[Q] 2.2 is completely crap: more bugs than beneftis... - Streak 5 General

I downloaded 2.2 yesterday (i live in Germany and it said Update is available):
1. Enter m.pafnet.de in you normal browser (then you see what one should see: the mobile version of that site) and enter it in your offical 2.2 browser (then you see something else: the normal version of the site?!?)
Why does that happen? Why cant i see the mobile version, though I enter the URL for the mobile version!
2. Do i really have to enter settings to switch on and off 3G and Wifi? 1.6 was much better here!
3. Some dialouges are really slow. E.g. try to choose Widget or a Stage Widget or a Background on the home screen. The list doesn´t scroll fluently. It´s strange! Much too slow!
4. Parts of the german settings are English (e.g. Wifi Tethering or "schedule data connection"), why the heck? Too lazy too translate it all?

2- ye, i agree, i loved the way u could turn on and off the wireless stuff on 1.6, here the fastest way i found is to use a widget, like the power control widget that i think comes with the update, or switchpro or extended controls from the market
3- if u use the performance fix u won't have that problem anymore

You can create s shortcut to the old popup menu so you are still able to access the data on off switch...
I created it from the launcher add activity shortcut but the same thing could probably be done from anycut...

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.

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.

About YouTube: when the video starts, go to options and select normal quality

Can someone explain the UI? launcher pro?

i received my SGS yesturday, never used or really looked at the android platform before as ive been on WM on my Xperia x1 for the last 18months, bloody contracts!
i would love someone to explain how the ROMs, UIs etc work on android, seems different from my WM device where i was using custom roms the whole time.
Can you change the UI without flashing etc, so still been warranty intact and that?
So my SGS has samsungs UI? what does android default look like? ive had a little look around but not found much
thanks in advance
EDIT:
found that you can change the launcher via market apps
cant find any vids etc on the latests versions on youtube, guess ill download and see. Do i need another app to switch back to samsung default (touchwiz?)
LauncherPro Beta 0.6.7 latest everyone has?

I posted a video on youtube running Launcher Pro, the latest version will be the one you download from the market. There's another really good launcher called ADW launcher. (they are both free)

If you set another home app as the default you'll need to go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > (whichever home app it is) > Clear defaults. Next time you hit the home button you'll get asked which you want to use.
Have fun!
I use "Home switcher" from the Market. Pretty handy...

[Q] Change Launcher?

Hi guys, the flipout is now very cheap indeed in the UK (it's around £50 with Orange PAYG). I managed to lose my previous phone under a train and so I've been looking at this.
Is it worth picking up this phone? I gather from looking at the posts that it can be unlocked and rooted.
Some (noob) questions:
1) Can the phone be unlocked for free? Can it be done by debranding it?
2) Can you install a different launcher? A search on the forum doesn't say anything about changing the launcher.
3) Can you get rid of Motoblur? i've never used it but it sounds ****.
Thanks in advance guys
1. dont know!
2. Launcher Pro is very nice. many thinks can be changed and its very fast!
3. dont try the motoblur free versions of the flipout..there are many bugs with connection and akku standby! i have the italian rom installed with the update of 1.19.2 and i ignored motoblur. i have deleted all widget with motoblur and use the widget of the launcher pro which can also connect to facebook, twitter...and in my opinion your contacts will be clean..if you use motoblur it will add facevook contacts to your normal conntacts...
Yeah, LauncherPro and ADW work perfectly for me, just make sure to delete all of Motoblur's widgets and ****. Juicedefender Ultimate helps as well, for saving battery.
I got some issue with Launch pro.
When I press home button to return from some apps, the screen turn black and the status bar rotate to the side of the screen, and after probably 300ms, it turns back.
Not a big issue, but pretty annoy. Using ADW launcher without any issue. Much smoother than the stock launcher.
I'm back to the stock Launcher. My problem was that with any other Launcher, from time to time a process called "android.process.acore" would start eating cpu.

Could you explain a bit more? What are the problems? I have the moto free firmware installed. Problems I heard about are
1. something about not using all channels, which can be solved by modifying a file on /system/etc
2. Whenever you install a new firmware, the battery meter gets out of sync and need to be reset. There is an app on the market for doing that.
Are these the problems you are referring to, or are there others?
Thanks!
@ ghostwheel
ya, these are the problems! and you´re right..it can be fixed. i only wanted to say that you can use the original firmeware without motoblur by ignoring it. so you dont have to fix anything and you can use the 1.19.2 update. sry for my bad english =/

Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

Hi,

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....
use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.

Update: try PPP Widget 2 (Google Play) if you have driver issues.
==================================================================
I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500. (It should run on other tablets as well, of course.)
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.
Changes include:
full network access should work properly on 4.1 devices now
improved robustness on several custom ROMs
Edit: Version 1.00 is now available at Google Play.
Changes include:
No more fixed path to SD card folder
Username and password are no longer mandatory
Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..
Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.

I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.
supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.
Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I didn't do anything thank the OP , I just confirmed that it works on my custom roms.
Some info for app builder.
Sometimes I need to remove the widget from home screen , go back to Widgets and replace it on my home screen .
If not I get crash message , ppp widget stopped.
I tried lots of tool but finally arrived to easytether pro

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...
Superb APP..Will die for it

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...
If you have anything to show (screen shot?) you can PM me.

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.
for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

in my opinion using stop ril-daemon and start ril-daemon will do the trick.

No it won't I tested that.
Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)
although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).
Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......
eagerly waiting for a more stable version from you...
