[G2 and Desire Z General] DoktorKot:
I have another noob question:

My device is Samsung galaxy tab GT-P7300.

I need to clone the 12GB data partition from device to microsd flash 16GB. Closest and puriest way i have found is dd command.

As well as everybody knows, it is impossible to create a file larger than 4GB in fat32 filesystem BUT it is the only fileystem that this device understands as native(any other(ext3 ext4 ntfs) need special moves to mount and cloning process can not be guaranteed as clean, i.e. without convertation).

Device is already rooted and i'm using terminal to use *nix commands

Please advise, how to use dd command to skip first 4GB and start creating next 4GB file and so on???
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
The beauty about linux is that anyone can be a command line commando simply by using the built-in help.

Try "dd --help"

you'll want something like dd if=/blah/blah/partition of=/blah/blah/memcard bs=1 skip=4G (bs=1M skip=4096 might be faster, but check the math, base 2 vs base 10, ln vs log, etc)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Marqin:
I would recommend to use man instead, it provides more information and some examples ;)

Try: "man dd"
[G2 and Desire Z General] DVS_Sokar:
You seem to have a better grasp then I on DD.

I am trying to reverse the process of reading what value is in a certain partition. I am using the dd commands below to write a hex value. I would also like to accomplish the opposite and read what the value is at that location. Is this possible?

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of =/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796 // This tells the HTC bootloader to Show Locked on Bootloader flag

or

echo -ne 'HTCU' | dd of =/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=33796 // This tells the HTC Bootloader to Show Unlocked on the Bootloader flag

Based on what you have said about of=/ is out file. Which is confusing based on the command line above.

However the command works and sets the HTC device's Bootloader flag to Null which reads as Unlocked.

I am trying to programatically read that partition and report back to the user the state using C#. Can I use the DD command to accomplish this?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] josefgabriel:
Hello. So yesterday I went into Tmobile and found out I was eligible for an upgrade. I ended up upgrading my girlfriends old TP2 and keeping my HD2. I know I am missing some processing power and a front facing camera but correct me if i am wrong not much else? I actually like the shape of the Hd2 better. Anyway I have been running Rafdroid on my phone and like the sense 3.0. I would like to go to a ROM that is closest to what the Sensation is running. I am actually getting a new HD2 shipped as the old one's usb port had lifted off the board and the Tmobile guy said he could get it replaced. So I will be starting form scratch. Looks like a new HD dev tool has been released automating Magldr and CLK installation?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
yes, but to install clk, you must have the drivers installed on your phone ( really easy to do )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
Just so you know there is a Android ROM for the HD2 that was ported from the HTC Sensation.It is "imilka's Sensation Sense v0.1".

And yes XDA member ksubedi made the HD2 NAND Toolkit. This is a all in one toolkit that flashes vertually anything to the HD2. And it makes flashing cLK and then CWM after that to be able to install a ROM very simple.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
There are a number of Sense 3 ROMs available but none that are really acceptable for day to day use. They tend to be very sluggish and buggy. I've settled for a nice cmylxgo Sense 2 ROM from the DesireHD till Sense 3 ROMs are ironed out.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bmar08:
-------------------------------------------------

Hey there,

I am about the same way.. i could get the Sensation if i wanted but heck when i get basically get it working on my HD2 why change. Every one of the Sense 3 Roms right now at least have a bit of a Graphical Glitch. Meaning that there are horizonal lines that show from time to time but heck its not that bad at all untill they get all the data to be able to get a fully working ROM. Heck here is the rom i have been using and its a HTC Kingdom 3D Rom ( aka the EVO 3D ) which is basically the same thing ROM wise. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075703

Personally I have been using this as a Daily User and I am loving it. Just like with about any other rom you have to give it a day or so to settle in ( more so with the Sense 3 roms ) but after clearing the battery stats i have no real issues. Data works fine and the WIFI the same.. Im getting a solid 30+ hours of usage with basic calling and browsing the web. I dont like do a bunch of You Tube video watching or streaming radio but heck any phone you expect for it to use a bunch of battery just from the mb usage. For one min of streaming audio or video it uses roughly 1 MB of data. But oh well.. Take a look at this rom and see how you like it.. Its working well for me. Hope some of this helps..

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sg1dan:
which version of the app are you using? the latest 3.1 beta 1 does not work for me. had to go back to an older one. you can find them here . 3.01 used to work for me but the app is not there. try a different one like the 2.07 or 2.05

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

also, if your computer is already connected to a router or a network that assigns it ip, and dns, you will not be able to tether. you need to disconnect the computer from any other network and connect it only to the phone.
[Thunderbolt General] OdinGuru:
I've seen this a couple of times now on my Thunderbolt. FYI I am running completely stock non-rooted with the OTA update.

I use an app called "Watchdog" which I have set to checks every ten minutes and warn me if any process is using over 50% of the CPU. Every once and a while I get repeated notifications about "Android System" using >90% of the CPU. This persists over long durations of time.

I got a bit more detail from an app called "Process Monitor" about this "Android System" process:

Process Details:

Identification 1555

Type Process

Sub-Type Forground

Source /system/framework/framework-res.apk

CPU Usage:

Time Since Start 11h 55m 43s

CPU Usage 11h 34m 28.04s

CPU Consumption 97%

Obviously this is a system process, so I wonder if there is either a bug, or if there is some non-system app calling something repeatedly that causes this system package to do a lot of work. Anyone have any idea what this apk actually does so I might get a clue for what to look for?

Strangely the process is listed as "Forground" but the vast majority of the ~12h since boot was with the screen off connected to my charger overnight. I do have Settings - Applications - Development - Stay awake - Screen will never sleep while charging checked. However, I have seen this issue before I knew about that setting.

Even after rebooting and when this "Android System" is not "misbehaving", I notice that it is still my top total CPU user, but at least only uses a single digit percent of CPU.

Anyone else notice this kind of behavoir? What about those of you with custom ROMs? Does this go away or is it inherent to the Android platform?
[Thunderbolt General] ilovesoad:
Apps like watchdog and task killers are pretty counter intuitive with consideration as to how android works. So long as your phone is behaving properly and you aren't noticing significant battery draw, I'd say don't worry. If you are, try a factory reset.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
I had a problem for awhile where Android System was eating all my CPU and killing the battery. I never did figure out what it was. I did a factory reset and that fixed it. I guess maybe it was an app or something I had on the phone. Who knows.
[Thunderbolt General] ilovesoad:
It's too bad the froyo battery stats aren't as complete as the gb ones for stuff like individual apps.
[Thunderbolt General] OdinGuru:
Did some more testing this morning and thought I'd post my data so far.

I still think Android System process is running away, but it isn't as quite as bad as I thought because it only spins while CPU is awake anyway.

Conclusions from below testing data:

* Seems Process Monitor "Time Since Start" only counts time while CPU is awake, not real wallclock time

* "runaway" "Android System" process does not seem to be keeping phone awake (still sleeping 75%-80% of the time)

* "runaway" "Android System" process does seem to keep CPU pegged at fastest 1024 MHz speed (this should negatively affect battery life)

* Setting Applications/Development/Stay Awake seems to prevent CPU from sleeping while charging even when manually turning off screen (normal sleep w/o this setting checked) -> this makes it a lot more obvious that "Android System" keeps running

[XDA Developer TV] azrienoch:
So I got a message a few weeks ago from a hearing impaired XDA member requesting closed captions. I was at a loss because creating them adds so much work to a limited, time-sensitive production. I offered to send this user the transcripts, and I started adding text to the screen to give textual cues to what is a fast-paced video. It's hard enough for people that can hear. I also thought of having Meltwater include the transcript with the podcast download.

I remembered YouTube playing with auto-generated captions using voice recognition over a year ago, but I hadn't noticed the red "CC" button they used to have, so I figured they ditched the project. I checked again this morning, and I was wrong. In fact, it's really improved. All you need is a document file of the transcript. Using voice recognition, YouTube aims to match the text to the audio.

Now, I'm sure it'll be off, especially when we include so many ad-libbed bits that aren't in the transcript, but the closer it is to what is said, the better. But that's a small sacrifice to make in order to have synced closed captions. So let's commit to providing a transcript for each video as best we can. Keep the video file and text file named the same on the FTP.

Then, svetius, once the video is uploaded to Youtube, go to My Videos and click captions.

Then select Add New Captions or Transcript

Then choose the text file, select "Transcript File", name the output caption file whatever you want, and press upload.

And you're done! Is that doable, everyone? Svetius, if you'd like, I'll send you a transcript and we'll see how it works.
[XDA Developer TV] svetius:
Sure, I can do that. Send me the stuffs! :cool:
[XDA Developer TV] azrienoch:
Okay, put the transcript .txt of the 4 February episode in my folder on the FTP to see how well it works. Didn't put in ALL of the stutters and restarts, so we'll see how YouTube handles them.
[XDA Developer TV] meltwater:
Excellent!

Once you have a video posted let me know and I'll see what the options are for the podcast, even if it is just a link to the transcript perhaps.

[XDA Developer TV] jnevans:
I've seen a site use Amazon's mechanical turks to do this type of HIT:

Just something I wanted to throw in there if you wanted to create more accurate captions than youTube's auto-caption feature.

(can't post the link since haven't posted 8 more more but you can google it)
[XDA Developer TV] meltwater:
Hi azrienoch,

Do the latest videos have Closed Captions on?

If so any way they can be linked to the podcast, the software I use for pulling the video/audio off youTube only produces the mp4/3 files, the CC are not included?

Podcast is up to date once more. As always, love the latest shows.
[XDA Developer TV] XXCoder:
Closed captions? Awesome! :)
[XDA Developer TV] azrienoch:
No, I don't think they're up yet, but when they are, there's gotta be some way to get it to you. I know you can download them if it's your account the video is on, but there's gotta be a way to download them on the net.
[XDA Developer TV] meltwater:
Well I can pull it from a dropbox public account if the file is made available and named with the youtube id. As for what I do with it except embed it in the html view, I'm not sure you can download more than one file with a podcast item at a time.

UPDATE just found this:

http://video.google.com/timedtext?hl=en&v=tp1ovS-by0s&lang=en

v=YOUTUBEID

So can get it directly, in theory...again not sure how to best to fit it in the podcast format.
[XDA Developer TV] JAKISTER:
...status, pls?
[XDA Developer TV] meltwater:
I don't watch the videos from youtube, so are the close captions available on the videos? If so can see if I can get the files from the stream possibly, will then work out what best to do with them as part of the podcast.
