Yes Virginia, there are unicorns!

It may well be that Taiwan is the first country to get the 32GB. I hope we're not guinea pigs being led to the slaughter! But I do hope all the main bugs with the screen, pink spot, and Wifi have been fixed in this new hardware revision.

An hour ago I was told by the Samsung store here in Taichung, who I'm 99% certain have good intel, say there is a show in Taipei from 7/28-8/1 where the 32GB is being sold, this very second, through a Chunghwa exclusive contract. They said it was a 32GB SAMOLED/Exynos/Mali.

With that info I trundled down to the main office of Chunghwa Telecom, the gov't owned wireline provider, and best wireless carrier. They took a NT$2300 ($US80 approx) deposit from me, and said I was 4th in line to get a 32GB, which they were told would start arriving on August 5th. The cash price is going to be NT$22490, which is NT$2000 more than the 16GB.

I will update you when I get it in my grubby paws, but I'm excited that the process is happening and I may well be the first XDA-er to have one.

Hi,

is there a way to exclude apps from autorotation

My launcher has a seperate option, so that's OK but a lot of apps don't and in some cases it's annoying when it switches to landscape by accident

anyone any ideas?

cheers

[Desire General] Meaple:
If its not in the app settings then just disable it altogether

[Desire General] bbilko:
Tasker can do this very easily
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Any chance you could explain how?
[Desire General] daniel.mitran:
My Settings are:

By default disable autorotate

Tasker Profile:

- App needs landscape

- context : various apps (PocketCloud/LastFM/etc)

- task: Auto Rotate ON

- action: Display -> Display Rotation -> Set On

- exit task: Auto Rotate Off

- action: Display -> Display Rotation -> Set Off

[Desire General] tnat:
a very simple method is using the free "Smart Rotator". There you can enable the apps which you want to allow to rotate. Works perfect for me!

Easiest way to do it is through ROM Manager from the market.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griffith500:
Hi,

I am new to the NOOK and just upgraded to stock v1.2.

I also created a 2GB SD card with CM7 v7.0 and installed the GAPPS upgrade. Everything works perfectly so far and thank you for all the great work everyone put in to not only figuring this out but also documenting the way to install it.

To improve on it: My wife likes the stock ROM and I like CM7 - from what I read there is a better way of dealing with that than pulling the SD card; i.e. install dual boot. I was searching and reading about this but got overwhelmed with all the info and updates.

Could someone point me in the right direction where I could read about installing/upgrading to [CM7 v7.0.2 + dual-boot + OC Kernel]? I don't mind starting with the card from scratch and mostly need the order of things I need to do. I would like to keep EMMC stock for now and install in SD.

Thank you in advance for your help

That allows the micro usb to put out more voltage to support more usb storage devices that require more than the 100v of power that it puts out by default?
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
It's impossible, it's an electronical limit, the device can't do it physicaly, that's all, sorry ^^
[Gen8 General] iflip:
So will a powered usb hub work for that type of thing?
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
Yes, it will.
[Gen8 General] iflip:
Great. But does the powered hub have to be the type that needs an a/c adapter or can it be a self powered hub? Sorry to be a nuisance with the questions.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
a bus powered hub wouldn't make any sense, would it? how should it get more power than the device can deliver by it's physical limits? :p

so answer is clear: No, only

powered

(yes, the ones with own batteries or A/C adapter) hubs will do the job.
[Gen8 General] eagleofdeath13:
I think he was talking about battery powered hub, and i think it could work ^^
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Hehe, I can't believe nobody made a joke about saying 100v instead of 100mA.

Anyways, you could also splice 5v into your usb cable, either from a wall wart or from batteries, but if using batteries, I'd use a lithium ion pack and a boost converter, something like a Texas Instruments TPS55065QPWPRQ1.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
Yeah dude, very funny joke... :rolleyes::p
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Sorry, I thought I was in the company of nerds here. ;)
[Gen8 General] Mr. Clown:
Thread moved to proper forum as not development
[Gen8 General] iflip:
100mah yea my bad.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Lol, no problem. I mix things up all the time. I was just surprised someone hadn't jumped on you for it. But for the record, mA, not mAh. mAh is milliamp-hours, which refers to a batteries capacity, not the amount of current being consumed.

Okay, gotta get the OCD in check and stop correcting people now. :D

Seriously though, it wouldn't be hard to splice some power into a usb cable. Just slice through the outer sheath, melt a section of the sheathing off the red and black wires, and solder on a 5v wall adapter. Maybe a diode to shunt current only to the drive and not the archos, probably not necessary though.

To use batteries, you'll probably need to regulate the voltage. Most usb MCUs only accept about 4.5v to 6v, so 4 AA batteries(1.5Ah/6v) being drawn at ~400mA would probably sag under 4.5v pretty quickly. Thus, you'd need lithium ion, but you can only get them at 3.7 or 7.2 volts, meaning it would need to be voltage (and amperage) regulated.

Maybe there's enough demand for me to build a prototype and have it produced? It would probably run $40-60 USD if mass produced, but you could build one at home for $20 if you have a spare usb cable.
[Gen8 General] iflip:
Hey msticninja

Are there any links to detailed online instructions on how to build that setup? I really need this. (it would help me earn extra cash)
[Gen8 General] wartstew:
I just ordered one of these:

tinyurl.com/3mzzzz5

in hopes to deal with the above problem. It claims to have a built-in battery (in other ads for this product), but unsure of it's capacity (700 mA perhaps). Reading between the lines on other poorly translated ads it claims to be able to power a hard drive (a 2.5" laptop drive I'm assuming). It also comes with a boat-load of adapters to all kinds of small devices, so I figure it might be useful elsewhere if it doesn't work out for this.

Anyway when I get it, I'll report back on how well it works.
[Gen8 General] iflip:
Thanks. It looks promising. And if our works I'm definitely gonna get one.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
That's the general idea, but the hub may need drivers that android doesn't have, and don't expect much from the solar cell. I'm guessing less than 100mA in bright sun, but it'll be interesting to see. A 2.5 inch drive should be able to power off the host USB, but if you connect two through that hub, I doubt you'll be able to get a good spin up.

Iflip: This is basically what you want to build: http://www.ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/

You would just need to add another usb port connected directly to the pins of the port he's using to charge from. The "minty charger" would supply the extra mA, and the data pins would connect straight through the two usb ports into the Archos, so you wouldn't have to worry about drivers or anything.

Basically, if you can find any USB charger, and add another port to it, so both the archos and the hard drive can be plugged into the same charger, you'd be golden.(As long as you connect the data pins on both together) You could even add a port to an old Ipod wall charger, anything that provides power to usb devices. You just have to add another port to it, matching the 4 pins, which is easy. +5v to +5v, ground to ground, data + to data +, and data - to data -. I think you get the picture.
[Gen8 General] sibere:
Yes there is.

A very bad a simple hack can provide more than 100mA to the USB port.

I had 1 usb key working and others not working due to this limitation. This got me really upset!

I've search the kernel sources, hacked quickly the kernel, build a new one, flashed it on my A70S running UrukDroid 1.0, and voila! My key is now working (with a 200mA limit on the port instead of 100mA)

Here is the kernel/initramfs for UrukDroid 1.0 build with $auron kernel sources (1.1b3 kernel).

It has Cgroups with cpuacct based on UID grouping (like HTC does on the Desire), but the rest is pretty much standard and is build with $auron's settings.

Flash it with SDE.

Don't blame me tho if you toast your USB port! It's working for me with a USB key, it may not with a USB hdd. I've set the limit to 200mA and not 500.
[Gen8 General] sibere:
Are you 100% sure? I'm getting apparently more than 100mA out of my USB to power my greedy USB flash disk :)
[Gen8 General] wartstew:
Cheap battery powered USB hub worked with my A70S

So I bought a DTech DT-4012 from tmart.com and it [mostly] worked with my A70s!

It is a cheap solar & battery powered USB hub.

It powered a USB mouse and keyboard just fine. This is real handy especially when you are trying to use the A70 with an external display through the HDMI an HDMI cable. I get a normal mouse pointer and a functional keyboard.

It even powered a 2.5" laptop hard drive, but only for about a minute or two, enough time for at least my A70S so mount the file system, but not much more.

Of course it powered less power hungry things like USB "thumb" drives and card readers fine too, this included ones that the A70 could not power by itself.

The thing contains a [small] 700mA Li-ion battery and a voltage converter that produces a steady 5V out the USB ports for as long as it can. It is possible that the short run time for the hard drive could be an overheating problem with the voltage converter that might be solvable with an addition of a small heat sink. It is also possible that I don't have a full charge on the battery yet (although it claimed it did as the "charging light" went out), but this was the units first time use so the battery might just need some cycling. I'll investigate all these ideas further.

The unit does NOT have a connector for external power but I'm thinking of adding one so I can plug in AC adatpers and/or larger battery packs. This is assuming this is what is needed to get reasonable life running a 2.5" hard drive.

Oh and on the solar cell: I don't expect much power from the approx 2" diameter cell, it would probaby charge a small mobile phone about 1/2 way if you left it out in the sun all day. It is probably more useful as a trickle-float charger for the internal battery as in average ambient light might keep the battery topped off as it is being stored.

Finally the thing comes with all kinds of USB adapter cables for mostly older mobile phones. Could be useful to some.

[ROM] 26/04 | NickK's battery efficient CM7 | "Love Your Battery again" | 1.2 |

Hi all!!

Here I present you MY customized ROM based on the CyanogenMod 7 stable 7.0.2 release! On this ROM it's all about the battery!

What have i changed/done?

- NO 2 second call delay here!

- Battery Tweaks

- Zipaligned (for better RAM Usage)

- Replaced the kernel with ManU's 1.4 HAVS AXI CFS 128Mhz kernel

- Removed some useless apps wich are in the market :)

- Removed the slow ADW Launcher and replaced it with GO Launcher EX

- Removed Dev Tools

- Removed CMWallpapers

- More stuff I dont remember :rolleyes:

- Replaced the boot animation :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Flash?

​

1.

Download this radio and flash via fastboot: 5.14.05.17

PLEASE DONT FLASH THE NEW 5.17 RADIO AS IT WILL BREAK YOUR CAMERA APP!

2.

Create an EXT3 partition on your SDcard with CWM 3.x.x.x

3.

Put the Zip on your SDcard and perform a FULL wipe!

4.

Flash the zip via recovery.

5.

(optional) Flash the latest GAPPS.

Link

6.

Boot and enjoy :)

ROM Link: 1.2 (latest)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tips to get the most out of your battery:

​

- DONT PLAY GAMES TOO MUCH (or at least no 3D) ghehe:rolleyes:

- Disable "Auto-Sync" and "background data" In settings menu

- Stop all running services you dont need: Settings >> Applications >> Running services

- Disable Data Roaming

- Enable GSM Auto (PRL): Go in the Dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#* Press phone information and enable GSM Auto (PRL) This will help alot to save your battery:) BUT on some carriers it will set your connection to 2G.. I can confirm that on vodafone your connection will present 3G or H.. If it converts to 2G, then set it WCDMA preffered :)

- Reduce the screen brightness

- Disable GPS and "My Location service"

- Disable Your data connection if you're not using it

- Disable Audible tones in Settings >> Sound

- Disable Auto-brightness

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changelog:​

- 1.2 Inital release

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have ANY questions/bugs/problems, please post hem below:)

And dont forget, all credits will go to CyanogenMod, ManU and to everyone who helped to make it possible:)

mmm... some steps don't make sense. I mean, disabling the GPS for instance. You are practically asking us to transform our smartphone into a non-smartphone...

The idea is good, but the battery tips aren't for everyone.
[Desire Android Development] markrs:
I add the manu kernal to gingervillian at the moment and use go launcher so nice to see a rom with both already in.
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
Well I mean if you dont use it ghehe ;)

Because some people just leave it on and on.. yea that will quickly drain your battery.

[Desire Android Development] dipje:
Setting GSM Auto PRL disables 3g in a lot of countries, right?

GPS can be left on safely because it's only used when starting a precise-location app (like Google Maps). All those weather-widgets and such don't use the GPS.

Disabling data-connection when not in use... well that way how do you get your notifications for Gmail, Google Talk, WhatsApp, etc... ?

If you turn your smartphone into an olddumbphone, then yeah it will give you great battery. Ofcourse, this kinda defeats the purpose of having a Desire, isn't it?

Not talking and / or playing games is the best battery saving tip I can give :). All those different ROMs and kernels don't matter much to be honest. They can reduce the power usage if you don't use your phone (idle in your pocket) a bit, sure... but if you use your phone they're all the same :).
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
Setting your phone to GSM Auto (PRL) is hard to explain, but it WILL keep your 3G data connection.

Thanks for the game tip;) will add it.

And its just a tip eh ;), if you always got synchronizing on, then i'll advise you not to disable.. but like me, i never have these services running so i just disable the connection:)

Cheers,
[Desire Android Development] dipje:
Well, it doesn't do here :). I have data, but only 2g (old style gprs).

Sometimes the 3g icon appears near the Belgian border, but no H for the ultrafast that I pay for :).

Wonder what Vodaphone does differently. But back in the time when we were porting the Hero ROM's to 2.1 before HTC does we had huge battery draining issues, and someone was spreading around that all should use GSM PRL to fix it.

A long thread of flaming cut short: It's not a fix but a trick do disable a lot of the newer functionality in your cell phone with 3g networks. On some it switches back to 2g (and you could just 'disable 3g' to get the same battery saving effect) and on some 3g was still possible so it helped.

Just saying, take care with that option if you want mobile speed. It's not always so simple as it's on your network :)
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
Hmm weird, ive got Vodafone and i got it on GSM PRL and i stil have my H connection.. So it depends on your carrier :confused:.

But i will edit the main page :)

I've built this theme from pieces found in other mods. I'm not a designer nor a developer but I like to personalise what I'm using.

Also, I truly like the stock gingerbread look so, I've tried over the last few weeks various combinations of colours and images in the framework and applications. Because I really like how everything came out and maybe I'm not the only one liking stock stuff, I thought to share it.

The main credits are going to Ock and Darkyy because I've used mainly elements from their work.

This theme will NOT be maintained over time and I welcome anyone who think that certain things can be improved, to modify it accordingly. Of course, the obvious bugs will be corrected as it will be found or indicated.

The theme is tested on a deodexed JVB rom so I wouldn't recommend trying it on any other rom.

This theme has:

- AOSP lock screen only

- CRT screen off animation

- Green glowing overscroll

- lockscreen, phone and clock are sharing the same style for the interactive buttons (for unlocking, answering phone and turning off alarms)

- clean battery stats (no percentage)

- gingerbread launcher included

The theme is CWM3 flashable .. but please mount in advance the /system partition (from the mounts and storage cwm menu).

I personally use ADW launcher with gingerbread look and I've used the icons from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870691

Enjoy (or not :) ) ...

http://www.multiupload.com/S0F8AY5VKJ

If someone wants I can provide the framework with the percentage over the battery (but will no longer look stock-like).
