[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tageeboy:
After doing some IT work for several police stations in the state I decided there may be a need for an app that would protect honest citizens from the very few and far inbetween bad apple cops out there. Don't get me wrong the mass majority of the officers I talked with and worked with were really good guys but on more than a few occasions I overheard a few bad apple bragging about how they busted people for crazy stuff that got them a night in jail and a court date knowing the charges would be thrown out but by that point the innocent person had lost quite a but of their time, some money for fees, and forgret about the headaches. Most times this took place it was it was either "that office prick said the wrong thing to me on the wrong day"and one time a guy said "that ***** was too hot not to pull over, then she thinks she can talk shut to me? Ha! Who is getting their xxxx all poked and prodded now in the holding tank? " . So again these were rare cases but sure to the blue brotherhood even the good guys just laughed or ignored these actions. So here we are, my idea.

A script that could be activated very easily with a press of a button our two. This allows you the ability to activate before ths officer gets to your window after

Pulling you over.

upon activation start video recording so you can capture the whole incident on film. Send a text to a preset number saying I've been pulled and include the hours location and black out the screen as to not draw attention.

so are there any other suggestions that this script could include? I'm thinking maybe having the video auto send to an email account since the phone would be confiscated if you were booked. Maybe even have the phone reduce power usage so out could record while the cops were processing you and maybe you could get some interesting discussion while your

not with the phone. If you get really lucky and someone says something about your arrest thinking your in the cell and there its no way you would hear it could not be used I a legal defense but maybe it could be used to get some relief when you send a copy to the arresting person and include a note explaining this will be sent to all major media sources and his chief?

If anyone has any ideas on what to include here that is what I'm looking for. Development will be started after we get a solid requirements document together. Now in just asking members for some brainstorming. No idea is too silly and all posts are welcomed as long as they are intended to add value to this small effort project. If you want to flame me our other posters do out via PM. Lets keep the focus on productivity and let the trools do a they do elsewhere. Sorry, the PMP comes out of me sometimes.

Wow. Just wow. So this is like sort of an application that records video AND sound at the same time? They should really invent something like this. The crooked cops would think twice before er... crooking.

I offer my graphics skills to any programmer that starts developing this and needs graphics for a button our two.

Great idea OP!

Your graphics skills would be MOST WELCOMED since I still do most of my stuff so it looks like a kid with crayons lol. Thanks for the offer and I will be sure to add you to a list of contributors. It may be a little while before we are able to focus on the graphics but when

HI am chrooting ubuntu on a rooted asus transformer. Managed to get it working but I've ran out of space already hence I need to expand the iso. How would I do this

also how to get ubuntu to see the ussb devices plugged in?
[Android Software Development] thekooliest:
Can anyone point me to a tutorial of how I would go about making custom ROMs for Android devices (specifically ATRIX, but ill think ill figure it out from any tutorial). I do have a programming background, just came up short on a good introduction to Android ROM development.

Thanks,

Sam
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianl8888:
I'm quite experienced with Windows 6.5 devices - about 8 years with Windows devices, built my own ROM's etc for too many devices to count now

I've purchased an Atrix 4G for it's hardware specs but dislike the Droid O/S intensely (I won't detail why, just that this O/S does almost nothing I want to and almost everything that I don't want to). Before anyone pours shallow scorn on this, please realise that I knew beforehand that this was so. I had my eyes wide open here

So can we, through some processes, eventually finish with a Windows 6.5 O/S (NOT 7, the ARM CPU won't work) on the Atrix ? I can find a "dual boot" thread (good!) but no thread on the possibility (?) of using Windows 6.5
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
With Android, it never goes backwards...the only time I've seen phones change an operating system is when it's been WM to Android or iOS to Android. I don't think anyone has ever got an Android to run anything other than modifications of Android and I don't think it will ever happen. And woah you would need a massive team to rewrite WM for any Android and have anything really work...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianl8888:
Thanks for your reply - for my money, it's the Droid that goes backwards, but anyway ...

If this is not to be, then I'll persist with the task of trying to engineer the Droid to do what I want it to

My long experience with Windows devices showed me that the hardware is not produced for a specific O/S, but rather the O/S is written to fit the hardware. So if we can replace the Droid bootloader, flashing a different ROM is possible
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davewuvswaffles:
Just an FYI, when you say Droid instead of Android, it makes it seem like you're trying to troll.

Good luck on this though, I remember using WinMo 5 on my HTC 8125 nearly four years ago now and can definitely connect with WinMo appreciation to a certain point. I missed out on the WM6 and 6.5 parties, but I've only ever heard good things about (in regards to WM5).

Yes, "Droid" refers to a specific line of phones. "Android" refers to the operating system.

What sort of things are you looking for in an OS that Android doesn't offer?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
I'm curious on this as well. I also date back to some of the first WinMo devices. 3125, 2125 (yeah, I owned that), 8125, etc. Not sure I'd want to go back to 6.5, but to each their own.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianl8888:
Thanks - already have an HD2, over 15 months now. An excellent PDA but the Atrix hardware specs are a quantum leap

No one is developing software for WinMo 6.5 anymore, of course

OK, I appreciate that the nickname Droid unsettles people, so I won't use it anymore in posts here

From the answers here (much appreciated that people posted back), the short answer is that I'll have to re-engineer what I can. Not unexpected

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boi2gangsta:
thanks for the info :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
Just a thought, ask them to just replace the screen. They usually replace the bezal as well, or at least did on mine. It may cost you $35+tax, but you will still have your rooted evo and not have to wonder about what you get. If they are not busy, it would only take 1/2 hour or so to do. the gyro for the vibration may be another issue, just a thought...good luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
FYI, they "should" replace it due to those issues, but ONLY if you are in your 1 year warranty. After the one year, sprint doesn't do anything to the phones except update the software. Anything like this after the one year must be done through Asurion.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boi2gangsta:
Well I really don't know if its still in the warranty cus I bought it off eBay and thought that the TEP would cover everything. And for the screen problems and motor, I'm just looking for a new one maybe, free.

And plus I received it with the latest OTA so it doesn't matter cus I don't have root xD

[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
What on earth is draining my battery so bad? On 4 hour charge w/ screen on for a little over 1 hour and i got 47% battery left...display is 77% drain. Is there an app thats draining my batt like mad? I got 4g off, wifi off, gps off, and bluetooth off...and i've been in a strong Sprint area the whole time. What's the deal?
[HTC EVO 3D] sailow:
evo3d comes with a task manager, check whats on and kill it. i do it often
[HTC EVO 3D] sleepy8594:
Try watchdog.. it will notify you if an app is above threshold.
[HTC EVO 3D] marc.ientilucci:
i had a similar issue, nothing i did helped out... i ended up doing a factory reset and it seemed to resolve the issue. i have most of the same apps i had before and im getting great battery life now.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailow:
i'm just wondering, but... what's great battery life?

I get roughly 14 hrs max on my low - normal usage.

and a lot less when i actually use the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
About ~5 hours of screen on time is normal. I'm at 1 hour and 30 mins screen on and my battery is now at 20%. Horrid life...ill try a factory reset.

[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
Agreed this was happening to me so i ent and had the phone replaced and am having no issues this time
[HTC EVO 3D] snarebum:
I'm having good life...its been on for around 13 hours and been used for about 5 hours. I have a little over half of battery left.
[HTC EVO 3D] anti-up:
Turn auto sync off, that seems to help a little. Set task manager on home screen and use it every time you exit an app. The battery life on this phone is disgusting.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonamoose:
The only time I had really bad battery life was with the overclock kernal. I ghetto adb'd it to my phone around 12est and by 6pm est it was dead not low battery but completly dead. I poped the battery out reverted to stock temp rooted it without overclock now im back to the 12 hours heavy use 2 days with min usage.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.

How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.

In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.

Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Weird. I did a factory reset and now my battery is great.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Because you had some app acting up no doubt.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
But the market auto restored all my apps. Lol i've got everything prior to the reset.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
That is really weird...
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryno_666:
My battery will drain if I'm in a bad area. Every time I'm at a certain spot witch is known for weak coverage my battery drainage is rapid and only then the rest of the time its excellent.
[HTC EVO 3D] sniperkill:
You could also turn off auto sync for like news, and stocks, and whatever else you don't use much.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I do recall saying no to alot of data gathering services this time, maybe thats it?

So anbody who has the file please upload it.

Problem that I am facing in the I9003XXKP9 is the camera is not working, is there any way I can rectify the problem and retain the I9003XXKP9 in my mobile.Then may be I wont need the files for I9003DDKB2.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayott:
This is a memory problem related to the app download cache allocated with CM7. A good remedy and a good way to dramatically increase your phone's storage memory:

- download and use Rom Manager to create a partition on the sd card. (This erases the sd card so back it up first.)

- download and run S2S to move cache and program files to the sd card partition. This program tricks the phone to use the sd card as additional memory. It also creates a larger application download cache so you will have no problem downloading Google Maps. It only works with CM7.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WithAria:
What is S2S? How different is it from the DT app2sd?? :confused:
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsusparky621:
S2E is what he meant. It is the same thing as DT's apps2sd, but it only works with CM7. It's much easier to use S2E than DT's.

yeah, s2e is awesome, its running great, with no lag. I have been using it for about 3 months now with no problems. even with around 130 apps I still have the available storage of 160mb. I have moved all my apps and dalvik cache to sd. it was so easy to set up. I used rom manager and CWR to partition my sd to 512mb with swap disable, re-flash cm7 and restore my backup, done. I did try mounting my sd with ext4 but it was a little buggy so I re formatted and went back. :)

I don't think anyone makes the perfect tablet yet and they all seem to have their flaws. I returned my A500 because of poor GPS and got the Xoom. The GPS on the Xoom performs fantastic, but if I have one gripe about this unit its that the speakers make the back case of the unit vibrate quite bad. I find it extremely annoying actually. I suppose the only fix is to either use headphones or find a case that will dampen the vibrations? The moto gel case does not dampen those vibrations...
