Many thanks to the user of my app who sent this feedback:

"force close when start button clicked in nexus".

It turns out Nexus One (or S?) does not support either VGA or QVGA preview frames. So I had to fix this issue by requesting the supported resolutions. Very surprised by this issue. I expected that Android OS would figure this out on its own...

Thus new version 0.45.5 is supposed to fix the issue. I do not have Nexus One so I am not 100% about the fix. Those of you who are reading this and have Nexus One, please try new version!

Thank you!

Have you tried first reducing your image resolution to something ridiculously small like 32x32 and apply a DCT to keep only the low frequencies?

This might offer much better performance.

You can perform very good

I have a bog standard setup at the moment of one of the test roms for gingerbread with apps2sd included which is nice

but also supernova looks nice for data2sd

insertcoin rom and rcmix s also look good

but as said - it all depends what you want and what you like

i.e. do you want MIUI / AOSP / Sense etc.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwalkr:
Hey guys,

First of all I'm a n00b here (so please bear with me). I've been reading all the info that I can about rooting but I still have a couple of questions.

Basically the process (high level) for rooting as far as I understood, basically consists of -> unlock bootloader -> install custom recovery image -> NAND backup -> install custom rom -> joy

I have a Nexus S i9023 but I have a few questions regarding the process above:

1) When I do the fastboot oem unlock, do I immediately lose the warranty of the phone ? If so, should I wait before rooting to make sure any problems with the phone show up and can be dealt with the warranty ? And bearing in mind that Samsung just handed out free GSII to the developers of CM7, how true really is this voiding the warranty thing ? If you do fastboot oem lock again, is there any traces of the root process ?

2) I already have apps and their settings installed. If I install a custom rom, or a custom kernel, am I going to lose those apps and settings ? Would be a pain to configure everything again.

3) When installing a custom rom I lose the OTA updates. If I reflash a NAND backup of my stock 2.3.4 unrooted Nexus S, will this bring me back to the same state as before rooting ? (with all updates coming in, etc).

4) Can I just flash a custom kernel instead of a custom rom ? For example, could I just flash NetArchy to benefit from the BLN notifications without needing a custom ROM altogether ?

5) I'm really interested in knowing what these guys are actually doing when they develop custom kernels and roms (which programming languages, etc). Do you have to be a real linux geek to do it ?

6) Is it better to use windows to do the flashing of roms ? I'm using Ubuntu right now and makes sense to me that using a Linux system to deal with another Linux system is the most appropriate as opposed to using Windows to deal with flash

Thanks a lot for any hints guys.... once again please bear with my n00bness :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dark3n:
First of all you should have used google + search function more exensively.

Second of all watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA

Third of all:

1) It is really true, as this are the rules, if they want to bend you over during warranty for rooting your device they can, if they even care about it depends on the moon phase and how the technicans breakfast was. I don't know what fastboot is but undoing rooting is usually not traceable.

If you should wait rather depends on if you want to wait. Problems can show now, later or never, who knows.

2) Custom Rom yes, Custom Kernel usually keeps settings. But this all depends on the included scripts in the flash files. You can use a backup tool of your choice to restore settings of apps. Restoring system app settings can cause problems though.

3) Yes, i believe so.

4) I don't know NetArchy, but yes you can only flash a custom kernel. Read the kernel developers thread and all infos though.

5) Your mixing two very different things, Rom developers ( or Rom cooks) usually repack firmwares with different apps, different start up scripts, partitions, themes etc. usually not too much in deepth work in the code going here.

Kernel developers change flags, driver support, include an extra library (like backlight notifications) or enable overclocking through flags/extra loaded moduls.

6) Doesn't really matter.

I can bare with n00bness, i'd just like everyone to invest more than 10min into the search/google.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwalkr:
Thanks for the info, much appreciated :)

I think I now have a clear picture about all that's involved and the risks.

Main reason I want to root is to be able to have backlight notifications and to have a rom/kernel that can tell me what has been keeping my phone in keep-awake state for no apparent reason in the 4636 history (stock Gingerbread doesn't show the keep awake page). Being able to lower the CPU speed when not using the phone would be quite a nice addition as well.

I did see the n00b video and I did research rooting for quite a few days. But there's so many information around and so many people say what they will that in the end it becomes difficult to see between the noise.

Thanks for clearing up the bits for me! :)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
Just follow the Wiki guide in order. Go to the HTC website and click support and find your device. Download the program called HTC Sync. When you download that program, it will download the drivers needed also.

You must enter in all the code from the command prompt. Click start on your computer, then type in "cmd" in the search bar, and click on it. It should pop up with a black prompt. It should have some words already up there, mine says "C:\Users\Sam", that means that folder is my current directory and I would have to move all the files I just downloaded to that folder. So lets say I want to change that current directory, then I would type in "cd " followed by the path of the folder. For example, I would say "cd C:\Users\Sam\Documents\HTCDesireZ\RandomFolder". Then the folder "RandomFolder" is my new path and I put all my downloaded files in there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NthZ:
I have enabled USB Debugging, but when i type adb devices, no devices show up. I have done the other steps correctly.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgeboy:
Ever since upgrading to the rooted, stock OTA ROM, my wifi has basically been unable to connect. I got it to connect a couple of times, but only for a very short while (possibly until I turned the phone off). Prior to this rom, it would automatically connect within a minute of arriving at one of the sites where I had wifi configured. All of the networks are properly configured--it just won't stay connected. It starts to, and then goes back to disconnected.

I have never had any problems with the wifi on this phone, with any ROM.

Is there a trick to getting it back up and running again? Is there a different kernel fo rthe new OTA that will fix it? I've searched and found others with the same problem, but haven't found a solution.

Thanks,

Dave

Wifi n

I beg your pardon but I have a problem with wifi which could be answered in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995301

but I can't post there, cause I have no permission. I'm a newbie that does't post too much. That's my first one.

I rooted my wildfire to overclock cpu, I didn't want to change stock rom, so flashed nfinity kernel mc4. Usually I link to 4 wifi servers. After nfinity installation I can't link one of the 4 servers anymore. Is a free access server (named netgear, this factory produces advanced wifi routers I saw). I think the problem could be a question of wifi mode disabled after kernel flashing. Could someone confirm me wildfire uses all b/g/n wifi modes and nfinity kernel disables the n mode? Very pleased if you can give me another explaination of the problem.

Thanks.

Edit: anyway I flashed HDCR v4.1 kernel and now wifi server is accessible again.

I am looking to get a new phone (pay and go) and after having a extensive play with my house mates Galaxy S I have decided I want some form of Android phone.

I don't have all that much to spend, Something around the £100 mark.

Would be using the phone for things like Facebook, slight web browsing for time to time and a few games like Angry birds and cube runner oh and World of warcraft mobile authenticator.

I have got two phones in mind but am unsure of what device would better suit my needs.

Samsung Galaxy Apollo

Or

HTC Wildfire

Or

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8

Any advice or personal experience with these phones would be much appreciated.

[Android Software Development] PrometheanFire:
Hi,

A year ago I developed an app as part of a group project at uni. Due to the limitations set by the project rules the app isn't properly designed for Android. The app is a tour guide, in 2 parts. The guide itself is an XML file which has all the content on it. The other part is the player, which is an Android app. The player parses the XML and forms Java Classes to store the data and then play it. The content is saved in the form of Slides in a Slideshow (part of the requirements of the project, not our choice). So for instance 1 slide will be the main menu, then clicking a button will take you to another slide which will be a sub menu and so on.

Now a year later I've come to update this app, originally I was just intending to change the AbsoluteLayouts we used to Relative/Linear/List/whatever works best for that particular slide and also to put the layouts into XML rather keep them in the Java. However I was wondering what would be the best Android practice for an app such as this?

The advantage of using XML for the guide is that say if we had a guide to a different city we could just upload that new XML to a server (the player can download remotely) and then download it to get a new tour guide. However would it be best for me to strip away all of this and start afresh, with Android in mind? I.E. by removing the need to parse an XML file at the start and just have a new app for each city.

I've been thinking about a complete overhaul as changing AbsoluteLayout will be a pain. At the moment each component is given X and Y coordinates in the main XML file, so changing that to relative commands, changing the parser to read that will be hard. Also it's best practice to store the layouts in R.layout but it would be hard to convert the layout from the main Tour Guide XML to a layout XML... if that makes sense :/

If I were to remove the main XML, how would I handle each menu or content page? Would they be given their own activity?

Sorry for the long post, I just want to be clear on what the best way to update this app would be and am just learning how to properly design Android apps. I really appreciate any advice and for taking the time to read this post!
