Yes, it automatically saves.
But you will need to zoom in if u want a closer view. Else if navigating, it zooms in, then you're screwed. lol.

You need GPS to turn on when using Brut, else how will it locate your position?

You lose app and system settings, e.g homescreen settings.
SDcard data retains.

Take your time to read through V1,V2 and here. Or do a search button.
There are so many FW and some are slight different.

Try not to PM me for something that can be answered here or is searchable.

he already mentioned that app not working for him
did u unzip the firmware file first?
if yes,then read the FAQ

Reboot the phone after setting the wallpaper.
Sometimes it gets stuck. I had mine not work before, but after a restart, the wallpaper switched.

Without really saying what has been done/hasn't been tried yet, it's quite hard to pin point a problem.

It's like saying my car can't start, but not saying much else.

i still do not understand the .nomedia file extension to disable media scanning.

Any bro here using this way to avoid folder scanning?

I don';t want to show xx folder in my external sd card. Inside xx, there is 100 files of jpeg. what should i do next?

I put xx.nomedia in external sd card, it doesnt' work. But i think i totally wrong.

Kindly advise

put a "." infront of the folder you want to hide, try this.

im not really fancy about task killer..i can live with current performance but i just feel this lagfix kinda overrated..at least for me
this lagfix crash some of my widgets for no reason..i need to add and set back the settings..
*
Lagfix best if only done after a fresh FW flash.

And it's not some magic bullet, it only acts as a buffer, so it won't keep reading the internal SD card and causing lag.

Any lag that is not caused by the read/write on the SD card won't have any performance enhancement with the lagfix.

not xx.nomedia, create a file name .nomedia in the folder which you dont want those stuff to show in ur gallery or music player
try autokiller with aggressive settings, it greatly improves my phone

I realised ATK doesn't really do much for me.

using minfree manager is better for my experience.

In v2, I wrote a workaround. If 64 bit drivers not working for you. Use the method I posted there.
I won't repeat it here.

Yeah, Larry and Sergei say not to use Task Killer for android. And the generally consensus seems to be against using task killers. This ain't WinMo. anyways, I personally don't use task killers - I prefer to rely on Android to manage the memory. So far, so good.

About the widgets, I'm facing weird behavior too, most notably failing to update. I'm using ADW launcher, so I'll be moving my homescreen back to TW3.0 and see whether it's an ADW problem or a lagfix problem.
That sounds about right. It's no magic bullet. Things are still gonna stutter and spurt if your widgets are in the midst of downloading data or the processor is getting taxed for some reason.  nod.gif
43c idle is not normal behaviour. You sure you don't have some rogue widget/app that's either chewing up CPU cycles or making active data connections?
Yes, a fw flash wipes out your personal info, settings and apps+data. Photos and music are left untouched. Normal behavior here. Did you not read the FAQs before flashing?  unsure.gif
*
I run TW3.0, lagfix, minfreemanager set at aggressive, but tweaked to custom for the first 3 parameters.

It works better than without the minfreemanager as the low mem kill level for empty app is 46mb or 48mb, I increased it to 96 and it does it me better performance.

And yes, if widgets are downloading, it will still be choppy. But with lagfix, the choppiness significantly reduced.

Either you update/sync your contact to kies or to google before you flash. Else say byebye to ur contacts.

Apps and contacts, once u upgrade firmware.
Go to market and it will show u ur previously installed apps and u can install them again.

For contacts, export them as someone has said here and save it to ur internal SD card.

it's not an option and it only works on the first time u enter market after u flash.

After u flash, go to "download" and all ur previously downloaded apps are listed there.
Just download all, then only close the market app. Else u lose the link.

I think the GPS thing is overhyped. Apparently GPS issues are mainly for US customers?

Cause I really don't have an issue with GPS even with various firmwares.
I get satellite lock quite fast, less than 1 minute often.

Unless I'm missing out on something that everyone else is noticing.

did you use gps status or use it with a navigation software?

some say if gps status, ya it is fast, if with navi software, slow,

and if you use A-gps (gps + internet) = slow

pure gps = fast

i dont know how true is it, cause i cant find any gps software that didnt use data.

Noted, I will try again later.


Added on August 17, 2010, 4:03 amBtw, has anyone every managed to configure the back button on any home screen to revert back to default home (i.e page 1)?
Or maybe a long press on back on any home screen to go back to 1?
Sometimes i feel it's a bit more ergonomic that way.
