[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
One of the most exciting things I wanted to do on a tablet was run Netflix. Dare I say, once I saw a youtube video showing a G-tablet hacked to run Netflix properly (as well as Hulu directly off the site), it was my inspiration to bite the bullet and say I wanted one.

Little did I realize that Netflix currently only works on one rom, CM7, and that rom is not exactly the best option for this thing.

I just came back from a Digital Experience media event in NYC (I have a press pass), where I got to play with the new BB playbook, Samsung 10" tab, and the new webOS tablet. Made me realize how slow and laggy CM7 appears to have made my Gtablet! The tegra chip is capable of more, I've seen it fly through other roms, but I picked CM7 which lacks just about any kind of HW acceleration.

Meanwhile, there are all these little things that irk me- the camera doesn't work in apps like oovoo or yahoo messenger, there's a weird microSD/MMC bug that hides either your internal memory or your SD card (you can at least switch by flashing a zip that renames thins, but you still have to pick one to be invisible to most apps), and the mouse cursor doesn't work if you plug in a USB mouse.

That last one is an issue because I have one of these keyboard/mouse combo mini USB things:

http://gadgetynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/LenovoMiniWirelessKeyboard.jpg

And on other roms (like the stock one), it gives a mouse pointer I can move around and click where I want to pretend I'm touching the screen (pretty cool!). On CM7, it treats it like a track ball that moves the cursor around. So while I'm typing, if it shakes, the cursor moves to the left or right of where I'm trying to type. SUPER ANNOYING. I actually took some duct tape to hold the track ball down.

All this... so I can watch netflix in bed without a laptop. Worth it? I'm still doing it so I guess so. I mean, it was part of why I wanted a tablet. But I can't wait for more roms to work with netflix, I don't care if its Froyo. Just something fast that supports it and doesn't have all these little troublesome quirks!

I mean, someone is bound to figure out what makes it work on netflix and apply it to other roms, right? Or heck, maybe netflix will release an update that works with more devices soon? This is getting ridiculous, IMO!

Whew. Sorry for the rant, that's something I've been needing to say for a while!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmx2112:
Thanks Dishe ... they were some of the same little quirks I was reading about; actually one of the reasons I posted - I appreciate the feedback. I'm sure these guys out here busting it on all the cool ROMs will eventually hit one out of the park - provided all the vendors, i.e. Netflix, etc. get their act together, with DRM, etc.

How to make a boot animation/boot image? Like replace the LG logo, and the Rom animation. A point to a guide or tut would be appreciated. Thank you:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] brooksyx:
To change the lg stuff is going to be pretty tough i link. Thats not part of the rom and might have to be done with like cdma tools or something.

But changing the goot animation is easy, just download the animation you want (make sure the resolution on its not to big) and paste it in the system/media folder on your phone with root explorer or something.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
here is a link to the guide cyanogenmod wiki points to.

good luck with your project!

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

p.s. a forum search here will lead you to a lot more info on boot animations and some samples.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Even easier to place it to /data/local without any root required.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] N00b-un-2:
I wonder about this too. The bootanimation.zip is just that, the boot animation and doesn't even require root access to change. however, the manufacturer animation that comes before it I would like to change. I am running CM7 and would like to change the static red LG logo for the 'electron beam' animated one used in virtually every other rom, including the stock firmware. Wonder if anyone could just make a flashable zip to do this. I'm looking at wiki article and while I feel confident I could do it, it looks like a brick waiting to happen!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mrheroinlol:
Thanks guys I got a new boot another and just replaced the obedience. Data /local and it plays just fine:3
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
the ROM animation is easy you can either get a existing animation zip and rename and replace the bootanimation.zip with root explorer depending on where it is stored in your ROM if you want to make your own the animation is not a video it is a series of png files so you can make one yourself im not sure about the order just take a existing bootanimation.zip and unzip it and take a look
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Mrheroinlol:
Wow lol that last post made no sense.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Well, that post is actually entirely correct, except for the annoying lack of punctuation which makes it extremely hard to read. :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
Sorry I got bad gamer, what did you not understand
[Optimus One, P500, V General] istoner:
Lol the irony.

Thanks, couple of boot animations coming your way.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
haha I'm glad someone got out thank you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lipe082:
there´s also a app that change the boot logo with prviews i have the lite version of it and i can change maybe 10 diferent boot anim. its more easy fast and simple to do and you could choose the resolution you want the panim to have

the app is BAC Litev3.1

What app...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sframbo:
hi all

i have installed MccMboxmax 6.6 with the data.img from 6.0. It works so far but all htc widgets were scrambled. When i click on "show all htc widgets", i get a blank screen an no widgets are shown. Does anybody know how to fix this?

thx in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Dont use your old data.img with new build. Use Titanium Backup Pro instead and only backup usr apps not system. Using old data.img can cause issues.

Backups your apps and a clean install.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sframbo:
Thx for your help! - What you said has done the job. Backuped my data with appmonster instead of Titanium Backup Pro, wiped the Android directory on the SD and made a fresh install of BoxMax 6.6. After boot up, i restored all my apps with appmonster and the whole system is running now. The next time, i will finally flash the rom to NAND ;-)

Im a little lost when it comes to apps2sd or links2sd, and I cant decide which one to use. I currently have a 8GB SD Class4 card. I have already rooted and I dont really want to wipe my phone clear (mainly lack of an internet connection)

Apps2SD: The first post reads that it needs a clean install of stock, but this post seems to say it doesnt: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12820052&postcount=581 so does it need a clean install or doesnt it?

Links2SD looks easiest ie its just an app from the market, and Im sure I can get someone to download the app for me, but how effective is it, and again will I need a clean install of everything?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
LoL sorry for the confusion!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Got it set up. Used 800MB for second partition. First partition must be FAT32 unless you want a cap of 4GB (not very helpful for a 8GB card) but all seems to be working fine :)

[Surround General] Kuree:
Ok... I'm not so sure If i was supposed to make a new thread or reply to an old one... but If you replaced your MicroSD card, then what kind did you replace the 16gb card with? I put in an older 8GB C4 card and my phone is not working as well as before. It is not responding during sync and it opens applications a bit slower. Every time, after about 5 minutes into the sync operation, it stops responding and I have to reconnect it to my computer, and I fear that it is overcharging the battery.

So just curious, what brand, model (if you have it), size, and class, are you using currently?
[Surround General] Coockoo:
SD Cards

Hi Kuree,

The first time I replaced my SD i used a Lexar 16GB Micro SDHC (it has a 4 in a cirlce on it as well). This one worked perfectly, syncing and there were no slow downs what so ever.

The card i have in my surround now is Also a 16GB MicroSDHC (with a 2 circled on it) this card also works perfectly. i'm not sure on the brand name as this one doesn't say it but I'm pretty sure it was a Lexar Mobile version.

I've only used 16GB cards so i can't exactly tell you if the 8GB card is the root of your issues.

Hopefully this helps you out!

If you have any more questions let me know and I'll see if i can answer them.

Take care,

Coockoo

[HTC Desire S] marsexpress:
Hi,

I'm a big fan of the Desire and thought the Desire S would come even closer to ticking all the boxes, but the number of software bugs in this thing is beginning to make me feel like I have a Nokia again!

Latest issue: I try to save a picture I received in an MMS. Phone tells me my 'SD card is running low on space please delete some files'....I have a 32gb card with 1gb or so free (4% free space) and internal memory is 0.98gb free, and I can't save a 150kb jpg to my SD card because it's 'running low on space'...genius!!

Arrrgghhh!
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
This isn't really a software bug for chrissakes. The phone is letting you know when your storage availibilty is below 5% capacity.
[HTC Desire S] marsexpress:
I understand that is not an actual bug, it's clearly how the software is designed to behave, but does no one else think it's a bit retarded to be unable to save a picture when more than 1gb of storage space is available. It is effectively a bug in my eyes.

Do you not agree that the desire s, and probably all of HTC's gingerbread phone software builds have a disappointing number of software glitches and design problems? Coming from the desire which I found to be such a high quality product and breath of fresh air compared to previous devices, like various Nokia I owned I find it annoying and just want to highlight some issues FWIW.

Cheers.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Ok point taken. But I can't really agree about the software glitches. I've been using mine fairly intensively for a couple of months now & continue to find it smooth, fast & responsive.

I've found that a lot of problems can usually be traced to 3rd party software, often software that is intended to replace functionality provided by the native rom - such as Sense replacements etc. - or ones that tinker with "deep" system settings ie CPU etc.

But everyone's experience is different & people expect different things from these machines :D

Peace
[HTC Desire S] marsexpress:
Cheers, I see your point too! Don't mean to come on here and just spout negativity, maybe I expect too much! I've actually got around most of the issues that were annoying me by switching to handcent for SMS, I usually prefer stock apps but I concede that handcent is superb and it doesn't have the 'delete by selection bug'.

I do love my desire s really :-D
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
I know, handcent gets lots of rave reviews. Me? I just don't get it, lol. Quite happy with native sms app :D
[HTC Desire S] slugger09:
I have to say I am mote than happy with ny Desire S on Orange, haven't had any issues.
[HTC Desire S] marsexpress:
If it wasn't for the delete by selection bug I would be happy enough with the native app, but that was making the phone unusable. Plus I discovered I can't save an mms picture to SD card even though I've got 1+ gigabyte free space (but only 4%). That was a bit annoying :-D
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
That's weird, I have less than 3% (2.6% to be precise) left on my SD card & can save attachments no bother.

What happens with the 'delete by selection' bug?
[HTC Desire S] marsexpress:
The delete by selection bug I refer to is when you press the backspace key and the phone jumps to the delete text message by selection screen for that current conversation thread. You keep pressing backspace and it just jumps back to the same screen. It's a fairly well documented problem. With the stock keyboard it occurred maybe once every 10 SMS, with the Gingerbread keyboard I'm using it was happening nearly every txt. Seems to happen particularly when you begin composing in portrait then switch to landscape.

Do i need to wipe when flashing a CM7 nightly if coming from a stable build such as 7.0.0.3?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMinor205:
Wipe before, then after you flash. That's what I did when i used CM7. If i didn't wipe after flashing, it wouldn't load up. It would just keep looping the boot screen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMinor205:
Off topic, but I don't really see the point of using CM7. It doesn't use the Sense interface, which is the best part of owning an HTC phone. It takes away from the whole experience, and pretty much reverts back to the MotoDroid. IMO!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2776902:
Some of us don't like sense, and prefer AOSP ROMs. Personally, I feel sense slows the whole phone down. At least for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
The OP of the nightly thread has a lot of good info, including the answer to this.

I concur. It's all a matter of personal preference, mainly.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
/off topic

I'd have to say I like Sense just not the Sense Launcher, I just swap it with Launcher Pro. I know that's the main part of Sense, but there's a few bits that just run smoother in Sense than any of the AOSP ROM's.

I do like CM7 but I'm turned away from it because of the constant updates and changes. If I flash it I want to be able to keep it that way for a while, not realizing there's a few annoying bugs then flash again, and new bugs appear.

CM7 team are hugely awesome in the development of the Android OS but I just don't like it as a daily because of the fluid stream of bugs - fixed - new bugs.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredomkillz:
Hey everyone I'm kinda new to the whole kernel flashing business and I'm trying to flash the UV Trinity kernel to my Nexus S. From what I've read I only need to flash the zip from recovery without having to do any sort of wiping. The main problem when I tried this is that the phone went into a boot loop and wouldn't go past the boot animation for the kernel. I'm not sure if it's because the kernel is based off of 2.3.4 and I'm currently running CM-7.0.3. Morfic's thread indicated that the kernel was made for CM7 so I don't know what's going wrong here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treUse:
You have a ROM based on 2.3.3, meaning it's not compatible with a kernel made for 2.3.4.

Try flashing the latest cm7 and then the kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredomkillz:
Would it work if I tried a CM7 variant that's based off of the 2.3.4 source? I'm going for a stable phone and unsure about the nightly builds at this point. If not I'll probably just wait CM to update and release the rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it should work on any 2.3.4 cm based roms.
[HTC Sensation] zakool21:
I bet I'm not the only person with this problem, but I have a brand new Sensation with a buzzing speaker. I've taken the cover off and looked for hairs in the grille and whatnot, to no avail. I even took off the protective sticker to see if that helped anything... nope.

The problem gets worse as the volume goes up.

I bought this from of someone on Craigslist who was selling a couple of them, new in box (he had bought them at Wal-Mart). Should I contact HTC?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Yes. It should be coveted under warranty irregardless of where you bought it from as the device itself is only a month old. They do not need proof of purchase

Swyped from my HTC Sensation Pyramid using my thumb and eyes
[HTC Sensation] zakool21:
Thanks -- Talked to both HTC and T-Mobile.

HTC said they would repair it if I sent it in. T-Mobile said that I needed the phone to show up on my account (I only bought it last night) before they could determine warranty info, and that I'd be better of getting the receipt (which I don't have) and taking it back to the store it was purchased from.

However, I took the liberty of taking the back casing off, taking the speaker protective sticker off, and blowing some air into the speaker area. That seems to have fixed the problem and it looks like I won't have to send them the phone after all.
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
I also have a buzzing noise. A first device I had was producing such a strong buzzing that I asked for an exchange. The second one is only producing this noise on certain calls and gets worse when increasing the volume. I an also wiling to try to clean buy I fear to void warranty by removing the sticker.
[HTC Sensation] zakool21:
The sticker comes off very easily with a razor blade and is very easily replaceable. Remember, you're only removing a grille speaker, not the "void" sticker. Nobody could possibly be any the wiser.
[HTC Sensation] Takeshi_Kintaro:
Have not solved the issue for me. :(
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
That is very bad news. I was hoping that was the solution.
[HTC Sensation] eadred:
Crap, I swapped a pretty good working sensation having dust for a sensation having no dust but with a massive buzzing noise when having a conversation. Right now, I hate htc.
