Hi MoneyFace =p

Awesome theme! Very fast! Your's and GenerationX are the only two "fast" themes.. I can notice stuttering on all other themes :(

One request: Can you do a complete green Gingerbread version?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mariotme:
I agree with Kalpik :)

would also LOVE to see a complete gingerbread green version
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heep:
I wanted to check if Android 2.3.* (Gingerbread) was available yet on KIES 2.0.0.11014_49.

However, KIES gives me a message that my phone can't be updated.

Yes, I rooted, hacked and cracked my phone just to get the Android 2.2 (Froyo) on it. (December 2010...)

So my phone is now labeled as having Baseband version: I9000XXJPP

Is Samsung punishing people for not waiting 9 months for an update?

Anyway, not important, how do I make sure that I can receive updates again?

Or should I not wait again.....and just follow one of the tutorials for a 2.3 update?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to answer!

Cheers'

Read it slowly .

GINGERBREAD Android 2.3 HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED by Samsung .

Beta version is in the wild that's all for now .

I didn't take your advice, so I read it real quick.

Anyway, thank you for replying!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
2.2???? Man that's ancient!

They may look the same but 2.2.1 is miles ahead in terms of performance. Lagfix is a must on 2.2 but optional on .1.

So yep, don't wait again - take the 'Odin/samfirmware' path if you want official 2.3 asap when it comes out. CWM is also handy to have for custom roms (optional).

You will never want to use kies again.

Kies Registry patcher can help fake region, but odin/samfirware for ease of use, access to ALL firwares including betas and simpler to save firmwares if you ever need to reflash again quickly.

BTW: you don't need to be rooted to upgrade to stock firmware from another region, just the correct registry.

hey guys , *trying* to get my first boot animation up and running . whenever i render video in Photoshop to get my multiple .pngs , they are way too big . my bootanimation.zip ends up being over 13mb . from what i hear, the reason it is not booting is because there is a size constraint there. im no photoshop wiz , but i read i can mess with optimization settings to reduce size . however , every instructional i find is 3 years old and no longer applies in cs5 .

can someone hold my hand and explain to me how to get the size of this monster down? thanks.
[Android Themes] brewcrewwheels:
you have a couple options. if you are making an animation from video, you can try removing every other frame. i've done this many times and it usually has no effect on the animation.

another way to reduce image size (or even in addition to the above) would be to use software to compress the png files. i use png gauntlet. it is lossless compression, so there shouldn't be any loss of image quality. also, it has a very user friendly interface, as opposed to pngcrush, for example, which is a command line utility.

http://pnggauntlet.com/
[Android Themes] zul8er:
Like stated above. Your png's don't have to be the size of the screen. You just set them up proportional to the screen oriantation and then you set the size in the desc.txt with the first 2 numbers.
[Android Themes] brewcrewwheels:
oh, and i'm sure you came across this in your reading, but make sure you do not compress the zip file (in 7zip, select the store option)
[Android Themes] lucas.scott:
Thanks guys . My issue was compressing the zip . Put it in store.mode and it boots now ... but soooo choppy . Its like butter when I play it in Photoshop
[Android Themes] brewcrewwheels:
try messing with the fps in desc.txt

if you need any more help, i wouldn't mind giving you a hand if you can post the zip
[Android Themes] lucas.scott:
I have a Samsung galaxy s . We have a 30fps cap on bootanimations I hear... might be that way for all phones . But I don't think that's the issue . I look at the cm7 boot animation, which is gorgeous and smooth , and its at 24 fps. So I dunno . I will post what I have shortly to see if I'm missing something stupid
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemothablak:
i got a puzzle for someone to solve.. my hd2 broke today, and i just got a new one. my problem is that i cant remember the nrg rom i had installed in it... here is a description of what the rom look like:

when it booted, it showed the black NRG screen, then the htc simply beautiful crap, then the orange windows page.

has cookies home tab.

has youtube tab.

has registry.

has clear ram.

has manila tv right before you get to the settings tab.

the rom has a weird name, its like a dude's name.

does not have the Footprints tab.

if you have any ideas on what it could be, please email me.... i've searched the hell out of google, but cant find it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Could it be the energy rom, perhaps?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
I dont recall an energy rom coming with the manila tv tab or clear ram for a long time if ever. I think somethings been flashed over an energy rom and the splash screen has remained.

Good luck lol :D
[Desire HD General] p3eps:
My fiancee has an iPhone 4, and the other day sent me a video by email.

The file came over as a .mov file - which I couldn't play.

I had a search, and I read that RockPlayer played .mov files on Android, so I downloaded the demo. It gave me an error when trying to play.

I thought it was maybe because the video had been edited in the iPhones iMovie - so I had her send me another one that wasn't edited.

It produced the same problem.

Has anyone successfully managed to play a .mov file from an iPhone 4 - and what program did they use?

I'm trying to play them on an HTC Desire HD if that makes a difference?
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
Can't she encode her videos in .mp4 instead? It should be in the options, .mov is a dead codec thats why nothing plays it lol you could always try vplayer :)
[Desire HD General] p3eps:
I've had a look and can't see anything about changing the recording format to mp4.

I downloaded the vplayer demo which worked, so I paid the £2.95 for the full version.

Cheers :D
[HD2 General] the_pRO_designer:
Hey guys! I have searched the forums and haven't found a problem quite like this yet. Recently, I got some water on my phone, but was able to wipe it off, and it worked fine, and the water damage indicators on the phone are still white. During that day though, after rebooting the phone, the screen appeared to not turn on, so i thought it WAS water related damage, of course.

I put the phone in rice for a few days, and NOTHING, till one day i looked at the phones screen under intense light.

The phone vibrates after you power it on, but then that's all you get, but upon further inspection under a bright light you can see the MAGLDR boot screen come up, and load all the way to the GO GO GO part, then it freezes and stops.

The screen is still black, and there's no light at all, you have to hold it DIRECTLY under bright light to see it.

I am ..or was...running the android NexusHD2 gingerbread 2.2 NAND (2.3.2) rom with MAGLDR 1.12 installed.

I can get into the boot menu, and all the hard buttons work. I can even play tetris, when i can see it. >.>

The MAGLDR seems to work fine, the android doesnt work, or load anyway.. I an go into USB flasher, option 5 on the boot menu, and reload android, but it does not resolve the problem.

Any suggestions oh wise XDA members?:confused:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I am not an expert when it comes to the hardware side of tbe HD2, bjt I am learning. It kinda sounds like you may have got some water inside the unit either through the speaker opening t the top of the front of the phone or in around the small openimgs around the buttons at the bottom of the front of the phone. My bet is it was the buttons cuase this is close to the digitizer. And it sort of sounds like the digitizer is malfuncting.

Seeing as you have tried reflashing the ROM the only real sugestion I got is maybe get you a small hex head screwdriver and open up your HD2. Take the mainboard out and the digitizer out and very lightly use a hair dryer on the low setting to try and dry them out. make sure to bold the dryer a good distance from them cause you do not want to get them hot just dry them out.

Now you still have a waranty I would just do a warranty exchange or have them repair it. If you don't have a warranty and don't want to try this I do not blame you. It is just the only idea I have. You can always find a cell phone repair shop and have them do it.

Best of luck.
[HD2 General] brundleflyy:
This happened to me too. My HD2 was completely submerged, but luckily for me I had the torx needed to immediately open it up. I didn't use a dryer, but I did towel it off. Then I just left it off and apart for 5 days before I actually put in the battery and turned it on. I did have to replace the screen because it cracked to hell, but my main concern was knowing that it would still function. Good Luck.
[HD2 General] the_pRO_designer:
Okay, I contacted HTC today after reinstalling winmo 6.5 stock for the HD2, A guy named bob told me I could send it in and have it repaired covered by HTC. My guess is that because the water damage indicators are white, they shouldn't void me, right?

I am guessing it IS the digitizer because of the following reasons.

Winmo works fine, though the sim card will need to be replaced, which is no problem. the touch screen does not function and the screen is still black and wont light up, but winmo boots successfully, like I said, viewing under bright light.

I think I am going to try and send it to HTC, if they say its void, then I am going to try repairing the digitizer, as the tmo digitizers are readily available now. Before that though, I will try your suggestion T-Macgnolia.

I'll post my results soon!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumu_li:
Moved from Development section and added more information.

I have a Desire with customized Rom with Data2Ext. I can connect my WiFi. But when I go to somewhere (let's the WiFi disconnect) and come back, my Desire can connect to WiFi without any problem but I can't access my network.

More information is as below:

1. from my pc, I can't ping to my phone.

2. the configuration seems good in my phone(busybox ifconfig).

3. from phone, can't ping to the net gate.

Andriod 2.2

Baseband: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

Kernel: 2.6.32.15

Internal Version: 2.29.405.5

I tried to shutdown the network interface and to bring it up again to see if some issue happens during starting up. But I couldn't shutdown that interface.

Everything is ok if I turned off my WiFi and turned on again.

Looks like some settings were not reseted when connection was back.

Anybody can help me in this case?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashmaniac:
Try a diffrent rom. One without D2EXT etc. Use a almost stock i.e. Leedroid.

So you can be sure that its not about your hardware.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumu_li:
Actually, this version is a almost stock ROM. Maybe it's something related to router definition.

I will try another router to see if the problem still exists.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EranSa:
does your phone acquire an address from the router? could be a lease-time issue, or DHCP issue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumu_li:
For the 1st question, my answer is yes. I could see the address and I also could see the route via terminal. But from my phone, I could not able ping to the network gate.

Lease-time issue, it could be. Don't know, how to confirm that?

DHCP issue, seems not.

[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
so my brother has a nexus S. i have an iphone 4, and i ordered from amazon last week the Atrix and i got it yesterday " returned it yesterday also . screen flicker problem. " anyway here is what i think between the 2 devices.

Speed :

surprisingly i found the nexus S faster in terms of response / no lag. my brother didnt overclock the phone. but in terms of use. the nexus S was faster.

the Atrix S sometimes lag athe app drawer, when you move an icon to the main widget screen. it might be cause of the stupid blur is too slow. but its for what its.

who knows when atrix would get faster than the nexus S if it got custom roms or clean rom just like the nexus S. but i dont think it will if any.

Games :

i tried need for speed shift on both phones. i couldnt tell the difference. in fact. it looked better on nexus S due to the colors .

however. we also tried the Nintendo 64 emulator. and some games like killer instect and golden eye run much better on atrix " almost not playable on nexus S. so we over clocked the nexus to 1.5 i think. it was better. but the phone started to hang and reboot

Screen :

personally, i think the super amoled is one of the best screens in the market. but i thought that high res qhd screen on atrix might make a difference. and i was wrong. i could still see the pixels on both atrix and nexus S. the difference is the colors are much better on nexus S. super amoled wins here hands down. qHD my @$$.

Sound :

i think both are the same. loud and clear sound on both devices.

Hardware design :

this is personal taste. but i did like the finger touch access on the atrix. even tho its hard to turn on the phone due to its awkward place. i found that its easier on nexus S. the curves on nexus S PERSONALLY looks better than the curves on Atrix.

Camera :

i tried few shots. i thought it looked better again on the nexus S. the atrix shots had this sort of dots/dust fliter on it. didnt look clean at all. dont know if my phone had a defective camera as well or not.

[Atrix 4G General] Phantom1275:
I'm sure this is a Motoblur issue. Man, that thing is laggy! If you try a different launcher (LP or ADW, for instance), it'll get much better. I have seen that, even in single cores like Defy or Milestone 2.
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
why do they keep using it ? your average phone user wont know its a blur issue and go for different launchers. he will try the phone at the store. its lagging. screw it and try the next phone.
[Atrix 4G General] krohnjw:
They need something to differentiate their brand of Android phones from others on the market. Vendor skins are the only real way to do it for the average consumer.

The hope is that you enjoy the enhanced functionality or look that a custom skin brings and will steer your future purchases based on that (i.e. you like motoblur and don't want to lose it, so buying a phone with HTC Sense will be less attractive than another phone with motoblur).

I don't think that average users are going anywhere near a custom launcher (nor do they know what a "Launcher" is even if they stumble upon it in the market).

Demo phones tend to run fairly well in stores (if they have an operational demo) and the average use time for a demo phone is pretty small. I don't think most people would come away with a negative impression from high end phones using the demo units.

[Atrix 4G General] CyberPunk7t9:
Thank you for the quick review.

Did you ship it back for a replacement or just a refund?
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
The fact that Android itself doesn't require a dual core phone with a gig of ram speaks in volumes here.

As the OP stated, he saw improvements for the Atrix when he played games on the N64 emulator; the phone is fast, yes, but things like aa locked bootloader and 2.2 slow it down when in comparison to pure Google devices with a good ROM.

I'm on a 2.3.3 rooted, deoxed, ziplined N1 and this is the fastest I've seen any phone go, and I have a OCed Capttivste and I had the Atrix as well.
[Atrix 4G General] gordesky1:
Probably have a defective camera or something sense the camera takes very clear and sharp pics on mine.

And for the speed heck even when i first got mine everything was super fast motor blurr didn't cause any problems for me, And ya im not a normal user which pretty much everything i get my hands on i want too hack or overclock:)

Like my galaxy tab im running voodoo and have it overclock too 1.4ghzs.

And for the screen it looks fine on my atrix and i don't see any pixels unless i turn the screen on very bright than i see them which i usely keep mine on low which is good enough.

And for the power button were its located at i like were its at hehe sense if its in my pocket the power button doesn't get bump and its easy for me too turn it on.

Every buddy has there own preferences tho:)
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
for now i returned it back for refund. i need to know if i will get my money first. then i will probably order another one. i think thats a safier bet. unless can get my hands on here in KSA regardless of its price.
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
yeah i also do think i had a defective camera because it wasnt supposed to be like this.

and i am not dissing the atrix really i know its great art of a hardware. in fact when i retuned my atrix my brother told me why dont you go with nexus S ? it didnt feel right to me because somehow i knew i was going back step in terms of technology

its just the blur. 2.2, locked bootloader is really killing the phone. this phone, on paper, should be at LEAST 2 to 3 times more powerful than nexus S. yet the nexus S imho is winning in terms of pure speed and response. even zoom in and out in the browser was faster on nexus S. but once it was pure gaming ? the atrix ran circles over nexus S
[Atrix 4G General] gordesky1:
Ya hopefully the devs will crack the bootloader which im sure will happen in the future sense there's alot of stuff going on in the dev section lately:)

What i would love too see on it is a voodoo kernel with overclocking too like 1.5ghzs the phone would be really flying than.
[Atrix 4G General] GSMinCT:

[Atrix 4G General] aloudermilk:
ll_l_x_l_ll , If you had a defective one, then how can you review it properly? How do we know what other problems your phone had? It would also appear you had a bad camera too? Is this really a valid evaluation ? Can you compare it to the Nexus S that way. I'm just saying :-) Motorola has really delivered in the phone department on this one. The phone, believe it or not? is awesome on this device!!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] waltah!:
Nope. You're not:)
[Atrix 4G General] LancerV:
Also as far as the cameara goes it seems to be fixed with the new update
[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
- The qHD screen color sucks for sure. Colors are distorted compare to IPS screen and color calibration sheet. Super AMOLED is vibrant yet suffer from burn-in problems and consumes too much power decreases the internet browsing time.

- The camera is a little pink here is my example of the quality.

Atrix....hm... too much hype....
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i had a defective camera. and the screen used to flicker on high brightness.and i did mention it. why cant i make an impression based on the other things beside the cam ?

and i do agree the phone as hardware is awesome. its the best in the market and imho better than the optimus 2x.

but as its stands right now. the nexus S was a better phone if you are not a gamer. and thats only due to the software being locked down and 2.2 along with blur.

i did mention when i started playing emulators that requires power, the Atrix did circles over Nexus S.

the screen whatever you like super amoled, iphone ratina, motorolla Qhd,, is something personal. but in my eyes i saw the super amoled better because i thought with QHD i wont be able to see pixels on screen " which is a good trade off. no pixels, but less colors. just like the iphone ratina " . and i was able to see the pixels just like how i did with the nexus S. so it came back to me which has better colors and again, imho the super amoled was better.

not saying the qHD is bad. if i can pick one of the phones right now thats both working perfectly, imma pick the Atrix. its just the super amoled is better to look at. and if you are not a hardcore gamer, you will probably enjoy the nexus S more for now. due to the lack open bootloader, roms. etc

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moos3y:
unless you bought extra warranty then im sorry but you are out of luck :/

your best bet would be to buy another eris off ebay or swappa if your trackball problem keeps occurring

however.. do try cleaning the trackball first if that remedies it a little

I had this problem occur to me as well but only when it was plugged in and my trackball problem only occurred when i was using HTC Sense stock. When using a ROM my trackball problem didn't happen so often so maybe you can try that

It won't hurt to call Verizon to see if they will let you upgrade your contract now. It used to be that they would allow it after 13 months for some contracts, and they famously changed that a couple of months ago, but those policies are supposed to go into effect after your next contract change. Try calling to see if they will let you upgrade.

If not, then I guess buy a used phone.

WARNING: Do not hold it against me if this causes your trackball to stop working at all, or to stop working partially, or any other harm to your phone.

Try this.

Press the trackball HARD (don't try to push it all the way through the back of the case, though), and while pressing so hard, roll it around in all directions. Do this for at least 15 seconds, although you can try longer if you want or need to.

See if it'll behave for a while.

Note also that scary alien makes a version of the Eris recovery (you didn't say if you're rooted or not) that doesn't require the trackball.
