Do I just flash this or do I need to flash CM7 first?
[Vibrant Android Development] zbt1985:
hmmmm good question...not sure. try flashing this, if it doesn't work you could always odin...or u could flash cm7 then this...just read the cm7 thread about flashing cm7 for the first time and see what they say...
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
Can you look into that for me? At the moment I am having issues with getting Odin to see my phone after I boot it into download mode. If I do not have to go back to stock, then I do not have any problem just flashing this ROM.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to convert my 720p videos to play on the Xoom but without much success.

What I'm using is:

ffmpeg -i /mnt/Movies/MyMovie.mkv -threads 4 -vcodec libx264 -b 2048k -vpre medium -vpre baseline -f mp4 MyMovie.mp4

Xoom refuses to use Hardware decoding mode, software decoding is fine but the sound is choppy. What are your settings? I dont want to install hanbrake.

Thank you.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Grab the most current ffmpeg and use 'x264opts' settings. It now allows x264cli presets.

From your params, you're encoding in 1-pass CBR, which is guaranteed to be crappy. Either use 2-pass, or better, use one-pass w/ CRF.

Where is your -acodec param? Do you have a ffmpeg w/ libfaac?

HI guys,

i just discovered that my trackball is scrolling, but isn't selecting anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Normally i dont use my trackball much, but now i really need it because of clockworkmod.:)
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonpaz:
I currently have a HTC Hero and an ASUS Transformer.

Currently I have a seperate google account for each, and I dont mind them being seperate but I have a google beta account on my Transformer and I would like to use that on my new EVO3d.

Does anybody know if I will have app sync issues or device issues if I use the same account on my TF and my EVO3D?

Thanks in advance,

Brandon

You can use as many gmail accounts as you want. I don't know if the apps that you purchased will be available on all of them though.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
No problems at all....i use the same account on my evo4g and nook color, but run cm7 and when I change my wallpaper on my phone it changes on my nook....sometimes...lol...works flawlessly otherwise...

[HTC EVO 3D] Buff McBigstuff:
I used the same account on my Evo and my Nook Color and had no issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
I use the same account on my Transformer and Evo 4g. The Evo is using CM7 so it actually uses google backup and doesn't interfere with the backup on the Transformer. In fact why would you want to use separate accounts? That means you'd have to buy apps twice and stuff. Since the Evo has a sense overlay google doesn't backup everything it would on a stock install of Android.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cicatrize:
I use the same account on my nook color, Evo 4G, and my Xoom with zero issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonpaz:
I was worried since the Transformer uses Honeycomb 3.1 and my Hero was on cm7 2.3 that I would have application conflicts or maybe it would try to download applications that would not work on one device or the other.

Thanks for the reply this is exactly what I am looking for!

[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Is it normal for the battery to take 8 hours to charge? My fascinate would take about 2, the battery on this thing drains faster than it charges! Love the phone, but is this normal?
[LG Revolution] ivalum21:
I've noticed it takes a while to charge mine too...granted, not 8 hours. But more like 3-4, which still sucks.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Ya, I plugged mine in 3 hours ago and am only at 38%.
[LG Revolution] navycow:
Check the amps on the charger. USB from the computer is usually 500mA. The charger that comes with it, and most others are 1A. If you can find a 2A charger go for it. you can get one that was for the ipad that is 2A.
[LG Revolution] crt_ben:
My experience so far is it charges approximately 20% per hour on a Motorola 850mA wall charger. Really slow compared to my OG Droid which seemed like it would fully charge from nearly dead in about 90 minutes on the same charger.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
With the wall charger I can full charge from 20% in 1 to 2 hours. I never charge more than 2 hours to get full.

USB takes longer but not that much. 3hrs maybe.
[LG Revolution] drutman:
Battery Charging Issues

I do fuel cell research and we deal with rechargeable batts. There is a drawback with rapid charging it generates heat and shortens lifespan. Be very careful with exceeding the manufact. specs on amperage. I have seen packs explode and burn when current overload protection fails.

My batt life is about 8 hrs after I deep discharged/charged for a few cycles and the charge time is quicker now. My Rev stays cool unlike my flashed Omnia 910.

I will not be too surprised if LG issues a software fix.

In the dawn of the smart-phone one has to accept short battery life and deal with ac chargers, I do on a daily basis. Only so much energy can be stored in a small form battery.
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
Through USB, it takes me about 8-9 hours to charge, and if thats if the alarm doesn't go off on it. Bad news if it does because its either stop charging, or draining because I wake up sometimes a couple hours after a certain alarm and only have 38% battery.

Even on the wall, it takes too long to charge. The time it takes me to charge sucks.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Takes about 8hrs tops for me from dead on USB. However on the wall charger it only takes me 2 hours from dead. But i usually plug it in around 15% so really about 1hr 45min on average with the wall.

I tend to do the USB when i sleep though because as far as battery tech goes, the slower the charge the longer the battery will last(life wise, not throughout the day charge wise)
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Just to give an update, my frustration level with my phone of 6 hour discharge and 8 hour charge times I decided to root, cwm, and decrapify it. Instant difference! After 1 day I put my phone on the charger at 8:30 last night with 1% battery left, it was fully charged by 10:30. Took it off of the charger at 10:30 last night and it is now 5:00 pm and I am still at 25%! This is with moderate usage, 4g on the whole time, Beautiful Widgets w/auto updating weather and location, Plume widget, Facebook widget, Youtube widget, and plenty of XDA scanning. If you haven't done so, I highly recommend the upgrades!

I hope I posted this in the right section. I'm currently using an unlocked at&t atrix on tmobile.

Dsiclaimer: Sorry for the wall of text.

Hello everyone, I just got my new SGS2! Since I'm upgrading from the Nexus One, a phone I never felt I needed to root as it was so good by default. I realize I have A LOT to learn from you guys!

I have a set of questions for the SGS2 and heard most can be solved by root

1. Can someone point me to a) a video for Morons ; b) a guide with pictures explaining step by step how to root the Smy SGS2 running:

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XXKF2-CL253204 se.infra@sep-35 #2

Build: GINGERBREAD.XXKF2

2. I've noticed the SGS2 has issues playing games designed for the nvidia tegra 2 chips. I heard CF3D can fix it. Where can I find it? Side install? Are people happy with it? Shall I better wait for developpers to update their games?

3. I already changed the standard launcher for Federico's LauncherPro. However, I find myself longing for the calendar, the frame & running applications widgets. Will Root give me any possibilities to use these again?

4. The standard music application is kinda ok but its bugs and limitations made me switch back to Playerpro. Will root provide me with the ability to have a proper screen lock widget (playerpro sucks in this aspect).

5. The gallery app always displays thumbnails of all my albums (darn it!) I heard of the .nomedia idea, as well as some apps. Can someone tell me which apps are the best for removing artists and albums thumbnails from the gallery while still displaying them within the music app? Alternatively, what is the best alternative to the standard android gallery (uh 3D.... yeah I dont care, gimme grid view)?

I would like to apologise if this needs to be contained in many different threads.

I will follow this thread closely as I am really looking forward to your answers. You don't have to answer everything, but if you could provide with at least some answers I will be sooooo grateful: I want to make the best possible use of this nice display :)

Cheers

JC

p.s. I know the answers to all my questions is not to rub a magnet back and forth over my computer's hard drive :p

I just got a call from radio shack confirming that I was still on for the 24th. So this means that they must be getting in their shipments. I was told that I could come in at 8am on friday to pick up. They usually open at 9am so they must be doing pre-orders before they open. not sure on that. But anyway.

on a side note:

I went to my local sprint store today and the CS there had a evo 3d to play with. I am very excited for this phones arrival. I think the the camera quality is good. Its not any worse than the evo 4g, I have to wait til fri to go in depth with it but I feel 100% positive about using my upgrade for this phone. Also when in portrait the parallax barrier has no effect on the screen, being, I could not detect it even being there. In landscape I had the same result.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxtc714:
radio shack already has them in

I went to my local radio shack yesterday. The manager just happens to be my friend because I rooted his and his wife's phones. But anyways he showed me the phone and I was able to look at one and hold it. Unfortunately they sku isn't in there system yet so he couldn't sell it to me yet but he will contact me as soon as he can if it's before Friday. Ill keep you radioshakers posted as soon as I know. But they are definitely there already.
[HTC EVO 3D] filebug:
yeah i just got confirmation my local RS has 15 of them and all the cases and screen protecters. mine got them into about a hour ago
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Called my RS earlier and spoke to the manager. They're not opening early but he said since I was first on the list, to come by 15min before opening...so 9:45 for me. I wish the HTC kickstand case was out for Friday but it looks like we won't see it til July :(
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
Picking mine up on Friday from RS too! Gonna be the best lunch break I've ever had from work.
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
Hell yeah, I unfortunately have to work also, but not till 3pm. Then I have sat sun off to play with the beast! It will be hard not to get yelled at for playing with my phone to much on friday. The only reason ill get yelled at will be because they are jealous Iphone sheep, that dont like other ppls phone to be better.
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
Dude! Radioshack called me yesterday to set up an appointment.

The guy who called me told me he contacted Sprint for me and got my upgrade pushed forward (originally not till Sep. 1st), so I get my 3D for 100$ after turning in my old Evo. I was looking to spend around $500. Bonus!

Radioshack (or at least this employee) just made my experience with them sweeter than I could imagine. Definitely tipping this dude $40 +.

Can't wait till Friday, thanks Radioshack!
[HTC EVO 3D] notoriousguy:
Well I called the Radio Shack here in Miami and they are opening at 6 in the morning . I wonder why tho. I'm guessing a lot of people Pre-Order it . He told me I wouldn't be getting a phone . Lol that got me scared . He told me only people that Pre-Order it will be getting one . I told him I was the second person who did pre-order . I'm be there at 5:30 in the morning . Can't wait .
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
If you can upgrade on Friday, go to Sprint cause they give $150 trade in plus you get to keep ur SD card and cables.
[HTC EVO 3D] notoriousguy:
So i also just got call back from Radio Shack . The guy told me he had me for 7 am . I told him o don't you guys open at 6 a.m and he's like yea . Then I will be getting it at that time . I told him I was planning on getting there at 5:30 a.m . he was like WOW . I almost told him WTF you mean WOW . Been waiting for this phone ever since Rumors were flying around . So in all he was like ok come at 6 .. Can't wait
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
They called me Monday asking when I would be there to pick up the phone. I asked when did they open, he said 8, I said ill be outside when you unlock the door. :D

lol i said the same thing to my local BB. Sure to be looking up like an excited dog waiting for a treat every time i see someone walk by the door.

Giving up my spot and keeping the Evo.

Edit: You know... just called and found that there's no risk for giving it a try for 30 days, so I just might do that. Hmm. Decisions. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
Hmmmm, thanks for the info! Sprint told me $100, then they told me they weren't accepting any old Evos. I don't know if anyone working there knows whats going on, so I swayed away from them. And, I already bought a no refundable gift card from RadioShack, so I might as well use it I guess.

Thanks though :)
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Just don't sell or trade in the Evo like a lot of people did.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
No way. Plan to keep it until I'm sure I am sticking.

oh and If I decide to take the 3d back ima get the nexus s. its pretty sexy. but I think ill be way to happy with the evo 3d,
[HTC EVO 3D] J3STUR:
So Wednesday, RS call me and(i didnt pre-order or anything yet) said I have an upgrade and we have three evo 3ds up here for pre-order. I said I am only eligible for a half upgrade, and he said well if you came in and preorder will will give you the full upgrade, then i asked him how much for trade in and he said $158. So I went to RS today and pre-order the evo 3d late and he gave me an early upgrade. Thats $42 buck for the evo 3d, early upgrade, Im happy with that!

Do you think we'll ever see a real Google Chrome browser on the Xoom / Honeycomb in the future?

http://www.geek.com/articles/gadget...ndroid-3-1-fishtank-20110622/google_tv_2_001/

looking at the article above it probably is possible as Google TV 2.0 has a Chrome app... would be a great browser if so - the xoom browser does seem to borrow heavily from it already imo, with some nice tweaks (like the quick control)
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
My guess is that its a lot easier to port Chrome to the Google TV since the Google TV's processor is x86 and not ARM.
[Xoom General] foxmeister:
Not really.

Remember the Chromebooks are all currently ARM based too, so I don't think the processor architecture is significant here.

Regards,

Dave
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
I thought Atom was x86?

Edit: yeah, I guess you can build ChromeOS for ARM, but there aren't any ARM Chromebooks yet.
[Xoom General] slateac:
Chromebooks aren't ARM based, they are running on Intel Atom.

But they did say that Google TV will have ARM, so Chrome might come to Honeycomb (more likely Ice Cream)
[Xoom General] foxmeister:
Oops - I just assumed that the "commercial" Chromebooks were ARM based (as opposed to the CR-48) as I read an article a couple of months ago saying that ARM based Chromebooks were imminent.

That being said, Ubuntu Netbook Edition for ARM ships with the Chromium browser as the default browser and since this is essentially Chrome, my point on architecture still holds water! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
I know that Android / Chrome OS are being kept as separate entities in the Google world, but it does make me wonder if they are planning on joining Chrome Browser into Android, I haven't really looked but I am pretty sure it'll be the stock browser on Chrome OS already?

I suppose it's also the next step in moving google apps to be away from the Android OS and part of an update from Market style...

e.g. Google Maps, You Tube, Google Mail (GMail), Voice Search, Google Search etc. are all apps in the Android Market that can be downloaded (or not)...
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
There is a big difference between running Chrome on a netbook with lots of ram and an almost completely unrestricted OS that can run native code and running on Android. To get chrome on Android it would have to run on Dalvik, and therefore be re-written in Java, the interface would have to be completely rewritten and the rendering engine would have to be re-worked to fit within the memory constraints of the virtual machine. I'm sure the GoogleTV says 'Chrome' but I doubt that's what it is.

It's not happening anytime soon.
[Xoom General] foxmeister:
The main part of Chrome, the rendering engine, is Webkit and this also the native Android rendering engine.

Android also already has the same V8 JavaScript engine too, so for the most part the stock browser is Chrome with a different UI.

I don't see any reason why they couldn't rewrite the UI to be more desktop Chrome-like and call it Chrome, even if it necessarily more streamlined.

Regards,

Dave
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
Its fairly easy to see the stock browser on xoom is similar if only borrowed from chrome with style--- I think so anyway
[Xoom General] foxmeister:
The main thing it is missing (probably) is the sandboxing that desktop Chrome offers, but I guess this is probably too heavy on a tablet.

Regards,

Dave
[Android Apps and Games] xplus93:
My question is if kwaak3 is compatible with games that were built on the quake 3 arena engine. Mainly star trek voyager: elite force. I own this game and haven't played it in a while, and thought it would be fun to put on my phone since it more powerful than the computer I originally played it on, a p3 1ghz with a tnt2. Anybody know if it works or willing to help me port it would be great
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
It might run mods for Q3. If that is a standalone game with a different exe I dont think kwaak3 supports that.

[HD2 General] kliu78:
OK so recently, I've been noticing lower speeds on my HD2. On the status bar, the icon shows E as opposed to 3G or H, which is what I used to get.

Here's some background: I have a T-Mobile HTC HD2. I bought it in April 2010, close to when it came out. I'm running Android on the NAND. I live near Minneapolis and know for a fact that I should get 3G almost anywhere in the city and surrounding suburbs...

I opened the My Account app and it says I have about 250mb out of my Unlimited data. My first thought was whether or not I was being throttled, but if that's the case, I should still be able to get a 3G connection right?

Do you guys have any thoughts as to what is happening?
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
hey. i live in mpls. have the same phone, same radio, same rom. i get 3g most of the time; but i do get edge. this happened on WM too. did you notice a change recently? i haven't - had the same signal for past year or so. when this happened before i called tmo; they did credit me and gave me a line of bs about fixing something or other...
[HD2 General] p107r0:
If everything is ok on your carrier side, then try checking settings of your device - 3G can be enabled/disabled in Settings.

The easiest way to do this is provided in hint 60 of this post
[HTC EVO 3D] Fadakar:
Is there any way to get the constantly updated beta instead rather than the preinstalled one? They usually advise you against installing if it came preinstalled, but then it's not the newest version. :(

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light1984:
Hey all,

I was wondering if there is an easy way to change the file permission on the widget.txt file found in /system/customize. I want to change the sync button on the pull down menu to brightness but can't right now because the file is read only. I have searhed, but have not been able to find the right fix. I am running BAMF stripped 1.8 with one of ZHP's battery icon mods. I tried setting the system to write mode in BAMF toolkit, but that didn't work. I use ADAO file manager for file browsing and unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to long press and change permissions. Is there code I can use in terminal emulator to change the permission? I would like to make the change on the phone but I am not against using adb if I have to.

Thanks

You probably have to remount /system with read/write permissions. Root explorer is the easiest way but if you don't want to pay for the app, you can use terminal emulator.
