true, but shooting raw does preserve more of the image, because its the raw/real image that sensors seems is not a jpg processed image the way camera applications decided the scene should look like.

basically would would be taking your camera off the auto mode.

with raw you would have greated control over white balance, shadows, highlights etc...
[Verizon Droid Charge] anghorpl:
There is a question about how many bits of image data you got on mobile sensor. On DSLR there is 12 or 14 bits information that is compressed to 8bit JPG information - that's why there is plenty more information about the image in RAW format. If CMOS in your mobile phone deliver just strait 8bit - your RAW will not have much more data.

As I don't have slightest idea how many bits of data is served by mobile camera sensor I can't say if there is a reason for RAW.

[LG Optimus 3D] visualizer2k:
framework-res.apk is the file contain theme graphics and settings, you can ask any galaxy user to send you that file and then you can replace it using Root Explorer in system folder.

Second way is to download my patch and replace framework-res.apk file inside using any zip software and apply patch using CWD.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomfisk:
My experience says that you will need to reformat your SD card. Even though stock and xrecovery can see it there is something wrong with it. If you mount it via USB does windows say there is a problem that it wants to repair (if you are using windows)?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zuli007:
I was posting here cose this is question about developing, If I posted in wrong section please move thread to right place.

I do reflash with seus at beginning - in 2.1 is working normally , but after changed system in xrecovery card dissapeard. (2 times - seus + different CM 6). And I also reformat card (fat32). I`m using Windows XP (but have also openSUSE).

Card was empty after format - so windows dont see any problems.

Make of my card is Patriot.

I install app - Multi Mount SD and when i mount card, PC normally see it. Only CM have problem with that.

I dont have any partitions, but i will try to delete and create main partition when i came back home (I need linux to do that, in work i have only windows xp). I tried one more time to format card (fat32) and nothing. Strange problem. Card work normally in memory reader, and in mass storage mode in X10.

In terminal on mount i dont see sdcard. I want to try mount it manually but i dont know what`s name of device is memory card. (sda1 , sda2 or...). Did anyone know (or want to check it in mount?) ?

I see card0 it is cardreader from X10 ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
You don't need Linux, there's a free Windows Program (MiniTool Partition Wizard). ;)

But since you haven't partitioned your card in the past, I doubt that this will solve your issue.

Try backing up your data and formatting the SD card.

Then insert it in the phone, see if it works are copy your data back.

Good luck! :)

Also, you can mount the SD card in xRecovery and see if it works.

[Defy General] deejaylobo:
I have a Nexus S and I'm attempting to Root/Install ROMs on a Defy. I must admit terms like SBF, 2ndInit, SuperOneClick were new to me. After almost 6 hours of reading and searching, and getting stuck at boot for a long time, I've successfully installed Pays 2.2 ROM on my phone, coming from 2.1 Eclair. But, I still haven't wrapped my head around the proper procedure for flashing ROMs. Can someone please answer the following questions?

1 - What is an SBF? How is it different from a Nandroid?

2 - Why does one have to flash an SBF as well as a ROM? This is confusing! Why do I flash a 2.2 Froyo SBF to install a 2.3.4 ROM? And in some cases why the Froyo SBF AFTER the Gingerbread ROM?

3 - If I want to switch between 2.3.3/4 ROMs (eg: MIUI and CM7) is it sufficient to just restore their Nandroids?

4 - I see a lot of talk about Downgrading. Why would one want to downgrade to 2.1, or even stay at 2.2 for that matter?

5 - How would one switch from a 2.3.4 ROM to a 2.2 ROM? Nandroid? Or SBF or both?

On the Nexus S, we just flash a custom recovery that stays put. Then we're free to restore Nandroids and things as we please. All this SBF stuff is a little beyond me. Any answers to these questions would be really appreaciated. Thanks!

[Defy General] twa_priv:
Here's what I don't understand (sorry for the noob question and the long post):

Here's what I did so far:

Started with stock US Froyo (Version.34.4.9.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US, Build Number: 3.4.2-107_JDN-9)

Rooted and installed ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.8

Took a nandroid backup

Installed CM7 (as per FAQ):

flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC

rooted using SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse

installed 2ndInit SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk

installed CM7 RC1v2 using Recovery - Custom Recovery

installed cm7-110715-1018-NIGHTLY by booting 2ndInit -> Recovery -> Stable recovery

This was actually my second install of CM7.

During my first install I did not flash Nordic and installed directly on top of Stock US 2.2.1 Froyo.

Then I only installed RC1v2 (no nightly) and the camcorder had very laggy recording.

So I decided to do it again by first flashing Nordic.

I did this by restoring my nandroid backup and it worked fine without flashing any fixed SBF.

Now I believe that the nightly probably fixed the camera and it wasn't because my I didn't flash Nordic first.

So my questions are:

* To downgrade, do I really need to apply a fixed SBF on top of my nandroid or is this only necessary if I started off on Eclair (and not if I started on Froyo) ?

The CM7 FAQ state that in order to downgrade from CM7 a nandroid backup AND a fixed SBF is needed.

Why would I need a fixed SBF if I have a nandroid backup.

* Is it ok to install CM7 on top of Stock US 2.2.1 Froyo or is it better to flash Nordic or does it not make a differnce at all?

* What are the BOOT179 nightlies (e.g. cm7-110716-0105-BOOT179-Jordan) and do I need to apply it if I'm already on RC1v2 and want to apply the latest nightly build?
[Defy General] xdaid:
Let's start with the big one, Defy has a locked bootloader, hence there's not an easy way to flash a custom rom, unfortunately no flash & go here. The bootloader check for signed moto products at a very low level, it's something like built-in in the hardware.

1) SBF is usually a stock ROM provided by Motorola, i say "usually" because you will find many leaked versions around. It is different from a nandroid backup, you cannot restore a SBF in the way you restore a nandroid. A SBF MUST be flashed with RSD Lite, which is an apposite tool delivered by Motorola.

2) Depending on the custom ROM you're going to install, you have to flash the appropriate SBF. For example, if you try to install a custom ROM based on froyo 2.2.2 to a phone which runs eclair you'll just get stuck at startup. Actually, before the Quarx work (GB) all the custom roms here were just customizations of SBFs. Now with the 2nd init stuff we've new opportunities but, until the bootloader is locked, we'll need the official SBFs as base for any custom rom, otherwise no way to bypass the check at startup.

3) It depends on the bootloader version. Your ROM should have the same bl version of the nandroid backup-ed one.

4) Actually there are two reasons ppl talk about downgrading. First, in case of the phone needs repairs you should reinstall the original ROM in order to avoid to void your warranty. Second, many custom ROM, included GB versions, are still buggy. Some ppl like them much, other ppl prefer going back to slower but more stable official ROMs.

5) I cant tell you for sure since i've never tried any GB so far, but, with RDS Lite + SBF you should be able to revert back.

All this, as far as i know, and i know not much..

EDIT:

I forgot something important, use fixed SBF + nandroids to preserve your downgradability. The way is 1) apply a nandroid 2) flash the fixed SBF with RDS Lite 3) apply a custom rom. If you don't and go directly with RDS Lite and the whole SBF then downgradability will be lost.
[Defy General] deejaylobo:
Thank you very much! I wish there was an FAQ for noobs. As per your edit, I'm pretty sure I've lost downgradability. Not too worried about it...yet. :p

But, you've helped a lot. I think I get it now. Thanks again!

This morning I wake up, and my thunderbolt is stock on 1x. If I switch to 4G, it will do 4g, but back to CDMA only, and stuck on 1x. I have 4G at home, but leave it on 3G because I normally am at work with no 4G coverage.

I flashed the stock mr 2 rom just to confirm and used the official radio just to be safe. No change.

Googled around a bit and here is a fix that worked for me...

Dialer -> ##778# ->Call -> Edit -> 000000 -> modem settings ->Rev A

Switch to enable from eHRPD and then hit back once. Menu->Commit.

Solved for me, but I don't know if it has adverse effects...

This makes your phone use the "old" version of EvDO. Basically what all 3g phones that don't have 4g radios use. If your area doesn't have 4g, doing this change shouldn't effect you at all and might get you 3g if you are stuck in 1x.

You can in 3G with the Thunderbolt. I did it yesterday. I work in 4G but live in 3G, but this feature is what finally made me pick the TB over the Charge.

I started this morning with the 3G/4G toggle on 3G only, to save battery, and around lunch I switched 4G back on and it has been there since... I haven't had issues with 1X. Must be a regional thing.

[Nook Color General] Scintie:
NookColor Version 1.2

About 2ish months ago I bought a nook color for my significant other, but I was having problems getting sideloaded books to work right on it so I decided to try and root it. I'm not extremely tech savvy, but can usually do something like this if I have directions.I rooted with manualnooter-4-6-16 The root went well and it was working fine for a couple days until dummy me started messing with it, don't know what it was that "bricked" it but I had updated the flash player then was in the rom manager and hit the backup button. The keyboard was acting funny so I rebooted it, it got to the screen that says Nook Color with the little android dude in the bottom right (nook color devs) and that screen just kept replaying itself except it would stop at the first O in Color and start over. I tried doing some research and followed a couple tutorials on how to return the nook to stock, none has been successful. The first one I followed was video tutorial on youtube to return it to stock 1.0.1, when it asked me to format the data I got and error format data failed..I just skipped that step and moved on. It booted and still showed me the nook color devs screen and once it completely booted showed a "How do you want to finish this action?" With only Home and Softkeys as a choice, I hit home and all it was was a black screen with a bunch of errors. so I tried a different tutorial, the next one I tried was to return it to 1.2 I followed the instructions, it again gave me a error cannot format data, I ignored it..it booted to the nook devs screen and just kept playing over again. I'm lost on what to do, I've searched and searched.

If it matters I've been using a 16gb micro sd because thats all I have, and was using the 2gb clockwork recovery image. I just want it returned to stock, and can't for the life of me figure out how.

Please someone explain to me in the most dumbed down way how to fix this darned thing.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Don't know how serious "brick" it was on your definition but let say on scale of 10, yr NC is bricked level 9 :). Still, no need to panic

1. Get the uSD card (2GB is enough)

2. make it flashable with CwM Recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery) either v3.0.2.8 or v3.2.0.1

3. hunt for "re-partition/re-format" thread, read through. I'll update the link if I find it, can't remember where on top of my head now.

4. perform the repartition/reformat back to original v1.2 NOOK

5. hunt for "restore to NOOK for v1.2". Again, I'll update the link later

6. flash it

7. keep all your fingers crossed
