WaterBeArc is android 2.1, the title of this thread is best 2.3.4

Of course WaterBeArc is stable, it's just stock 2.1 with BlackHtc theme and some stuff like xrecovery and jit
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aloy99:
Minicm 7 has been very stable for me, only one reboot in by 3 weeks of usage.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Kulik:
Come closer, I wanna tell you a secret...good, now listen: He was actually more helpful to the topic than you, bro.

And btw, it's not just stability, 2.1 is also fast & has the best battery life. People at SE know what they're doing. You still use in 2.3.4 drivers ported from stock 2.1 & devs are now debugging them to work at least that good as they did in 2.1. As I said, nAa did a pretty good job with miniCM6, but miniCM7 is missing a lot for me so far: camera resolution, auto-focus, can't select cyanogedmod notification power button for flashlight (in 2.2.1 i can, i don't know why) & sensors are sometimes acting weird in apps like compass or metal detector. But definitely from 2.3.4 roms i would use miniCM7, because until now it's been miniCM that's been innovating & other roms were just following the miniCM & tuning it, i think this trend will stay.

I can't see the banding all the time but when I do it's very annoying. I'm going to try and post some pics today. Is it normal or can I get it fixed?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DarkKnight62:
No one at all has this problem or has heard of it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
what do you mean by banding? describe it properly
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DarkKnight62:
in my case specifically i can see faint gray horizontal lines going across the lcd on my phone about every quarter inch. it is especially noticeable on a white screen. i emailed the ebay seller and they stated that it was normal and i would not be able to return or exchange the phone since it was sold as new. i emailed LG about it and they said it would cost anywhere from $40-$100 if it was actually a flaw. like i said in the first post, i'm going to try and get some pictures up soon (hopefully in a couple hours after i get some sleep) to graphically show what i'm talking about.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
DarkKnight62, if it helps in any way: I have observed this on my screen too. The faint gray lines made me believe text lines were burned in the LCD screen, but that would have been pretty much impossible, since I don't read that much on my phone. I can only see this effect when I use the screen as a flashlight - white background and 100% luminosity and it doesn't bother me at all.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
even I read a lot on my phone but I keep the brightness lower than the lowest default. so I dont have this problem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
I think, It's due to surface dithering. See our phone is not 16m colors its 256k so the colors that are missing are to calculated and displayed and that's why the horizontal band if the we set no surface dithering (custom roms mik) the banding just vanishes but the quality of display is reduced. All the linear gradient colors are no more gradient.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kbzona:
I do have this gray lines horizontally and vertically if you see the phone far and carefully only in white background... when its near, the lines just dissapears to my eyes, (like if they get used to the display)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
"gray horizontal lines going across the lcd on my phone about every quarter inch"

I don't think he is talking abouth the lines between pixels.

can you post a picture so we can understand what are you talking about?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zekozeko:
@DarkKnight62 I had a same problem. If you are using francos kernel (and/or roms that have it integrated) it's more visible - very noticeable on wallpapers with smooth gradients. Try switching to stock or mik_os CM7 mod 6.5.4 stable (which is great)...

@soberspine This is example:

[Atrix 4G General] lyon21:
Hey guys. I might be coming across a brand new Atrix, still in the box. I'll be getting it for around $650. Are there any devs that we should try to recruit from any other moto phones? I know we have some very talented devs already but they can't do everything themselves. They are busy people with lives. We need to just let them work. I just figured another dev would help take the pressure off of them a little bit. The only problem is, I can't afford the phone on my own. I would still need help from the community to purchase it. Any extra donations would would be split up between the current devs we have now. The only thing the phone doesn't have is a charger and the HDMI cable has been opened. Everything else is brand new.

What I would like to do is have everyone say who we should recruit and how much they would donate. I will talk to the particular dev and see if they are up for it. I don't want any donations actually sent unless we get enough to buy it and actually get a dev to accept. I'm asking for suggestions on the dev because this is my first android and I don't know the devs too well. Not to mention, everyone who donates should have a say.

Right now I have $50USD towards it.

If you think this is stupid, dumb or a waste of time please do not post. This is just something I thought might help our community. It is not meant to start any trolling or flaming. So please save the space and don't post.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sontoh:
I've been working at this for about 2 hours now. All I want is to update my phone to Android 2.

The situation is as follows:

I have an original HTC Hero, build 1.76.405.6 etc. I'm trying to install the ROM update to 2.73.405.5. I have to install it with HTCSync. Since I'm on Windows 7, the original HTCSync that came with the phone has issues with the drivers. I've tried several ways of installing those drivers manually, and eventually resorted to using the new all-purpose HTCSync from the HTC website. The program itself works, but, now, when I'm trying to sync, that action itself does not work. If I try to install the update, the connection turns off. If I try to sync the files, it fails to access the PIM. And I already made Outlook my default program on PC, which, according to sources, should have helped the issue.

Oh, and it seems I can't download apps through the marketplace at this time anymore either. I'm not sure if this is related or not, but better safe than sorry, right?

I can't find anything else on this in the archives, so I'm asking you all for help.

Oh, and my knowledge of these kinds of phones is barely above digibetic, so, please, I beg of you, no solutions that have me crack open the entire software shell, or something like that?

Thanks in forward, Sonto
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
Hey guys.

I executed dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1

I've read in droid-developers.org that mbmloader is locked so I thought dd was going to give me write errors. I was wrong, and dd wrote zeros in the mbmloader partition. Now, phone is completely dead and I'll have to get a new one.

But I think that if it's possible to change mbmloader code with zeros, why can't we replace it with a new unsigned bootloader using dd? I couldn't find many real explanations why bootloader can't be replaced besides "it's locked and forget about it", so dd may be a way to replace it. We gonna need the opinion of someone with more knowledge about low-level programming and Defy's hardware.

Bye... And never type this in your Defy if you like it.
[Defy Android Development] kaninabu:
Sorry, I simply cracked up at that line.

LOL
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
I have to try this trick:

https://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/How_to_load_mbmloader_from_SD_card

Can someone please dump mmcblk1p1, it can be done with the reverse command:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/mbmloaderdump.img

Yaffs explorer can also dump it if you're afraid to run dd.

Thanks in advance!
[Defy Android Development] bavo_t:
If you managed to do

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1

shouldn't you also be able to

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 of=~/bootloader.img ?

and if someone can do that and send you the image, shouldn't you also be able to repair your phone?

And why would you try anything like that anyway?? Especially without making a backup first?

I don't have my phone atm, i'm waiting for it to be returned from warranty. So i can't do any tests right now.

Edit: apparently you just found out yourself what I said :)
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
Thanks for your answer!

The problem is to recover the image if the phone doesn't even turn on.

As it's stated here, maybe there's a way to load it from SD Card:

https://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/How_to_load_mbmloader_from_SD_card

But for trying that I'd need that someone posts a dump of mmcblk1p1
[Defy Android Development] dedraks:
File uploaded.
[Defy Android Development] danimagrin:
Thank you very much for the effort, but it didn't work.

Besides putting the file in root of sdcard, it seems that some code should be put on the phone to make it look on the sdcard for the mbmloader. Since the phone doesn't turn on, i can't put this code.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
when you plug in the phone to a linux pc, do you see a USB device?
[Defy Android Development] sunoldman:
It seems that it's possible to replace the mbmloader with an unsigned bootloader. In fact, they've tried it on milestone, but failed.

(http://and-developers.com/custom_recovery:alternative_methods)

Either you have to find a existent one or write a new one.

As to the former, we can't find an unsigned bootloader unless moto unlock it.

To do the latter one, you have to get all the information about the phone, another almost impossible thing.

here is the milestone boot chain, similer to defy.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugeyed1:
Is there an xda thread that discusses CM releases nightlies & stable for the Nook color )Encore)? The forum on CM is not very active & I don't find many postings that say things like "Ok, I tried CM7 nightly #95 & I have encountered these problems." It would even be nice to have a running poll that rates the functionality of new releases. That way, those who don't have the time to deal with new bugs can judge whether or not to move to a new CM release & fix a bug they may have. I am trying to use my NC in a productive way, but I would like a few issues fixed, but need some of the "tools" to still work. Maybe the solution in my case is to install only stable releases, but the last stable was on 5/8 & I got impatient & installed some nightlies.

Cheers,

kev
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poofyhairguy:
A big issue is that the developers officially consider the nightlies to be a "use at your own risk" type situation. Since CM7 is a pure community project, the developers work on whatever bugs effect them directly or ones that are so egregious that they effect everyone (like SOD). There is no process for the community to decide which bugs gets fixed because that comes close to breaking the first rule of cyanogenmod.

That is exactly what the answer is from developers that on this forum- stick to the stable releases if you want stable. Of course then the issue is that you miss out on some great improvements for a while (like working sleep), so in the end you have to chose:

A. A stable, non-fully functioning version.

B. A nonstable, functional-hopefully nightly.

For many of us used to open source development, this dichotomy between broken and stale is the norm.

If you are having real issues it is best to post them in the CM7 developers thread where they will be read, and hope that a kind developer chooses to work on that issue after you post it!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackieBrown:
As a Debian Sid user, I would be bored if it were any other way.

The Nook has the great perk of booting off an sd card by default, which really diminished my reasons for not staying on top of the nightlies. (I grab one every few days instead of daily but that is more to conserve their bandwidth than a fear of what I will get.)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mordenkainen:
I'm seeing an issue with my Xoom and wondered if anyone else had seen the same thing.

When I hook the Xoom to my TV via HDMI, touch response goes south on the Xoom.

It is almost unusable. Touches are usually not detected.

It is the definitely due to the HDMI connection. On one test I was running Angry Birds and was able to play the game without any problems, connected HDMI and the game displayed on the TV but was no longer playable, unhooked the HDMI and everything went back to normal.

Does anyone know what is wrong here?

I have seen the issue with both the Stock and Tiamat kernels. I have not yet updated to Honeycomb 3.1.

Hi!

Sorry if I'm asking something obvious, but I searched here and there on the forums and could not find anything related to my issue.

I just put Floyo 0.20 on my xperia X8 and have been fiddling around with it for a couple of days now. I didn't really check the camera/photo function up until today and I found that when I want to take a photo a "grid" is displayed on the screen.

This "grid" does not appear anywhere else, not even when switching to video recording. Is this something normal (like to help with aligning the pictures horizontally) or is it some kind of a bug?
