I don't know am I lucky or something.

Story: I manually update from 2.3.3 (with supercurio kernel) to stock 2.3.4.

OH NO!!! Low contrast comes back.

I tried some method to root the phone in order to use ROM manager (clockworkmod) but I got no success, but I did an experiment to flash the kernel using adb (I flash netarchy kernel extracted from this package http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936219 ) with the following command:

cd\

cd (your adb tools location)

fastboot flash boot netarchy.img (make sure you copied the kernel to that directory to avoid hassle)

After that, I tried to run superoneclick 1.9.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 again using GingerBreak and this time it's working!!! (I was prompted to install busybox during root process).

After I restarted the phone, it's really rooted (I can use ROM manager and Root Explorer) and I run ROM manager again to flash clockworkmod and reboot to recovery. I picked this package to flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949292 (get stock 2.3.4 version).

When you are in recovery, choose install zip package and MAKE SURE YOU TOGGLE SIGNATURE CHECK to bypass, and flash the James Bond kernel as well as other drivers.

Now my NS got "old color/contrast" and rooted. YAY!!!

Will this work on my Nexus S running 2.3.4? About Phone Info shows the following:

Baseband Version = i9020XXKD1

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-ge382d80

android-build@apa28 #1

Build number = GRj22

The boot loader is already unlocked.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
It should work with i9020 as well. The only difference is for T-Mobile US (as long as 3G is 900/AWS/2100).
[Nexus S General] nxt:
It's funny, I didn't like the fixed colors Google did to the Nexus S in 2.3.3 and higher but oh well and I got used to it... Then I was trying out some kernels (netcharty, etc.. that has "fixed" colors)...and it was back to the old way before Google fixed it.... and man holy cow, it's horrible. I can clearly see now how people were saying the original Nexus S colors were REALLY BLUE. heh.

I use Qik. It seems to be the only correctly working video call/chat app.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mscott998:
Try Tango. it works flawlesly and allows you to video chat with your friends that cant pry that Iphone BS from their hands :-)

I'm looking for something that would work with my google talk contacts.

"Vtok" does that, and video works, but there are 2 problems:

- Low quality sound and video, no way to change that

- Doesn't recognize front camera on Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kcab87:
if you've actually tried Tango on the Infuse then you would know that the orientation of the screen is wrong.

Use Qik Video Connect.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
They sent me a new version of Fring, based on the files I sent, and...

...still uses the wrong camera. I replied with the results. Maybe they'll get it right next time.

Have you tried Tango. I use it on my Atrix abdominal can video call my iPhone friends
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Its working now, you can change the build.prop file. (/system/build.prop)

Change the line ro.product.model=samsung SGH-i997 to

ro.product.model=SGH-T959V (no samsung in front) then reboot
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
Just to clarify, this is for Fring, on the Infuse?

(sorry to seem like a ****, but the thread has gone in a bunch of directions since it was started)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
This is Infuse thread why are you asking.

Yes tango, ooVoo, and fring will work now, dont know why thise app dev didn't know how to do this lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wuufer001:
Do i need to root or d/load an app do change that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblues1969:
I was asking because of your signature - just wanted to make sure you were talking about the I997.

This is a setting for the phone you are talking about changing, not for the individual app?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kornklown69:
It has to do with changing the build prop which you can think of as changing the skeletal features of the phone lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Yes it tricks the app that your phone is a sgh-t959v so it is supported. I don't know why the Dev can't even fix it. And i find some other apps that is not supported on the infuse seems to work.

I'm trying to play some WMA files on my microSD card, but I can't add those folders to PowerAMP. Any way around this, or any other apps that can?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cky2000:
I don't use it , but I just tried PowerAMP Trail and no I could not see /Removable either. You should email the developer and let him know. It was the same thing with a "fresh" install of Quickpic 1.1.3. I emailed him and in less then 4 hours he had a fix :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Guys,

I contacted PowerAmp through the built-in feature and got reply within less than 24h. They sent me a new build of the app (380) and the Removable/MicroSD is now supported. However, I asked them again to add the Removable/SD directory for people who want to use the dock SD card.

I'll let you know if I can post the link to the apk or if they will make it an official update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Max from PowerAMP is still working on including all removable media (/MicroSD and /SD) and will have an update in the market shortly. Apparently he does not want the beta build to leak so we all have to be patient!

My Quickpic 1.1.3 doesn't see video from removable card?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cky2000:
I'm not sure if he updated it on the market yet. He sent me (and others) a version to try. The version number was the same,1.1.3. I see videos and pix on my /Removable with the version he sent me. All my vidz are .mp4's if that makes any difference.

I'll test the one on the market when I get home.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cky2000:
No :( He didn't updated it on the market yet. 1.1.2 did let you pick /Removable. 1.1.2 was a little difficult (for me) to find. I found it in rom on here some place.

EDIT: I don't know if you want too, but 1.1.2 was inside this rom "pinpongs-rom1.3.zip" and the installer name was "com.alensw.PicFolder-1.apk". I tend to do things the hard way lolol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
Got word from the PowerAMP dev this morning that he will post the update in the market today. However, to complicate things, I sent him info about the mounts when both USB ports have devices attached and both card slots are occupied as well :D All they need to do really is to add /Removable and sub-directories to the selectable media.

:cool:

I stopped using poweramp for this reason, I have just installed it again as I am a Full version user, and I can confirm that its working with microsd card support. The only thing I'm now disappointed with is the notification. When you use the built built music player you see that there is music playing, you click and then you are given buttons skip prev and pause/play.

i think im gonna email the developer and see if he can do that.

When i install Music.apk it always fails. I tried copying it to the /system/apps using Root Explorer but it doesnt shows up.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] josinpaul:
it may require flashing...i am not sure.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] p509explorer:
Did you try installing from the sdcard? Click on the apk file and the Root Explorer should ask if you want to install the file. I have had some installs work that way and some not work. I am a beginner also, sorry if this doesn't work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
First, mount /system as rw from root explorer (there's a button in top right corner). Then copy and paste the file to /system/app. Now, tap and hold on the pasted file and select permissions. Change the permissions to: User-read,write Group-read Others-read. Then mount /system as ro using the same button in top right corner and reboot the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duelmaster30:
Hi,

My Inspire is now stuck in a cm7 bootloop after I messed up flasing cm7 to it, and I can't boot into recovery now. I take out the battery and restart it with power + vol- down, but it just loads back into the bootloop and there is no way for me to access any recoveries or the main screen. Is there any way I can completely reset my phone from my computer? It seems like that is my last resort now, so if that is possible I would be completely willing to start over from the beginning with rooting and flashing. Any help is appreciated.

Also, my volume rocker has not been working for the past few hours, and I have no idea if it was broken originally (I doubt that) or if it was broken after a bad root or something. This is the main reason I need to reset it from my computer.

Also, my phone is not being recognized by my computer when I plug it in. The more I think about it the more I realize that I'm probably screwed, so any advice to the contrary would make me love you forever.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
try with the power cord attached, holding the volume up,power on until the red led starts flashing, then remove the battery put the battery back in, press the power button. for me this got it into recovery. good luck
[HTC Inspire 4G] Duelmaster30:
Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. At this point I'm just looking for a way to reset it from my computer and start completely over. I don't care about any data or apps I had on there, and I don't even care about the root I had. If anyone knows ANY way to reset my phone back to factory settings (or if AT&T does this) please tell me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
If you vant get your computer to recognize your phone then you cant restore.

Some att stores can do it, but remember you have voided your warranty.

What recovery version are you using? If its an older version then you can plug the phone in while it is off, and it will boot into recovery.

How long have pulled the battery for?

Recovery is volume DOWN plus power for 5 seconds, bootloader its volume up plus power...

Try putting CM7 or any other ROM on your SD card via your computer, using a card reader. Then boot into recovery (volume down plus power), wipe data/cache/Davlik, then install from zip. That should get you up and running.
[EVO 4G General] shermhead:
So I would like the latest and greatest, but seems like so many roms being released in dev forum are missing a lot of functionality or broken. The only rom that I ever kept and still am using is called "Koni's Elite" something. Is there a sense 3 rom that has gps,4g,sprint hotspot, gapps etc etc all working? Why do people even release broken stuff in the first place.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
The Elite 3 is sweet he is coming out with a Elite 4 be4 long. The latest rom's aren't really broken they are built off the latest OTA leak and some other leaks. So it's all for eye candy and something new for people to mess with.

Until sprint does the OTA update the latest roms that are built off leaks are buggy. They are waiting on sprints OTA to get all the info and fix all the bugs that are in the builds so until then they are just working with what they have.

Try kings rom or CM7 there nice. The Devs do what people wanna have and see and have. They want more eye candy something new even if it's broken or buggy. So there working pretty hard to keep things going.

No there is no sense 3.0 that is out or anything that is built off it that isn't bug free yet.

Hope this helps PM me if you want to know of some other roms that not buggy and are nice.
[EVO 4G General] popper668:
CM7 is all you need...........
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
CM7 is great to use waiting till they fix most of the bugs or till the next stable build comes out. If you use CM7 keep it update they had to fix a security issue with the older builds. This is a sweet rom tho. Nice clean.

King's rom out of this world is fast decent battery life.

Virus rom's are nice.

Myn's Warm Point 2.2 is sweet

Mik's Rom is fast and looks great.

Really? These people put in their free time without pay DEVELOPING rom's to work on our phones. That is why it is called development. They release it to us "broken" so we can test it and help them in the development, and because it is fun for us. If it is that much of an inconvenience for you then either don't flash it or develop a ROM yourself that is bug free. These guys work around the clock to try to bring you the latest ROM/leak free of bugs. It is not as easy as you might think. :rolleyes:

USB-host on Flyer

hi guys!

any news on this topic?

as there is already tmp root achieved and permanent root on s-off flyers, has anybody already tried to implement usb host functionality now?

I believe to have heard, that Honeycomb should support USB-host functionality automatically... Do we need to wait for 3.2, or could we get it earlier?

I'd really appreciate this (as I am also owning a DSLR from Canon), and would be willing to donate.

I'm actually working on a direct DSLR app using USB host, a preview of which should hopefully be released by the end of the week (alpha, not beta).

I'm mentioning this because it works on the Galaxy S2 with 2.3.4. I've not been able to get it to work on the Galaxy S1 with 2.3.4, but it just goes to show, it may not be 100% necessary to be running HC 3.1 to support it (as evidenced by the SGS2).

What kind of connection cable does the HTC Flyer have ? Micro USB ? If so, I'd advise to give the test app a spin when I release it if you happen to have a USB host cable.

Either way, the chips themselves have supported it for years and years, that's not the issue. Kernel and framework support and such is the problem.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alf261173:

yes, the flyer got a micro usb port.

I also happen to have the correct usb host cable (micro usb to usb-female...), so as soon as your software is out, I would give it a try.

please keep us informed, thx!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Test with a card reader or ext hd (powered) plugged to your cable and see if you get a new drive through a file explorer... The kernel will definitely need to support this functionality, or the fstab may need to be modified.

Indeed if you have a micro usb cable already, connect a usb stick, see if anything happens... that should tell you straight up.
