may i ask how you manage to fix the error and extract the boot.img-ramdisk.gz? i'm also in windows and I always get the error " not in gz format". I'm using cygwin, already installed all perl, gzip, and cpio packages. thanks..

Can someone tell me if you have successfully installed it. I`ve changed to build prop in order for the phone to think I have opengl 2.0 but still the shell just crashes at start without error message
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] zexcrazy:
There is same thread few posts below yours.

Answer to your question is no. It is clearly said that it needs phone with GPU and gles 2.0 and our phone doesnt have either of those two.

That is completely not true because a friend of mine is running it on the stock rom but it is laggy

I hope this isn't a duplicate thread. I used the search feature but couldn't find any answer to this particular ereader feature...

I'm looking for an ereader that will split pages when in landscape and also has the page turning animation. Obvoiusly, the google books app has the features... but, as has been mentioned in another thread, you can sideload books into the app.

I've tried aldiko, moon+, and laputa, but none of them do these things.....

Any clues? Just another early adoption issue?
[Xoom General] _RTFM_:
Nook reader. No night mode though :(
[Xoom General] guitarwizard:
Doh! I feel like an idiot for not trying the nook application! Thanks though. This looks perfect!
[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
... but if Iam not mistaken you can't side load books in the nook app either. I can't remember if cool reader has these features although I remember it having some cool ones (not all of which I could get to work though :( ) still maybe its worth checking out.

Its far from perfect but its another option that is available at present. hopefully a honeycomb optimized app will show up soon.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
So where do you get books from on the standard reader if they can't be sideloaded?

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Xoom General] appelflap:
I believe that readers that use Adobe DRM management will use a folder called "Digital Editions" on the internal or external SD card. Many readers do. You can always sideload books by putting them in this folder.

Btw can someone post the Nook Reader apk. For some reason it isn't available on the market in Europe. Thanks.
[Xoom General] guitarwizard:
For the nook app, the folder is called "my documents" so yes, side loading is not only possible, but very easy.

As far as the APk, just google search nook for android and it will take you to the B&N.
[Xoom General] appelflap:
Great! so it is possible to side load books.

I've searched yesterday on the internet but couldn't find it. The B&N site gives a pointer to the Android market. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nook-for-android/379002287/

[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
Hey,

So I'm making an app that needs to display a bitmap or raw (something where X/Y pixels can be modified, so no compression like a jpg).

There's an Activity which contains only an ImageView, I get the Bitmap from the bundle given in the callback from the camera (it's put into the intent before the Activity starts), then I set it to the ImageView in onCreate of this new Activity (which is basically only an ImageView).

For some reason, when viewing this Activity, the picture is of EXTREMELY low quality. Like, tons of jaggies, like it's a thumbnail or something and is force-scaled up to the screen size. The image isn't really like this, though, when I view it in my gallery it's crystal clear. So why is the quality being dragged down to all hell when I set it in the ImageView? I don't care about the performance constraints, this isn't a production app.

I feel there's some quality control function in the ImageView or something, but I have no idea what. Can somebody tell me the "why" or the "fix" - plzzzz - I'm on a really truncated time schedule and haven't had much luck with this camera for too long :(.

TIA
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
what other info does the camera intent return, what extras?
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
How do I check?

I used somebody else's tutorial to learn that the URI is in the 'data' of the bundle.

I tried checking earlier by using its to-string, but that just gave me the container size.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
you probably have the URI to the thumbnail

Post the tutorial you used and some code, shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
There's like upteen thousand tutorials that I compiled to make what I have.

I have no "links" anymore.

I got the Intent from the camera in the onActivityResult function after calling the camera. I pulled the bundle from it using the getExtras() function on the intent.

I then passed that intent to the new Intent I made to create my second Activity. I passed it via the putExtras function on the new intent.

In essence, I did;

Intent in = new Intent();
in.putExtras(incoming_intent_from_camera.getExtras());

And then called my second Activity.

In the onCreate() function of my second Activity, I pull the bitmap data using:

Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)getIntent().getExtras().get("data");

There are two things in this Bundle, data (a Bitmap (android.graphics.Bitmap)) and a bitmap-data, which is a boolean.

EDIT:

Yes, it is definitely the URI to the thumbnail, I need the large image URI.
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
I have a feeling the problem is that it needs the EXTRA_OPTION string, the only issue is, I don't want to save this any place in particular. I'll let the camera save it to the default location on my SDCard. I just want the URI to that full size or something usable.

I can't do:

intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OPTION, <URI>);

Because I don't have nor want an additional URI to store it... I got to get EXTRA_OPTION to the camera somehow..
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
Okay, so here's the deal, that apparently nobody was able to help me with (:():

- Like alostpacket said, the "data" key in the bundle returned from the camera activity (in the callback) contains the URI to the thumbnail - that's useless unless I'm making an icon or some other small/tiny/low res picture.

I was correct in the fact that it had something to do with putting the EXTRA_OPTION into the extras that I passed off to the camera intent.

This DID come at a price, though. You have to make a temporary place to store the image (you know, because the regular one in the gallery just isn't good enough of or something). And by temporary I kind of mean permanent, it gets overwritten every time (assuming you use the same path), but won't get removed. I am unable to understand this functionality. If somebody could explain it that would be great.

So all in all my intent to the camera looks like this:

image_path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/tmp_image.jpg";
File img = new File (image_path);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(img);

Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, uri);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICTURE_REQUEST);

Where image_path is a private class String and PICTURE_REQUEST is a final String (also class level scope) - which can represent any non-0 number, but is unique to the request (think of it as a request ID).

Then, in the callback function, after checking to make sure the request code is PICTURE_REQUEST, and the resultCode was OK:

Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image_path);
img_view.setImageBitmap(bmp);
img_view.invalidate();

Where image_path is (a String) wherever the image specified as an extra to the camera activity, img_view is an ImageView display element. The invalidate method will redraw the ImageView.

I hope that helps somebody else stuck in the same position I am.

I'm going to leave this question as "unresolved" because there's one thing I still can't figure out. The "EXTRA_OUTPUT" extra passed to the intent seems like a work-around. All that does is define an alternate path to write the file to, then the callback (or whatever) grabs it from there. It's a hack and a half. There has to be a legit way to grab the full quality image taken with the camera. Whether that's accessing the gallery intent or not I'm not sure, but this is definitely a work around. I hope somebody can provide the answer to that, because a lot of tutorials mention the EXTRA_OUTPUT method, and given what it does, I don't believe that is correct.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bountygiver:
Sense is a framework that requires alot of work to be ported into a rom, it's unlike other launchers which is in apk form and can be installed. So the only way to have a sense rom is to make a sense rom available to your device not make sense available on a rom...

Yes is it eclair? Or froyo 2.1 or 2.2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

He must root though.

He has to root, and install the clockwork recovery, then using clockwork recovery flash a kernel WITH VOODOO and then hes done.

Make sure to flash the correct kernels per firmware.

like..

most of the kernels you see on dev section are for 2.2+

2.1 kernels are on a thread made by supercurio about VOODOO kernels, im on a phone and cannot search so i'll leave it to you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kovernm:
Hi I looked to see if anyone else posted about this and I couldn't find one like this. I have an evo that I have rooted. I still have the 8gb sd card. After I rooted my phone I still had about 6gb left on my sd card. After I flashed Mikfroyo 4.5, reinstalled all my apps and and put most of my games on my sd card, like I had before I flashed mikfroyo I had about 4gb left on my sdcard. Yesterday I flashed a new rom on my phone, installed most of the apps that I had, and put the same amount of apps on my sd card it went down to under 2gb. I don't see triple the amount of folders on my sd card. Does anyone know why it shows up like this or at least how to free up some room? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Have you been deleting the ROMs from your SD card after you flash them? Each Sense rom is roughly 180-200mb. It adds up. Also, if you have been creating Nandroid backups, they too will take up a lot Space, and you need to shuffle through them and delete the old ones. Nandroid backups add up quick. I don't store my apps on the SD card, so don't know much about it, but what method are you using to do so, and are you sure they're not doubling up? I'd be more suspicious of an excess amount of nandroid backups and roms on the sd card though. It doesn't take much to fill up that stock 8gb card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
i agree you should check how many nadroid backups you have on your card, they take a lot of room, i usually move them from my phone to my pc and only leave the last one on my phone, plus they are safer on the computer. also all the zip files you use to flash roms can be moved from the sd card to the computer, once used you dont need them on the root of your sd card anymore they just waste space, i would also recommend upgrading to a 16gb sd card ebay has them for like 20 to 30 bucks and save you the trouble of worrying about memory. to move files from one sd card to another you just connect phone to pc as disk drive open my pc and right click on the drive that represents your phone, go to folder options and in views, select view hidden files. once that is done just copy all inside the sd card to a folder on your pc. then you unplug from the computer, turn off phone replace old sd with new, turn on your phone go to settings storage and unmount the sd card then format it. the plug it to your pc again in disk drive open the folder where you put all the info from the old sd and copy all that to the drive your phone represents and hit yes when it says if you like to copy and replace some files, then you are done new sd and twice the memory cv

For those of you that want to use the external sd card on /mnt/sdcard so you can have more space for apps2sd try this.

Try at your own risk.

1. download http://pastebin.com/34AeL00L and rename to vold.fstab

2. open up terminal and navigate to the location of that file

3.

adb remount
adb push vold.fstab /etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot

It worked for me, however i am not sure it will work for everybody because i dont know if the vold.fstab is created dynamically.

I would appreciate it if you could:
