Before when xRec had this "Unable to access SD card" issue...

I found an MicroSD USB adapter where i could just plug in my SD card into it, and it becomes an USB stick.

From that i just transfered a new rom/etc, then just unplug and jam it back into my phone.

Not sure if that helped at all but ya, if you have a broken USB Connection... that'll be a smart alternative~

Good luck mate,

J.T
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I'd probably go with the above suggestion, get a micro sd card reader and transfer the needed files that way, boot into recovery and install them. Or whip out your tools and disasemble your phone and re-solder the broken usb if possible. Good luck with any way you choose!
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
thats so bad:(:(:(
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
If you could of access recovery that would of had been great because you could buy a card reader insert your sd install desired rom and flash whit recovery but not so sure about baseband since you have broken usb :/

[Desire General] niko123456:
Hi all,

On my Ubuntu 11.04 box with Banshee, my music looks fine and the way I want it.

But of course, for some f&&king reason on my Desire (Insertcoin 1.0.9 but also in stock versions), my tags don't display correctly at all - in some cases they are completely ignored and seem to be drawn from the file name.

Does anyone know what format I need to put my tags into for them to work on my phone?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Check the metadata and both id3 types.
[Desire General] niko123456:
check them for what? should they be id3v2 (3.0 or 4.0?) or id3v1?

I don't understand why I'm having such a hard time finding this information out. Is this an HTC thing or an Android thing?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
depends from the app (android app/windows app/linux app/mac app)

some apps read/set only some id3 tags version
[Desire General] niko123456:
my question is what id3 tag version does the phone read?

I'm not sure it does depend on the app - isn't there a media service type thing indexes the media? in any case, I'm looking for what id3 version is read by the stock HTC music player.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Just add the information to both id3 tag types. Then you see, what the phone is reading.
[General Questions and Answers] theblasterkid:

Set your screen density to 155 PPI

Your status bar is kinda messed up, but its transparent!!!! :eek:

[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Asadullah:
You can also achieve this by unzipping framework-res.apk and editing the status_bar.png

take a rom and unzip it then navigate to /system/framework

right click on framework-res.apk and unzip it (i'm assuming you have 7zip installed)

navigate to drawable-mdpi and find statusbar_background.png

edit that how you want. I use gimp throw a layer mask on to make it transparent.

now open the original framework-res.apk as an archive and throw it in there and adb push it to your phone

Hi,

I tried today to flash android to my HTC HD2 but it went wrong :(

I flashed the radio 2.08 HSPL and the phone started oke to windows.

But when I updated the rom to install magldr it said that it was successful but the phone stuck in the white screen with green HTC logo and did not show magldr or any thing else just the htc screen :(

Please help me to repair it and flash android.

When I press volume down en power button I get the 4 colors screen. I get this text on it:

PB1100 HX-BC

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

PLEASE HELP ME :(:confused::(
[HD2 General] floating_point_unit:
Something went wrong when flashing MAGLDR.

Don't worry your phone is not bricked. Try task29 and then flash MAGLDR again.

fpu
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Since task29 doesn't touch the area where magldr is flashed, that step is pointless.

Sounds more like wrong radio, since magldr doesn't trigger without radio and hspl combo,,, what radio did you flash?

I flashed the radio to 2.15.50.14 I found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611787

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zj89:
Hi i've been using the x8 for 2 months now running on GingerDX v009.. I've learned many things from this community.. and i wanna learn more..

For starters.. How do i build a ROM? using ROM kitchen? if yes which one is compatible with our X8? Will i need extensive knowledge in linux or in programming?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
With the ROM kitchen you don't actually build a ROM, you just give it some features (I've tried it). If you know anything about coding and stuff like that, I've been told that the android developers site is a good start. I'm a beginner myself. So far I've made only an icon pack apk LOL :p
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
LOL

I want to start too. Can you or any other give me an "How to start guide for NOOBS" for me? I'm really noob in this xD
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Before you start developing, you should know how Android works. As I said before, you will find everything you need in the Android Developers site. And..c'mon! You can't start making ROMs when you haven't even made a simple app yet! :p
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
I want to start developing apps, and after that developing some modifications to existing apps and system files. When i know how to do that i can simply make a rom because i know how to compile roms on kitchen
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
Anybody knows any Dev Guide like the one in Android Developers, but in Portuguese?

It's better for me to understand. I can read and understand in English but is more dificult for me :S

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil_:
Online tutorials might help you... There are a lot of them out there... Choose the one which you feel is better... I'm also on the same boat as you..

I personally prefer "thenewbiston" channel.. There you can find tutorials for android application development as well as java(which is very important for app development)..

Then you can move onto cooking roms...

All the best....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:

[Xoom Accessories] fatman42:
The site needs to 'see' the UA string of the UK build of Xoom software. So if your browser presents another UA, you won't see the registration form. You can register using a desktop browser if you can present custom UAs. I did that using Firefox and an Add-On, but others (Opera?) can do it natively. I remember seeing the UA string on xoomforums.com somewhere. Think it was in their thread on the same topic.

It's nice to have the UA string, but you're still limited to UK and Ireland Postal Codes and addresses. You're better off buying it here vs filling out the form for a relatives' or a friends' address and having it shipped to North America.

[Xoom Accessories] go2mo2:
does anyone know if there's a way to do it without your receipt? Not sure what's happened to mine, been a long time since I bought the bloody thing!!
[Xoom Accessories] bobblack:
You need the device's serial # AND the receipt... and they'll only accept receipts from amazon.co.uk, Currys, Comet, Carphone Warehouse, or John Lewis. As for me, I do have friends in the UK whose address I could use for this, but I don't really want to go googling for some receipt (one could probably find one) - you don't know how seriously Moto UK takes this kind of 'cheating', to put it mildly. Technically it would be forgery, and it's not something I want to subject my friends to. I don't need a keyboard or mouse THAT badly.

By the way, what's the purpose of a keyboard and mouse for the Xoom, anyway? Wouldn't one be much better off with a standard-issue laptop rather than carrying 3 different pieces of hardware around all the time? lol.

[Xoom Accessories] bobblack:
I totally agree about the keyboard... a touchscreen keyboard will never be as good as a physical one. I've been sticking to BB for years for that very reason. But I guess in this context, it depends on what you're using the xoom for. I don't really use it at home or in the office because I use the PC there. I only use my xoom when on the road, when on a meeting with a client or so, for casual surfing, and for checking up on email when I'm not on a comp... I'll always prefer a physical keyboard over a touch screen, but I'd never dream of connecting one to the xoom because for me, that would defeat the purpose of a tablet - having a somewhat compact device that allows me to stay connected without dragging a 30 kg bag full of electronics, peripherals, cables, and adapters around with me. That's what I've been doing before I got the xoom :)

So in essence, I really guess it depends on the purpose and how you're using your tablet.

Ofcource you need to have a postal address for the keyboard in UK . Once delivered to your contact he can send it to you.

Worked like a charm to me.

This is almost like the ASUS Transformer..

I've begun looking at the files in /system/etc/soundimage in an attempt to increase the poor speaker volume and they look to be pretty interesting to say the least

Take a look at this file: (open with notepad++)

and this photo:
[HTC EVO 3D] Serren:
And..............
[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
SRS is effectively just DSP with unity gain. It will not change the line level voltage out from the stereo plug.

With unity gain comes distortion. It's like using a parametric EQ and yanking up all the dials and saying it's louder.. It's boosting certain frequencies giving priority to them over another reshaping the sound, not really increasing volume.

Just my 2 cents.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Maybe so, but it was a good increase (distortion or not) on the ASUS TF, and it was the only way to deal with the terrible speakers. :P
[HTC EVO 3D] smarcin:
Sorry to crash your thread, but while you're looking for ways to increase the speaker volume, could you PLEASE look for a way to increase the mic gain? People have been telling me I sound muffled. I'm on my second Evo 3D, but I'm still muffled. Is there a way to up the mic gain in SRS? Thanks.

Quite possibly, I'm going to look into this as soon as I finish up the mods for my ROM :)

Just increase the input/output gains for the device block you want. It isn't hard. 1.5 to 2.0 on device block one for output gain yields decent results. Play around with it.

2.after partitioning ,different partitions used for different ways have different formats.you can just let it go.

3.as for Deodexed and Zipaligned .you can look up in the internet .as far as i know,it's some kind of technology used about the key apps of the system and the other less important apps.
