[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hmmm

Do you have a TMOUS OR EU/international phone?

What was the sequence of events leading up to your ROM freezing?

What HSPL?

Task 29?

What radio?

Install magldr or clk?

Did you flash CWM...what size?

Did you wipe data,cache partition,dalvik?

Did you install a ROM for magldr or clk?(not previously,what did you do this time?)

You know,a little history can help someone to help you.

Attitude won't!

[Nook Color General] joeinternet:
Is the nook color limited to 65K colors? This seems to be an issue for some android phones, and I'm wondering if the NC has the same issue. I certainly notice it on mine whether running stock, CM7 or phiremod.

To test for yourself, load this image:

http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/press/spirit/20050610a/sunset_a489_gamma_2sub_800.jpg

You'll likely notice banding in the areas where the sunlight fades. Is mine defective, or are they all like this?

My old eris, running CM7 has a similar issue, but it's better at dithering the image than the nook (more likely a result of a smaller screen).

Some discussions point to the default 3d gallery limiting to 16-bit color for performance, and other discussions say Gingerbread is supposed to switch between 32 and 16 bit color on the fly for OpenGL and standard 2D rendering.

I did search the forums, and found the following threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14665031

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126542

So it looks like others are noticing the issue. Are there any known workarounds, or are we stuck with this?
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Two things:

1. The overclock kernel is 16bit on purpose to help gaming performance. If you overclock you are stuck at 16bits period.

2. In stock Froyo/Stock CM7 most programs still just show things in 16bit (like the default Gallery program). Here is an app that does 24bit for pictures:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&hl=en

For videos there is no "solution" except to accept it.
[Nook Color General] joeinternet:
Thanks for the response.

I wasn't running the overclock kernel, just the standard one that ships with CM7 Nightly. Regardless, the same issue was present running stock 1.2.

I had tried QuickPic with the same results - maybe there's still banding in the image under 24 bit and that's what I'm seeing?

It's understandable about switching to 16 when doing 3D for performance, it's just a shame such a beautiful display is limited for 2D image viewing.
[Nook Color General] popsnorkle:
I looked at that picture and didn't really see what you were taking about banding. Then I tried to download it to view it with QuickPic. I was using Opera Mobile and I couldn't figure out how to save the file so I tried FireFox and it looked awful. I managed to save with Opera mini,which also looked okay. QuickPic looked horrible, with lots of banding. PerfectViewer looked good.

I'm using FroYo on SD. I tried the OC kernel but went back because I wasn't really using it and I wanted to see if the color depth mattered. It seems like its hard to tell what's doing what. Is QuickPic really 24 bit?
[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
Okay so I have a feeling there is a simple fix bit I've tried everything I know on how to fix this. I have ringtones on my memory card that was working find on my Evo 4G and now that I have my 3D it will not let me set them as a ringtone. It doesn't even show up in the list of ringtones like it used too. I can play them in the file explorer that I have but it the option to apply as ringtones doesn't work. the files are .ogg

[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
do they make u jealous??

no, the development section, in very broad terms, is more about furthering our phones capabilities via roots and roms. not really a place to ask questions, unless those questions relate relate to rooting or roms you are making. in general, :) if you're unsure, the q&a section is where you should go before here.

If you think that this "noob" question is such a waste of space. Please almighty professional modder give me a solution to this problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
Did you do the OTA update? And what did you do to get it working. I've had the same setup since my G1 and the ringtones have always been in the list.

[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
Okay well like I said a few posts after I didn't realize I posted in the wrong forum and if you check Q&A I went there afterwards. So calm down and if this post bothers you so bad why don't you go stalk the other forums and attack all the other posts that should be elsewhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] SSaxman:
Get a file explorer like Astro and then create a folder on your sd card called "media" (no quotes). In that folder, create a folder called "ringtones" (no quotes) and put your custom ringtones in it. They should then show up in the list of available ringtones. Do the same for a "notifications" folder (no quotes).
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Ok well I gave it a shot here is what I did:

Created the following folders on my SDCard:

/media/audio/ringtones

Note:

All lower case

added files

rebooted

worked first time no issues, both .mp3 and .ogg files.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Unmount SD remount SD or reboot. Also maybe you should actually read the rules. The rules keep the forums clean, so that devs can communicate and modify effectively. It also makes for easier bug reports and general device advancement. Posting in the wrong section without reading and searching is not only a hindrance to the purpose of this site (it's called xda-developers) but it is also grossly disrespectful to those actually developing or assisting. You are being flamed for this reason and this reason alone. You are not being flamed for fun, please don't take it that way. There really ought to be no more posts in this thread. And a moderator should move this. Have a good day :)

BANG! from my shooter...
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
He has already been through the ringer about the rules he gets it. Until a mod moves this why not try and help him or if your a mod why don't you move it. Otherwise thanks for another lecture maybe you should have looked at the thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
Have you done the OTA update by any chance. That is the only thing I can think that is making this not work.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Yes I have done all of the updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] bleedblaqk336:
Just thought I would post that i fixed the issue. For some weird reason I had to format my memory card and put everything back on it so my phone would recognize the folders I had created.

Can anyone suggest an App Lock that does not request insane permissions?

sorry, pal.

Kids are waaay smarter than any adult ;)

being serious, sorry, I don't know :|
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Quis89:
Uninstalling the app would remove the lock. But I would assume you could use the app to lock your settings menu and the market which would prevent the app from being uninstalled. As far as an app....idk. I never really paid attention to the permissions these apps request. Guess I should.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] schnowdapowda:
I use application protection. It supports pattern lock... I don't know about permissions though.

cd's or tapes?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cmckee.cna:
I'm just wondering about an app that would change the ringtones and message tones based on location... I.e. when your at work, you want work appropriate ringtones and when ur not at work they go back to normal... I've tried profile changers (smarter profiles) that are wifi based, but it doesn't change the tones, just the volume..... any ideas?

Maybe something like Settings Profile? I have the paid version and it works very well.

As the topic suggests, what is the best photo you've managed to capture on your Galaxy S 2?!

Examples would be great.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
I'm not proficient with photography by any means, but these came out pretty good for a phone camera. I'm starting to find the following:

1) Low light pictures don't look good at all, seems this camera really needs a good amount of light to put out decent looking pictures. But, many standalone point and shoot digital cams have issues with low light as well, so this isn't all that shocking.

2) Pictures taken with flash look really off colorwise sometimes. Many times, the pictures come out with a blueish purple hue.

3 pictures: Macro, close range, and medium to far away.
[Galaxy S II General] total360:
Awesome pics, finding the same with low light, not with the flash issue though. Well I recently went to my sister's wedding and took what has been said to be the best photo of the happy couple...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
I read threads here that some tabs are locked and some are not. So how do people with locked tabs get their tabs unlocked? is it only can be done by samsung itself.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kevin Gossett:
What are you wanting to unlock it for?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LordLugard:
Doesn't unlocking allow for rooting? From the few rooting guides I've come across, the unlocked ones can be rooted whereas the locked ones can't. For me the only thing I need to root for it to do the adhoc wpa supplicant fix.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
Are you having any problem connecting to adhoc wifi? i did nothing to the tab and still i can see the adhoc wifi source and can use it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LordLugard:
Thats unlikely. Android in general has a problem with adhoc wifi. What device do you have or is your tab connecting to?

In my case i have a Treo Pro with wmwifirouter and since my Tab does not see theadhoc network it creates, i use bluetooth tethering instead.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
Believe me its working with iphone i have used outside of home maybe tab is compatible with iphone? I haven't tried the bluetooth tethering i will check that now and will post you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kevin Gossett:
You can still root with a locked boot loader... See here

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:

Are you using the built-in iPhone wifi tethering feature or a jailbroken tethering app?

Locked bootloader

Near as I can tell, only Samsung has the encryption keys to allow unlocking the bootloader. It doesn't seem to be necessary though, I got my locked tablet rooted so, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

kevin i wanted to know just because the first tab i got was locked the replacement i got is unlocked so i just want to make sure it is not a returned item. I thought someone own it before and unlock it and sent back to bb or samsung for some reason. It's good to know that there is no way someone can unlock it and in that case the one i have is new.

Nevermind Windows itself, the software won't work anyway until (if) they make an arm version of it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] abezapata:
Hey guys,

I am from the Captivate forums and I was wondering if the roms for the droid charge have usb tethering and mobile hotpsot enabled out of the box with the current custom roms. I know Verizon is providing their mobile hotspot capabilities for a short term but I would really like to get some tethered 4G speeds without having to pay for separate hotspot capabilities.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shortbusdriver:
I'm running GummyCharged 1.8.1 with the pbj lagfix kernel, and while there is not exactly a built in tethering app I was able to easily install PdaNet for usb tethering. I also downloaded Open Garden WiFi for my mobile hotspot alternative app which seems to work well. Verizon's built in tethering garbage is just plain ridiculously overpriced.
[Verizon Droid Charge] slmhofy:
You thinking about jumping from att to verizon for the LTE lock in? That's exactly what I'm planning on doing either today or tomorrow. Don't you just love how easy it is to usb or wireless tether with our Captivates and custom roms?!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
To USB tether, you can purchase EZ Tether (~ $10USD), or you can root and run this free app: Google Code Wired Tether

For Wireless Tethering, it's a little trickier - mostly because of the Wifi Access Point / Ad Hoc connection issue. I have heard that if you download this free app: Google Code Wifi Tether, and configure for the Samsung Fascinate, it will work fine. Haven't tested it yet, though.

Cheers,
[Verizon Droid Charge] abezapata:
Yeah that is exactly what I feel like doing, but I will probably keep my Captivate activated just in case because I still have AT&ts unlimited data plan. Yeah that is the reason I was asking becasue everything is baked into our custom roms and they inlcude all of the mods anyone could ever ask for.

I would never pay a seperate fee for wireless tethering to any wireless carrier especially if I already am paying for the data plan. Wireless providers are just too greedy at times *cough*tiered data plans*cough*

Thanks for the responses guys. I hope the custom roms on this phone one day are up to par with what I have come to expect from the Captivate forums.

Also I read that Verizon has been cracking down on wireless accounts that use third party tethering apps. Can anyone confirm this or point me to a reliable source?
[Verizon Droid Charge] slmhofy:
Hey, if you get a chance, can you shoot me a PM. I got a couple questions for you and I think I can't send PMs or something.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RichardZu:
everything is about to change. On July 7th est, there is be tiered data plans for verizon. 2gb for 29.99, 5 gb for 50 and 10 gb 80. So if your not already on the unlimited than you will not have unlimited more. sucky
[Verizon Droid Charge] mattybaby:
Is there a fix to get android-wired-tether working on the charge?

I am running GummyCharged 1.8.1. I installed the wired_tether_1_4.apk, ran it, accepted root permission, but got the "Unsupported Kernel" popup. The adp-1_6-kernel-update_usbtether_r3.zip will not install as clockwork states it is outdated.

Is there a fix to get android-wired-tether working on the charge? I know pdanet/easytether/klink work, but are paid apps.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
@mrxhack - You are correct. I forgot that the SamChg won't run on the Google Code Wired Tether app. I like EasyTether, though - It works great, and doesn't cost too much. Try the free version first, to see if it works well with GC.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall316:
Can anybody help me?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrkGhst87:
I came from Nameless v4.1 and have a thread in Q and A that answers this but I'll tell ya how, it's basically the same steps since I odined back to stock.

Make sure that you have Andmer's latest miui build on the root of your SD card. Then assuming you already use the latest recovery (I had time's blue recovery) , wipe the big 3 (data, cache, delvik) > install from SD card > choose the miui rom > have a little patience > profit.

For me it did the count down 4 times before it actually mounted and finished the install. I don't know if the size of the SD card effects it in any way, concidering I'm only using a 4g, but it may take awhile. Again these are the steps I took and I haven't had any problems other than the one's already stated.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall316:
Yeah when it was doing the countdown I let it go before for about a half hour and it still list kept doing it and I had to Odin back to stock again. I didn't have the rom on the root of the SD card, I had it in a folder entitled root that I put all my roms on. I don't know if that would really make a difference
