[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Snoopo:
Hmm I guess it's well explained by: drivers.

Every Computer itself is hardware. Your mobile phone is also hardware and the ccamera is a specific hardware. that every other component of your mobile can use that specific hardware "camera" - for example that your camera recording app wants to use your camera to record video or take apicture - drivers are needed for the operating system.

The stack of communication levels looks very minimalistic like that:

app (camera.apk)

operating system (android in version 2.1. 2.2 or 2.3 or 1.6)

driver (inside operating system)

hardware (camera)

app says: take picture with camera (meaning open shutter, let the light into the light sensor) - operatingsystem knows what to do and tells driver (open specific shutter, let the light into the sensor xyz) and the driver opens the shutter and lets the light into it... maybe you get it...

The point now is: You have a specific camera that needs a specific driver in your phone. And Sony Ericsson has this perfect driver for that and does not give it out to us. That's why their operating system "stock ROM" works perfectly.

For Froyo the devs found a similar driver or maybe (I don't know really) could make the SE-driver compatible for Android 2.2. I guess was hard work to make Android 2.2 also for hardware keyboard and so on compatible for our mini pro!! And it was also another such hard work to make Android 2.3 compatible for our mini pro. But the Camera driver is still the Problem and thus the Camera can not be used as used in Gingerbread that is Android 2.3. And CM7 is a modified Android 2.3 for Mini, and slades and sonybread are based on cm7 and thus camera still does not work as we all would like it.

You can not use the drivers from froyo (cm6) or Eclair...

Okay?

As I guess the devs are still working hard on getting it worked but it's not that easy. That's also the point why the most people use the CM6 edition (Froyo ones) ;)

Okiddoki?

I know that the big X10 has different hardware with this phone, I was just wondering is it possible to port something from x10 when the 2.3 update roll out?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] BPaul:
sorry for offtopic, but can you make a port driver for sound and dsp manager with the CM7 at CM6?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] allen400:
picsin did not work on sonybread 4 for me
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dllngr:
I really doubt, that anyone is working on this... in fact I think everybody is waiting for a working driver to be released (from other devices or even from sony).

If somebody was working on getting it done we would know about this...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Yperion:
Paul-xxx (dev of sonybread) said that he is working on the camera drivers right now, and afaik none of the devs inform us always about his projects, before he is ready for a release...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dllngr:
Oh, I didn't even know that paul-xxx was capable of modding drivers (no offense).

And from my experience most developers start developement threads when they start big projects (like modding drivers) as they can work together with other devs that way and avoid doing some work twice (teamwork instead of duplicated work). But in my mind there's a slight difference between ("real") devs and ("just") cooks...

Hi Guys,

i just want you to give some attention to a really nice program i recently discovered:

QtADB is a "simple" cross platform program for users like me who dont want to mess with command lines and stuff ;)

It makes usage of ADB so much easier!

Now take a look at the project page, download it and enjoy!

QtADB - Your Android Manager
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ratcom:
great find, useful program indeed ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] brutoid:
Gonna check this out, nice one.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bclark:
This works great. I have been using it for a while and have had very few issues using it. Worked across multiple phones
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nimroth:
ive been using it for some weeks now and i love it.

it also has some nice features for logcats...

[HTC Sensation] Toddy7658:
Hey, sorry for the noob question, probably going to get flamed for it but eh.

I was wonding if anyone else has this happening to them? When ever I get a video sent to me by mms the Sensation splits the sound and the video up so they're two different parts? And if even converts the video with no sound to a gif file? Can someone help me change this or something? even my old Samsung A411 can play video files set to it via mms.

Really starting to annoy me, having a high tech phone that can't play a mms like my old crappy phone.

If anyone needs a video of it or pics just ask and I'll take one and post them.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can we have Hindi language fonts on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Regards,

Anish
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvbyte:
found a way..

Hindi reading method in opera mini 1 - First install latest version of "Opera Mini" on Android powered tablet or phone which is available free on Android Market. Otherwise go to official site of opera. 2 - After that go to address bar & type opera:config & nothing should have www or 3. Then come to the menu & at its end see "use bitmap fonts for complex scripts". No sentence will be written in front of. You change it to Yes. 4. Save it. Now Open any Hindi site and see hindi font on your mobile / tablet instead of square font.
[HD2 General] IndigoHD:
This might sound strange, but when i still used to use my old HD2 earphones with the little buttons to go to next track, answer phone etc. it was obviously able to send commands to my phone that way.

Now i dont use them anymore and use Sennheiser ones instead, no buttons, just earphones.

but when they move in the 3.5mm jack sometimes they enable Shuffle or keep switching through tracks extremely fast.

I dont need my HD2 to be able to get commands from the 3.5mm jack is there ANY way to get rid of this?

its driving me nuts.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
ha ha ha !!!i dont know what to say...sorry !:D:D:D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
This has come up several times this past 18months, myself included with a low end pair of sennheisers that (under winmo) scroll thru my call history and select dial randomly. (Called up an ex gf in Australia once, lol. I had no idea till days later when i saw her in the call log.)

In my case, it seemed to get worse as the phone warmed up, adding weight to my suspicion (guess) that it is caused by signal bleeding into the wrong pickups, maybe a fractionally misaligned jack during construction, perhaps a noisy signal from a dodgy soldering job tricking the phone into thinking it has the third pickup and is a headset. I even half noticed that it would be more likely to happen with particular mp3's, but didnt really study it much, i just used different 'phones until i moved to android.

Under android, however, they work fine. I use them daily.
[HD2 General] IndigoHD:
It does not matter wether i use Android or Windows Mobile.

It has happened on both.

Can this be disabled somehow?

There must be software in the phones operating system that enables it to interpret these commands that are recieved. Can it not somehow be disabled then?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
on my nokia n95 i could set the default accessory profile, but i dont remember seeing anything similar in winmo, and cant see anything in the cm7 rom im on currently.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Before you get all tied up with hardware.

If the headphones don't support the options, then the most likely source of your problem is dust/debris in the headset port, try a bright torch and have a look, it only take a very small amount to raise the plug a fraction of an inch and cause these types of issues.

Make sure the battery is out before you insert a pin or someting to loosen any muck

This used to be a common problem befor larger smart phones came along, especialy for the guys, keeping phones in dusty pockets

Just for the record, whoever you are have no reason to be "scared" or anything like that by contacting me. Obviously we don't care that you're rooting your phone since we've helped you everytime, it's just getting to the point that someone seriously needs to help you out. As I said before, it'll benefit both of us.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] FallenAngelUK:
rDesktop 1.7.0

What is rDesktop?

rDesktop is a terminal services client for Linux - it will allow you to connect to a terminal services session of any Windows machine with Remote Desktop enabled.

This is a newer release of rDesktop than is available in the Debian repos.

Prerequisites

Access to a terminal from WebTop

A small amount of Linux shell knowledge

Usage

Copy the attached binary to somewhere on your device (I suggest /usr/bin, or somewhere else on your PATH)

Open a terminal

Enter the following:

rdesktop -g workarea -a16 -z -xm -P -0 <server>

You can use the following switches:

-g workarea - sets the window size to the desktop size

-f - makes the session fullscreen (ie. on top of all current chrome)

-a16 - sets 16bit colour depth (valid values are 8, 15, 16 and 24)

-z - enables compression (leave this enabled!)

-xm - sets the 'experience' level to 'modem' (valid values are modem, broadband or LAN)

-0 - causes you to be logged in to the console session (same as the /admin switch for mstsc)

I've found this to be invaluable for getting onto my desktop and servers at work. Now to see if I can get rid of that bloody awful Avant Window Manager and just use FluxBox :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
I don't have a lapdock, but its compiled for arm/tegra?

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
GUI support?

I know rdesktop is only terminal based, but is there a sort of add-on to it that allows for a graphical representation of the screen, much like rdp clients in the Android market? that would be far more useful for my purposes, although this is a great step in that direction.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] byted:
An easy solution is to simply create a shell script and then specify the server.

EG: ./rdp.sh <server>

Much prettier than having to type all the strings.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
grdesktop is a graphical front end. It works on hacked webtops such as webtop2sd or the debian chroot mod.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
Thanks! you just saved me $1000!

If I couldn't run some programs like matlab and mathematica, I would have had to but a laptop for classes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FallenAngelUK:
Yes, it was compiled on the Atrix itself (that took a while...).

I use the chroot method on my atrix (I like keeping things seperate!), so this is probably only useful for those of us based on Debian (don't know what version is currently in the ubuntu repos)

The grdesktop package from the debian repos will work just fine with this binary.

I might even start a repo just for webtop... anyone think that would be useful?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
YES

That would be very useful, actually. Although I'm terrible at using Unix OSes and terminals in general haha.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
this is awesome..almost as good as citrix xendesktop...who needs that though when this works so very well...one question did you get your sound working on the lapdock? when i try to enable sound via -r sound:local it says driver not found or smething like that..basically no matter what settings i use even via the gui tools or the cli..i get the same error and no sound....is there any way to get the sound to work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FallenAngelUK:
If you're using the chroot method, it may be that you need to add some packages.

I haven't tried it myself, but I remember seeing a thread somewhere related to getting RythmBox working - this involved sorting out some missing audio-related stuff.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] babcocca:
How is this better than the free 2X client for Android?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
Well it runs in the webtop, so you get a much larger screen. Sure you could expand the android in window screen, but that doesn't increase the pixel count.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
full-screen resolution grdesktop

Thanks for getting this working FallenAngel!

How would one use the xterm session to set grdesktop to represent the desktop as full screen on the laptop dock? 640 x 480 ( I think? ) just isn't cutting it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
add in -f

into your command line
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
any input on getting the sound to work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
I think I tried that, but it didn't work. Ill try again when I get home. Is the command grdesktop -f or after running grdesktop then do -f?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FallenAngelUK:
To connect to a server and run it fullscreen, try:

rdesktop -f -a16 -z -xm -P -0 <server>

i get an error:

"ERROR: Failed to open keymap en-us

ERROR: Connection refused"

i set all the remote desktop ok and all the settings ok, what was my mistake?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
First, thanks for compiling this. I can't imagine how long it took on the Atrix.

Second, I am using this with the lapdock and the arrow keys, home, insert, page up, and the like are not working. I am assuming this is a keymap issue?? Any one else having these issues? Does anyone have the keymap that I need?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
sound

im desperate to get the sound working

tried all the command line settings..loading some packages from synaptic etc..nothing works...

does anyone have the sound working on the lapdock!!!

it would be so perfect...

KUDOS for getting this working on the atrix i now use it as my laptop at work!!!!!!!!!!!

just need sound..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XXtremeAzzKicker:
This so much more complicated than just installing Remmina. apt-get install remmina

Great GUI and seems to work fine when connecting to Win7, XP and server 2k3.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FallenAngelUK:
You're right - I've not come across that before, but it seems to tick all the boxes.

Again, not sure if sound will work as expected.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
It doesn't. I assume it has to do with the same issue we experienced with rdesktop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
so no one has gotten sound to work....?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
I think someone may have succeeded with rythymbox but not with any rdp client.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
Just an FYI, and maybe you know this already, Remmina is just a graphical front end to rDesktop. Your apt-get command above will install version 1.6.0 of rdesktop which is not optimized for the Atrix. That version will work acceptably on a local network, but if you try to use it over a more limited connection such as the 3G network, or even from a distant connection, you will become extremely annoyed with erratic and delayed mouse responses. If you replace the 1.6.0 version with the one in the first post of this thread you will fix all of those issues.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
How would one go about replacing rdesktop? Im absolutely terrible with linux, but im trying to learn as a I go.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
The link provided in the OP is the rdesktop binary. Generally in linux you use a package manager to install things, but in this instance since it is a single file you can just replace the rdesktop binary with the one provided.

My suggested method to install this is:

1. apt-get update

2. apt-get install rdesktop

3. cd /usr/bin

4. mv rdesktop rdesktop.bak

5. cp [THE DOWNLOADED rdesktop binary] rdesktop

6. chmod 755 rdesktop

I did this all in a chroot environment so I was root. If you are doing this with wt2sd then you will need to sudo some of those commands.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
I use the full debian mod, so I should already be in a cheroot environment through xterm right? Other than that, thanks much kind sir.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
Did anyone solve the "Failed to open keymap en-us" error?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] krkeegan:
I have not tried to solve it, but it hasn't affected me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] SolidHelix:
I was assuming that was stopping me from connecting to my pc. I guess I don't have remote desktop set up correctly
[Atrix 4G Android Development] 65coupei6:
Are you sure? I just started with linux so I have no idea what I am talking about. But going to http://remmina.sourceforge.net/ did not mention any reference to rDesktop.

I installed Remmina on the Atrix and it works fine with my lapdock and 3G. No lags so far.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
From what it looks like, the updated remmina uses FreeRDP instead of rdesktop for the RDP client. However, the updated remmina isn't compiled for ARM, so you can't use it. What you're using is the older version using rdesktop (the older version of that too.) I would still try using the newer version of rdesktop just because it was built specifically for the atrix meaning it should be faster, but maybe not by much.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
i use the stock remmina from synaptic and it seems to work just as fast as rdesktop...

i could be wrong..but i dont see much difference..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] humzat:
anyone get sound working??

[Atrix 4G Android Development] haear:
You have to do following to kill keymap errors:

- Install rdesktop from synaptic (standard 1.6.0)

- exchange the rdesktop file in usr/bin with the 1.7.0 Atrix version

- chmod 0644 rdesktop 1.7.0

- copy keymap directory from usr/share/rdesktop to home/adas/.rdesktop

- chmod 755 on .rdesktop and the new keymap directory inside .rdesktop

- chmod 644 on all files in the new keymap directory
[Atrix 4G Android Development] haear:
I have a problem now with my last post:

Does anybody know why?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
Someone got hamachi working so now we can do remote connections!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
Care to elaborate? I searched and found a thread that you started, and someone did in fact get it working, but is the procedure the same for webtop2sd as it is for debian?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Mgamerz:
You need to install it inside of debian. Debian is provided via webtopmod. If you dont use debian it borks your phone and makes a bootloop.
