Thanks everyone, i wanted to know cause i might just get one..
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] phnx_chckn:
can anyone tell me the best way to transfer DVD digital copies or itunes video to my touchpad? I am using windows 7. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] TravisAntonio:
I think MP4 is the best and Total Video Converter is the solution, because you can choose the Quality and even put more (Not working good, just let it be), really I don't know if Touchpad owns more HD formats but I think it will work properly.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] phnx_chckn:
I tried every video converter under the sun now and I am running into a problem haven't faced before. Now my video player won't work with the DVD digital copies or itunes copies because they are DRM protected. How do I remove the DRM protection and play them on my touchpad?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] TravisAntonio:
Well I don't know what to tel you because I never tried this before, but you can google it, I think you will find what you want to do, remember google is your friend and may have something but not everything. :P

Check out the Droid Concepts site please!

[Motorola Droid Android Development] woodyman:
This is not CM based, for anyone wondering, This is AOSP based off of Froyo, You may wonder why This is not GB, well think about all the issues with GB on the Motorola Droid 1, there are quite a bit, I tired GB and it just doesn't run smooth. So with that I have chosen to keep the Droid at the Froyo Android branch. Motorola didn't skip updating the Droid for any reason other than this, it simply doesn't run GB like it should.. Think about it, they started the Droid at 2.0, updated it to 2.1, then 2.2, the Droid had more updates than most devices have, so I don't believe they did it simply to push people into getting a newer model. They did it because it just ran the best on the given device with the hardware.

So I'm asking you to give it a try, see what you think, This ROM has been out for a long time, and I have been doing Android ROMs for over well over a year. I am new to the XDA community, but this is defiantly a top quality ROM with a stellar support group!

If you have any questions please post them below, or PM me, message me on Twitter @DroidConcepts, or drop me an email at woodyman AT droidconcepts DOT COM

It would be sweet if someone could get the sense working on the droid. I don't know if it could happen but I had htc and I liked it
[Motorola Droid Android Development] taptaptouch:
Used it and it seemed like a great rom but alas, it has its problems

- No lockscreen at all

- Home button vibrates but doesn't do anything

-Stock theme makes it very hard to see if 3g is on

- Theme picker thing couldn't find any downloaded themes
[Motorola Droid Android Development] woodyman:
Not trying to seem rude with this but the first 2 issues you pointed out are false, the 3rd, is correct, and I will get the fix posted, the reason being that you can change the bar color via Droid Concepts Settings, the default is white, but the theme is still in progress, with the next release the theme will be that of stock Android 2.2, froyo, theme options haven't been posted here yet, but I will ask that they are, being that this ROM has gotten the most support at DroidForums, but I will see that it also gets posted here for you all to see without forum jumping.

The Theme picker app doesn't work for this ROM that is a feature in GingerBread and CM, something I have not implemented in the DC Froyo ROM. So the only way to change the theme is the built in options or by flashing a zip over the ROM, and I will get those links posted here, sorry for the confusion, and thank you for the feedback.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] woodyman:
This would be very cool, I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of sense, but it and Moto Blur each have a few neat features.. :)

[Motorola Droid Android Development] cesarguaro:

This not work on milestone? that should be my error installing....
[Motorola Droid Android Development] skadude66:
You are in the completely wrong forum for Milestone. The Droid ROMs do NOT work on Milestone. Any ROM in the Milestone forum will work for Milestone, but not for Droid. Completely different software.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] cesarguaro:
and there is no way to port this rom for the milestone??? i tought that the droid and the milestone was the same mobil
[Motorola Droid Android Development] skadude66:
No way to port this, really. The Droid and Milestone have the same hardware, but the software is COMPLETELY different. The Droid has an unlocked bootloader, and the Milestone does not. Trying to flash a Droid ROM on the Milestone will soft brick your phone.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] woodyman:
yes does not work on the milestone, sorry about that man, If I had one to test on then I may be able to support it, but being that I don't it's hard to support more devices, sorry.. I don't know anything about the Milestone or its hardware or software, so I can't be of more help..

But thanks for checking it out :)

Rom: Miui

Apps at issue: Lotus Notes,Lotus Look Up and Lotus Calender Icons do not show up.

All other non market apps show except for my Lotus Applications. The applications are there, I recieve notifications and can open the programs through the notifcations once I have recieved emails and existing calender entries but the application icon does not show up.

These applications allow me to access my corporate email,calender and employee directory ( sorry if you know what it is, most people wont be familiar with these ).

I really like Miui so far but this is a deal breaker as I need fluid access to these programs on my phone.

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
OK, I admit it. I'm a coward. I am a complete scaredy cat when it comes to changing my bootloader, or to even using Odin. I like the safety and simplicity of recovery, and as such a spineless person, I have a few questions about some general workarounds that may or may not work.

While each ROM has its own instructions on how to install or uninstall from this or that, or how to move from Froyo to Gingerbread to CM7/MIUI to Eclair to Gingerbread to Froyo and back again with or without Froyo or Gingerbread bootloaders, with or without Voodoo enabled, with or without a complete wipe, with or without your IMEI intact, with or without an Odin to stock, and back and forth and back and forth.

I have a question which, hopefully, will apply to the majority of those transitions. I am currently using a 2.2.1 Froyo ROM with a Froyo bootloader and Froyo kernel. I would like to ask, nay, CONFIRM a scenario where I move safely to a Gingerbread or CM7/MIUI ROM built for the Samsung Vibrant without changing my bootloader, and without having to use Odin, either to switch to OR switch back from Gingerbread or CM7/MIUI.

Now, I've read a LOT about this subject. The problem with reading as much as I have is that you end up with conflicting data. Even if it's only 1 post that says you can do it an easy way and 100 others that say it's wrong, if the 1 post is saying what you want to hear, it's hard to dismiss, and so I will ask the question.

Is it possible to move to and from the many various ROMs and Kernels using only an intelligent use of Titanium Backup, ROM Manager, and a Kernel Flasher?

For instance, I make a full backup of my Froyo rom, and over to Gingerbread. I change my mind, and to return to Froyo without using Odin or Gingerbread bootloaders, I use a kernel flasher to flash a Froyo kernel (probably Bali), which supposedly puts me in soft boot but allows me access to recovery where I can go back to my Froyo backup. I'm also assuming this would work with a change from Froyo to CM7, or from Gingerbread to CM7.

Is this possible? Assuming I do a complete Data/Cache wipe and Fix Permissions as well as a Titanium Backup of 3rd party apps and a ROM Manager recovery backup of the ROM in-between every step.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
This would work on any touchwiz based gingerbread rom. If you flash CM7 or anything CM7 based (trigger redux or miui) you have to use Odin to get back. If you flash any of the touchwiz gingerbread roms you will not be able to see the recovery without flashing the bootloaders with odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
Does CM7 modify the bootloader? Is that why you have to use Odin to return to Froyo?

I appreciate the help, but I'm also just curious :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
I *could* be wrong but I think its because that CM7 uses a newer version of clockwork that our foryo roms don't support. It doesn't modify the bootloader.

Update: this is what I'm talking about
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
ok well for any of the gingerbread roms you really "need" to flash a gingerbread bootloader using odin, now while it isn't mandatory, for daily use clockwork access etc you will want to do it. I don't recommend it,

Now i'm comfortable with Odin and confident in myself and my phones hardware to not brick my device. I still won't flash a bootloader, cause if i forget to odin froyo bootloader before flashing a froyo rom, hardbrick.

now CM7/Trigger/Miui is different yes you need to use Odin to go back to stock/froyo should you decide you don't like them, there is less possibility of screwing up because all you do in odin is

Pit = 512.pit

PDA = T959UVJFD.tar

uncheck Auto Reboot (If odin fails just reflash again no need to reload etc.)

Check the following boxes.

Repartition

reset time

thats it.

installation of CM7 based roms is equally easy.

use the attached update.zip to flash Clockwork Recovery 3x (orange)

power off (pull battery) 3 button enter recovery

Factory Reset/Wipe Data

goto mounts menu and format system

Flash CM7 based rom (cm7, trigger, or miui)

Fix permissions

now while you do have to use odin to revert atleast your not messing with bootloaders, which gives you a certain degree of security in knowing that theres very little chance you will hurt your phone in any way.

hope i've simplified some things for you :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
Correct, and to add on it, CM7 is AOSP. You can compare it more to the Nexus S atleast in filesystem structure

CM7 CWR (Orange/Blue 3X/4X respectively)

Vibrant 2.1/2.2 CWR (Green/Red)

as far as i know you can't flash a previous version of clockwork recovery, then again i honestly have never tried. It may be possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boystuff:
No CM7 actually runs on 2.2 Bootloader, though as of 4 days ago'ish they added official support for those who want to use a GB bootloader for the easy 2 button CWR/Download mode entry

HTC EVO 3D (Rogers)

Voici le nouveau HTC EVOMC 3D.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/evo3d-rogers

It appears HTC used to have the EVO 3D for rogers listed separately but the links in HTC's own search results don't work! Not sure why the pulled/moved their EVO 3D rogers page.

I'm not sure about the 4G as I can't seem to find HTC's official specs, but I'm pretty sure the phone won't have NFC. On the android blog sites I glanced through, didn't see any mention of NFC for the EVO 3D.

Although, I have read there will be some aftermarket companies providing NFC support as an add-on. NFC is a really thin piece of technology that can fit under the back battery cover, which is also how it is implemented on my NS4G. Although I haven't ever really used it yet and I'm in NYC, supposedly support will be coming soon from retailers, etc.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Yeah, they also seem to have taken down (or never put up) the Rogers EVO 3D discussion forum either.

The Rogers EVO 3D is not an LTE phone, according to the Rogers rep at the sore where I bought mine. Which is somewhat disappointing as I live in Ottawa where LTE is being tested. He stated that Rogers doesn't actually have any LTE phones available currently, and the first should show up in September.

As such, the EVO 3D is not a 4G phone on Rogers.

Despite that, when connected to the Rogers HSDPA+ network, the phone will show "4G" on the statusbar, confusing things.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mnemoch:

[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Yet another reason the CRTC needs to kick the collective asses of our telecom oligopoly. HSDPA+ and 4G are two very different things, and calling one the other just confuses things, especially when people read/hear about 4G in other countries (where they actually mean WiMax or LTE).

[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
This really isn't Android development related but seems too technical for the general area. Please move it if there is a more correct place for this post to be.

I had the bright idea that I could get 'extra' storage by sym linking an internal application directory to the external SDHC card.

So I copied files and tried to link:

ln -s /sdcard/sdcard2/some_app_dir /sdcard/some_app_dir

This fails. After reading some here I figured out that its because the SDHC card is formatted in FAT32 and the internal /sdcard directory is a linux type format (ext2, ext3 or ext4, not sure which).

I figure no big deal, just format the SD card as ext3 (or 2 or 4 whatever matches, I just picked 3 for my attempts).

Now I can su in terminal and type:

mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk2p1 /sdcard/sdcard2

and its mounted and everything. Life seems good.

So I exit terminal and see what I can do with 'normal' apps. No go. Figure I had a permission problem. That can be fixed.

The bigger issue is the need to open a terminal session and manually mount the SDHC card.

So my questions are 2...

Is what I'm trying to do really do-able? As in will the whole sym link and ext3 formatted SDHC card idea work?

Secondly, how do I get the SDHC card to automagically mount?
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Try this yet ? I used it on a test build on the kyocera zio and it worked.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd

Let us know :)
[Dell Streak 7] bsoplinger:
I didn't mean that I needed to save app space since I already use app2sd but that I wanted to save space from the files some particular app saves onto internal memory by moving them to the SDHC card.

If the app(s) in question were written with the idea that there could be multiple places to store files I wouldn't need to do this but they aren't. They write to a single, fixed location that's on the internal memory of the Streak. Which means if I move those files to the SDHC I need to make them appear in their internal memory location, hence the link command in my OP.

Been trying to port miui to sensation.

At first it was good, booted up into miui, lot's of staff crashing and ****.

Then I thought I would port from G2X. Went through the kitchen and exported zip.

Flashed, it went rather quickly. Rebooted and nothing comes up. No light, no bootloader. Even led is off.

What the heck?

With it connected to computer throught usb cable, it detects QHSUSB_DLOAD device but no drivers

Can't get into bootloader

Can't see device from adb

Only detected device when plugged in is QHSUSB_DLOAD​

I think I might have bricked the device with wrong boot.img (from G2X) :eek:

Problem: I had S-OFF so replacement/warranty is void
[HTC Sensation] jM2.me:
If I could find Qualcom HSUSB driver I could try flashing native bootloader, but yet I can't find drivers :|

Found 9008 driver, doesnt work :|

Would flashing bootloader help tho?

Added:

Please tell me /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 was a bootloader and s-off evidence is gone :|
[HTC Sensation] DarkShim:
I did something similar to what you did. I have not restored my Sensation, however, I do have the 64bit drivers. I've attached them. If you can tell me where to get and how to flash the native bootloader, I would be eternally grateful. I am willing to try anything. Altho, I have to admit, I'm not sure how it would be possible to reflash ANYTHING considering ADB can't see the phone...

On a side note, if the phone can't be turned on, then I don't think anyone would know it was rooted. I'm pretty sure HTC will just reflash the EMMC and send it off again as a refurb. I've already ordered a replacement from T-Mobile...
[HTC Sensation] jM2.me:
I have two more sensations. SO I could backup them and restore on mine.

Had to do this with htc magic a while back.

I'm not really sure why you're having a hard time installing drivers... They loaded perfectly for me first time I tried.

Still, can you tell me what I need to do to reflash the phone's bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] jagaroth:
I can give you some half good news.

Having an engs-off demo phone and testing recoveries/roms etc before alpha rev I got used to bricking and restoring the device.

On the day alpha-rev came out I bricked my s-on unit in similar circumstances to you (no charge light, screen, fastboot, recovery etc) only a USB device without drivers (same as yours but with HEX after).

Sent it for repair claiming an OTA had bricked it. HTC replaced the phone.

Seems that if you are going to brick an s-off phone its best to super-brick it so they can't see what you have done!
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
boot.img is not your bootloader. Bootloader file will be hboot_x.xxxx.nb0. Boot.img is part of your boot sector for your ROM.

You should still be able to get into bootloader with the wrong boot.img. Did you leave an hboot file in there also?
