Hi all, Got a Desire HD and a radio control helicopter (Trex 500).

Would like to be able to look at the heli in flight with the camera (in video mode is ok) and see what speed the rotors are spinning at.

All that's required is a method of adjusting the camera shutter speed while pointing at the heli until the blades look stationary. (Maybe use the volume rocker for adjustment)

Also a little routine to put the revolution figures on screen.

The heli blades should spin at about 2700rpm but for a wider variety of helis, would like to read a range from about 1900 to 3200 rpm.

A shutter harmonic frequency could be used as I dont think the shutter can operate at these speeds.

There are units available that use this method... But the mobile phone with camera already has the hardware needed. Just need a little bit of programming, I'm guessing.

If anyone can help i'm sure there would be a lot of interest from various fields....

Feedback on the idea welcome.....

aero star

PS. Thinking of existing measuring apps available, any reason why shutter speed can't be added to give object speed calculation and result etc etc

PPS Recording the heli in flight and then applying the Tachometer software would be ok.... might be easier to adjust the shutter speed for the video recording... ???

Is it possible to have the stock kernel oc'd to 1.2GHZ and made flashable?

Im curious as if this can be done. Id like to have everything about the stock kernel with a slight oc to 1.2GHZ only, no other mods. Can anyone make this happen...if even possible? Thank you!

I like how the matrix kernels dont need setcpu and thats ideally what im looking for. However, the matrix kernels kinda tweak with my camera. Thank you!!

Before I was rooted, I used ADB to set installlocation so that I could move some of the larger apps to my SD card (namely Gameloft apps).

Now I am rooted, what is the best way to do the same thing? Most of these Gameloft games are now taking 30mb up on my internal memory whereas it was like 500kb before.

Also, what is the best general app when rooted for removing bloatware?

What are the best things to speed up the phone that I can do now but couldn't before.

Thanks!
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
I used titanium backup (free) and moved all the gameloft games to sd now under 500kb.

Removing bloat, you can use the free version of titanium backup to uninstall the bloat. But i have froze the bloat instead of removing it in hopes i can unfreeze it all and do the ota update to 2.3.4 when it comes out and hopefully still keep root. If you uninstall anything you will have to reinstall it before doing an ota update.

I use Bloat Freezer to freeze the bloat and it does what it is supposed to do. You could pay for titanium pro to freeze the apps but that like £3.69 where bloat freezer is only £0.62. If you freeze intsead of uninstalling you will not gain any internal memory but you will gain ram so boot up is faster and phone is faster e.t.c. If you uninstall or freeze any of the bloat found here your phone will be alot faster so no other program is needed.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Removing Bloatware only frees memory. I didnt see much speed increase from rooting my phone tbh.

2.3.3 stock is pretty damn efficient in all honesty.

You can overclock to 1.5ghz now you are rooted. Ive never done this but an extra 500 mhz will speed things up alot. Search other threads in this forums to see how to do this.
[Xperia Play General] sh4dow1:
How did you root 2.3.3?
[Xperia Play General] GetPatriotized:
I'm on Rogers (2.3.3) unrooted.

How would I root my phone? First android phone :)
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I'm on Rogers too, I flashed my phone to generic uk version version 2.3.2. Then I used gingerbreak to root the phone. After using the software update through your phone (ota) update to 2.3.3.
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
Yes, this is how I did it.

I am on a factory unlocked UK phone.

Thanks for the advice Mozza2k11.

I had lareday deleted Timescape and FIFA but luckily made a backup so I have restored them and will look into freezing instead.

I just got my first REAL smartphone, actually it’s still on FedEx truck.

From reading the stickies on this forum, here’s what I gathered so far (and I am starting from scratch – nothing on my phone yet)

1)	Root my phone with the ‘OneClick’ tool.

2)	Install ROM (I am thinking Cognition, since it’s recommended for beginner).

3)	Install Theme (haven’t decide on one yet) – any suggestions?

So, am I missing anything?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You seem to have a good grasp on what you are doing. I do recommend buying/making a Jig to have around just in case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
You're well on your way.

Make sure and read up on bootloaders and the difference between 2.1/2.2 and 2.3 bootloaders as getting this wrong is the main thing that can lead to "big" trouble.

Also take a look at Odin, Odin One Click return to stock and make sure and know the difference between those and the Odin One Click w/3 Button Combo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
thanks guys, i think i have a good idea of what i want to do but i am still struggling to find the details to do the above.

for example, what difference if my phone batch is 1010, or 1012, or older?

do i need to get an microsd card, if so what size/brand?

what sofware do i need to download?

etc, etc. etc.

i will continue to browse through the forums, but if you know of any links please post.

also, what does the jig do? do i need to have one?

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkkaranrk:
First decide what u want to do, As u stated first root the phone and then u want a custom ROM, So go ahead and try it.

Only thing i will advice start from a froyo rom then to the gingerbread as there would be less chances to brick your phone while flashing the b.loades.

Read the OP properly of the ROM which you want to flash there are many good froyo rom available here. But just be sure what u are doing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Please for the love of all things unholy, read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049294

Again i will say read the OP carefully before flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
I have a few Captivates in the family and IMHO the first thinkg to do before flashing anything is to purchase Root Explorer in the market (for around $4) then back up your EFS folder (in the main directory) and save it to a cd so you ALWAYS have a hard copy of it. These files are specific to your phone and if they get screwed up during flashing, you phone may not be able to be used as a phone anymore. The back up copy will save you.

All of the above stuff is good. I was a noob about 6 months ago but I spent hours upon hours of reading and watching videos about flashing and moding. Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
thanks, but what do you mean "read the OP carefully"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
great, these are what i love to hear.

things to do, or not to do, before modding/flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
the OP is the original post or poster, like your first question is the op, and you are also the op of the thread. in that context he meant the original post, because that will have most of the information about the rom...but i would expand on that to read the op and the a couple of pages in, and also if its a large thread with alot of posts read atleast the LAST 5 or 6 pages also.

anymore terms you are unfamiliar with read the op of this thread carefully: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093062 ;);)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
thanks for clarying.

just got my phone in the mail.

i looked at the batch number under the battery slot and it shows 1106.

does this mean i have version 2.1 or 2.2? what would be the appropriate app/tool for rooting?

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
The batch had nothing to do with the firmware....that just means your phone was built in june of 2011. But since it's a new phone it more than likely has 2.2 confirm this in settings>about phone> firmware version.

Use super one click to root.

BUT FIRST PLEASE READ SOME MORE.

All of the information you are looking is already on here at the very least twice probably WAY more.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
it is indeed version 2.2
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
so i read the first page of this thread and also watched the youtube clip. it looks straight enough to root. but i got a question. should i run the universal root or the captivate root?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682&page=442
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
I would use SuperOneClick to root 2.2, however, the only version that was successful for me was version 1.6.5. The newer versions gave me errors or said FAILED when trying to root. For me, it has always worked with 1.6.5
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
thanks, but i only see v1.7 and v1.95. where can i get v1.65?

also, i do not need the samsung driver for rooting right? only for flashing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
You should have the driver installed on your computer for anything you do with the phone. Make sure after you install drivers to plug in your phone to the computer in all the different modes it has - in debugging mode, not in debug mode, in download mode, and connecting as an external drive. The computer will install all the drivers when you do this.

I will try to attach v1.6.5 of Super One CLick. I hope it's ok with the moderators here that I am posting the software. Just unzip the folder and double click the android icon in that folder.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
is the above really necessary?

and thanks for the attachment.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack man:
I don't know if ALL of it is necessary but I do know that the drivers should be installed, and the phone needs to be recognized by the computer while the phone is in debugging mode (settings/applications/development/check usb debugging) while running supperoneclick. Most software that you use with your phone will need the driver information.

The only reason I mentioned all that I did is because the first time I did an update on my phone months ago, I was told to make sure the computer recognized the phone in every mode... just to be safe. and I have never had ANY problems with the computer recognizing my phone, unlike several people on the different threads.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
great. thanks, might as well take the extra steps and be safe.

glad you posted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
do i need an external MicroSD card for flashing the ROM?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
No. Having one comes in handy for modding/flashing for things like backups but, no, not necessary.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
thanks!

i must say, the more time that i spent on this forum and the more materials that i've read, the MORE CONFUSED that i am.

i initially thought ROOT the phone, FLASHED the phone, DONE!!!!

now, i am seeing that i need to run Odin to flash my 2.2 phone to 2.1?

then i need to run clockworkrecovery to back up data?

is there universal step by step guide that everyone uses? there are multiple variations out there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
The best rule of thumb is to always follow the instructions provided by the Dev that released the ROM you're looking to install. Those instructions are usually in the first post; always on the first page.

With that said, those instructions usually assume some form of familiarity from the user so it'll take time for you.

The main reason to flash to 2.1 is it's easier to mod than stock 2.2- so they just assume (for the most part) that you're flashing to 2.1 since it's easiest.

Guide: How to install a custom ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
ok, i've read the guide "how to install custom ROM" several times but i wonder if that guide is still up to date considering it's over 1yr old.

i just don't know if steps 1-5 as documented in that guide is absolutely necessary.

can i just

1) root the phone using superoneclick, then

2) flash the rom, following instructions provided by the programmer/op?

are odin and clockwork needed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
ah. confusion caused by everyone's different points of view....

if it comes with 2.2 on it as stock, then you will DEFINITELY need to do some work to flash it. its not hard, but you need to make sure you understand it

you need clockwork to flash roms

you need ODIN to save your ass when something goes wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
so, after further reading and asking questions on here. i think i have a bit better plan.

1) install samsung drivers - plug in phone and make sure it recognizes phone

2) root the phone with superclick program (need this in order to run Titanium?)

3) download Titanium to back up data (install the program on the phone or PC)?

4) download and run Odin3 oneclick to restore stock fw (2.1)?

5) download Clockwork Recovery (need to flash rom?)

6) download the rom i want to flash (rename it and move it to internal sd on the phone)

7) run Clockwork Recovery to flash rom

does anyone see any flaws with the above steps? i really appreciate your feedback here.

thanks much!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Titanium backup is a phone app.

Look at my first post in this thread. The second link in that post is so you don't have to odin to 2.1 so you can do that for step 4 instead.

fuggit here is the link again http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052991

And no need to rename the rom either
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toy028:

edit: i am on fw 2.2, can i still do the "hold vol+/-, plug in USB" to reboot into recovery/download mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
If you are flashing from 2.1 yes. If you want to flash it from 2.2 use the links I posted twice first and then follow along.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
is it necessary to run Titanium to backup data if this is a brand new phone with no apps, musics, photos, etc. on it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
No need. The only reason to use it is if you have something to save.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:

i am in the recovery screen, and when i selected 'reinstall package' it's trying to look for update.zip

i was expecting it to allow me to select 'reinstall from zip' as an option, where i can select my cognition rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
"Reinstall packages" twice in stock recovery. That well boot you into clockwork recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
i did, i selected it multiple times. each time i select it, it kept looking for the update.zip file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Rom manager should have downloaded one to your phone. That's what it does when you choose to flash cwm with it, puts an update.zip on your sdcard, use the "my files" app on your phone and check if there is one. If not download it again with rom manager.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11466747/update.zip

Put that on your SD manually and make sure it says "update" (update.zip).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokarz:
stupid me, the file is in the rom manager directly.

i need to make a copy and put it out to the main directory and renamed to update.zip.
