Androidboot.com image streaming on XDA

Hey guys, not sure if you know that images hosted on imageshack don't stream on the XDA mobile app. I've sent a request for this to be sorted but I doubt I'll get a reply.

I'd suggest using Androidboot.com http://www.androidboot.com/. Their server's a bit slow when you first put your stuff up, but it's pretty ok after that.. and it's free :) Plus they're dedicated to image streaming for forums like XDA.. so images show up on the mobile apps.

Anyone know why the screen density you set (either using LCD Density or modifying build.prop directly) doesn't keep when rebooting? TIA
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lcsglvr:
What do you think the optimal density is and does it make a noticeable difference?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Deleted member 5132789:
I like 140 - makes the screen look very nice and smooth. All apps seem to run fine, with the "stretch apps" fix.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jase33:
what "stretch apps" fix do you mean? are you talking about messing with the manifest file the .apk file?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BrokenPixel:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Deleted member 5132789:
Sorry, I couldn't remember before... spare parts is the name of the app you need to install. Then, go in there and set Compatibility Mode disabled - reboot. This stretches apps that run in less than full screen.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jase33:
Have had that running. Does not work on all apps though. I thought maybe I missed something new. Thanks though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacezo:
So I'm confused as to how the warranty works for the mytouch. I've read a few things about the t mobile warranty but looked in the handbook that came with the phone and it said that there was no such warranty. How long are the htc and tmobile warranties and which do you think is easier to claim? I read that the t mobile one allowed you to keep your phone which would be preferable. Btw I'm trying to replace my phone because there is dust under the screen. Thanks for any information.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knothead:
HTC charges freight one way and turns warenty work in a week or so. T-Mobile is an online claim Co. They charge 75 if you don't return the phone, least that's what they told me when I swapped out my wife's g1 for a g2 after she dropped it and broke the screen. There was also s 100 dollar deductible for the swap but it beats a new contract ...

Hi all, checking how many tmo nexus s users are experiencing the same thing.

It does work well over wifi. But if I'm out using 3G, I'll never get the video call. Hopefully they'll work to get this fixed.

T-Mobile is busy saying that they are the "Fastest 4G network" but they are absolutely horrid here in Greensboro, NC after moving down here from NY.

Very good application for our terminals give a major security utility. This application allows us to notify a person of our contact list automatically without any intervention by the user, if we had an accident, which is detected by sensors in our phones to detect the fall and then sends an email or sms with the date, time and position.

I find different uses, for my father, for cyclists who go out alone in the mountains, for those who go on a bike and we're afraid of being stranded on the road if we suffer an accident, in this case the application would send the notice, although we we were in ratios on the road and most importantly would send at the same time of the accident

Does it mean it sends off a text message with your location when the gyroscope detects a sudden change in velocity?
[Android Apps and Games] androiddroids:

if it detects a crash checks for 1 minute that there is no motion, to detect false alarms, also used for this gyroscope, magnetic field meter and accelerometer.

If after this analysis there is no movement sends an email or sms with our position.

There is a simple way to check the operation, give a strong movement to your hand and then leave it on a table and still 60 seconds the screen will alarm if not deactivated send email or sms.

And then if we repeat the same motion for 60 seconds and continuously move or change your position check that the alarm will not fire:D

Factory reset removes most of the data files and brings to it back to default.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazimojo:
The factory reset after the installation of DJ's ROM will just remove any apps/settings etc that were carried over from your factory install but will leave the new ROM other wise intact.

And yeah to do the factory reset is just a matter of holding both Volume buttons along with the power button while powering on the machine from an OFF state . Select factory reset with the volume rocker then hit the camera button.

my lappie which is a

Windows Vista 32 bit

it is not detecting the APX mentioned in the thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Now I am fixed in a reboot loop and I have tried everything suggested in this thread

OK I know I had no business doing this because I dont know the D of developing....

but the TNT Lite worked so well and was so easy to install I got carried away by it and tried to install the amd to let my computer detect the gtab. this is where I got stuck!!

to start from the beginning

I installed TNT lite on my GTab and it worked really well, I could see Youtube videos and access the Android market

Then I thought I should maybe transfer a few files to the Gtab so I could view them, but when I tried to do that I found out it was another long process, Normally being a non developer I would have probably just tried to find out a non hacking method to do this like download it from gmail or something. Or just use an SD card

But it had been so easy to install the alternate ROM from instructions in this forum I thought maybe it wouldnt be a big issue..sad!!

It was!

Now my one day old GTab wont start up and if it does it just keeps displaying a weird kind of screen with squares on it which I am assuming is the reboot screen

And so I tried to use Nvflash to restore it like mentioned in the thread above but my lappie wont detect it at all..

So now I really need help before I attempt anything else on my own

I dont want to send my Tablet back and would appreciate any help from experienced developers like you guys...!

Please do help me :( :( and I promise never to attempt something like this again..!!

First, I think you need to breathe. Patience is a virtue. *NOTHING* about being excited will help. So calm down first, then go.

Did you install the drivers listed on that page?

Here's a direct link:

http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/SystemUSB.zip

Getting them to install can be a bit tricky, though, since it's not an executable. Download it, unzip it, go into the Flash USB folder, go into the USB folder, right click on the nvidiausb.inf file, and select install. That *should* install the driver. However, it might not. If it doesn't, post back and say what happened.

And as far as transferring files - there's no need to hack to do that. Just connect via USB, pull down the USB attachment notification on your tablet, and say connect. Then drag and drop on the computer. Done.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvvccc:
Thanks, I think I did forget to breathe..:)

It says " the inf file you selected does not support this method of install"
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedlogan42:
Alright. Crap. I forgot that happened to me too when I had to do it.

I think I had to install it via using Device Manager. Here's how you can get to it in Vista (I'm about to sleep, so I'm saving typing time):

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Open-Device-Manager

Once you've got that open, go ahead and boot the tablet into APX mode, meaning that from a powered-off state, you'll hold down the power and volume - buttons simultaneously until your G-Tab comes up and the goes back to a black screen (words stolen from the original NVflash post).

Connect it to your computer (while Device Manager is opened). When you connect it, you should see a new device appear that is labeled Unknown Device. Right click on it, and select Properties. Click the Driver tab (may be different - I'm on 7, but I think it's the same). Click the Update Driver button. Choose the "browse my computer for driver software." Using the browse function, point it to the folder with the inf in it (%wherever_you_extracted_it%\System USB\Flash USB\USB). Click Next.

I think that's what I had to do on mine when I borked my tablet with an experimental build of Vegan Ginger. If the driver installs, that should allow you to then go on with the rest of the directions. If it doesn't, post more information. I can't promise I'll be on any time soon, but maybe someone else can help out if they're up.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvvccc:
ok it says at the end when I have pointed it at the driver file (NVidiaUsb.inf)

"The folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver make sure that it is designed to work with windows for 32 bit systems."

This is what happened last time also, and then the system says that I already have the most compatible driver for the system and puts me on "Microsoft WPD filesystem volume driver"

EDIT: I should mention that I also had a tough time deleting my NVidia driver, but as soon as it was deleted, it was automatically replaced by the "Microsoft WPD filesystem volume driver"
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedlogan42:
Not sure what to tell you. The INF clearly points to the x86 version, so it should install. Is there more than one unknown device in your device manager? If so, you might somehow have the wrong one, though the approach earlier should have made it easier to track the new one.

Sorry. You might want to try getting on IRC to see if other people have some bright ideas. An NVFlash does seem like what you need to do, though.

EDIT: I did some digging into the forums (you should probably continue that). Here's a thread all about these drivers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012009&highlight=NVFlash+USB+Driver+Solution

If those fail, there's another method that involves installing the entire SDK, which is linked on this thread (the second post about the MSI):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882814

However, my impression is that that option might create more complexity than it's worth.

I haven't done anything but what I explained earlier (if I remember right - it's been a while), so I can't talk about any other approach. However, these will at least maybe make my failure into less of a dead end.
