[Xoom General] Chainfire:
This is on v0.4 I sent earlier today ?

A communication error would present itself with the app either no longer responding or the liveview being updated but none(!) of the other buttons being functional anymore.

What I find odd about your situation is that the things that stop working appear to be selective (like shutter speed). One function may work while the other does not. I have no explanation for that, nor has anybody else reported the same issue either here on XDA or by e-mail, nor am I able to replicate this behavior on the 550D, 50D, or 7D I have available here myself - it's either a full stop or a full go. You however have been seeing this problem since day one, I believe.

Regarding focus, can you tell me (more words = better) exactly what you do and what happens? Obviously it will not focus for you if the lens is set to manual focus, but I doubt that is the problem you are seeing. I'm not quite sure which liveview or focus menu options would apply, as I do not have a 5D so I don't know what the options actually are. If you could list them for me, there may be something I can spot that may be problematic.

On a different note, did v0.4 improve liveview speed for you and/or enlarge the user interface properly ?
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
I will try to completely uninstall and reinstall tomorrow. I notice this primarily in Manual modem but I shoot almost exclusively in manual.

I press the screen to focus and nothing happens. I have not been able to focus since v .1 and even that was intermittent. Would love to add more detail, but I don't see any real focusing going on. I think someone else has the same combo I have (5D II and Xoom.) Maybe if I figure out who that was I can PM him/her and we can compare notes. Yes, shooting in automatic. Not indignant that you would mention - it's a reasonable question.

Yes to both - the bigger icons are much easier to use, too. It seemed much faster with v.4
[Xoom General] Chainfire:
- Which mode is liveview autofocus set to? Live, :-) (Live face) or Quick? It's the topleft button. Live mode focuses on the rectangle, :-) tries to find a face and you have no influence over it, while quick uses the standard mechanism your camera would use without the mirror flipped to liveview mode (and flips the mirrors once or twice to get there). You also have little influence over quick mode, it is somehow determined by the focal points you have previously set and use during non-liveview photography, it appears.

- Have you noticed a specific timing into a session when these problems occur ? For example, a certain error (misfunction) would appear an X amount of minutes after the starting the session ? What happens to the LCD screen on the camera - does it remain on at all times ?

I'm not that much of a photographer myself (actually most of the equipment I use is from a friend), but if we can't figure this issue out, I'm pretty sure I can eventually find a 5D mk II to play with myself, but it'll take some time to get it.
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
Re: focus - I tried it in all three modes this afternoon.

Re: other issues - I cannot replicate the issues, which has been frustrating. If there is a trigger or sequence, it is eluding me.
[Xoom General] Chainfire:
Thanks, I'll take some time to think about all you've said. I do guess I'm going to personally need a 5D mk II to try and trace these problems though. I've also noticed communication errors occur with a different frequency between models. The 7D I work with for example seems to have them a lot less than the 550D I use.

I'm not sure how Canon goes about camera firmware updates, but it may be worthwhile to check if your 5D.II's firmware is the latest available. I'm not necessarily saying you should update it though (who knows what issues that may cause, and if you are financially dependent on a camera that appears to work fine, I would actually advise against it), but a check may be useful.
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
I will update the firmware tomorrow - I have been planning on it and just have not got around to it yet.
[Xoom General] dtevegas:
Sadly neither my eos 350d nor ixus 850is get picked up correctly. They both show up as usb mass storage.

The eos 350d does have a ptp option but this doesn't work
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
OK, I updated the firmware and reinstalled the app. here is what I found:

Still no luck with focusing.

My button issues seem to occur pretty much in manual mode only.

It is working pretty quickly for me - not really a lag at all.

The bigger buttons are much, much better.

5D Mark II & Xoom
[Xoom General] Chainfire:
I have an inkling that the button issue and focus issue will be related - does it focus when you try to capture, btw ? Tomorrow I will make the beta public (v0.5) so we can see what a lot more other users are experiencing.

Unfortunately I still don't have the USB host cable for my 10" Honeycomb tablet that has mostly the same innards as the Xoom, so I still can't test on that.

I'd release it / send it to you right now, but I'm just too tired to do a release. Time for some zZzZz !

A lot of code got changed, and a lot of new features have been implemented, but I somehow doubt any of those will have fixed this specific issue you are seeing.
[Xoom General] TheZuneLune:
Cool. One note of interest. On the first version of the app, when I connected to the tablet, liveview was no longer "on" or displaying on my LCD, just the tablet. now it shows on both the tablet and LCD on the camera. not sure if that is important or not.
[Xoom General] Chainfire:
Beta has been released to Market. All talk of DSLR Controller should move to it's own topic here on XDA:

Edit: Here's YOUR app, just saw it's by Chainfire. Duh! Congrats!

http://gizmodo.com/5828031/canon-dslrs-can-be-controlled-using-this-handy-android-app

I will buy it once it exits Beta, unless you need more feedback. This app is not a bad price when considering how much a physical shutter button would be in order to snap photos to avoid shaking!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Just in case someone missed the thread.

Since we don't have CWM, follow the instructions below

Download the GalaxySPack...

Unzip files in /system/app.

Backup your phone's file.apk that you are about to copy from GalaxySPack and also the odex file. (You can rename the files xxx.apk.bak, xxx.odex.bak)

Copy the files in your phone's /system/app/, reboot and there you go.

Done.

Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" Button for me is all I ask.

*** There is also the MultiDPI Video Player and Camera, but it doesn't seem to affect our phone. Should work on any DPI.

FOR Gingerbread Install.... (Other APK's are coming)

1. Download unsignedDialerTabActivity.apk

2. Rename to DialerTabActivity.apk

3. Backup your Original DialerTabActivity in \system\app

4. Copy new DialerTabActivity.apk

5. Hit the Thanks Button for me please (I actually did this one on my own)

Enjoy!

P.S. Music Player is the same for GB.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] S2K_MoZo:
Sorry I am a noob but just trying to figure out what this is supposed to do?

Is it just an app that runs on any dpi?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
The zip contains apks. Basically you replace the apks from this zip into your /system/app

Like the DialerTabActivity.apk or MusicPlayer.apk. These apk's are modded to support most DPI changes. So you just replace away, but a good idea is to back your old apk hahaha....

Hope that helps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] baypah:
Whats the benifit to replacing the stock apk files?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Read the other thread about MultiDPI apks.

When you change DPI's certain things like the phone dialer doesn't scale correctly. These APKs does...

If you don't change DPI's on your infuse, don't worry about it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pvillasuso:
Thanks for this , man ! :D , going back to 190
[Samsung Infuse 4G] flipwalter76:
Phone app force closing now
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Did you rename DialerTabActivity.odex to Something like DialerTabActivity.odex.bak

?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] flipwalter76:
Of course not! That would have been the smart thing to do! Can anyone post the original for me?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] flipwalter76:
I have the black galaxy pack applied, would that have caused an issue?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Wait there are two files that you had to modify in your phone.

You replaced DialerTabActivity.apk from the .zip THEN you have to remove or rename DialerTabActivity.odex

THEN REBOOT!

Did you do this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] flipwalter76:
No, I re read the instructions you clearly posted, kicked myself, and it works splendidly now. THANKS!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
HAHHAA its all about reading.....

Try it for the music.apk, its nice especially when you turn on visualize for a song. Its so nice on a horizontal screen on a 4.5" screen!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] S2K_MoZo:
Awesomeness dood! I am going to try this right now :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] S2K_MoZo:
Okay, so I made the change and my thoughts:

Dialer works perfect, music player works too but my biggest concern is that my grid where I can place icons and the apps drawer is still in the top left corner.

It's almost like phone doesn't know I can put icons in the bottom right.

What do I need to change in order to fix that?

Basically the layout of the phone does not recognize all the extra space I have now?

How can I take a screenshot to show you guys?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] S2K_MoZo:
It kinda looks like this. Any ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] S2K_MoZo:
I used root explorer to copy the files over and set permissions.

It was launcher issue...I changed the launcher to launcher pro and it works like a charm now at 200 density for now. I might change it to 190 but I think 200 is a decent enough density :)

Thanks everyone :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Dude 190 is WAYYY better.... at 200 there is a little oversharpness by samsung's filters. 190 really creates more of a rounded letter... Doesn't make that big of a difference.

Also in LauncherPro you can change the number of rows or columns on the home screens + have it automatically size widgets and placement of icons to get that even look.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Thanks, I will try 190 again here in a minute.

I tried changing columns and rows but it does not do anything.

When I go in Preferences -> Homescreen Settings -> No. of cols..nothing is selected. I select 5 to match the dock. It asks to restart but after restart of launcher it still has 4 columns? I am on the paid launcher pro.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
When you manually redo columns like that, uncheck auto arrange. See if that hepls.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Can't do that. that check never stays checked. I tried checking it, restarted launcher, went back in and it was unchecked. Maybe our infuse is not compatible with launcherpro?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
I am using LauncherPro right now....

Reboot the phone... might be some symlink that got messed up.... it happens
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:

we do have a working CWM :). using the update.zip from captivate after modifying 3e recovery. check my threads.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Yeah I saw that.... I dun wanna do it till everything is deodexed, cause I am going to be itchy to flash something that is going to brick hahahaha!!!

Anyways good news, the Dev for voodoo contacted me for some info about the phone.... Hopefully we get something up in a couple of days!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
good. you must be referencing supercurio. just write an updater script to rename the stock .apk and .odex files to .apk.bak and .odex.bak, then copy over the de-odexed ones. lemme write you up an updater script if i have time tonight :). still working on the 100% full proof odin flash to stock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Yup thats him... Hopefully we get some voodoo soon! If you get odin flash to stock that would be even better!

Hey do you think the framework.apk are different from like JS8 to our KD5's?

is it possible to edit the dialer apk in this package to fix the name of favorites back to favorites instead of favourites? its bugging me lol

I will do it myself if I anyone knows which res file to edit.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Give me a step by step of what exactly you are doing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgeezy24:
Using file expert with root permission to add .bak to end of dialertabactivity.apk and .odex as well as the calculator and music apps. Then I am moving the new apks into the system app folder as well. Rebooting and seeing no apps availablr.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 3GBeyotch:
Thanks for this - it was really bugging me have an jacked-up dialer. I noticed that there is now a Video Call feature towards the bottom - do you know if this is tied to a specific service or what ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Hmmm that is weird....

Those are both in the /system/app folder? Did you copy the apk's back in that directory with correct permissions as the original?

I used root explorer for mine...

Anyone else chime in on what file application they used to do this successfully?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Its a pain to repackage the .apk, trust me I tried. Editing one of the xml files should be it in the apk.

I noticed that the in-call dialer is small and quite jacked up at 190 dpi, any chance someone can fix that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
All apps look great at 210 DPI.

However, there's a glitch in the dialer tabs. There are thin black lines going through them, and there's a bit of a broken background behind contacts tab.

Here's what I'm talking about:

P.S: same problem in MusicPlayer tabs. Also blacklines. Looks like tab background doesn't scale well =( Any designers want to fix this for eager community? =)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Try a different resolution.... see if you get that problem.... I am on 190 and don't have any problems same on 200.... I don't see why 210 would be.... try it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] a3plew:
Im using one 190. I only have 2 problems. to me the dialer buttons look semi blurry and the dialer in call is not scaled properly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] indymx:
Mine doesn't look like that at all..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
ohrly?

10char
[Samsung Infuse 4G] indymx:
Yeah... really..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Yeah that is the in-call dialer.... I am not the developer for this, its Xan which I think he is off this DPI project. I tried following his instructions on how to compile the apk on my own but it didn't work.

Maybe I can try again now that the rom is deodexed, but its noted....

But I haven't seen the line and background breakup at all.... like I said maybe its the 210 resolution.

In terms of the bluriness, I have to agree its same as mine. I think its just cause its so much bigger than the graphic was made for, like zooming in on a low res picture, not much you an do about it unless you want to reconstruct everything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
200 also has them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
....

...

....

Cause you don't even have tabs...? It's an in-call screen.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Dude so weird, I tried and 200 again and I don't have that problem.....

So weird! Can you try to go 190 first and then go to 200? I have no idea why?

Yeah it breaks up at 210, but 200 and 190 looks fine.... Is it something about being divisible from the stock resolution?

Does anyone have a fix for the toichwiz launcher? Its scaling wrong on the latest infused rom.... the app drawer as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] camoto:
I have been using this with Infuse 1.4.1

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4731120/InfusedDPI.zip

All it has is dialer and calc. (Music Player scales correctly and Radio crashes if you try to use it on the infuse) Calc is from the original MultiDPI and the Dialer is from the MultiDPI with 2 changes I have made: PNG's from the "Matted Blues" theme by beatblaster, and a US english string change from UK english so it says "Favorites" instead of "Favourites".

I am using it with scaling at 200. I have not tested if it lays out correctly with other scaling.

You can flash it with CWM. Use it at your own risk. It works for me. But I made the changes and I am not exactly a pro at this stuff.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jgeezy24:
finally got this working now that I have CWM. However, it's not perfect. I'd almost rather go back to stock. problem is I didnt back up...tisk tisk shame on me. anyone got the stocks zipped up by chance?

Everything looks a little blurry at 190. we need higher resolution. also when you are in a call and you pull up the dialer its tiny and off center. also the alphabet on the contacts list doesnt populate all the way down. anyone care to tweak the xml? i love the 190 dpi though!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
Original Stock ROM Infuse APKs (default DPI):

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WB29F9II

Unzip, use Root Explorer or adb to put them in /system/apps.

Remove the .orig extension from all of them. Keep in mind that each app has 2 files - apk and odex.

Use the thanks button if this helped =)

I also had the line through the tabs at 180, but changed to 190 and have no lines now. I know the calendar apk wasn't a part of this zip, but on the months with 5 "visible" weeks, it's cuts off a portion of the bottom row. Not enough of an issue for me to go back to 240, but thought I would mention it. And when taking screenshots for the calendar, just noticed I have lines in the tabs (visible in pictures) -- I assume it is because it is the default APK.
