I use it for special moments, though when in doubt, I first take a stock pic, then use HDR. Sometimes the differences can be minimal, and a lot of times it can be much obvious that HDR is a better choice.

IMO it looks like you are either zoomed in on both pictures or your white balance is incorrect. Both pictures look bad... are you set on "Auto" for everything??
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
Yah I have local and micro contrast on high. And its on pure color vividness

[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
I don't see any of those on the stock camera app.
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
I meant on the hdr app sorry. The stock camera was just the normal settings. The room I took the pic is florescent lit. Not sure if that makes a difference

You don't set the white balance to get a different effect... you set the white balance to get a proper picture for your situation...
[Epic 4G General] Ultro:
Thanks for the post, very informative. Going to download and install now ^^ Only other app I use for picture taking is CamScanner for paper documents. Didn't really consider installing a camera app till now ^^
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Sure you can. It's just like in the film days when you would mis-match the type of film to the lighting to get a particular effect.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
I was talking about just taking a picture, not getting fancy :)
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
Love it! Will the HDR camera still work and everything be ok if I remove the stock camera?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I don't know if it will still work, but there are some down-sides to doing the HDR. Because it takes three consecutive pictures and combines them, your image will be messed up if something moves during the acquisition time. So while it may be great for still-lifes and scenery, it can be nearly useless for taking snapshots of your friends/family/pets/sporting events/etc.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Not everything will look Dandy in HDR, it also doesn't take flash, or record, so you'd be breaking basic functionaity by suggesting removing the stock app. <.< Ffs..

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compywiz:
Hey guys,

I'm reading through the dock threads and I see a lot of issues with the battery, but I didn't see anyone with the same problem as me. Maybe it's not a problem, but I figured I'd put it out there just to make sure.

Sometimes my dock will read at 0% battery, then suddenly spike up to the proper battery percentage. It usually happens after it's asleep, then wakes up. Last night I had charged the dock to 100%, then unplugged and plugged into the tablet a short while later. It was reporting 0% and had a flashing orange light. I then charged it today and it held the charge, but still doing the strange 0% to "real" percent thing.

I have both a B60 dock and B60 tablet and I am using Prime 1.7 ROM.

Has anyone heard of this? Is my dock bad? I can still RMA it as it's brand new.

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compywiz:
I did a test last night by fully charging the keyboard then plugging it into my tab at 17% battery. When I woke up, the dock had 3% and the tab had 76%. This seems pretty on par with what I'd expect. I just don't want to charge the tab and have it not hold a charge at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikelt89:
How do you even know how much your dock is charged?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
I use a couple of the dual battery widgets (still haven't decided on one). I sent my dock in for repair on the drainage issue a couple weeks ago. Since getting it back I have noticed that when I wake the tablet up, it can take a long time (Sometimes up to ~5-10 minutes for the dock battery to show the correct voltage). I had upgraded to 3.2 while the dock was out for repair, so don't know if its something with the new dock hardware, or a 3.2 issue.

The other day had the dock reading 0 and even after an hour of use, never did show it had a charge. Thought I was screwed because I had read several threads that said if you ran the dock down to 0, they couldn't ever get it to charge again. Plugged it in overnight and let it set, fired it up the next morning and both were at 95+%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 321eod:
Would also like to know - is there a setting on the transformer that allows me to view the docks battery status?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compywiz:
When you click the notification bar, it says "Docking Connected" and then the dock battery percentage to the right. I'm assuming that is the dock battery percentage... I'm not sure if it's part of the rom, but I think I remember it being there when I was stock.

Thanks for chiming in. I'm thinking this might just be a software issue and not a dock issue then. I'll see how things go over the next few weeks.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelApocalypse:
Hi guys,

I recently rooted and S-OFF'ed my Desire. Really amazing. Everything went fine.

Really enjoying my phone more than ever before.

Now trying to flash my splash screen and boot loading screen.

I'm using Android Flasher 1.8.0 as suggested in the Noob tutorial section.

Splash screen went fine. Automatically reboots into fastboot. And flashes.

The tutorial doesn't actually doesn't go deeper into flashing the loading screen and whether or not it's supposed to automatically reboot into fastboot.

When i manually reboot into fastboot sometimes it can't find the process fastboot.exe and sometimes it can.

When it can it says it can't find my device when it's trying to flash the new loading screen. I don't understand why. Everything else i have tried works fine (except the first time i tried to S-OFF, it also said it couldn't find my device)

It did actually remove my RCmix-S loading screen. So now i only get a black screen when starting up. Everyhing still works fine though. Boots normally.

What should I do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You cannot flash a new bootanimation with android flasher or fastboot. You have to replace the bootanimation.zip in /data/local or /system/media. You are s-off, so you can do this in os. Just use an explorer with root access (e.g. root explorer), mount /data or /system as r/w (read write) and replace the existing one with yours (but make a backup of the old before and make sure you used the correct resolution).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelApocalypse:
Okay that was kind of confusing then.

Still weird it's not recognizing my phone but is finding fastboot.exe

Anyway I got root explorer mounted /data/local and put a bootanimation.zip in the folder. It doesn't work though. Does it also have to be in /system/media

or just in one of them??

Thnx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
It only has to be in /system/media.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Do not post in a thread which has nothing to do with your problem! And use the search.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelApocalypse:
I tried putting it only in /system/media and only in /data/local.

Both don't work.

My loading screen is still total black. I don't get it. What am I doing wrong. Is there some other file interfering. Do I have to delete something else....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
It does not have the correct resolution. It has to be 480x800.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelApocalypse:
Actually it has. I checked.

They are 480 x 800, 24 bit *.PNG. Downloaded these in the splash screen thread.

I got it sort of working now.

I renamed the zip to bootanim.zip instead of bootanimation.zip. Don't know if it should matter but now i'm getting a loading screen.

It's just text reading "Android" with a animated glow going over it.

This is not the one i put on the phone though. Not the pictures in the zip.

Is this some kind of default loading screen?

Which means it's still not working.... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Which rom do you currently run? If a sense one, the bootanimation has to be in /data/local. If aosp one, it has to be in /system/media. That's the basic. Furthermore, in your bootanimation.zip has to be minimum two parts:

- one folder named part0

- one file named "desc.txt" (description file)

In the folder named part0 has to be the png files in the correct resolution (480x800x24). In the desc.txt you have to put the following ouput:

480 400 x p 1 0 part0

'480' is the width (not variable)

'800' is the height (not variable)

'x' is here just a placeholder. You have to replace with a number. This number sets the frames (your choice, what you set)

'1' is the count how often the bootanimation loops (your choice)

'0' sets the a pause (max 10 possible)

'part 0' sets the folder in which the bootanimation files are (not variable).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixelApocalypse:
Woooot it's working!!

I'm using RCMixS_v2.0_A2SD+_BravoHboot which is a sense rom.

I put it in /data/local.

The animation was only 6 frames. Which was incorrect in the desc.txt.

Also using NO compression when zipping was the key.

Not knowing this is probably key to many people not getting this to work.

Maybe it's a good idea to have that tutorial be made a sticky or include it in the "Complete upgrading guide"

Thnx a lot MatDrOiD!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
No problem. :) And you could make very happy if you press the thanks-button. ;)
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Here's what you need to do!!

First, make a NANDROID BACKUP of your stock, rooted setup.

TRUST ME on this, you'll use it to do things like GPS fixes, PRL updates etc.

Use Amon Ra. DON'T use ROM Manger. Backup everything except Cache.

On that Nandroid you'll want Titanium Back Up, GPS Status and updated Maps installed.

For ROMS, if it were me, and I knew what I did now, I would start with the Sense ROMS, since you're used to that, just to see what a GOOD Sense ROM feels like.

Always wipe everything in Amon Ra, except the SD Card itself (Although people will argue with me that it's not necessary). Trust me on this, too, ok?? Just do a full wipe and erase any doubts when you have issues that it was wipe related.

Then, once you realize that Sense is boring, give CM 7 a shot, or better yet, MIUI!

AND READ READ READ READ READ as much as you can before you do dumb things.

And conratz!! It's about time!
[EVO 4G General] Ipaulone:
Exactly what i was looking for, thanks! :]
[EVO 4G General] twiztidvandal417:
Thanks! I was looking for this as well, in the process of creating a complete backup with amon ra. Was kinda wondering what I should flash tho, sense bores me
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I've had them all, and I'm locked in MIUI now
[EVO 4G General] mxl180:
So you're saying backup the following?

Boot

System

Data

Recovery

Wimax

Sd-ext

.andriod-secure

that's everything but cache - why not cache?

Also, what's a good rom if Battery life is most important... one that undervolts?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Cache is just temp files. You don't need them, but everything else, yes.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
You only need boot data system and Wimax. I reccomend using a format all zip between rom flashes.
[EVO 4G General] dsotm82:
What do you recommend for backing up SMS?
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
I entered my beta key and I'm stuck at zerging root....

its been around 5 minutes.
[EVO 4G General] github:
This thread isn't the place for help rooting. Plenty of others, or post in Q&A.

Key thing is to backup, at least, your WIMAX. It's almost impossible to lose your WIMAX partition anymore, but better be safe than sorry.

You could nandroid everything.. but it's kind of pointless. There are RUUs out to flash back to stock, and zips you can flash too. Mainly just ease of use since the nandroid will already be on your SDcard.

Also as hipkat says, do yourself a favor and don't use ROM Manager. Don't use CWM recovery either (well, it's up to you but it's pretty old now). Amon_RA is the mature stable recovery, and the TeamWin recovery is the new kid on the block... functional but not as robust yet.
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
Sorry about that lad, and yeah I will backup everything if I can get the damn thing to work :D
[EVO 4G General] github:
It looks like quite a few people are having issues. Just hang tight and see if there is a fix.

Also check the guide over in the development section to make sure you got the step %100.
[EVO 4G General] gab2012:
Well, I just got it!, uninstalled HTC sync and drivers, reinstalled the HTC drivers and ran the .exe zerging root passed!

Just a quick question on what to restore with titanium

I tried a titanium restore of only apps and data and it went fine, then I tried to restore some system data and started to get a bunch of non stop force closings. This was with mikg 2.45, what can safely be restored?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Really, nothing in System data, since it's all included in the ROM. The ONLY thin I restore in System Data is my Alarms [CLOCK]
[EVO 4G General] AA27:
I saw the post on MIUI and is impressive! I have CM 7 on my Evo, always go with the CM Roms. I would love to try it but I use a lot my Google Maps/Navigation for the road and for what I read they still tweaking that on MIUI or correct me if I am wrong?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Nope, it works great. I use Navigation a lot, and when I went camping this weekend, it stayed dead on in the sticks, no probs.

You just need to do the Sense GPS fix, same as in any AOSP ROM

[EVO 4G General] Boltons75:
Ok, using amon ra as my recovery, I was use to my wife's evo worth clockwork, when doing a nandroid in amon is there a way to name the backup like in clockwork. And if not is it safe to rename it using my file manager.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
You can rename a nandroid in Amon Ra. LEAVE The name it gives it, and add to the end, with no spaces.

Example: BDEARS-20110718-0130-MikG_2_2_full
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I should probably expand on this a bit.

NANDROIDS

4 nandroids I ALWAYS have; My stock/rooted setup that I did right after I rooted with Titanium Backup and GPS Data installed.

A Nanadroid of a new ROM, before I set up all my prefs, restore my apps, etc, a nandroid of my last complete setup, in case I need to go back, and a Nandroid of a complete setup of whichever ROM I'm currently using. BTW, Nandroids take up a lot of card space, so I delete older ones after I've moved on.

TITANIUM BACKUP

Never had a problem restoring on any ROM with this. ONLY Backup your user apps with data, not system files. Those all get restored anyhow in the new ROM you flash.

In my signature is a really good method to flashing new ROMS with a good wipe, battery stats reset and how many reboots I do to help the ROM And Kernel settle in

DT APPS2SD

Use it. There are good tutorials on partitioning your SD Card and how to set it up.

ROM MANAGER

I'd ONLY use this to fix permissions and that's it.

BATTERY

The BEST method I've found to condition your battery is to do 2 things: The HTC Method AND The 10 TIme Unplug method, combined.

Charge for 8 hours or so, unplug, power down, charge for another hour.

Unplug, power up, let it sit a few minutes, power down, charge for one more hour.

While powered off, unplug, then plug in til the light turns green.

Repeat that about 10 times (I saw one guy say he spent 2 hours doing it til the light was just green as soon as he plugged it in...lol)

Boot to recovery, wipe battery stats, reboot to system

Also, keep 3G/Data off unless you need it. That EATS batteries. You can still make calls and text. WiFi doesn't seem to be much of a drain at all, mine is always on. GPS can go either way. I leave it off, but people have said that having it on doesn't affect battery life so much.

Also, if you ever pay for an app, I SWEAR by Start Up Manager. Lets you untoggle all the BS apps that boot up, kind've like MSCONFIG \ Startup in Windows.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
One more thing:

When you post here about problems you havem please be as informative and detailed as possible.

"My Phone wont' boot, help" won't cut it.
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
You should add some popular root apps, scripts (my signature), format all zip etc

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Good idea. Scripts, I don't use, but Root apps:

Titanium Backup

Root Explorer

Astro File Manger

MSL Reader

OS Monitor

ROM Manager (Only for fixing permissions)

Script Manager (If you run scripts)

Startup Manager

Ad Free

Battery Moniter Widget

Those are my must haves for System Tools and some are paid for apps
