[Optimus One, P500, V General] avengin:
For those that are willing to give it a shot, i sort of had a P500

rom working perfectly, display wise, on a P505....

This is what i did:

1. Installed ClockWorkMod for optimus one through android

market app "Rom Manager"

2. Downloaded the final release of "Devoid"

url: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887281

3. ***MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP***

4. Wiped data, cache, and Dalvik, as well as battery stats

5. install from sd the "devoid" rom zip

Now theres 2 possible routes here....

1. Reboot now, you get the funky cyan messed up video screen

2.... Advanced restore in CWM of your boot partition...

the second route fixed the display, but upon boot, it said the battery

was over heating... and did a shutdown... i have yet to do a boot

up with ac power only, to see if that effects it.

**If anyone can point this at some devs, this may be a possible

work around for some roms?

The rom was a Froyo 2.2 and my boot was for a rooted 2.2.2,

what implications does this have?

So yeah thought i'd post my finding and if anyone knows anything

to add onto this, i don't have 10 posts yet, so I cant put this in

the develop area

***As an update

The "Devoid" Final rom was working full on the P505 from the method above

only if it was plugged in to a power source... It gave 2 errors,

1. When it was plugged in, it said "heat sensor detected high

temps, remove battery and place in cool dry place"

2. When not plugged in, "Battery overheateing, shutting down for safety"

With results like that, I'm not willing to try. It does sound like progress though.

Sent from my phone using fat fingers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] avengin:
Yeah, it wasnt the result i was looking for either, but it was something,

also the rom that was release for the lg p506 from at&t v2.2.2, worked

mostly without a flaw on my p505... so i dont know what's going on

there, just data was an issue for me it wouldn't work even with settings

for my network.... then even lg says i have a P505R so i'm starting to

wonder if its a hybrid of the p505 and p506.lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] avengin:
Not wanting to double post but does anyone know where people

are getting the at&t roms for the p506? or the one guy that made

one for the p505 from the p506 rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] giandeli:
my rom will ony work on a p505 not a p505r which is what avengin has
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wlfpck:
Just to update this thread...

avengin says that the rom does work for the p505r....

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folkg:
I keep reading that mobile data is supposed to consume more battery than WIFI, but whenever I have WIFI on, I drop a percent every couple of minutes. And this is unusual, because I undervolt and generally have much, much less drain on mobile data.

When I check the battery stats, its "Android System" that is taking a lot of the percentage, not the WIFI itself. I think this is because my system is set to update only on WIFI or something. Does anyone know how I would shut this off? This only happens on WIFI, not mobile data.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
I saw many people buying their transformer from Amazon.com, and having some wonderful experiences with returns and exchanges. When I lived in the USA, I also used Amazon.com with great experiences. However, Amazon.cn, and maybe other Amazons, are very different.

I recently purchased my Transformer from Amazon.cn, because I believed it would have the same (or at least similar) customer service as Amazon.com. In China, there are many quality and customer service issues, so I choose Amazon, just to be on the safe side.

Amazon.cn return/exchange for high end electronic devices:

1) If you sign for the package, your on your own after that. Any problems, and they refer you to the manufacturer.

This means you must thoroughly inspect and test your device upon arrival before you sign for the package. If your package is mailed to a PO Box, well, you're screwed. This is not listed on the product description webpage. There is no exchange/return policy once you sign for the package, unless you constantly pester the company with complaints, see #2.

2) If you hassle them enough (3 days for me), they will tell you they will work with you if: You send your transformer to Asus Repair Center, and have Asus send you a detailed inspection sheet stating your transformer has a problem.

This has to be the stupidest return policy I have ever heard of. I have send my broken tablet to the manufacturer repair center so that I can return it to the store of purchase?

My tablet is currently at the Asus repair center being repaired for a stripe of red stuck pixels. When it returns, I will return it to Amazon.cn, simply because they do not deserve my money after the horrible customer service they have provided. I do, however, love the transformer, and will purchase a new one from Saga (赛格) when I finish my business with Amazon.cn.

While Amazon.com provides excellent service, I recommend avoiding Amazon.cn for electronic purchases. You are better off with Taobao or a local store, as the prices are cheaper and typically have better customer service. For those of you considering using the other Amazon's, be careful.

I'm creating this thread to have a central spot for my updates on the Skype Video mod I'm doing. My objective is making skype video to support all devices from FROYO to the latest android version and to support more devices as possible.

The latest build can be found HERE

Another XDA member theos0o also did a Skype video mod that works for more GB devices. If my files don't work, try his updated files in this thread HERE

For those who want to make their own icons, you can follow this instruction from angusc HERE

NOTE: VIDEO CALLING WORKS FOR NEON SUPPORTED DEVICES ONLY (mostly ARM Cortex A8). Lower end devices and Tegra 2 devices are not yet supported)
[Android Software Development] Parastie:
Tried both files and I still cannot send video. The oter person only sees my video as loading. I'll see if I can get a logcat.

Had to use alogcat (adb doesn't play nice with this tablet), let me know if it's enough information otherwise I'll try to get ADB to really work.

Hrm, I'm completely lost. Two identical SGS, bought at the same seller within a short timeframe, same ROM, same kernel, same modem, same tweaks, same file systems. The only difference is the theme.

On one the froyo apk works (mine), on the other doesn't (black screen from both front and rear cams, my buddy's).

The only thing I could suspect is that he's using a Gingerbread-styled theme, which possibly could substitute some system files or something?

Hi,

Couldnt get the other version posted at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 to work, so we tried this one.

The video is wierd though. Once the video call connected, it switched to horizontal mode. So in order to view the other person right side up, I turned my phone so that they are right side up, but then the other person sees me sideways. If I put myself right side up in the video, then I am viewing them sideways.
[Android Software Development] droidrx:
Guys, I added more APKs in the main post. I did a few changes that can affect the camera and added features for NO "autorun" and the "Exit" button.

For those with wrong camera rotation, please test the one I built that adds 90 degrees rotation and let me know if it actually changed the orientation. For those with blinking videos, try also the new APKs.

For those with blank screen, I still haven't found the problem. I got a hint that it could be the size of the screen vs the sizes supported by the camera but I can't pinpoint what to look at. I will post the smali codes tomorrow so other devs can help us fix it.
[Android Software Development] GwynBleidd:
The 90 degrees build rotates the image that you see on your screen from your cam while initiating video call (or when the opponent's cam isn't active). The image is also distorted (like height and width changed places).

This applies ONLY to the image that you see on full screen when initiating video call. Actual video being sent to opponent doesnt change nor does what you see in your mini preview.

The build works nicely on Froyo, Exit button is very cool.

Thanks, hope this helps resolve the rotation issue.

EDIT: Thought I'd elaborate about the rotation behaviour in a more detailed fashion:

- video call is always in landscape mode, both image from opponent's cam and mini-image from own cam;

- when I hold the phone vertically, mini-image is correct;

- when I hold the phone horizontally, mini-image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise;

- at the same time, at the opponent's screen, my image is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise;

- as I said earlier, when opponent's cam is turned off, my image from own cam takes up the whole screen and in vertical orientation is correct, while in horizontal it's upside down (180 degrees rotated). Personally I don't care about this one though.

Hope this helps.

[Xoom Android Development] musashiken:
Probably not possible at the moment. HTC Sense 3.0 is made for Android 2.3. The htc libraries probably are not compatible with Honeycomb.

Your best bet is to wait for HTC's first honeycomb tablet with Sense to come out first.
[Xoom Android Development] mandog202:
on top of that it likely wouldn't work on non htc hardware anyway
[Xoom Android Development] willverduzco:
Can't be done, at least not without extensive rewrites and hackery since Sense 3 is not meant for 3.0. Oh, and requests are to be made in the q&a forum, not development.

icon changes after update

hi,

i have some games in a home screen folder.

when that game updates, then the icon in the folder looks the default android icon and not the original game/app icon, as before the update.

to get the game icon back, i have to delete that icon and then make another shortcut for that game and put it into the folder.

any other war to do this ?

will having less services running, extend the battery life ?

google maps always seems to be on as a service, though i havent used it in a long time. if i stop the service, it starts again.

which android services can be safely stopped ?

HTC Desire S, Sense UI 2.1, Android 2.3.3

thanks
[HTC Desire S] rht_sg:

[HTC Desire S] geek_seeds:
+ 1 mate

my solution is just move .apk to internal mem

after that is ok
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
I rebooted and it fixed the icons issue.

Yes, fewer active services will improve battery.
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Google maps is used for location services like weather, world clock etc. other apps that use location services.... So it comes back on no matter how many times you kill it, unless you totally turn off all network connections, which is no fun.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
& also running less services does not improve your battery life as when a program is on RAM it doesn't use power

but if you kill services with task managers then they will start again which causes battery drain
[HTC Desire S] rht_sg:
I let the phone to update automatically, i dont move the apks myself.
[HTC Desire S] rht_sg:
For me, reboot does not refresh the icons, they still remain as the default android icon.

i can delete them and then make the app shortcut again, and then add to the folder, then the appropriate game icon is shown.
[HTC Desire S] rht_sg:
hmm, so cant stop it then.

i will have to check which services can be stopped safely.
[HTC Desire S] rht_sg:
i do not kill processes myself. earlier i was using ATK, but then i removed it.

i just monitor the processes and services running in the background.

what u r saying about program being on RAM consuming no battery, is true. but what i was wondering was about services - which i believe dont just stay and idle in the RAM, but i think must be consuming some resources.

So i would like to know which android services can be safely shut down.

Hi fellow HTC Desire S users! I've been searching the net for an hour now on how to root HTC Desire S, but not a clear forum, thread or guide has caught my attention. They're all so vague, if not uncertain. Maybe I'm not searching for the right terms too... I don't know.

I need straightforward answers to these questions:

1. Is there already a tool we can use to root our device?

2. If yes, kindly give me the link or a guide or at least the names of the softwares I should use.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :)
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
To achieve root or superuser access, Gingerbreak is the app to use.

However it is only really useful for the DS if your device is s-off. Otherwise any root access is only temp (and difficult to achieve).

There is currently development of a software method to s-off DS phones.

Useful search terms on this forum might be s-on, s-off, gingerbreak, alpharevx.

Good luck :)
