[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] butter my toast:
After reading this thread i decided to give this a try. My battery meter was a little off from being full and after flashing radio 2.12.50.02.2 it went up to full bar. With all my data apps running and updating @ 1hr intervals and some use of youtube and facebook i see significant changes in battery life. Im using HD2O© v1.04 WP7 BUILD 7.0.7008.0. will do more testing and post as needed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kowcherimam:
it works for me but quite a pain to do it every night. Could you guys come up with some permanent solution?

It's not actually a widget, but what about the calendar reminders. I find that the stock reminder stinks...so I use Calendar Snooze. http://www.appbrain.com/app/calendar-snooze/com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
HELLZ YEAH !!!

This is a great source..

Thanks for this thread

STICKY PLEASE !! hahaha..

To the OP, please update the original post with all of the suggestions that are posted so that if this list grows to several pages, someone won't have to read through it all to see if it's already been suggested.

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G General] abanh:
Colorize widget - great replacement for Facebook/Friendstream and agenda calendar. You also have a contacts and messaging widget as well.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.snowbee.colorize&feature=search_result
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
keep em coming! just updated the list
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
yes it does.. but I don't people to be limited to just Launcher Pro. This is more if people want a HTC look with say GO launcher, ADW, Zeam, etc...
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
see comment above! I don't want users to be limited to LauncherPRO when GOlauncher EX or ADW EX are worthy launchers..
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
would the colorize widget be scrollable on touchwiz or only for the previously mentioned launchers? ( I ask since touchwiz has other scrollable widgets.)

edit2: so i just tried to sign in with colorize and I got a suspicious activity alert, although i did get to play a fun guessing game at my friends photos to verify who i am.

edit: Also I just saw on appbrain the dev of visiual bookmarks also has visual contacts

Also if we are going for the look of sense the we need Fancy Widget v1.3 (picture) I can link it if it is not against the rules.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuroPreak:
Hi,

I'm having this strange problem with my carkit JVC-KD811 and my desire. When i pair them everything looks ok, phone book is getting transfered so far so good. But when i make a call, radio mutes and i can hear people talk, but they can't hear me. They can't hear me using the external micophone connected @ radio not the 3.5 mm plug in phone, nor using the internal mic. It's like the phone mutes both external and internal microphone if it's connected with bluetooth headset. Hoping someone can help me out, because i'm reading other people don't having issues with the type of car radio.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
So I sent an e-mail a few mins ago to the CEO of sprint about it, but I am really pissed off.

I don't get 4G at my house, and always assumed it was my house that was the problem as sprints coverage map show perfect coverage where I live. I then went on clear's site, and they show the opposite, they say I have coverage, but not good coverage. So not the kind that would get into my house.

I really at times, with I would have stayed with AT&T with the iphone 4 in the HSPA+ network we have here, as their coverage wasn't so spotty as sprints is turning out to be, and it makes me wonder if they lied about my house being covered, where else did I think I was going to get coverage but don't!
[Android Apps and Games] super74nova:
So I have been thinking about creating an app that you can send a message over short distances, maybe via bluetooth. What i envision is your walking around the supermarket, but instead of texting you open this app and it will send a short range message. I am unaware if this is even possible, and that is why i am on here. I am open for any input. Maybe it would throw a message at them, or made there phone vibrate or something.
[Android Software Development] blahblah2000:
I think it would be cool if there was an app that hid the status bar when there are no notifications and showed it when there are. This would open up a little bit of precious screen real estate, and also focus attention on the status bar when it's really needed. The only catch is that this program would have to differentiate between permanent notifications and temporary ones.

I have no developing skills, but this idea seems reasonable and it'd be awesome if someone else who knew how to make such a program could :)
[Android Software Development] PsHegger:
AFAIK it's impossible to write this program. You can't really hide the notification bar, instead you say that your app should be over it, but you can't hide it permanently. It is written in the program if it's visible or not
[Android Software Development] no6969el:
This is how the notion ink adams stock notification bar is.. I tell u one apparent flaw is that (well ateast notion ink couldn't figure it out) is the problem that when its hidden fine...but when u activate it goes over the top of any app open...which is very annoying and was the first thing I replaced (by changing roms) same day I got my adam.

[HD2 General] agentfazexx:
From what I've read, sounds right.
[HD2 General] simon_66:
You are screwed like me. Trust me, TMobile wont give you the code unless your a TMobile customer. I tried calling them 8 times to get a code and they didn't want to give me it. I had to pay $40 for a code. Your best bet it to go on ebay and look for the code.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] agentfazexx:
Yeah well I'm a T-Mobile customer so I'm good.

Just a few thoughts i had. If we do get cwm working. How do we get the stock recovery.img to flash back if we want to go back to stock? Also on my og streak they have streakmod recovery that a guy built. It works awesome maybe someone with some knowledge could pm him and pick his brain. I wonder if the og streak has the same problem where dealing with here. I know cwm does not work well on the og. Any thoughts on this?

[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:

[Dell Streak 7] binarybishop:
Slow down, lol. Even if I figure it out, I still gotta send it tou Koushik Dutta , and he will have to build an update to his app and put the update on the market before its available, and that could take a couple days. And the kernel will be farther away then that. I will keep you posted though.

@Hellzya

I am currently dumping every one of the 16 blocks, which will take a while. Since it only mounts the 4 blocks and doesnt show the others, I have to decifer each image file to find out which is the recovery image. Once I do that, I have to build a recovery zip that will be compatible with CWM.

Again, everyone, I will keep you posted.

If I get this going, I may need to start a streak dev team. If you are interested, let me know what you can offer with a specific skillset.

Be professional with it though. Not just that you got skills or you use linux occasionally. Real skills. Tell me in a pm. Dont post it in the forum.
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
If we have cwr then we can just back up our stock rom.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Not my point. When you flash cwm you loose your stock recovery. You need a recovery.img to get the stock one back. Say for warrenty issues or what not. We need a way to revert back to the stock recovery.

Edit here is a link to the og streaks recovery.

[Dell Streak 7] mooch777:
I know almost nothing when it comes to more hardcore Android deving - but i do know a thing or two about linux recoveries from listening to my friend about a year back talk about the security hierarchies of Chromium.

From what I understand, the section of memory where the recovery image is has to be force-mounted by the system when a recovery process is initiated, so that if there were ever some malicious problem with the OS, the recovery wouldnt be mounted at the time, and thus couldnt be harmed.

If it were possible to dump logcat while the system was running a recovery, would it be possible to see from where the image was coming, and where it was going?

Again, this is all just hypothetical, but from what I understand this is how Google plans (or at least at some point, planned) on implementing security of the recovery image. Again, just an idea.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:

I just sent a pm too the dev. Of streakmod recovery to get some insight from him. He developed his own recovery for the streak. And I'm wondering why. Is it because the mtd setup?

But I need something too revert back too.

[Dell Streak 7] bogdi1988:
Why not try fastboot boot recovery.img instead of flashing it? Will do no damage whatsoever. I will try that when I get to work in a bit.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Ya I wasn't sure if it would or not.. That's the only method of flashing a recovery is through fastboot. So I suppose its either gonna push or it isn't right? Go into streak development and find streakmod recovery thread. Use the beta version he has. But if it does somehow push and it replaces your stock recovery you have no way of reverting back until someone can come up with a recovery.img to flash. Let us know how it works

Gotcha well that's good then. My fingers are crossed that this will boot. I'm almost positive that the og streak shares the same type of recovery as the s7 as the og streaks bootloader is laid out the same as the 7. Let us know!!! Make sure you use the beta version first. Its loaded on my og streak and it works great. If that's a no go try the other version. Fingers crossed

As far as getting you the recovery.img....that is what i am in the middle of doing. I dumped every mount point, bt they are not labled so I have to find out which is the recovery img and then we will be in business. My only issue is I cannot figure out how to view or extract the android images to figure out which one is which, because there is a boot image there as well and we will need that to build a stable CWM recoverry image as well.

I currently have the Atrix. My 30 day return is up March 28th. With that said, I have a couple of questions:

How is the screen of the Inspire as it's compared to the Atrix and the Evo?

How is the battery? I know it's probably not as good as the Atrix, but will it at least go 10 hours?

How is the sound quality when recording video and playing music etc.?

How many times can you return a device to Bestbuy?
