Anyone have any news or info on when Panda home will be stable for the android 2.0? I've been using 1.61 for the past two days, and I absolutely love it. But I have to keep reloading themes every 5 minutes. It has some major stability issues for me. Now that I've used it, I absolutely hate the default home.

I have installed and used Panda Home for awhile now. I have heard that you can use other home replacement apps (OpenHome and aHome) themes with Panda Home. I have downloaded a few Home themes and moved the zip file onto my sdcard. Panda Home doesnt seem to recognize them or have the ability to open them. How do I install other themes using Panda Home?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was directed here by a VZW rep (he said this was the best place to go to get android help). I was wondering if anyone with knowledge of panda home could help me out with switching application icons on the home screen. I try to change it through the standard methods and I'm using a .png file, which I thought was the required filetype, but I get a message that says "applying..." but nothing happens. I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas. I've heard of an app called bettercut, but it seems silly to pay for an app when in theory, I already have the needed feature installed. Also, if anyone knows of where one could find a good picture for a messaging icon (to replace hand set)

Would love if Panda Home would worked, but even with the new version I'm still getting the screwy scrambled screen for icons / if you change the wallpaper. Is this just my phone or are other people also still have trouble with Panda Home?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have heard many people talk about the Panda Home app giving more than the normal 3 home pages. It may just be slow, but when I download it I still only have 3 and all that changes is the themes.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded Panda so the I can use a theme it works with. It works fine and I am always giving a chance to use Panda or HTC Sense when I hit the home key. This is a pain so I opted to use the HTC Sense as default. But I can't see where it allows me to use the Panda again. I can't figure out how to get those 2 choices back. Except for deleting Panda and reinstalling it. Am I missing something? And is there a way to flip between the choices another way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt the moment i own an apple iphone 4 jailbroken, and i had some issues with the device's hardware since 2 years ago, so im thinking of selling it and get a new phone, BUT i DONT want to go at apple again, so 4S is not an option for me.
i searched a bit and im interested into Samsung Galaxy S III
About its hardware is a top end phone atm, but im a bit feared about the Android os because ive heard some bad things from friends users of lower end android phones. so im refering at you guys who own and use SGS3 with normal and rooted os to advice me about its stability over time and usage on apps
So my final question is, SGS3 with Android 4.0.4 ICS stock or rooted, did you have any problems with it? laggs on menus/apps over time of usage or crashes or reboots etc?
Cause with iphone 4 and ios jailbroken i had it for 2 years and i never encountered a single error or crash and never had to format it to stock firmware due to problem except when i was updating versions of ios.
I cant download with panda app it just shows it is downloading but it stays at 0% .

Then tried the stress test in dx/d2 app and it failed. So I put it stock and it still gals after maybe 6 or so passes. I installed stability test and it fails after a short run stock too. Did I F it up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere's been a lot of talk amongst the group regarding Android 2.1. It's now been (kinda-sorta) out for about a month, and many of you have had a chance to thoroughly examine it and see what it can do, and how well it works.
I'm still at CL14, and I plan to wait until the official release (whenever that finally ends up happening).
Of all of the new bells and whistles, fixes, etc., my top priority is radio stability. For those testing 2.1, do you find the phone to be more stable? Does CDMA still lock up and force you to reboot, or has that finally been fixed?
Will probably regret saying this but I am very impressed with the stability of this phone. It never crashes, rarely slows down and I have never had to reset it. In fact, I only turned it off the other day because it had been up for about 300 hours and I thought I better refresh everything.
The only errors I have ever received were a couple of "some process has stopped running", but upon clicking okay everything kept on working and I assume the phone simply restarted the failed process.
It seems like the 8mp camera is very sensitive to just a little bit of camera shake, is there any way around this? I don't see an option for stability control at all?

Then the early 2.2 build came out and I loaded it with CM updater and it worked fine. However apps crash often and the phone seems sluggish. I want to flash to the newest release... thing is I don't know where to start.I don't mind loosing all the apps and contacts since I have everything backed up. I just want a completely clean 2.2 flash.Any idea of where to start? I saw the thread that talked about upgrading but since i'm already on 2.2 I dont know what to do.
View 11 Replies View RelatedSo i was looking around the market at all the camera apps out there. I know i might have to end up paying for one to get what i want. I'm mostly looking for an app that'll help with image stability (anti-shake, etc) and maybe something to press besides the trackball to take a pic. That's so awkward for me.
A lot of my pics are coming out blurry, whether i have good lighting or not, because i don't have a very steady hand.
how do i change my default launcher from panda hoo somthing else?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI gave the update a chance, for something like a week. Finally put Panda back. I had hoped that the update might make it worth it.
I have no idea what the update was really supposed to do in terms of performance but it's been a zero sum game. I don't give a flaming politician about live wallpaper or exploding gallery icons.
I like Panda's pull-outs that go across all desktops and the alphabetical pull-up. The stock phone is really lacking in terms of app organization. Photo organization too.
I have had my Droid for about two weeks now. While searching for a new home application I accidentally downloaded the Panda home Blue Chrome theme. I have spent a couple of hours trying to delete the theme from my Droid but cannot seem to find where it was downloaded to on my phone. It is not under the application manager. Anyone had any success in deleting a theme from your home.

1) When listening to audio (panda) Nav cuts out the music and speaks it's direction extremely louder than music was playing. Anyone know if there is a seperate setting for the Nav's volume?
2) When listening to panda and I receive a call, panda goes silent but there is no ringtone. at first i thought panda was buffering but when i looked down at the phone I had an incoming call. Normal? Did I dumb thumb something?
I don't think it would be a big problem when it is in the car dock but I haven't used it. On the windshield it's too far away and my car doesn't have any flat surfaces close to the driver. Last thing, with this setup phone call audio comes through the car speakers and with phone on the passenger seat my caller said the call clarity was better than my last phone.
I'm new to both xda and android rooting. I just want to know what's the different between Kernel and ROM? Do you need to flash to the latest Kernel to increase stability while running a certain custom ROM? I'm just a bit confused between these two and what their function
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy wife and are are hoping to update phones soon. I am going to go with Android. We are on AT&T, so iPhone is a possibility too.
My wife currently is on a WinMo device (LG Incite), and it has been stable, but more difficult than she really is comfortable with.
She wants to see what I settle on with Android, and wants to consider same, but also would be happy with iPhone.
Her main use of the phone will be:
Phone use (of course)
Blue Tooth to car
Google sync to calendar, hers in particluar, and maybe mine too
The calendar synch is her only motivating reason for a smart phone. Given that motivation, and some of the cool Google based apps out there (and coming, I'm sure), I have a tendency to want her on the Android.
But of course, Android is still pretty fresh. I don't want to encourage her to Android if it is going to be an experience of lockups, reboots and frustration. Of course enven needing to do that once a week will result in frustration to her.
My thoughts are that if we are careful to only install a small number of Apps that have good feedback will be the best method to assure that.

I successfully replace the long press on MENU button with this code:
CODE:..........
and this part part for the long press:
CODE:.............
But the problem is that I wasn't able to replace the KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU with KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME
Is that something locked in the code that avoid user to use a Home long press?
Whenever I am using any app and press the home button, the home screen blacks out for a few secs and it takes around 10 sec to get all the icons back and before I can start using my phone again. I am using a non rooted mytouch 3g.
This problem does not happen if I exit an app by pressing the back button. It becomes very annoying at times.
