[Fascinate General] kidserious:
2.2 on the fascinate was an epic FAIL. We waited FOREVER for froyo source to drop and when it did, it was so crappy that it fixed/improved NOTHING on AOSP. If it wasn't for fascinatemtd, I wouldn't even have a fascinate still. Thank you jt1134. Oh, and FYI, the SD card issue has been resolved for about a week now. /me still slaps AuroEdge for saying TW is better than mtd.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
If/when official GB comes out for our phone, it could quite possibly help jt1134 fix the remaining issues with CM7, as some of it are just slight changes in the kernel that need fixed to make things work, but what is available for Froyo doesn't help, nor does what is currently available for GB. Will everything be magically fixed with GB? Probably not, but it could help fix the minor issues that are still there.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
I'd be back on VGB in a heartbeat if anyone could verify that the SD card issues are fixed. I've seen it claimed a couple places, but never with any justification presented. There's a report just up on RW of an SD failure on the latest version. Of course the report may be attributable to user error, but I'd feel better about it if someone could actually point to the fix rather than just claim everything is ok.
[Fascinate General] AuroEdge:
I've been excited for what possibilities lie in wait for CM7. Especially if this new v2.3 leak is real and useful. I really like CM7.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
There were two changes that Jt made to his kernel a couple of weeks ago that were causing the SD card issues. Jt identified these particular changes and has IN FACT reverted both of these commits. The kernel is now safe and so is your SD card. I've been on vgb/pool party for about two weeks straight now, no SD card issues.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
Hmm, I've been trying to keep up with his RW thread, but must have missed that post. I saw some mention of kernel changes in the CM7 thread, but nothing specific to the SD card issue. Not saying you're wrong, just pointing out why I'm concerned.

What do you make of the reported SD failure to mount in CWM on the newest VGB?
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
If you want to be 100% safe, just use glitch. It uses the froyo bootloader and is not a part of any of the issues to do with SD cards.

the vanilla kernel from JT is for pure speed but glitch gives some awesome things for tweaking performance like voodoo and undervolting/overclocking.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
There have been SD failures using glitch. I love the kernel, but it isn't a cure in itself.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
then they would be due to user error or some other unrelated thing.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
That's an interesting hypothesis, on what do you base it?
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
on the fact that JT very clearly determined what exactly caused the problem and that it was only in his kernel, he then fixed it. This was while the glitch developer was not doing anything due to medical reasons so there is no possible way that the glitch kernel would have the code that causes SD issues.

Sent from my MIUI SCH-i500
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
I've been following the VGB thread on RW and haven't found anywhere that JT says that. Can you drop a link? I'd be interested in reading his take on it.

As for the glitch kernel, several people have reported failed SD cards with it. Whether the cause is the same I can't say, but when theory contradicts evidence, it's almost always theory that is wrong. JT's kernel also wasn't the cause of the numerous failures on EC09. Clearly, whether or not JT's kernel has been fixed, it's not the only thing that's been causing SD failure.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
sageDieu, you are correct, it was two changes that jt made to his kernel a few weeks ago that were the source of the "AOSP" SD card issues. Glitch's kernel does NOT contain these changes. However, jt has since reverted these changes and his kernel is safe once again. Anybody who lost their SD card while on glitch probably was on the problem kernel for a little bit and then switched to glitch in an attempt to save their SD card, but some damage was probably already done. But, glitch's kernel doesn't use froyo bootloaders, it requires you use froyo bootloaders. The bootloaders (boot.bin - primary bootloader and sbl.bin - secondary bootloader) and the kernel (zImage for bml and boot.img for mtd) are completely seperate and interdependent. Bootloaders can only be accessed/flashed/changed via Odin/heimdall or an official OTA.
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
Thanks for confirming, kidserious... I don't have a link to anything. I just know he has stated that he pushed some bad stuff, and like kidserious said it probably wasn't people that used only glitch that had the problem.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
Between this thread and RW, I've got enough confirmation to be comfortable going back. It seems the GB ROMs have been plagued by at least two independent sources of SD card failures. Unlikely things do sometimes happen.

That said, I'm confused by a typo in what I've quoted. I'm guessing one of those "froyo"s should be "gingerbread", but I don't know which one. If I'm going to VGB or Pool Party, with their included kernels, do I still load the GB Bootloaders that JT posted? If I want to use Glitch's kernel will I have to load different bootloaders?
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Glitch doesn't use froyo bootloaders as in they are seperate. Glitch simply said not to flash his kernel if you are already using GB bootloaders or if you are already on his kernel then don't flash GB bootloaders. Glitch will only work properly in conjunction with froyo bootloaders.
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
That's interesting, because I unknowingly flashed VG and the Glitch kernel over a fresh ODIN flash of the full EC09 leak (which has the 2.3 bootloader obviously) and haven't had a single issue. Ignorance was bliss I guess.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
I actually did the same thing and I as well had no issues. *shrugs* Who knows, I was just echoing glitch on that one.
[Fascinate General] AuroEdge:
jt mentioned on his Twitter that bootloaders don't really matter so to speak

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D@nny:
Hey everyone,

Last week me and my friend bought a fake iPhone that runs on an Android 2.2.1 ROM with an iPhone interface. There was a version of Skype pre-installed on the phone, but the version got stuck at the sign in screen (after pressing sign in) every time we tried.

After a few days of sniffing around on Google and downloading quite a few versions, we have still got the same problem. On the internet are a lot of posts about this, but there is no clear fix for the problem.

Our carrier is China Unicom, they have a 2G and 3G network and we also have a wireless. Although we came to understand that wifi is not supported on the mobile versions of Skype.

Can anyone help us out with a fix for this very annoying problem?

Cheers,

You've got a phone that nobody has and you can't identify, based on an old OS version ... there really isn't much we can tell you other than: try different versions. It seems like a problem with your firmware, and updating from such an old version would seem like a good idea for security reasons alone... but since this is a phone that doesn't officially exist, I doubt there's a project that creates custom firmware for it.

[Atrix 4G General] CBR_1000RRider:
I was wondering if there was a way to change the "voice" of the phone Ie. "Incoming call from ___"

If so where would one be able to find the software to do so?

I currently want to do a few things, I've already replaced my boot animation with what I want, another LWP under construction.

The voice is a big thing that will be apart of this, I want to "record" a sample off the net, change the phone's "voice" to said recording.

Any way of doing this?
[Atrix 4G General] Pyroshane:
The best app I have found for that is Ivona. Once you install the free app, you have to go into Settings > Voice input & output settings > Text-to-speech settings and enable the box next to IVONA Text-to-Speech HQ, then set it as your Default Engine, click on Install voice data and choose a voice (I use Amy UK, I love having a British chick giving me directions in Nav) and it will download about a 30mb file. If you choose Amy, then make sure you set language to English (United Kingdom) instead of English (United States) or it will sound funny. Then at the top of the settings check to Always use my settings and it should work.

IVONA gives me problems on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 though. Amy is the voice for most things, but in Nav it goes to the default voice.
[Atrix 4G General] CBR_1000RRider:
thanks for that. It'll do for the time being.

But I'm looking for a software to copy a voice and then implement that voice into the Atrix.

I'm just not 100% sure on how to go about that.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
HTC has disabled the ability to turn off shutter sounds with the new camera app in 2.3.4. Why? IDK. Possibly to stop up-skirt shots from old pervs, or probably another thing on the long list of "piss customers off" in addition to adding CIQ.

Removing it is easy enough, but getting the option back is a bit more difficult.

To remove the shutter sound, explore the apk with WinRAR or your favorite archiving program, navigate to res/raw, and remove camera_click.ogg.

I took the liberty of doing it and it is available here.

This HTCCamera.apk also includes Panorma/HDR courtesy of my man SteelH.

Can you guys make a flashable version via recovery? TIA
[HTC EVO 3D] planet_x69:
Using adb just boot into your recovery ( from a windows pc) in this case windows7

the go to the android SDK folder and under platform tools, copy your HTCCamera.apk to that folder then from your PC's command prompt navigate that same folder and do: adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app

then exit and reboot phone

So....

I moved the htc camera using root explorer to a temp folder,.then moved this apk to system/app and rebooted. Didn't take, so I deleted it. Moved original back to system/app and rebooted. Still no camera action. It's early, I'm still sleepy, maybe I'm missing something.....any suggestions?

Nandroids are for sissies.

Bang.
[HTC EVO 3D] twincitiesjhawk:
ok I got it working this way:

downloaded freeza's apk into root of SD, went to root explorer > replaced new apk with old apk in system/apps > confirmed replacement, then long pressed on apk and went to permissions > checkedmarked everything but the bottom 3 options > confirmed > rebooted and camera is working perfectly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
If you move it with root explorer, don't forget to fix the permissions and reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Still nothing . Doesn't even show up as an app in the drawer. Changed perm to

rwx rwx ---, still no go. Tried fixing perms in twrp, still nothing. Hmmm.

Bang.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
creating a flashable zip now :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Thanks, freeza. That worked.

for reference, how could I put the stock camera apk back... What are the permissions set at? I'm assuming same as this one, correct? Is the

odex file the same?

Nandroids are for sissies.

Bang.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Does the flashable version also include the Panorama/HDR or just the APK?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdz7t8:
Guys i have lost the option to select live wallpaper. I had deleted it in error thinking i was deleting the live wallpapers that came with the phone-not the actual program that allows you to use live wallpapers. So i have been reading on the forum where i saw that i should reinstall the live wallpaper apk and the live wallpaper picker apk which i have done but its not still not appearing as an option when i go wallpapers.

Someone said this: "okay fixed it. found a dump of all of the original vibrant app/files and copied over the live wallpapers and livewallpaperpicker apk and odex files into the /system/app folder and it works again!!"

I copied the apks to the system/app folder and it still doesn't work. I don't know what odex files are. Can someone help ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:

[TouchPad Accessories] jonhern:
a question for people who have had them for some time, is a case or screen protector necessary? Does the screen scratch easily, or will I be fine without one? I never like to use cases, my evo and xoom were fine without one, but i keep hearing that the build quality of the touchpad is not that great so thinking about getting something to protect it.
[TouchPad Accessories] y2kdread:
jonhern,

I would say a case is necessary just to make your tablet more portable. I would hate to put it in my backpack and mess up the screen because you don't have a case around it. I don't think the screen protector is necessary, but if you don't want a case it might come in handy. Just remember, you'll have a 10 inch piece of glass floating around that would be very easy to scratch.

Also, this isn't really a cheap case but it is very high quality:

http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=222943653

I have a version of this case for my nook color and love it. It's very sturdy, looks quite professional, and has a built in stand with multiple positions. It is worth the money!
[TouchPad Accessories] jonhern:
Yeah, when i took my xoom anywhere i would just stick it into my leather folder legal pad. nothing ever happened to it. just worried about the build quality of the touch pad and if it would be more prone to scratches, on the shiny plastic body and glass. the xoom was metal and glass, so felt more sturdy.

[TouchPad Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
You need to be careful with the third party cases. Yes they may be cheap and look night, but they can hamper the tablets functionality.

I purchased the offical HP case off of amazon.

Why? Because it does not cover the bezel.

There is a swipe up function in webos that is suppose to be pretty neat, but typically (depending on your orentation) you swipe up from the bezel at the bottom to activate this feature. The feature actually only uses a pixel wide sensory area at the bottom of the screen...but people at precentral report difficulty activating this feature when the bezel is covered.

Hence why the touchpad case from hp does not cover the bezel.

Anyone ordering an iPad cover for use with the TouchPad needs to be sure to order a cover designed for the original iPad, not the iPad 2.
