[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I don't see these modes on my Sprint Android 2.3.4 EVO 3D .. seems when HTC added the 3D support to their Camera application, they left out/removed some previous functionality they used to support. I haven't seen any official reason why our camera doesn't seem to have as many features other than 3D.

Sorry that isn't the best news, I don't have the metering modes feature either but you're not going crazy!
[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Thanks! That sucks that HTC removed some of the basic features from the Evo's stock camera. Makes no sense whatsosever!

Hi,

I really don't understand the pattern behind the allowed post in the dev section.

What I'm understanding is that the dev section is for ROM/Kernel only : when I tried to post a dev-related suggestion,

I was warned that it was wrong, and was threatened (!). Now that iron fist is in effect, I think people are "scared" to post

anything related to dev investigation into the dev section, and now all goes by default into the general section when we

have some doubts. Which creates a new disorder, ironically by trying to force order.

The dev section is now only a collection of <10 alive threads about custom kernel/rom. Not really alive section with thoughtful discussion about general dev ramblings. I've found dev-related threads in the general section (see for instance android arm sdk thread, but there is other cases, I let you find it as an exercise ;-), where someone pointed out the problem "Omg dev thread into a general section !". I think there is a problem.

Because it's really annoying to see the dev section becomes a kind of closed area where you are only allowed to post rom or kernel, and without to be able to think about dev itself. Dev section, as its name points it, must allow to speak about dev related things, whatever are these things. And it's a mess when you want to search something dev-related and find it in the gen section.

Moreover, I don't like the iron fist policy, which threaten people to ban them. Threatening=Terror. Maybe mods are responsible too for this situation, where sometimes there is a lack of clarity. I'm not a newbie, and I've posted wrongly. I consider that there is a mismatch between the subforum name (dev) and the allowed content (rom/kernel only). Or if this is not rom/kernel only, there is a kind of quantic pattern, where you never really know if your post will be accepted or not.

For sake of clarity, I suggest to rename the dev section "custom rom and kernel", and to create a new general dev discussion ; or to open the present dev section to general dev-related discussion, without - please- threatening people to ban them if they are not posting something about custom rom or kernel. Really don't like this way to communicate, it's like mods have forgotten they were newbies some time ago posting in the wrong section. Educating people by threatening them : I don't believe that it works. Whatever.

That was my iron fist on the iron fist.

The development section is for posting actual development not questions about development or asking why eclipse isn't ported to ARM. If you have a development question then there is a question and answer forum. If you want to talk about apps and their development then post in apps and themes. The development section is for the development of roms and kernels and the actual tools for development.

As has been said 100's of times this is not a democracy and this is not for customer service. All anyone has to do is read the forum rules and search a little before posting the same question over and over again.

If that thread was actual developing of eclipse on arm then it would be development but its just a poll to see if the developers of eclipse should port it to arm.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nebucatnetzer:
I don't know if it is available in the UK but in Switzerland you can have Internet TV.

You pay 9 chf per month and you can watch as much TV as you want over the mobile internet.

You don't even have to pay for the traffic because it's integrated.

So maybe you have this to in the UK?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ice_coffee:
We have www.tvcatchup.com it is completely free but have to watch an advert before it starts streaming your selected TV channel
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nebucatnetzer:
Aye we have similar things but the difference is that the TV thing from Swisscom comes directly from a provider.

That's the reason why we don't pay for the traffic even when you have a limit.

You have just to pay once.

I don't know how much it costs in the UK but in Switzerland are the flat rates too expensive so it's quite useful. Anyway it's OT :).

[Motorola Droid 3] betolley:
First off....Everything is fine with my phone. I am not rooted using the update that was released. I was rooted at one time before the update and I made a dd backup image after root but before I made any changes. I also dumped the /system using adb pull.

I can use dd and fastboot with my android tablet to backup and restore images. Can we do the same here if someone is bricked? On my Droid 3 I backed up using

dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img after I rooted.

On my tablet I can

fastboot image system system.img using images that I make for the tablet.

to restore a system image. Anyone know if that will work here with the droid 3 image that I created from my droid 3? Any bricked person try it?
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I think anything you flash to your phone has to be signed by motorola and your provider. I read in the "virgin system" thread someone was trying to use this method to restore but it failed on checks, can't find the exact post because I'm pretty lazy but if you search it, it's there.

[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
What is the filename of the file you're trying to flash?
[Samsung Mesmerize] jordanpugh:
cwm-recovery-ALL.tar

I at least figured out it had to be a .tar file.
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Download 7zip and open that .tar file within 7zip...is there another .tar or .md5 file inside? There was a CWM .tar released that you had to extract the flashable file from inside of it.

Whoever packaged it made it really confusing. Check and see if that's what you got. Or link me to the file you downloaded and I'll check it out for you.
[Nook Color General] nloding:
I got a used nook that had CM7 on it. Seeing that there were issues a week ago with the 1.3 root, I put 1.2 on it and rooted it. Now 1.3 is successfully rooted and all seems a go ... so I want it.

But how the heck do I get a rooted 1.2 Nook to get the update?

It's been on wifi with the B&N Shop and/or Home open for three days, nothing. I followed the steps on B&N's site to try to sideload the update. Nothing. I don't see a CWM flashable version out yet. Frustrating.

I could also factory reset back to 1.2 and try to let it load the 1.3 update - I assume that the MN still works with a stock 1.3 as well.
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
Sideloading BN1.3 works for me. Describing EXACTLY how you sideload the update. The update needs to be copied to emmc.
[Nook Color General] nloding:
I followed the instructions on B&N's site. I put the nookcolor_1_3_update.zip file and put it right on the root of the emmc (at least, the highest up directory the USB interface would let me place it on).
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Having CWM on your internal recovery blocks the update. You can flash this file to get back to 100% stock (internal CWM or CWM card, doesn't matter):

update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip

Format /system and /data before you flash it. If you have apps and settings you want to restore after you update and root, make a backup first (you should anyway) and once you have CWM back, Advanced Restore /data only.
[Nook Color General] nloding:
CWM is not installed on the emmc. I use bootable sdcard with CWM burned on it to do my flashing. I doubt this is the issue but if MN will work on a stock 1.3 install, it's easy enough to do.
[Nook Color General] SeaFractor:
I had also encountered a problem, but had worked around it.

It turned out that I had at one point flashed CWM to my emmc even though I was using an SD card to boot.

The update was failing each time, but I eventually noticed that it was going into clockwork during the restart and the install would fail.

I'd completely nuked the Nook (deleted boot, system, etc) while in CWM and restored a Nook 1.1 image I had.

This allowed me to then install the 1.3 update and have it reboot into the BN recovery instead of the CWM recovery.

Note, if you format boot, system and so on, you'll render the Nook unbootable without an SD card, so be sure to have the image ready to restore BEFORE you reboot it.
[Nook Color General] nloding:
I ended up doing a factory reset and putting the nookcolor_1_3_update.zip on the root of the emmc. It updated immediately, but I of course lost my data. Oh well.

MN didn't really work, I fought with it over and over again, but finally got it working. I'm posted in the MN thread about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobthemarley:
I was wondering whether or not it was possible to change the boot animation of MIUI with the animation of your choice. I know you can get MIUI boot animations from what I would assume "MIUI store". I wanted to put a boot animation that I have(Barbershop Android/Apple thing). I know you can do it on normal android by replacing it in /System/Media/ but that does not work in MIUI. I really don't like the boot animations from MIUI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
i'm showing thats where it goes is system/media named bootanimation, thats in 1.8.5.

try using root explorer to move the animation that you want to that location and check that the permissions are set to rw-r-r.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Make sure the boot animation is in the /system/media folder, and the name is bootanimation, so the total name will be bootanimation.zip; also make sure all the correct files are inside the zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
For MIUI, you have to add it into your theme mtz or make an mtz with the boot animation and select it from theme manager. MIUI doesn't use the bootanimation in /system/media unless you select the "default" boot animation in theme manager. I'm not sure if you could simply replace the bootanimation.zip and then reapply the default theme boot animation. Try that out, if it doesn't work I'll explain how to make an mtz with the boot animation or if you want I can make it for you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobthemarley:
Thanks jane. I replaced the boot animation in /System/Media/ and switched it to default, i tried that before but i didn't realize that you had to change it to default.

Thanks a lot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eris _2.1_2010:
The miui boot ani's are in mtz format correct? How would I go about making that into a bootanimation.zip?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you have an mtz with a boot animation that you want to use for another rom, change the mtz extension to .zip. Extract the zip file and you'll see a folder named "boots", inside that folder is the bootanimation.zip

The boot animation itself is not in mtz format, it's still your normal "bootanimation.zip", but if it's a part of a theme then the theme will be in mtz format.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zailer:
i was on Huawei x6 variant and while changing the boot animation from theme i ended up putting a corrupt (i guess so) android 4 bootanimation and it was stuck at the boot animation screen.

i was searching google and ended up here which i found useful. thanks :)

but it didnt help me to resolve .. but shed some light.

luckily i had access to the phone with QtADB

the active boot animation MIUI rom uses is located in the /data/system/theme/boots/

the theme folder itself is the whole modded theme of yours.

so changing the animation (zip file) here will be as good as changing from theme edit option . just wanted to share this :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohobojo:
so then how would you go around converting a .zip boot ani to .mtz?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dased14:
if you have an mtz(have to have the folders right), so use an old one and replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want to use and when zipping it up(normal in 7zip)

type xxxxx(name you want to call it).mtz and 7zip will make it a mtz that you place on sdcard and then open theme changer and it should be there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devnulldroid:
Running latest MIUI I have .mtz files for Boot Animations, Fonts, Icon Sets etc in /sdcard/MIUI/theme/ and then go into Settings/Themes and manage it all there with Customize function.

It is hit or miss simply renaming a .zip to .mtz but have found it to work but if it doesn't I have had some serious FC issues and had to restore from last CW backup. I use Boot Manager if I want a virtual ROM I can mess up and restore on the fly without rebooting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhythm.george:
this is how I able to change my boot animation on my galaxy s gti9000 it might help u. (please note me using different phone)

steps

1. take any bootanimation.zip of your choice download it in your pc.

2. In your pc create one folder called boots.

3. put bootanimation.zip in boots folder.

4. take any .mtz file and open it (using win.rar)

5. delete the data of .mtz file keep any 1 file because if you delete everything windows will delete .mtz file it self.

6. now put the boot folder in .mtz file

7. delete remaining 1 file which you kept as it is in step 5.

8. rename the .mtz file as 1bootanimation.mtz (or u can give any name but remember it)

9. now take your phone and connect it to your pc

10. open file explorer in your mobile

11. paste the 1bootanimation.mtz into sdcard/miui/theme

12. now go to theme apps and select 1.bootanimation and apply it

it should change your boot animation and this way you can have multiple bootanimation and apply it whenever you like it.
