The pop up only showed up randomly for me. Usually in the middle of typing something and it's like a 10 sec wait until you can type again. REALLY aggravating when it happened. I have pro now.

 

Here's my current home page

Anyone get the new Android Market yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pbo-...e_gdata_player

Its supposedly starting to roll out. I still have the old new version. lol.

 

so i found the best battery saver ever, when i'm home and i'm on wifi, i just turn my data off and my battery goes down so ltl especially when in standby mode.

 

Yes WiFi saves more power than 3G/4G. I always have mine on if I know I'm near a WiFi. I have mine set to always on even when the screen turns off. I've been experimenting on leaving it on and leaving a WiFi spot and have it reconnect on its own (like how they do it with the iPhones). My experiences on that are mixed. Some days it has no effect, and other days it drains. I've also changed the scan interval in the build.prop to 2 mins which is the max to help save some battery. Still need some more testing with it though.

 

For anyone who wants the new Android Market:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/07...ies-and-books/

I can confirm I have it installed. Movies doesn't work if you're rooted. (At least for now.) You will get charged and it will NOT play if you attempt it!

Just download the APK and install like any other APK with a file explorer. Sideload if you're on AT&T.

 

Lol. Hackers already bypassing the Google Movies root check:

It seems that a simple renaming of "su" to something else bypasses the check. They're just trying to streamline it now so its easier for the noobs. Looking forward to this.

 

The new market is pretty nice.

I switched over to MIUI 1.7.8 two days ago, and while the customization is nice and I absolutely love the dialer, the battery life sucks and its laggy as hell. Im probably going to flash something else tomorrow. Just need to find a good one...

 

Have you tried a different kernel? Have no issues with MIUI 1.7.8 on my Galaxy S especially considering they are now on RC/Stable builds for all their phones. Also, now that they're Stable builds, they'll only update once a month officially. Their unofficial updates will be every Friday now.

 

Im running Netarchy 1.3.4 overclocked to 1.3ghz. People on the forum seem to have good luck with that kernel. There are two others Ill give a shot before I jump ship.

 

Your phone might not be handling the OC very well. Have you tried testing it for stability? if its rebooting randomly then your phone can't handle it. Might need extra voltage to keep it at 1.3 but at that point, your battery life will be crap.

 

Apparently you don't need the Video/Movies app to watch and rent from the Market? Some people are reporting that when you rent a movie from the new Market, it'll direct you to YouTube where you can watch the movie you rented with the YouTube app, rooted or not rooted (If you don't have the Movies app installed). I guess you just lose the "Make available offline" feature which is probably what Google wanted to prevent rooted users from accessing. I would be willing to try it but $3.99 a movie on my phone is a little more than I'm willing to pay at the moment.

 

is it possible to have a different wallpaper on the lockscreen with CM7?

not using something like widgetlocker(if its even possible doing it that way)

 

Ive been OC'd for a very long time, running the Netarchy kernel with no issues. Its just battery life on MIUI and the lag that sucked. I was running Ultimate Droid 3.2.5 before (3.3.0 didnt run right for me) and it was very fast. I may just restore my backup if the new kernel doesnt fix the battery life issue. I used to average 32hrs on a charge, but Im currently getting about 14hrs with the same usage.

I just loaded Matr1x onto it, running it at 1.3ghz too, so we'll see how it goes throughout the day. The lag problem has gotten slightly better, but Im not sure if that is the kernel or because I wiped Dalvik cache when I flashed it.

 

CM7 and regular Android no. TouchWiz and MIUI yes.

 

Yours is looking



Minz.. with top unlocked and below with it locked



I use the little rooftop looking symbol to change it

 

anybody tried the Xperia Play?

Walmart is having a special for the phone with overnight shipping for free.

 

I have Droid X2 with ver2.2 and I can't update to 2.3 Gingerbread, any clues?

 

What happens when you try to update? Also, are you running a custom ROM or factory ROM?

 

Uh, factory?

 

rooting my dads mytouch 4G, and i'll be putting a custom ROM/Kernel on it too. See if he likes it. RIght now I think he prefers the iphone to his phone, but lets see if this fixes things.

 

you should answer the first part of his question too, so he knows what your phone is doing.

 

and now its time for me to jump ship and try MIUI

 

I tried the new MIUI last night. It still doesnt run well on my phone so I switched to NSCollab.

 

NSCollab is what I've always used, love that ROM.


So just installed it, the folder on my main page is in chinese, i open it up and it has things like voice dialer calculator monitor superuser and one chinese thing with a green background and an up arrow. Why is this the only chinese thing there?

 

Where did you d/l it? The one I got from the XDA was in English, but last weeks release had Chinese on the lockscreen. One of the many things on that rom that annoy me.

 

Where did you download it from? MIUIAndroid.com, MIUI.us, or MIUI.en?

MIUI.us has the English language already incorporated so its one flash. The other two you have to flash the English language pack separately. Otherwise, you get Chinese. Also, this week's MIUI has a folder bug. There is a patch that fixes it but what I did was use my Backup from last week's (1.7.8) and restored my desktop settings onto this week's.

Try getting MIUI from here:

I'm digging the new lockscreen with the Music Album back in place. Not digging the Dot Page indicator like the iPhone's. Its kind of a step backwards IMO. The new widget placement is pretty nice too. MIUI also changed some of the smali coding so I'm trying to figure out how to make my Launcher Font Bold. My coding isn't good enough as it is though.

 

Rooted or unrooted? If you are rooted, I suggest you unroot before you try to update. It can mess up your phone. If you aren't rooted, what are you trying to do to get the update and what's happening?

 

Not sure if the Sprint guys saw this:

http://thisismynext.com/2011/07/15/s...rint-pictures/

Galaxy SII for Sprint is coming. Android 2.3.4 so it comes with Google Video chat. Lots of unknowns still though like whether or not it has 4G and when its supposed to come out. So far I'm hearing its being released early Sept.

 

i got it from the ROM thread for my forum on xda. Its the chinese version which I need to downloard the english pack for.

here is where i got it from.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1100495

the link you posted, is that the most updated running 2.3.4 for nexus s??

nvm i missed the full english version. Will do this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1117808

Thanks guys for informing me of that

 

Then its probably from MIUIAndroid. Try the MIUI.us builds. They seem to be more stable (at least in my experience) than MIUIAndroid. They're practically the same core wise, they just have very minor differences but for whatever reason, MIUI.us builds are a lot better for me plus its just one flash instead of two. (I just steal the boot animation from MIUIAndroid's build though cause its nicer looking than MIUI.us builds: system/media/bootanimation.zip)

Just saw your edit. Yeah, MIUI.us and MIUIAndroid builds are both the latest. They were actually one in the same back in the day but some drama made them split into two sites. Long story short, MIUI.us is based in the US, and MIUIAndroid is based in the UK. They both use the Chinese as a base and then translate and upload before the other makes their builds. lol. Otherwise, they're the same thing base wise.

 

I guess not

 

My nephew has it. It seems like a decent rig but I havent gotten much time to play with it. Id prefer a keyboard to a game pad though if it were my phone. It has stock Android which is a plus.

 

Just got the other version, gonna have to leave to dinner soon so i wont be playing around with it to much right now, but I think i'm gonna get this ROM for my dad since he's used to the iphone and all.

 

Specs wise its an okay phone. Haven't played with one in person but the fact that its Vanilla Android and Sony Ericsson is claiming to unlock bootloaders, its pretty futureproof for now. The only thing I don't like is the bulkiness of the phone but that's the trade off for physical buttons.

 

You can get the Ultimate iPhone Theme to complete the transformation. He might not know the difference. lol:

http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php...eme-6.0Beta2.1

Just save the .mtz file in the sdcard/MIUI/theme/ folder and apply it with the Theme Manager.

 

ok i'm having some trouble rooting my dads mytouch 4G

I'm using this method which uses visionary to gain temproot access and then i need to push some files using adb stuff to the sd card and access that through terminal emulator. My problem is with terminal emulator. I need to find the files in my sdcard, and what i'm suppose to do is type in cd/data/local, but it cant find it. I cant find anything in my sdcard for that matter even typing in cd/sdcard/...

Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post15723908
I'm stuck on step 8

 

ok this terminal emulator is kinda making me mad. Tried three different way, all requiring terminal emulator but it cant find files in the sd card. I must be missing something here

 

Its been VERY long since Ive used Term Emu but is the sdcard mounted?

 

Are you putting a space between "cd" and "/sdcard/" There is a space between the two not like how you typed it. "cd" = change directory command [space] "directory you want to change to". You might already know this but just in case it wasn't apparent.


Use command "ls" without quotations to display whatevers in that directory. Its like the "dir" in command prompt. If you aren't at the root directory, you may not be able to find the "sdcard" or "data" folder. To go back a couple folders, type "cd ." or "cd .." again without quotations in terminal. Then type "ls"
