I'm using a Motorola Atrix 4G - it'd be nice if there was a way to control the white balance (or like another poster suggested have a calibration).

I don't think I can get a screenshot. It happens right when you take the picture. The picture appears for a second, stretched in an odd way, then resizes to normal and the processing message comes up. It's too quick to get a screenshot.

Another nice feature I thought of would be to have the option of the app setting your screen brightness to 100% on startup. Would give you better color reproduction. Not sure if it's needed, but it's something to consider.
[Android Apps and Games] Epiktetus:
Great work, have you considered adding flash control? I tried it in my dark office and the colors were of course very dark. I tried using TeslaLED to manually enable flash, but LifeDropper just FC'd. Turned the flash off and LifeDropper worked again. 100% repeatable. This is what I get:

"The application LifeDropper (process com.adamcarruthers.lifedropper) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
@k4p741nkrunch I like that idea a lot! I'm definitely adding that to my list!

@FatherStorm I've noticed that too, testing it on a Viewsonic G-tablet. I'll be looking into what's causing this, it does the same with other apps as well, and I'm concerned it's a thing to do with the Surface that the camera is using.

@gthing consider it...considered! :)

@Epiktetus I'm already looking into implementing camera flash toggling. I got you covered :)
[Android Apps and Games] Epiktetus:
Sweet, this will be a really helpful app for me. Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] C4m3r0n:
This is a VERY usefull app. It is working well on my Droid X though I have not tried all of the options yet. But I do have a few suggestions.

1. I agree with the previous poster about adjusting the size of the window based on the number of pixels settings.

2. I assume that you are averaging across the window to get the final color. If so, it would be nice to have a secondary window placed in one of the corners which shows the averaged color if you can update it in real time.

3. An additional feature that would be very handy would be to allow the image capture of just the window (based on the selected pixel size). This would help with the creation of texture images.

4. If you do number 3, allow the user to input the desired pixel size as a direct input as opposed to your current select dialog so that they can specify the size of the final texture.

That's it for now... looking forward to see what you do with it.
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
Not a problem @Epiktetus!

@C4m3r0n those are some good feature requests! I'll be looking into all of those features, and I'll be sure to keep everybody updated with the features being worked on, completed, and due for release.

Remember, if you like a feature in this thread, post here saying so, otherwise I don't know that you want it!
[Android Apps and Games] germanhoss:
As someone with colour-blindness (red-green is poor) I´m very interested in this app. I sometimes use an app called Color Detector which is quite good but has no CMYK. But it has another interesting feature which is a built-in color dictionary of sorts. Maybe this would be something for your app, too.

Tech: I´m using GingerVillain 2.5 which is an AOSP 2.3.4 ROM with A2SD+ support. As launcher I use ADW. Your app kills the ADW launcher on exit which is a repeatable behaviour.

[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
@germanhoss Good catch! I've never seen that before! I'll be releasing an update for that very soon.

As for the dictionary feature, I've been looking into that! I wasn't able to get it working up to par, so I disabled it. When I get it working more reliably, I'll be sure to enable it again!
[Android Apps and Games] giraffe777:
Hi,

You should make gray card (or other known source) as calibration source. As in every light condition is different color, as auto WB works very bad on mobile phones.

So you choose calibration object (with known color) , then you should calculate color of object.

Regards, Ales
[Android Apps and Games] gugler:
nice app. could you please post change log too?
[Android Apps and Games] Superfasty:
This is awesome, I'm also colour-blind and I love it! I would second the request to have some sort of white balance to calibrate it and an in-built colour dictionary/library

I'm getting force quits when I hit tag in this updated version, on my incredible s. Used the previous version to check the ripeness of bananas though, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
Did you send a log to lifedropper@bitjutsu.ca?
[Android Apps and Games] Superfasty:
No I didn't, it didn't give me the option. How do I do that?
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
Just enter "adb shell logcat > /sdcard/log.txt" in command line on your computer and send the text file from your SD card to lifedropper@bitjutsu.ca.

(I'm going to include an "email log" option in the coming versions.)
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
Alright, it's showtime! Here's the Market version of LifeDropper (huge improvements over the beta, please check it out!)

Let me know how I did in comments, ratings, and feedback emails!

[Android Apps and Games] sgunther:
I downloaded the version from the Android Market and paid for the color names in app (I wanted to support). The application locks up once I select the tag button to select the camera image. It will hang for a period of time and then force quit. I submitted the force quit report as prompted by the application.

Platform: Samsung Epic 4G

Software: Android 2.3.5
[Android Apps and Games] Superfasty:
Yeah, mine still force quits when I hit tag too. I submitted a report from my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
Awesome, thanks for reporting that guys! I'll be fixing your issues as soon as I can. (I have finals everyday till Thursday, but I'll be good to go on fixes then.)

Thank you for supporting, I really do appreciate it! :)

If you could get it to crash, and then paste a log to pastebin.com, I'll have a better understanding of what's going on.

I'm going to do everything in my power to get this working for you.

I tried the command you mentioned but it gives me an error "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command"
[Android Apps and Games] vange:
Getting this too on Galaxy Nexus...report sent ofc ;)
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
I'm going to update the app and then if you send your report I'll be able to see what's going on.

I'm terribly sorry for the issues you're experiencing. I tested LifeDropper on every device I own, and ran the beta, and this issue never surfaced, but I will ensure this issue gets fixed. If you feel that a refund is in order, PM me and I will be happy to arrange that for you.

(The technical problem that's making tracking down bugs difficult: I'm using Proguard to obfuscate my code, and the current mapping available to me isn't the one that corresponds to the 1.20 release of LifeDropper. If I update the app and save the new mapping in a separate location, I'll be able to see exactly what's going wrong.)
[Android Apps and Games] Superfasty:
No problem! Thanks for working so hard to fix this! I haven't actually purchased the pro version yet, but I certainly will when I get it working :)

The weird thing is I managed to take a shot or two before it started crashing, but now it crashes every time.
[Android Apps and Games] sudo.adam:
Here's a new trial for fixing the FC. Let me know if it works!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I downloaded the Android SDK on the website and the drivers from MotoDev and placed them on my desktop. I ran the drivers and they installed fine. I unzipped the SDK, created a new folder in my C: drive called AndroidSDK and placed the unzipped folder in that folder.

I opened Command Prompt and entered:

cd C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools

then entered:

fastboot oem unlock

and got this error:

This application has failed to start because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this issue.

I then went into the SDK and read the readme where it says that adb was moved. It says it was moved to platforms. When I open the folder there is nothing in there.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan562:
try the path that ends with "platform-tools" instead
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Ok I figured it out. I clicked on something and it brought up a repo. I download the missing platform-tools.

I ran the commands again and I'm still getting the errors. Should I copy everything from platform-tools into the tools directory?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnackattack:
Did you open the SDK Manager and make sure all your packages are updated?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I did do that but cancelled after it installed the platform-tools. Should I let it download everything? It looked like it was going to take a long ass time.

**** I ended up downloading all the updates for 3.1 and entered the commands again. This time it was able to cd into the platform-tools but I can't enter the command fastboot oem unlock because I get error:

"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Just my luck...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnackattack:
fastboot is in the "tools" folder, not the "platform-tools" folder.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Ok I changed CD but now it's telling me it can't find a file that's located in platform-tools. Should I copy all the files from platform-tools and move them into the tools folder?

*********************************************************

Ok. I moved the file and it worked. My Xoom is unlocking. I have the worst luck when I borrow someone else's laptop.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnackattack:
Copy any files it tells you it can't find. I haven't encountered that issue myself, but that's the solution I've seen others recommend.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I'd like to thank Gnac and the other people who helped me achieve root with the issues I was having.

Anyway I have an SD card in my Xoom and I don't think it's working like it should. I downloaded a file manager, loaded a .zip on there of a theme I want to install but when I boot into recovery it's not there.

I've verified it's in the SDcard with the file manager and it's in .zip format. I'd prefer to flash it instead of adb'ing it because I keep all my .zip organized in folders on my SD card. Before inserting the SD card in the Xoom I did wipe it.

I'm rooted 3.1 and I have Busybox installed. I'm running:

2.6.36.3Tiamet_Xoom-v1.4.2_BRDizzled-g7e8551ebigrushdog@TRON #2

Any ideas how I can get the files to be seen in recovery?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] misbaa7:
yay, but I'm no connected to a data plan, only to wifi
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
I believe there may be third party apps in the market that will allow you to do that. I'm not sure though. Can you do so with a google voice number?

There is an app called Skebby Free MMS in the market that says it sends text and mms messages via wifi. It's only free if you send it to someone else that is using the same app though. Otherwise, it will cost you money.

There is also WhatsApp and it is free for a year.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Maybe you should begin learning how to form proper question then. Do a search on the Market for WiFi MMS or pay the 10 bucks a month.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spothra:
I was in the process of installing ( NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.7_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)_update.zip) I tried posting in the other thread but can't since I don't have enough posts.

Anyhow I went through all the steps on the gingerbread installation page ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060 ) and everything was going well until I hit the flash stage.

When I'm in (magldr v1.13) Magldr at #8 "AD recovery" (already did the wipe) the next steps says to "install zip from sdcard"

The problem is I didn't put the zip file on my sd card because no where did read that it had to be done. I thought that was the thing with NAND was you didn't need to use your sd card.

Now my phone just boots into magldr. Does anyone know how I can install from the file on my desktop instead of off my sd card? or do I need to reinstall win-mobile and start over?

Thanks for any help...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Just click on the guide link in my SIG, it tells you how to copy the file to your SD card with MAGLDR or CWM

I'll try that thank you...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayG210:
I recently made a mistake on my phone & got it stuck in a boot loop. I figure the easiest fix is to just wipe system & install a new ROM from the CWM Recovery Menu. My problem is I cannot access the external sd card.

When trying to navigate install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > external_sd/ it simply returns "No Files Found". I'm assuming because that's probably just a symlink.

If I go to Mounts & Storage and attempt to mount /sd-ext, I get "Error mounting SDEXT :!.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, so any help would be appreciated. I'm still fairly new to the whole Android scene.

I should note that my USB Port is broken so using that is out of the question. I've already attempted twice to replace it (damn thing wont desolder), but that's a whole other bag of worms.. That I won't bother re-visiting unless it's my only option.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
You install a rom with cwm through the internal sd, not external; so yeah, you're going about it the wrong way.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxnubee:

you could try flashing a different kernal ie siyah pr cm9 these have different versions cwm included so you might be able to access your ext sdcard just a thought.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_bun:
It depends on the version of CWR you have flashed. Whenever I run ICZen the version of CWR (5 something) that Deficient Development bakes in lets you flash zips from the external SD; very convenient.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Can the OP use DroidExplorer, and transfer a rom to the internal? I've not used DroidExplorer, but have heard it talked about.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
If there isn't a ROM on the internal SD card to install from recovery, and the current kernel version does not support install from the external SD. Then I would assume you would need to ODIN to stock.

Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Why can't you use something like Dropbox or Box and upload it from your PC, then download it to your phone and transfer to the sdcard of choice with a file explorer? Then flash away. In fact I just did this the other night bc I was too lazy to go to my PC and hook up my phone. I just uploaded it with my tablet and then downloaded it to my Vibrant.

Edit::: I just re-read your OP.

This is NOT the external sd card. SD-ext is another partition that has to be set up on the sdcard with something like Gparted or MiniTool Partition Wizard. It is for when you do not have the standard Samsung 2gb partition or the /datadata partition set up. FWIW, I have never seen this particular partition set up in the Vibrant.

I can't remember what the actual Mount option is in CWR but I definately know this is NOT it. Not sure if you remember seeing it or not but when you do a Nanadroid backup, it will always skip the SD-Ext part b/c there is nothing there. This is more mainly for older phone that were running Eclair and did not have native App2sd support. It was used as a hack to force that support.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu_ha2001:
i think go to a shop get your USB port repaired and get back to STOCK if you dont have any rom on your internal sd or do a (wipe cache etc etc) so that the phone will run on the ROM's kernel

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
So I tried one of the tricks floating around to sort of calibrate the batter. I charged to 100% like any normal charge, then in Tenfar's I wiped the battery stats. Then, as a guide said, I have let my battery completely die. However, I plugged my phone into my WALL charger, and it immediately started booting but it booted into Tenfar's..... I thought that was weird, but then I clicked on reboot system to have it boot normally, and it just died again partway through. I turned it on again after unplugging and replugging, but it booted into Tenfar's again. Then I left it there for a sec to see if it could gather some charge while in that screen, but it just died again. I don't know why it's not working...?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrussee:
Ohhh crap. You've done it now. You have to sbf flash, but honestly I don't know if you have enough charge for that.. what you did is disable the feature to charge without fully booting up, and your phone automatically goes into recovery which doesn't actually charge the phone.

I believe your best bet is to buy a new battery, or go into AT&T and use one of their batterys... switch to charge mode in tenfars recovery app, switch back to your dead battery, let it charge. Then your good. make sure your Atrix NEVER dies while in recovery mode (set from the cwm app.)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
Well, while in the CWM recovery, I clicked reboot again, but this time I quickly pulled the charger out and then plugged it back in, and it worked. It must have started taking the charge again because it finished booting up and now my phone is working well and is charged again! Crisis averted.

But really...why did tenfar's even open up right when I plugged my phone in? I hadn't been using it recently or anything..
