[XPERIA X10 General] Nigeriax10holland:
What is hd1080 mode guys?

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
It's widescreen, and the pics are amazing quality.

Ever since the new camera upgrade for 2.2 it's been a new selection. I find it fantastic
[XPERIA X10 General] Nigeriax10holland:
Wasnt it available in stock rom, wvga or something?

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] bbsrailfan:
Wow how did you get such vibrant colors? I am using stock 2.1 (435) rom and all my greens and yellows are washed out - i get a bluish tinted image....tinkering with white balance does no good either :mad:
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Dude, all it is is wide screen. The quality is even lower than the 6mp wide mode.

Trust me, look at the compression on that mode.

Stick with 8mp mode
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Well my pics look way better in 1080 mode, so much that I've been getting comments on how good they are. The focus on the 8mp has been terrible, pics look pretty bad. I compared modes and the 1080hd is much better
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Ok, now your making me wanna check this again. I really didn't put alot of time in it. Im gonna compare that against vignette 16:9 mode which is outstanding.
[XPERIA X10 General] blondprod:
photo make with big sunshine @ south of france :D

I uploaded this image on facebook and now downloaded from there,but if you see the colors,they can be much better.it was in macro mode ,stock 2.1, taken in paris jardin
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Just did about 10 picture tests between Vignettes 16:9 wide screen vs the 1080hd.

And clearly without a doubt Vignette was superior.

Anyways, if it works for you thats all that matters.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
I use 16:9 widescreen on vignette. It is awesome, compared to new 1080hd which I stopped using straight away. The quality is just not there.
[XPERIA X10 General] blondprod:
Très jolie fleur :)
[XPERIA X10 General] kunalgahlot:
c'est le printemps :) :)
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I'm not using vignette though, maybe that's the diff. I'll have to try it out

[HD Mini General] a2453:
Hi all,

Mind is someone could guide me on how to launch the SPB keyboard that I have installed in my mini ? Its ver 4.2.1 and I just could not use it as my default keyboard and the same old HTC keyboard is still around. . . Do I need to do up the registrys or what?:confused:
[HD Mini General] codiak:
Hold the keyboard softkey for 3 seconds and a menu will appear. There you can choose the keyboard.
[HD Mini General] a2453:
Thanks, reinstalled and things went well.

Hi stumbled upon this site through sheer chance after finding out no more android updates for the x10 mini pro.I am a total newbie and apologise in advance if these have already been asked before but what is the latest version of android available that you guys have managed to make a rom for? is it fully working? what will i suffer when/if i install it apart from voiding my warranty is there an easy way of doing this i.e downloading and/or installing? and the costs .

many thanks in advance and once again apologies if all asked before.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HenrietteK:
Being an almost total newbie myself I'll give you an answer you're not going to like :-)

You'll have to do a bit of home work before asking questions. Take a look at all the stickies in the four X10 mini forums. Read the references, google the words you don't understand and then read some more.

After that you ask questions :-)

Hi there,

I've installed Bionix v 1.3.1, and mostly like it, besides the theme.

I wanted to know where can I find Samsung Vibrant's original theme which came with the phone, or if there's a way to revert to it?

[Android Software Development] weldmongi:
Hello everybody,

I 'm a novice in the android world (after an experience in WM dev) and i m trying some GUi examples with 2.3 android SDK.

So my questio is: I found so many apps that has a great look and a very nice GUI. Are they using the library provided with the SDK? or are they using their owns libraries?

are there some librairies (open source or not) availbles for android GUI dev?(Something like Flex I mean).

Thank you very much,

weldmongi
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
I'd say 95% of what you're seeing is apps using Androids GUI code and theming/skinning the components. (The exception is basically games that use an engine to run and do their GUI in the engine).

The theme system in Android is generally quite flexible however there are a few areas that it is lacking/inflexible. So sometimes you have to set graphics in the layout xml because the theme system just wont change something (I'm looking at you, AlertDialog).

It is also something that's a bit hard to wrap your mind around at first but there are quite a few tutorials out there that are pretty helpful. Just google "Android theme dev" etc. Nevertheless this is one of my biggest criticisms of Google/Android. They basically invented a non-sensical syntax for theming.

Hi there ...

Any ideas about fully supporting arabic font on T-Mobile G2 - virtuous 1.0.1 rom with advanced kernel ...

Thanks in advance for any assistance ....
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
Hello,

Since this morning my phone doesn't see any media files. My sdcard is mounted and I can see all the files inside with a file manager. But when I open a media player it is telling me that there are no media files. Also in the ringtone menu I cannot see my custom ringtones which showed up fine until this morning. The same thing is happening in the gallery - no photos.

I tried restarting the phone - nothing happens. I have a program called rescan media, used it but still nothing. A have a nandroid backup from a week ago - I restored the backup, went into the default media player that comes with the stock rom, my albums were there, and then 2 minutes later i checked again - no music found. If I take a new picture with the camera and go to gallery I see only that new picture without my older ones, after a media rescan even this new photo disappears.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Check to see if you have a folder named ".nomedia" in your sdcard - this is used to control if a directory and it's subdirectories are visible in the media player.
[Desire HD General] xTremePower:
Same for me,

Gallery dont found anything, but filemanager see everithing

I tried to change the SD, to un/reinstall gallery, update my CM7 rom, wipe cache but alwaysthe same problem...

When I use filemanager to open a picture, gallery load it in about 8seconds but cant see the other pics
[Desire HD General] CyberTod:
Yes I had this .nomedia file in the root folder of my sdcard. I've read about this file and I know that it does that. But the most strange thing is I didn't create it :) It is dated from yesterday at 00:23. This has to be the work of some app.

Thank you for the help the problem is solved. And greetings from Bulgaria.
[Desire HD General] zirajatt:
Unmount and mount again in the setting and hope it solve ur problem
[Desire HD General] xTremePower:
thanks a lot :)

I un/re mounted SD in settings, and remouved the .nomedia file on sd root (don't know who created it....)

and my pictures are came back :)

thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Stevez48:
Quite the thorough walk through. Nice job!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmcclure937:
Looks like a nice walk-through. ;)

I may suggest including all of your steps for configuring the SDK and then simply referencing the official root guide... because if that would get updated then you would have old instructions on this thread. :eek:

It is not that hard for people to type the ./ in front of every command...

Alternatively (and recommended), you could provide a more thorough guide and include instructions on adding the SDK platform-tools directory to the PATH environment variable. Once this is added, the user can use adb whenever they want, they do not have to change directories to the SDK! This also allow for using the command without needing the leading ./
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
I knew people would come in who knew something... You both are right. The problem I was having was the same many of my friends and people on here were having, they kept getting a -bash: adb: command not found. I am working on fixing my .bash_profile, but until I get that fixed, this tutorial is the best I've got.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
I am excited try try this, thank you so much for writing this up. I get very confused doing these things the first time and didn't realize you could do this on mac by adding the prefix in the commands. So, now that I know that, I am hoping to try it!

One question.....and this is a total newbie question, sorry..... In the steps that have several commands like this one:

Should the commands all be ran individually, or all at the same time just on their own lines? Like, can I just copy all six commands and paste them in just like this then hit enter? Or do I need to run them all one at a time?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jayhammy:
You hit enter after each of those commands.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jayhammy:
I'm AMAZED at how well this went! I'd been avoiding ADB on windows, plus avoiding all the 1-click options as they didn't work correctly on VMWare/WinXp on my Mac Pro. So, I saw this post and decided to take the leap.

THANK YOU!!!! My device is now rooted and working flawlessly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
Nice write up, I completely avoided the whole ADB setup subject, due to a lack of mac/windows knowledge. Glad the community can come through.

Can you please paste in my warnings, full credits and links to the GPL (this part if very important to us) sources if you are going to base this on our stuff. Just take them from the original post please.

~jcase
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
I ALWAYS had to put the

./

before adb so it would be "./adb" for anything that started with adb. I see you missed it a couple times and that concerns me. I followed the original tut by jcase and put ./adb instead of plain adb and everything worked perfect. Just my 2¢. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
I really didn't realize until today that I could just as easily perform a manual root on a mac as a windows machine. So, I am trying to learn about this, been doing a bunch of reading. I am interested in what you are mentioning about adding SDK platform-tools directory to the PATH environment. On a mac, what environment should I be using? I am a little confused about the options listed on the Andorid Developer website. It seems Eclipse is what everything is all about primarily, but I have no clue which one to use. Perhaps I ought to just not worry about all that right now and just follow these steps to root my TB? I'm not really after doing anything other than rooting and flashing ROMs, so is it really necessary to set all that up?

Regarding the ./ Are you saying that we need to use that in front of these commands even though it's not listed in the steps?

adb reboot bootloader

adb shell

Other than that, the steps in this post work, right? I have everything downloaded and got as far as getting ADB, but I don't want to go any further if this isn't really as comprehensive as its made out to be.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xCHPx:
Yes otherwise i don't believe it will work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
Wow! I really didn't think this would get quite as much attention. I think I need to do some more solid work and clean this up a bit. Now, for the individual responses:

@Gadsden: You're very welcome. I kept thinking, this is impossible! But, with a little Red Hat experience and some awesome google skills, I got this.

@Jayhammy: You're welcome man. Enjoy!

@jcase: Of course I can. I never really thought this would gain so many views. There aren't words to explain how psyched I am to see you talking directly to me... lol, I will give full credit to everyone, as soon as I post this :P

@xCHPx: I posted this after a long night, with no sleep. I knew I would miss something. The cool thing about that is if you copy and pasted the command without ./ in front of it, it would simply not run. There is really no way to mess this up.

@gadsden (pt.2): Hypothetically speaking, you don't need to do ANYTHING other than what I've listed. If you decide to start developing themes, apps, etc. you'd have to worry about eclipse. I made a mistake on the two things listed there, every adb command must have ./ in front of it. I simply overlooked it when typing this up. There was a lot of stuff to be typed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djcyph:
thanks for the walk-through!

i have 2 quick questions...

for say like this step:

ur hitting enter after shell correct? the /data/... doesnt need a program command like ./adb before it correct? same with all other lines with no ./adb in front of them?

also for this:

im assuming ROM Manager is in market like Super User but i dont know what flash the Thunderbolt recovery means...could u explain that?

Thanks again!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
yeah, I'll explain that in the post but also here. ROM Manager is a program available in the market. If you go to the market and type it in, you'll see it. It's a top hat with a gear behind it.

After you install ROM Manager, You need to touch the first item in the screen, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you will be good. I am going to update that now in the OP.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
Funny, I had the same exact question. I posted it in the jcase discussion and got the answer there. Definitely put that in the OP, because first timers don't know these things!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
Fixed it, I overlooked it. I guess I assumed that everyone knew what ROM Manager was... lol. I've been rooting since the Droid 1, so I've always been around people who know these things. Sorry for not clarifying though, I hope my new updated post is more concrete.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bmcclure937:
You can add the path of the SDK to your $PATH variable. This allows you to run ADB from any directory and not need the ./ in front of every single command.

From terminal, do the following:

ls -la

You should see a file called ".bash-profile within your home directory.

Edit this file and add the path of your SDK to the $PATH variable.

nano .bash-profile

Familiarize yourself with editing files in nano if you have not done this before. It is very simple. Once you have edited and saved the file... run this last command to check if the PATH variable now contains the new path.

echo $PATH

If you get lost or confused... Google is your friend! There is a lot of info on editing the PATH environment variable.

*Please Note* this is not needed for the guide but it does allow you to run ADB from any directory... and without leading ./ in front of all commands.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] want a droid:
Thanks for this. I'm going to go to lunch and then get into this. How long did it take everyone to go through this?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
I've set my path up, and it works when I want it to... but this is easier to do (imho) without getting too far into command line. If I feel I could streamline this by doing such, then I will do so.

edit: And now it is broken again... back to troubleshooting... not quite sure wth I did...

@want a droid: The thing that will take the longest is downloading the files needed. Everything else will take you all of 30 minutes at most.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] djcyph:
thanks man!

yea im coming from a BB so new to this stuff...i have a PC and im doing long way to learn...doesnt seem hard, simple terminal commands but just want to get everything rights...soon as i do it once, ill be good to go and help out others like u guys
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
Thanks for sharing that. I did do some searching and found several different sources, but they weren't all the same so I didn't know which ones I could trust. I need to look around some more like you said.

One another note, I started the process of rooting my TB a few hours ago and I am a little stuck on step 6. (I posted in the jcase discussion, but haven't received a reply yet, sorry for double posting but I'm stuck!) I flashed the custom RUU PG05IMG.zip and pushed the power button to reboot. It turned off the phone, but never rebooted. I waited at least 5 minutes and it never came back on. So, I turned it on myself. It booted up normally. What I am wondering is, does that mean there was a problem? Should I continue or should I flash it again?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
I'm by no means a pro at this, but once you push the custom RUU, you simply ./adb reboot bootloader. You'll come to the bootloader screen and it will do the rest for you (you need to confirm upgrade).

make sure your md5sum's check out as well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
All the md5sums were correct. After the flash was complete, it said "update completed", just like the first flash. Then, I selected reboot by pushing the power button and it just turned off instead of rebooting. I wanna just proceed, but I'm not about to put myself in a worse situation, at least I have a working phone right now. Flashing again sounds good to me, but I really don't know what I'm doing enough to know if that is safe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
If it didn't flash, then it didn't flash. If the md5sum's are correct, you have nothing to worry about. Just try again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] srleadjb:
I've got adb but when I input "./adb push psneuter /data/local/" I get "cannot stat 'psneuter': No such file or directory"

I've tried everything but I'm stuck. Cant even get this going. Any help. I've googled, watched you tube videos and still no go.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
But that's the thing, it said "update completed" and was ready for reboot. The only thing it didn't do is reboot. The flash looked like it worked. I just don't know how to confirm it. Should I just reflash again? Like you said, it can't hurt, right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
I mentioned in my guide to put all of the files from the exploit.zip into the platform-tools folder. If you extract the contents of that zip there, it should work. What is happening on your end is there isn't anything for adb to push, and that's why it isn't working.

If you decide you don't want to do that, you need to tell terminal where the file is:

ie: if it is still in your download folder, it should look something like this:

./adb push /Users/username/downloads/exploits/psneuter /data/local/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
Yeah, if your md5sum's are correct you have nothing to fear. It may have hiccuped. You can push busybox, psneuter and wpthis until your face turns blue. As long as those sums are correct, you have nothing to fear.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
Ok, I'm flashing it again. Is it normal for the bootloader to say:

loading....PG05DIAG.zip

not found

loading....PG05DIAG.nbh

not found

loading...PG05IMG.zip

Then it loads the .zip

Edit to add: It didn't reboot again. I'm scared to go forward because of it, I might go back a step and make sure everything is ok.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
lolwut I talk all day to everyone.

Thx for writeup
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
Ok, I just noticed something else during the flash. When it says Parsing sd zip, item [7] TP results are "bypassed" Is that a problem, or is it normal?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
lol, it's like this one time, I received a message from myn and I freaked out. You devs are awesome.

@gadsden: sorry man, I have NO idea. You might have to find someone more versed in this. Head to irc.andirc.net, type a username into the first field and #thunderbolt into the next.

I recommend to start all over again and see if that helps. But then again, I really don't know much... lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
I got another hiccup. I'm on step 7 and this happens. when ADB should have restarted, nothing happened. So, I tried to push everything over again and the next time I got an operation failure. Do I need to go back further to start a step over?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gadsden:
Ok, I feel like I'm clogging the works here. I'll try moving over to the jcase discussion and see if I can figure it out there. Thanks for the help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
Try running it as root. Type sudo -s, then enter your password. CD back to platform tools and try again. Other than that, I have no idea.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Cmotion:
Great write-up! Helpful to noobs like me who've never used adb before (I had an Eris before this and used the wonderful 1-click method). I am stuck very early on, trying to get adb. So I downloaded the SDK, went into tools, double-clicked on "android" next to the readme file, and it says: "There is no default application specified to open the document "android". And then I can either Cancel or Choose Application. I'm not really sure what to do here. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] srleadjb:
Thanks so much! Done and rooted!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
It should open with terminal. I've never seen that before, try choose application and go to terminal. You can even just drag android to a terminal window.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] IISiDeK1CKII:
Glad I could help! It's alot easier than people think, especially laid out like this.
