FYI, you can set the processing power from inside the boot menu. While its booting up, press the volume down when the blue led comes on. Then select cpu and change the max from 1000mhz to 900mhz

Ok so have been on vacation and and am just back to all the progress made. I failed installing the nandroid backup for cm7. I .sbf then copied cm7 .zip to sdcsrd/clockworkmod/backup then wiped cash and factory reset using bandroidx cmw and selected install .zip from sdcard-> backup-> nandroid. it starts installing and then just hangs I let it try to install for 30 min and finally pulled battery. it booted into stock fine but don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions?
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
All you want to do is, boot into cwm, wipe data/cache, and restore the nandroid you unzipped and put in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/.

You don't install the zip, you restore the nandroid inside the zip.
[Bravo Android Development] sdrawkcab3:
I've spent the last couple hours trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I'm just stumped. I've restored the CM7 nandroid backup, installed and enabled 2ndInit (so I can flash GAPPs)...but every time I try to Reboot [Normal], I hang at a blank (but backlit) screen.

I can get back into BootMenu, but I cannot boot back into CM7 after installing and enabling 2ndInit. If I set BootMenu Default boot to normal, I hang at the red M. I'm going to bed, but hopefully someone can identify my problem :confused:

Do I absolutely need 2ndInit to install GAPPs? I assumed that I do.

Edit: Woke up with a new brain. That CM7 Nandroid has a bootloader - I used that to flash GAPPs, no problem :)
[Bravo Android Development] MCFarmfresh:
Awesome thanks for the clairifaction. I extracted to the proper directory and all was good. Don't know how I missed that step. It it doesn't matter because cm7 is rocking on the bravo and I'm just getting to take it for a spin. Will post back in the morning..... :)
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Yes the nandroid has everything already installed except GAPPs. The bootloader is included in the nandroid.
[Bravo Android Development] MCFarmfresh:
Is the signal fix included in the cm7 nandroid? Cuz I didn't do it but have full bars and good service?!? Also can someone tell me where the android market is?? Sorry haven't had alot of time to play with this yet... thanks
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Restore the nandroid then install gapps while still in bandroidx recovery. I did wwhat u did and restored in bandroidx then 2nd init to flash gapps and I bricked. Do it all in cwm

[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Yes the signal fix is included inside the nandroid. To get the market you need to install GAPPs

restore nandroid, boot into cm7, reboot and go into the 2nd init bootmenu (press volume down when blue led comes on), select recovery> custom recovery>stable, then install gapps.
[Bravo Android Development] MCFarmfresh:
K thanks all. Will do when I get off and am home.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Moving slightly off topic, has a MIUI backup been posted, or do we install that the normal way, or is it not worth installing anyway

[Bravo Android Development] MCFarmfresh:
Ok got market through titanium backup but what at all does gapps provide? Do i still need to install it? Thanks
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
Gapps is short for Google Apps. If you want everything to work (including Market) you will want to install it. You download the zip then reboot to cwm to install, and after it reboots it will ask for your Google login and all to complete.
[Bravo Android Development] MCFarmfresh:
Oic well that makes sense. Thanks. For the info!
[Bravo Android Development] MCFarmfresh:
Last question I promise. How do u enter custom recovery once on cm7? Do we still use bsndroidx custom recovery?
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
No. When you reboot and see the Moto symbol, wait for a blue light to flash on the top of your phone and press the down volume button once you see it and it takes you into cwm recovery.

Anyone else having text sms problems? I send a text and any reply I get comes from the future. Today is the 15th and I have a conversation with my wife where my last message sent is way up in the conversation window cuz the texts she has sent me since, the time stamp say they are coming from the 16 and my message last sent is from 15. To make things simple I am getting texts from peeps that is coming into my device as 12 hours or so in the future. Idk what is the problem. any suggesting?
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
You just go into the wifi area and connect to the AT&T network thatis available. After that go to the browser and agree to the terms andyou are connected. The app just did this automatically for you.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
everything for me seems to work perfect except the camera of course and half the time I'm on full edge I can't use data except like google talk. Sites never connect and xda takes ages and ages to process data. this happens when I switch to edge and when I switch off 3g.. makes the phone almost useless where I'm staying right now

If you open the camera app and wait, it will have a fc popup. But I found out that if you wipe the camera app's data, you get a different error: cannot connect to camera.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Fyi, defy nighties are running fine on the bravo. All you have to do (if you are already on cm7) is download the latest, reboot recovery, wipe cache, install zip. (I didn't have to redo signal fix:D)

New nighties add some features like cm screenshot and reboot normal/recovery/bootloader from the power menu.

Sent from my CM7 Motorola Bravo
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
So I found out someone successfully ported CM7 to the Backflip. I tried it out and everything works great on it. Seeing that, I am sure there has to be some fix for the camera. I tried what Jorg had done, and if it does that, that means there is some data file that gives information on the camera so that it can work. If you look behind the FC message, you do see that the camera app does come up after wiping the data, but as the message says it just doesn't have the info for the camera.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
We just need to ask the dev what he did with the camera

Sent from my CM7 Motorola Bravo
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Already asked twice. No reply.
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
After reading and thinking, we need to figure out about the driver for the camera and how to install it and configure the phone to use it. I was thinking how they used the image basically for the Cliq to port to the Backflip (yes, that has a fully functional port, although I noticed they didn't get multi-touch to work in CM7) but they both had the same camera also, which means probably same driver. The Bravo has a 3 megapixal camera unlike alot of other Motorola phones so it would be safe to think it would use a different camera driver and give these errors. Anyone know anything on how these drivers work, and if so we may be able to get it from somewhere?
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Yes, we have known this. It's just a matter of how to do this and what files to add, and then what other files to edit to make read off of those libs...it really isn't something easy and nobody here seems to have the time or knowledge to get the camera to work.
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
Any other device with 3 mp camera on gingerbread?

Ramdisk edit.. liboemcamera libvorbidesec for camcorder. Mediaprofiles.. build prop may have edits for camera.. camera apk

It would be easier to find miui or cm7 builds from a device .. even if its not Motorola ... where camera works and port it then use a defy port

Getting signal. Sdcard. Wife. Sound. Sensors to work is easy
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
Getting your "wife" to work on your phone is actually a lot harder then you think ;-) I was actually thinking that would work, I am just not that great with knowing the ins and outs of the android system yet, and figured cameras are standard drivers as long as you have the correct one for the correct resolution. Then we just need to get all the configuration files from the stock over to the custom ROM's over to finish the job and create an actual port that correctly reflects that it is for the Bravo not the Defy.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rmanyari:
Hi developers!

I'm +- new to android and was wondering if it's possible to change

only part

of the text color in a EditText widget... Actually i'm making a notepad app where you would be able, for example, to write "bblablabal" and then click on the "yellow" button and keep writing in yellow color (the text written before doesn't have to change, as it does with the .setTextColor() method).

I've tried some of the java methods and also tried some workarounds with no succes... any ideas of how to makes this works ?

Thank you!

Rodrigo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janfsd:
I am afraid you might need to make your own widget. Although, I might be wrong as I haven't tried such a thing. If you don't find your answer here, try asking in stackoverflow.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rmanyari:
Thanks for the reply, i've thouht doing that (override the setTextColor method) but it seems a way too complicated solution for such a banal functionnality... Any other ideas?

Thank you!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badger51:
On several occasions, after applying bstats.zip when at 100%, my phone shows only 60% battery afterr applying the zip.

Is this normal?

Also, as you might guess, having some general battery problems:

Rapid loss of battery reserve

Phone running "hot" when no visible programs are running

Difficulty getting phone back to 100%, even after several hours of charging.

Are there any suggestions on utilities to show

1) whether battery is holding a charge,

2) what programs are using up battery?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
This is definitely not normal. There are several things to try:

1)in terminal emulator, type"su" then hit return to get superuser access, then run the command "dumpsys power". near the bottom is a command "mLocks.size=0"

This will list any wake locks, which drain battery by preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. (In the example, 0 means no wake locks)

2)try a different kernel, maybe an undervolted one. I recommend imnuts' 50uv pbj kernel found here:

https://sites.google.com/a/imnuts.net/android/kernels

(try the 4th one down in the list)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badger51:
thanks

will give that a try...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badger51:
wake locks

The following is captured from the emulator screen, there is more above it, but this appeared to be the section on wake locks:

mLocks.size=3:

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'MAIL_SERVICE' activated (minState=0, uid=10212, pid=2731)

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'CoreReceiver getWakeLock' activated (minState=0, uid=10092, pid=2731)

PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK 'NetworkLocation Check Location' activated (minState=0, uid=1000, pid=2731)

Not sure if it's good news or bad news..

Working to install the other kernel, as well.

First time post. I bought this warranty today with coupon code "JULY04". I paid $69. Coupon code is supposed to expire tonight. I thought I would pass this along as it seems to be a good alternative to BB warranty. Coverage details below. Ignore the reference to Ipad2 in the link.

Discover Card people:

shopdiscover opens up another discounted warranty - this is normal for shopdiscover

599.99 coverage + ADH = $109 for 3 years

69.99 for 2 years ($34.995 / year;)

109.99 for 3 years. ($36.663/ year)

another option for those that want a longer warranty

[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Recorded a video which seemed to go fine. Tried to play it back and got nothing but a black screen. So, tried playing a YouTube vid. Same thing, just a black screen. Tried a Watch preview, black screen. Tried a Flash video in the browser, same deal. Reboot, try again, still black. ??????????

Figured I'd be doing a factory reset, formatting the SD, who knows?

So, shutdown, pull battery, pull and re-seat the SD a couple of times, reboot. Now video plays fine again in all of the above apps. :)

Just an FYI.

Edit: Last night I turned off the phone and charged it overnight. Tried playing video this morning and the problem is back. Nothing but a black screen in all video playback. Going to format the SD and see if that helps.

No one else has seen this?

Update: Formatted SD yesterday morning, since then video has played perfectly.

[HTC Sensation] McT1980:
U played via the YouTube app or? Tried to play any other HD videos?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Tried playing a vid I recorded on the phone, as well as YouTube, Watch, and flash in the browser. All just show a black screen.
[HTC Sensation] Savage1701:
Yes, with three factory fresh T-Mobile phones and SIM cards.

I can't trace it to anything in particular, but I am not letting it update itself. I am NOT an Android or HTC expert. And once it happens, the video playback is trashed until I do a factory reset.

T-Mobile tech support said this is a KNOWN issue, they have many identical complaints, and the best they can offer is to wait for FW fix.

A factory reset will fix the issue with all playback sources I have tried, but I can't tie it down to what triggers it. Rumors include Flash Player other than what is stock, YouTube app, etc., as well as an obscure sound notification checkbox in settings.

You can't just "re-choose" or "confirm" your phone as the player either - that did not work for me. T-Mobile knows its an issue, for whatever comfort that gives you.

Interestingly, it never makes the camera malfunction for snapshots.

Tough call, since HD recording is a huge selling point of this phone. I have not tried to download a video to my computer to see if it plays. I can't assume it is corrupted since it may have been playing fine all along, but I probably should check.

Also, other media players can't seem to play it either in the phone, but I am no expert their on choices.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Interesting.

I called HTC and they diagnosed it as a bad SD card. Shipping me a new one under warranty.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Called TMO and the CSR looked up known issues and this wasn't on her list. So, some conflicting info apparently from TMO.

Did a reformat of the SD and video is working for now. But then just popping the SD last night fixed it until this morning. So, we'll see.

I've ordered a 16Gb SD, and will be getting a replacement 8Gb from HTC, so will have a couple of cards to play with. I hope it's a flaky SD, since that's easily fixed.
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
Goto Settings>Sounds

And turn off Audible Selection.

See if that works.

Its working for me.

I had the same issue until I did it.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Audible Selection was already turned off. So, not the cause in my case.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
guys hit the power button and select restart it will close all apps and playback will work again
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
So is "Restart" more like removing the battery? I did try a power off/on yesterday and it didn't fix the problem. Then resorted to popping the battery and SD, which did temporarily fix it. But based on a post in another thread, and the slower boot, it appears a restart is actually a more thorough reset than power off, which seems backwards. If so, good to know.

Regardless, having to reset the phone to make vids play is not acceptable. The real problem needs to be identified by HTC and fixed.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
yes restart closes all apps and make things work again i did let htc know and they said they will escalate the problem to the proper resources to be fixed in and update they also told me the sensation will be getting a update before august
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Update: Since I formatted my SD card yesterday morning video playback has worked perfectly. Will update again as needed.

Update2: Now I really have a black screen. Phone totally died this morning. Went to TMO store and swapped batteries, nothing. Door nail. Called TMO and it will be a week before I can get a replacement.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
wow your phone died i would tell them never mind keep this **** because the phones not holding up to its purchase
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I really like the phone. Best phone available in the US for me. So, don't want to kiss it goodbye quite yet.

What I don't like is the replacement policy. TMO CSR told me all the stores are privately owned, and aren't actually part of T-Mobile. Since I purchased through Customer Care over the phone the store won't do a replacement. Ok, but they could ship me a replacement right away for a confirmed at the store dead phone, and charge my credit card full retail price if I don't return the bad one. Two hours on the phone and waiting a week for a replacement isn't a positive customer experience.
[HTC Sensation] Savage1701:
Well, something got changed with mine because none of that stuff worked for me, but now I no longer have issues with video. My rep said it was known. We did try the "Audible Selection" possibility but no help. I had to do a factory reset.

Maybe a flash issue, maybe a small FW push, I don't know.

I'm too new to Android to hack around and see, coming over from the Windows 6.5 crowd.

We'll see, but I think at going on 3 weeks if it was going to fail it would by now.
