Vogue-HTC build, based on Cupcake, pulled..

I've pulled this build. I stand behind google's request to not distribute builds including closed source applications.

what is advanced launcher?

it allows you to hide apps you don't use from your launcher drawer by dragging them to the trash.

Hey mssmison,
Your post says 320x240 res, but the decription on Vogue android says 320x480
Booted up using usual 320x480 fine, data and market works, able to place a call.
nice theme and pretty damn fast so far also.

actually, try 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for a correct aspect ratio while allowing the usage of all the apps.

very, very nice release indeed.
- using 320x427 with lcd.density=160 for correct aspect ratio while not breaking any apps (such as keyboard).
- very fast call notification (within 1st ringtone)
- wifi working
- data working
- market working
- very fast
- left some extra stuff, such as the rogers stuff (my account, ringback, ringtones), teeter, :-/

I set to 320x427 with lcd 160 but some apps like the music app is still getting cut off.
Also on the market I am only seein a few apps and games, not the full market.
I had this same issue with the 1.6 donut also.

it works with basefiles-20090919-v2
delete/rename any current data.img
1st boot takes a little longer (5 minutes?) displaying only a black screen in the process. just wait...

On the google Code page you will find a new bundle for the newly updated HTC cupcake build.
Includes advanced launcher, latest messaging app as well as many others.
You must make sure your res is 320x240 to boot. again the old rootfs won't work, this one is updated. I'll update the bundle later.

Hi
What a wonderfull build.. Thanks a lot to all who have developed this. Andriod definetly is far better than WM (for me atleast)
Was able to install the rogers build. It took sometime. I used the rootfs.img that came with the zip but didnt work on my tilt. So i used the one from the basefiles-v2 and that did the trick. It took sometime to load initially but did work.
Things that worked
1. Wifi and Market. Was able to download applications
2. Browser working
3. Calling and SMS worked (though with slight issues)
4. GPS working (recoginzed in google maps and Sportyhal)
5. Import contacts worked
6. Music with good clear sound
7. Great speed
Things that didnt work or had issues
1. You tube connect and i can listen to music but can only see the first image that it download and not the whole video
2. For some reason I cannot confirm at this time the calling was going thru but wasnt able to hear the call answer
3. All new icons for shopping, Home, My account give errors
4. Standard things not working - Camera, bluetooth, speakerphone on call, the calibaration application always force closes.
Not tried data connection as I dont use it
Can anyone help me out with anyof the above issue or is this something everyone is facing.....
I will continue to use this version instead of WM ...
Thanks

May be tilt related with the calling. I use this as my daily build and haven't experieinced these issue. The rogers apps that are there are only for rogers network users. I had a request to leave them so I did. You can always hide them with the advanced launcher, just drag them to the trash.

XM Radio Froyo 2.2 Update is out XM 1.1

http://www.siriusxm.com/android/indexd.html
View attachment 403113

Awesome, love my XM.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Just tried it a bit. I'm on Fresh 3.2. It used to not even connect, just say "Aquiring Data Connection"
With this update it plays and doesn't loop, but it sure does jump and skip quite a bit. Guess it's a start....
Only Froyo ROM I've ever gotten SXM to work right on is CM6 - which I don't wanna go back to.

Nice thanks for the update. I guess signing up on their webpage for an update email was pointless.

Well thats how I found out they emailed me. Also make sure you dont have the stagefright fix since I am also running Fresh 3.2 and had to switch back to stock stagefright files in order for it to play properly.
1 hr running and no problems so far... Thanks XM

Please tell me what you did to stagefright. I know Flipz made some changes to it but I don't know how to undo them. In my build.prop the player is enabled and it still skips a lot.
Thanks!!

I am using Fresh 3.2 and the new SiriusXM app is working fine for me. I'd say about 3 skips every hour or so. I actually only use this for Bloomberg and CNBC - I much prefer slacker and pandora for music, so a couple of skips is no big deal for me.
What I desperately can't figure out is how to record a live stream off the sound card (for lack of a better term). All recording apps seem to use the microphone only. Any ideas so that I can listen to specific CNBC shows like Kudlow on my ride home?

Just extract the stagefright files from your original rar file and then ad push or copy and paste with Root explorer into the system/lib folder overwriting the files that are there now
Then replace the build.prop with the one from your original rom rar file as well.
I WIll try and attached them here for you.... what rom are you running

Actually, after a reboot, I'm finding no skips at all as well.

Hate to bump this thread up again, but seemed like the best place to post rather than making a new thread.
Is anybody having issues with SXM 1.1 and connecting in the past couple of days? Its worked flawlessly for me since the update, and I've been happy with it again. However, now, on startup, the application hangs on "Checking for Updates".
Tried clearing data, uninstall/reinstall, and hard reset fresh install. All no dice.
Anybody else having issues?

Just rooted now what?

I've just rooted my phone now what can I do? Can someone point me in the direction of some good roms
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

Well I'd say one of the best things that comes from a rooting your phone is Wireless Teather
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
You can "teather" your phones internet connection to other WiFi devices, like a laptop or portable device.
Also, overclocking your phone (making the processor run faster) is pretty sweet:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&feature=search_result

Not to be a jerk but it's "tether" not "teather". SetCPU is a great overclocking app and is free if you get it from XDA but overclocking will only work on kernels that support it.

Despite the slight grammatical errors pointed out by another poster, tethering is indeed a great tool to utilize after rooting your phone.

Could you please explain what exactly tethering is?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

Tethering is allowing your computer or laptop to use your phone's internet connection. Depending on the app and type of tethering you might also be able to use things like a nintendo DS, tablets, etc. Most game consoles can also be tethered but not directly, you have to share the connection through a computer.
P.S. the only reason I corrected the spelling is to make searches easier, not to be a jerk.

Search market for AdFree , install and update(run) it.
It should rid ur phone from all kinds of advertisements , in-app and browser ones too, def a must have

Hello,
I rooted my phone (HTC Evo) in order to use screencast because I'm disabled and can't use my hands. I then installed cyanogen and my apps that came with the phone are gone (voicemail, market, etc). Can someone please help?
Thanks!

You need to install the gapps.zip file for your phone to get market, youtube, gmail, etc back. You still won't have your data but the apps will be there.

thank you! do i put it on the sd card?

You flash the gapps zip the same way you flash a normal ROM.

does overclocking make your device hotter?

It can yes, it can also shorten the lifespan of the phone if pushed too hard too long as well as cause stability issues but as long as you don't push it too far you should be fine.

can anyone help...write an idea?

A couple of days ago, I paired mine just fine with an Android tablet and transferred a few pictures. Did nothing special.
Are you able to send via BT between those other two phones?
Are you running a custom rom or some task killer or battery optimizer?

I recently did a file transfer to droid x.
1. Paired the devices together
2. Using the builtin file browser, browse to the folder where the files are located
3. Hit the menu button and select the share option
4. from the prompted option, select bluetooth
5. Select the file(s) then pick the device from the list

i tried to send photo from Gallery, Root explorer and AndExplorer but no one is capable to send photo via bluetooth to another phone
PS:i am glad that i have WifiExplorer so in one Wifi network i run WifiExplorer and second phone can connect via Browser to my SD....but BT is better

I am running Litening ROM 1.4....but even on official XWKE2 that I had from shop i cannot send a file to Dell Streak for example. i dont have battery optimiser, having Advanced Task Manager

Well, maybe there's a problem with your ROM? As we can see in your signature you have an, well, extremely modded phone (different ROM, overclocked, other Kernel, Rooted etc.).
From my personal poin of view at first I would suggest to flash your phone back to the correct Standard Sammy ROM and to do a Factory Reset after that. and then try again. With this kind of extreme customizing you'll never know what you get.

I have the same problem. Running stock rom KE7 and when try to send a file to HD2 with Android, nothing happened. I can send files to my PC and receiving from HD2, just cannot send any. Tried from Galery and from Astro file manager.

Bluetooth only supports ad2p profiles for headsets, music, and sharing of contacts and pictures. all other things You cannot send to a different type of phone (brand/type/...) with android.
There are apps that "embed" this function in android like Bluetooth File Transfer, hope that helps you

I tried to send a file to a htc desire s few weeks ago...same symptom happens..paired but when sending it just says pending.. than bluetooth transfer fails. Than i found out on the desire s you have to unchek ftp file or something like that( i cant really remember) in the bluetooth settings. After that bluetooth transfer was sucessfull..
Just chek your desire hd settings..maybe there lies your problem.

Xoom and Skype

Anyone else having problems with Skype?
I have a wifi Xoom with 3.2 stock software and recently installed Skype. When I first start a call I see my video but when they answer I hear nothing and the video disappears.

I've used skype a few times on my tablet, I've never had a problem with the video, the video seems to be the only thing that works pretty flawlessly for me. In all honestly I think the app its self has the problems and its not the xoom/software on the xoom.
The issues i've had mostly deal with my Bluetooth headset and skype. Sometimes it will send ringing to the headset, then it'll disconnect from the headset and put the actual call through the speakers, sometimes It wont even go that far. Once it actually let me complete a call with the headset but that only happened once. The other issue I had was Skype didn't want to let me accept a call from one of my friends. I could send calls but not accept. So I think the app its self is just borked.

Hello
Skype works fine till you update it from the market. This update seems to mess it up for alot of people myself included. You need to uninstall it and find a previous version and side load that.

Hello all,
Seen a few discussions after a quick google with skype, as I've been having problems with skype too! Video just drops as soon as I start a conversation. I've put it down to the app, as the same thing happened on my HTC Sensation!
Hopefully it'll resolve with an update! Fingers crossed!

It's the latest update that breaks it. Try using the one I've attached to this post.
Had to attach it as ZIP since the APK is over 8MB. Just unzip and install the APK.

How do you install an APK?

After you've downloaded it, use a file manager (like file expert) to navigate to download in sdcard (your internal storage) and inside of the download folder, find the file you want to install, and then click on it. You should be given a choice to install apk or run package installer, choose whatever will install and you're go to go.

And don't forget to ignore updates until a new one comes along.
I hope everyone that's had issues has left a negative review on the market....

Thanks for this, I had the same issue. Installed the APK above. It gave me an error saying I needed to reinstall, but I let it uninstall itself, then went back in to EZ installer and installed it again and it was fine :S
If it has a keylogger I will hunt you down etc etc ...

Wonderful I will try installing this work around. Thanks guys, bought the xoom for xmas present for my wife to skype her brother and family in South Africa and video calls with Skype app would not work. Xoom itself is great quality bit of kit.
