[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
All of this is very true.

From a user-perspective this is what you'll see differently.

1. Camera/Camcorder/Gallery - This is generally better on Sense ROMs for our phone because they were made for our phone. And as for gallery, I prefer the 2d Sense gallery vs the 3d gallery in AOSP ROMs that often are buggy for me.

2. Dialer - I like to be able to use the T9 to type in my contacts names (yes I know there are 3rd party programs that do this, I'm talking strictly AOSP).

3. Rosie Launcher - Like stated before, the launcher is good if you use the widgets and stuff, I personally don't use it though.

4. Smoothness vs Snappiness - In my experience, AOSP ROMs are snappier, which means there is more "raw power" feel to it. Sense is very smooth, some things might take milliseconds longer to load, but it feels very smooth and I think the overall feel is nicer.

Basically, our phone was designed in mind to have HTC Sense on it. With AOSP ROMs, some of the features feel "botched" (in my opinion, the camera/camcorder is botched the most). But there are really no "limitations" to either, they are both android after all.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWorth:
TheWhiteBandito said it very well.. that was essentially my experience with everything. i stayed away from AOSP for a while because i really liked the sense camera/camcorder, gallery app, dialer, calculator, and a few little things. I think i used launcher pro so rosie didn't matter much for me.

Now i'm on MIUI which is AOSP but it has some SERIOUS customizations. it has its own camera and gallery apps which are similar to the sense apps. the dialer i think is better than AOSP and Sense dialers. it also offers tons of other customizations which are really great. check it out
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
The only thing I think I would miss from Sense is the fact I miss so many widgets.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstrom23:
You could try widgetsoid from the Market. I really liked the Sense Widgets, but widgetsoid is actually more advanced. You can make all sorts of custom widget bars and even load into the notification pull down. I also run Launcher Pro instead of Sense launcher. It works better and you can do a lot more with it. Rosie was an improvement when all you had was stock Donut, but these days there are better options and HTC has not really kept up.

That being said, I still like a lot about Sense. In particular, the Mail app, Facebook sync and photo posting, Camera, Gallery, and overall aesthetics. It would be hard to give these up.

(Oh, and download the Gingerbread keyboard from the Market.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoops5:
As others have said its not necessarily limitations but more the look and feel of the OS. Honestly, while I do love the Sense flip clock, the only two widgets I really missed were the full page calendar and friends. Now that I'm on CM7 I use LauncherPro Plus and the full page widgets are almost exactly the same look and function of the Sense ones. Play around with different combinations of both Sense and AOSP and see what you think.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemitero:
thanks everyone, all that was very informative. currently using inc re-engineered z and liking it a lot but i might try MIUI for an ASOP rom since it sounds like it doesn't have problems with the camera/camcorder :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicardium:
MIUI is indeed cool, but stay away from the newest (3.18) if you want to use 720p video recording. Until something happens to get us the drivers for our camera on gingerbread, that capability will be unavailable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gemitero:
I actually have MIUI GB version on my SD card. I was planning to try it out but I'm so amazed how this miui rom is so diiferent from sense. Its like I need to learn how to use my dinc all over again lol. Thanks for the heads up. Ill eventually flash the GB version to try it out but I'm enjoying this one right now :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Thats the best way to go about it is try for yourself. Every dinc is slightly different from other dinc's some are great some are good some are bad. So try try try and you will find the flavor that suits you and your dinc the best.

You want something that automatically switches Mobile Data OFF when not used ? And when you hit any app that requires internet to switch it ON ?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
I understand now.

Try tasker, you can do whatever you want with that app. You can control every part of the phone. I'm using it and I've got to admit that it is amazing. This is the kind of app that makes Android a beauty.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mmarz:
I accomplish the same thing using a firewall that enables when the screen turns off and disables when the screen turns on. What I've found is that it doesn't save any battery to turn off 3G when there is no data being transferred. So long as the firewall is up, I can leave 3G and Wifi on. I get about 70 hours of battery on the Optimus V using this configuration.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
I find it quite "usable" these days, but I strongly agree it could be MUCH better. I get dropouts quite often when driving, and in comparison, my years-old Forerunner 305 seems to produce more consistent tracks when jogging.

I find it suspicious that those here who speak of the GPS as "excellent", never post any tracks showing it too.. So I can only assume the GPS is poor for everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

As i have said before define usable and poor .

Quick lock without WiFi Driving GPS works .

Route tracking as near as i would want bearing in mind that my route tracking would be car use . Walking route tracking had no problems when i tested it .

I have posted tracks but their was no response .

GPS as good as my Nokia 5800 was and not as good as a Tom Tom stand alone GPS unit .

Not bothered to test it against my laptop and sirf kit .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pixie77:
I'm in no way saying the Galaxy's GPS is better than the Desire but........last week I was on top of a mountain skiing with my mate who has the Desire, I got a lock and good tracks with accurate average speed and so on he did not. My Galaxy locked within 10 seconds while the Desire took about 3 mins and then gave inacurate results. I was using Sports Tracker he was using Endomondo.

I'm now reasonably happy with my Galaxys GPS performance although I know it's not the best.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabads:
I've created a ~500mb ext2 partition on my sdcard on redux custom rom 1.0.2 on htc desire. However, Link2sd doesn't seem to like this partition (complains that it can't mount and can't write a script to automount at boot), but then I read that redux comes with something installed already. However, it doesn't seem to be using the partition properly.

Mount shows up thus:

#mount

...

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

...

Any suggestions about what I need to do to get this partition used as part of the system storage?

Thanks in advance.

Try ext3 / ext4.

AFAIK ext2 is no longer supported in the scripts.

Hi there,

I do have similar problems.

After flashing latest Redux2 Rom, my Desire refuses to mount my SD-Card. I'm not able to see it in the Settings, nor am i able to flash or Restore anything from it in Recovery mode.

After trying going to "Flash zip from sdcard" i get the Error:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(No sich file or direktory)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:

I already tried the SD-Card in another phone and it's working proberly. I Already formated it on the other phone and tried formating it in Recovery.

As a result i'm also unable to reRoot it with unRevoked as the Phone won't go into USB mode...

Any suggestions how i might fix this problem?

Probably can be, if the SD card is under heavy I/O it might skip. But no idea why other music players don't. I use poweramp, and it never skipped not even when DLing a 150 MB file.

correct me if I'm wrong, but the issue on the SGS which made the lagfix necessary (namely the poor comm protocol of the internal SD card RFS) isn't even present on the Optimus 2X. So even if the lagfix installed, it wouldn't change a thing.

Like Paul said, make sure you don't have any malicious apps on your phone.

OP, please think about those things before trying them... Read, learn. Don't just do stuff for it might easily brick your phone.

Can anybody tell me, if there are a change with the above problem? at this time, you can only sync to the main calendar of any account (Google, Exchange, Windows Live). But any of this, can support multiple calendars/account in the webview or in Outlook to. Only WP7 does not support this. Are there any news, if this is supported in a future update? NoDo, Mango or a Update before Mango?

A workaround could be syncing categories (and categorie colors) via Exchange, but this isnt also supported at this time. Very anoyying.

i would be happy, if a WP7 Developer can give me some Hints about the development belonging to this, but i have no real hope.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
No news that I know of, but you can count on it being implemented at some point. They know they will need it, and WM has it. Their business users will need it for sure, but I doubt that is a priority at the moment. MAYBE towards the end of the year? Next year would be my guess.

The problem with this is, they will see S-Off in the bootloader. Unless they don't check... but every time I've taken mine in they always boot into the bootloader at some point. Without a functioning usb, unrooting will be difficult.

Plus, the phone would have to be replaced if the port is broken, it can't be fixed. So this method wouldn't work anyway.

I had an Evo with a broken port. You could feel that it was loose, though. If you held it a certain way it would connect. I either had to weigh down the cable so it would press up inside the port, or set the phone on the edge of a flat surface higher than the charger. Try those things & see if it works.

I know it sounds kind of obvious, but are you positive it isn't the usb cable?

I cant see why something like that cant be done, physically the phones are identical bar the eu version has 8gb built in. software wise its bloody awful.

I loaded the only custom rom available on today which actually allowed me to roam properly in uk and pick up orange whilst three signal was being pants. Their is problems with the graphics in th ui with that custom rom though. still it makes me wanna keep phone now as i was a bit disheartened with the bloat ware and custom menus.

Its supposed to be a 1st quarter release for the euro pro so not lang to wait and see if anything is possible.
[Droid Pro General] hanybanoub:
Thanks machode - I agree completley built in software is crap.

I'm also hoping the new flashed phone will pick up signals better.

I'm convinced the USA lock on certain bands affects how good of a connection we make here.

To give you an idea, I had Giffgaff and can at most get 2 bars (centre of Birmingham and sometimes London for work) but switching to a 'normal' android phone, I easily got 3 and most of the time 4 bars of H.

I'm hoping the flash is indeed possible.

The UK site of motorola already has some info on the motorola pro - so you're right its release is immanent.
