Ok, So the aries file was actually only 0.14 seconds long while the glass break was 0.94. Quite a bit longer...

aries was about 5k (4982 bytes) so I did a few things to try to hit those targets for length and file size.

glass_break_compressed.ogg is your original file, same length, with more compression. That got it down to 10k

glass_break_trimmed.ogg I actually cut content out of the file to shorten it, but it was mostly dead space and I think it still reflects the original pretty well. that got it to 8k

glass_break_trimmed_compressed.ogg is the trimmed version with extra compression, I can't tell the difference between the two on my laptop speakers, that got it to 6k.

If you can get any of the the above versions to work I would try them in that order so you get the best quality. Granted none of them are equal to or smaller than the one you are replacing in size or length, but they are down to around .24 seconds so its close on length. I couldn't get it any shorter and still have it sound nearly identical to the original.

That said... If none of those work, then this one is a little more than just trimmed (lets say chopped lol), and it includes the extra compression. Its not quite as robust as the original sound or my trimmed versions, but I think it sounds pretty good even though I had to chop out some of the meat of the audio and I got the file size down to just below the aries version.

it is called:

glass_break_chopped_compressed_5k.ogg

Thats as far as I could go and still get something resembling breaking glass. I sure hope one of them works for you! Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

WOW:eek: I didnt expect that much help!!! your awesome I will test these as soon as I get a chance, but def b4 i goto bed...

P.S. I'm willing to bet its gonna be one of the last 2 lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmuggy:
well......

Nothing worked... oh well i thought it was a good idea...

Edit: i think theres something else were not doing right i noticed that in 7zip the files compressed size is the same as the file size maby no compression would work but idk how to achieve that & still keep the sound the way its made to be

& also i figured out that even if i put the stock file back in i still get no buttonpress sounds......

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenmuggy:
i think it has sumthin to do with bitrate & i kno there cant be any compression. it might hafta be either mono or stereo. i kno its super specific, i got a few sound files that are downloadable on this post
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Old rumor was that the file sizes had to match exactly to the kb. I don't know where I saw it and it was hard to do without getting sloppy.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilesja:
Were you ever able to put the stock file back in and get it to work? I think that unless that works we won't be able to get any custom sounds in there.

No once it was out it didn't work any more, maby it has to be de-re-compiled...

what i did was find a mp3 or wav then cut it down & then convert it to ogg but it still didnt work i wonder if its controlled by an xml...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ5150:
Hey, I'm a little late, but I re-compressed your glass sound. Try this.

The original is 255 ms in length, and it's locked as a TRACK. So.... you cannot extend the length or size without altering the Track codes which is what the apk is set to. I shortened the glass sound as much as I could to fit.. it doesn't sound like glass anymore, but it's not the original pop sounds either.

More like a Tick or w/e. Give it a shot, see what happens. let me know.

Hi all,

I hope I am posting this in the right section. :)

I have an idea for a social-networking Android application with a (hopefully) killer feature that will allow people meet safely and does a gamefication of the acquaintance procedure.

BUT, I am not a coder, I develop workflows and user experience. Location, push notifications, Honeycomb U.I. and many more are all there.

Hopefully, to this post will reply developers interested in working on such a project and have the time and knowledge to contribute and be partners in something that may have a good international growth.

Thank you for your time,

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Muessig:
Hey guys I wanted to make this post in the forum for his rom but I'm so new it won't let me so I thought I'd do it here. I have just today rooted my HTC Hero GSM phone and installed the new v3.1 rom from elelinux. Everything works fine but I'm just missing 2 widgets.

When I was running v2.1-update1 i had it so that one of the home screens had a full screen bookmark widget and another one had a full screen (well I mean so big you couldn't actually place another shortcut or anything on that screen) widget for my text messages. I know that the rom has both txt message app and a bookmarks section in the browser but before I could put both of these on the home screens and when I go to widgets from the home screen those two are missing from the list.

Can anyone help me out how to find it if I am missing it, or can you point me in the right direction?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] timbohobbs:
I think those are sense widgets you refer to. Won't get these on aosp but there are similar alternatives on the market
[Hero, G2 Touch General] naevtamarkus:
I have the same issue... and I don't think it's related to Sense apps. I have tried to download, for example, "Laik Agenda widget", that works perfectly in other non-sense android phones, does not appear in the list.

I have also tried with 4 or 5 different calendar widgets, and no luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] VandaL^:
I had a same problem.Are you using elelinux ROM like OP?If you do, then go to settings>applications>manage apps>choose widget that you want and tap on it> then tap move to phone and thats it.That was the problem when I couldnt see some widgets, downloaded from market, in the list.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwnjabi1:
hello, i made a nandroid backup of my MIUI rom. I am currently sitting at stock. if i straight up restore the backup off rooted stock will everything be dandy and run smoothly, or do i have to be on stock MIUI to restore a nandroid of MIUI?

Thanks guys
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
A far as I know you only want to nandroid restore on the same system build especially if your on a mtd build or a stock rfs or ext4...I would only restore a stock backup in stock rom, miui backup on miui rom and so fourth
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkun:
If you're going to try that, I'd at least flash the CWM4 CM7 recovery and the ext4_formatter_all packages before restoring the backup. That way you'll have the latest recovery and you'll be on voodoo.
[Nexus S General] arvindrao86:
i don't know if I received a "dud" unit in the sense, but i have noticed INCREDIBLE battery life on my Nexus S with moderate use. the first day i had it (2 days ago), I charged to 100% and then started using it. I would say I did about an hour of browsing, an hour of talking, an hour or so of texting, maybe 10 mins of GPS use, and an hour of unlocking, rooting, etc. also just left the phone unplugged from charger overnight. on the first charge, there was a point where i was at 1 day 12 hours and 16 mins on battery and still had about 40% left or so. I even have a pic of the battery usage page I will post. *it should be noted that i turned off wifi, gps, etc when i was not using it. and did not use a live wallpaper. *edit: i also had background sync turned on the entire time. syncing gmail, contacts, calendar, etc.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
That's over 2.5h "display on"-time and still 40% left, sounds quiet impressive. There's something wrong with your phone, in a good way.

If your numbers aren't accurate though, it's "normal". Idle use of 1% and less per hour w/o widgets and background active apps is nothing special.
[Nexus S General] jrdatrackstar:
it may also be related to you being on AT&T. i've read in various forms where people say that AT&T's mhzs (don't know the technical term) use less power than T-Mobile and WAY LESS than Sprint, which results in better battery life (the whole CDMA vs GSM thing).
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
The Sprint CDMA ones seem to have the most battery issues.
[Nexus S General] derekwilkinson:
yeah coma takes more battery but also the nexus s 4g seems to have signal issues which drain the battery
[Nexus S General] jrdatrackstar:
I'm actually seeing an increase in battery life with GRJ90....
[Nexus S General] gkrawiec:
My phone without mobile data on lasts about 20 hours...with mobile data enabled, but not necessarily active because i am usually on WiFi the battery life is reduced to maybe 5 hours...pretty bad...mobile here is Edge

Could it have anything to do with being in a bulding with thick walls? maybe the phone is using more power transmitting just trying to figure out where the cell is?

-gk
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
While it is true that bad signal harms battery life, 5h is ridicously low. Those 5h, how long is the display active in that period?

Check the battery status and see what is draining your battery so fast.

Try to change the WIFI rules from "turn off wifi when display is off" to "never turn off wifi" (you can still disable wifi the normal way, it just won't time out if there's a valid connection available), you can also set your phone to "2g only", if - as you said - your area has edge only anyways to further safe battery.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
well its not a cdma vs. gsm thing, if sprint where able to purchase those frequencies they would have and it would have been different.

Much the same with tmobile them being so late to the game those are the best freq. they could obtain.

much like how sprint/clear's wimax sucks really due to bands it had to run on.
[Nexus S General] gkrawiec:
during the 5 hours, display is on for very little time....wifi is not a problem..when the display is off i still get email notifications and all that...i dont turn wifi off when i go out to the street and its constantly searching and i still get like 20 hours...but with 2g on, battery goes fast. I am not worried YET though, as my time at this 2G only location is about to end soon, then i will test 3G. I will spend some time in the US and plan to get simple mobile there...i belive that will be 3G with the Nexus S.

I do more tests once I get there...here I cancelled the 2G data this week since it drained the battery and i barely got 20kbits downloads (literally useless).

-gk
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
Out of curiosity, how much time were you getting before and after the update? I sold my two Nexus phones because I was getting maybe 5 hours tops with average (not heavy) usage!

I am hesitant to try the Nexus again, unless everyone says the update made the battery life much better for the CDMA version.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Well, 3.5-4h w/ display turned on is normal.
[Nexus S General] jrdatrackstar:
This is around what I'm getting (without a LOT of Wifi usage, maybe an hour 1 tops.....the rest is on 3G). The way I like to test my battery is to see how far I can go WITHOUT Wifi because of course it will last forever with Wifi on (should anyway). I can average like 15 hrs a day, with around 3.5 hours of display time on (really depends on what I was using it for) after the update....

Along with that, the new Gmail update will most definitely increase the battery life even MORE now because I keep EVERYTHING on, including:

- GPS AND 3G location services (use to turn 3G location services off, but the battery has been so nice on the Nexus I never found the need to anymore)

- Auto-sync turned on for Google Account services (Gmail, back-up, etc.) and Exchange account

- Exchange Push account (syncs 3 days worth of stuff)

- Auto brightness for my display (I drive 2 hours to work and 2 hours back, and on the way home the sun is constantly on the screen so it has to auto adjust for the brightest setting for however long I use it driving home from work).

I don't have many accounts syncing or anything (not into Facebook, although I have one) so that may be why. But prior to the update, my 3G signal was weaker so my battery would die a little faster (although I've ALWAYS been able to make it through a day of work with my Nexus). For me, the battery life has always been the best of any smartphone I've used, but after the update it seems a little bit better; not DRAMATICALLY better, just a little better (still can't touch the iPhone 4 on-call phone I had for work for a week......didn't have to charge that thing but one time during that week :mad:)

Again, this is with the Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
I meant 5 hours when it is sitting idle most of that time. Maybe 2-3 hours of actual usage.
[Nexus S General] LowQue27:
I have going long as 15 hours with normal usage.
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
You seem not to be on Sprint (cdma) so this particular battery issue is not related to you...
[Nexus S General] Wildheathen0341:
I'm really amazed to be hearing about all of these phones with such terrible battery life. I have a Nexus S 4G & my battery gets me through half the day now this could be due to the 1750mah battery I'm using & then I'll switch to the stock 1500mah to finish out the day. I consider myself to be a fairly heavy user because I'm always on it sending text, emails, web surfing, phone calls, utilizing it as a hotspot & the only thing I've noticed that really puts a drain on my battery is downloading massive amounts of data, streaming data & watching movies on Netflix. I even use it to game online with my PlayStation 3 because I'm in an area where there is no internet & signal strength is all but none. I guess I too have an anomaly but nothing like a day & a half I wish. If there is anyway to extend battery life any further I would love to know.
[Nexus S General] rockethot:
I get amazing battery life on my Nexus S 4g. I owned the Epic and the Evo before the Nexus S and I gave up on those because of the battery life. I'm usually at over 30% at the end of the day. I do have the latest stable build of netarchy installed. I undervolted using setcpu and have 1 profile. Underclock to 200mhz when the screen is off. I sync my Gmail as well.
[Nexus S General] hugo87:
What are your undervolt settings with that kernel?
[Nexus S General] rockethot:
1.4ghz: 1380mV

1.3ghz: 1280mv

1.2ghz: 1230mV

1ghz: 1150mV

800mhz: 1070mV

400mhz:885mV

200mhz:800mV

100mhz: 800mV
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
I can say with nightly 63 and the matrix 5.5 kernel with no profiles in setcpu. today after unplugging at six with WiMax turned on with emails and junk then with a solid forty min drive home steaming from spotify my phone dropped 20% I am happy
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
so you are happy with a 20 percent drop in 40 minutes?

or am I misreading this? Thanks.
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
Are you pleased with half a day battery life? I guess people have widely varying expectations...
[Nexus S General] rockethot:
I agree with you, half a day of battery life isn't good. I still have juice to spare at the end of the day with my Nexus though.
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
Have you updated yet? If so, did it affect your battery life?
[Nexus S General] rockethot:
Not really.
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
Bummer, that was the one thing which might have gotten me to purchase another Nexus. Oh well.
[Nexus S General] ronnienyc:
Did you have it plugged into the computer at all during that time?

Sometimes Android phones do not reset the battery counter even though they are getting USB charge, and it looks like you have gotten incredible battery life when you actually have not...

I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.

HELP PLEASE,

If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:

It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.

I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?

The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.

So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.

Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts :).

Okay, let's try something new here...:D

Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.

So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).

Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:

https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk

MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39

(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ;)).

Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.

Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popfan:
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA

I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.

Thanks!!

Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.

Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.

I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:

- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)

I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.

Cheers!
