I noticed when i zip up a rom it is conciderably larger than most roms even though the actuall files inside are smaller. I was using winzip and recently started playing around with 7zip, but no matter what i do i can't get it compressed to a reasonable size. what programs are people using, and if anyones is using either 7zip or winzip what settings are best for roms? thanks in advanced for any answers!!
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
Many of the files in the ROM are already zipped. Some of the apk and jar files are zipped already. One cannot rezip zipped files or the graphic files so it ends up bigger.. don't know about what you are compressing but it could be a possiblity.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
for my stock rom, [ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2*, I use the standard linux zip binary to create the .zip file with no compression.

i use this command in linux to create the ROM .zip file:

zip -r jk-rom.zip META-INF system boot.img

hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
Thanks, I wish I was running Linux. I've noticed most roms for the 3d unzipped-650mb zipped-380, my ROM unzipped-605 zipped-430. Can what you mentioned be done in cygwin.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skyeclad:
OK this is driving me crazy because I had this working and now, for some reason, I can't repeat my earlier success.

I want to be able to stream mkv video's and DVD's via SageTV on my desktop server through my Transformer. In order to do this I understand that audio has to be down converted to 2.0 stereo. I am fairly certain that prior to a recent upgrade I was able to do so by using AC3Filter and setting the output to 2.0 and turning off SPDIF.

Now, I do so and the only audio that streams to my Transformer is the Windows Sound Effects and music outside of SageTV. All my videos play with no sound. I do NOT receive the warning message that normally comes when the output source isn't set to Stereo with 44 or 48khz.

I know that this used to work either:

A) I've forgotten some critical step or

B) the updated Splashtop server(which does mention some 5.1 revisions that I don't understand) has messed this up.

Any thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
Try playing the DVDs and videos with VLC. Use SageTV only when you need surround sound.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skyeclad:
I played through vlc and it worked. I guess there must be a Sagetv plugin issue.

Hi,

I just picked up this phone & am trying to get exchange working. It works fine on my OG Evo (and the 3d which I just returned) but not this phone.

Any ideas? I know I can probably use touchdown but I would prefer the native app for contacts, calendar.

MS Exchange

My wife got the E4GT on release date and had a problem with Exchange, also. She and the guy at Sprint tried for about 15 minutes to no avail. Finally, last night she started button-smashing and got it to work. Last night when she set up her Exchange account (school e-mail that uses Outlook Web Access) on her phone, she had to choose "Manual" then chose "Exchange", and it worked perfectly. She did have a problem with contacts from Outlook being listed several times and had to go through a whole 'nother ordeal to get them to merge with her Google contacts.

Hope this helps you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RichTJ99:
Im all set too. My issue was my exchange server supports up to 10 mobile devices & I guess each time I setup a new rom, the server thought it was a new device. Anyway, I deleted some old devices & I am back in business.

Anybody here use Boot Manager just to try out Roms? I'm just wondering how people have fairest with that. I want to have a sense ROM as my main and just run aosp on the side till it fully matures and whatnot. I think its a great idea I just don't know how it'll run.

a video review of me running 3 Roms using boot manager on my htc sensation
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I also use Boot Manager. I have CM7 as my phone Rom and have Myn's Warm 2.3 on slot 1 and MIUI on slot 2. Both run great and the $2 or $3 it cost to buy Boot Manager was one of the most useful money spent on the Android Market so far for me. It's a lot faster to boot into a ROM using Boot Manager to update your PRL then it is to restore a nandroid then restore back. Yes it uses a lot of your sdcard(about 2gb per rom) so you need to have at least a 16gb. I'm planning on buying a 32gb just to be safe.
[HTC EVO 3D] chefdave12118:
No ****tttttt! 2gb per rom? I have a 16 gb card and only have 2 gigs available. I took the 16 gb card from one of my tabs and just figured it was REALLLLYYYYY clogged from my tab ( I know I know.... where did ya think 14 gb went chef? ) I'm also running cm7 as my phone rom but have Steelh, evoking, miui, and empires. That's 8 gb just in slot roms (if my calculator is working properly).

Also I was going to ask if you could update your PRL through boot manager. GOOD INFO HOUSRY!

Question, I have cm7 on phone and installed supra on slot 1. Did all three wipes and picked ext4. It said it could not find the market but I know it is in supra so i said no to downloading. Supra booted fine the first time but on attempting to reboot it froze everytime. I was rebooting through the normal means of the power button. Come to find there are reboot options with boot manager itself. Tried that and still wouldn't boot. Flashed update.zip from sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom to boot back to cm7 and it said sdcard was now corrupted. Figure I messed it up but what did I do?

hi guys.can someone help

i setup phone rom

If you have your phone ROM setup in Boot Manager, boot into recovery, go to flash zip, navigate to the boot manager folder on your sdcard & go to the phone ROM folder. Flash the update.zip and you will go back to your phone ROM.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Hello,

I know there are threads about this but non of them answered my question.

Here's my situation:

I have a collection of music and only one of those songs was bought from the zune marketplace. This song is "Drop the World" by lil wayne.

When I play this track there is no artist image or so showing up. I don't know why, but when I search the marketplace for lil wayne and play any of these songs (30 seconds preview), I don't have any art there either so I suppose there is simply is no art for this artist.

However, I have a lot of other music in my collection that was not bought from Zune, one example is Rihanna. When I search the marketplace and play a Rihanna song, it shows me art work but when I play my own full songs, it does not.

I have a German WLID and phone settings if that matters.

I have tried using Zune Social Tagger (version 2.4.1.0) and it showed me that the lil wayne song is linked. Now when I try to link any other song it finds the correct info etc and I click on "next", I have the option to select a song. I can do so but I always leave the box "Update album information (artist, title, etc)" unchecked because I don't want zune social tagger to mess with my mp3 tags.

However, when I click "Link" it did not actually work. The Zune Social Tagger still says "Unlinked" and there is no art on the phone.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinhopaolo:
having the same problem. some says because other countries are not supported by the zune market.. thats the reason why this problem occur
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
For me this somehow worked.

I don't really know what I did. I just used Zune Social Tagger and afterwards synced my phone with zune. If the artist background was missing in Zune, I started Zune Social Tagger again and tagged it again. Some files had to be tagged many times but in the end it all worked, although I'm now having a problem with Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicagolive:
I am living in Germany also but have not had any problem finding info, now sometimes you will have to find album art yourself which I think was the case with the album Rebirth(which the song you are talking about comes from)since it kept having delays being released then being pulled, but I did just look and all versions are there so it should work for you also. Now sometimes it happens that you have to re-sync manually especially if you already synced the song and you are trying update it it does happen sometimes. If should correct itself if not fix it through zune delete it from your phone and re-sync again should work then. Hope this helps you.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
Well like I said it worked with NoDo, I just had to try it several times.

I also did not let zune social tagger or zune edit the MP3 tags, I did that on my own before.

I had cover artwork in the mp3 tags before.

While it worked for most songs on NoDo (I'm having some issues with Mango though), but not for the song mentioned because there is no artwork for Lil Wayne in the German marketplace (at least from what I can tell).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicagolive:
Now I understand your problem is really a GEMA issue not so much a market issue, with the Mango change more information relating to music is out and GEMA is trying to extort everybody. Well my settings are Germany I had changed over to the US when I found out all the problems people was having not just in WP7, Apple had the same issue they just did the dirty deed and mostly paid them. Now spoke with a few friends of mine with WP7 and they have the same issue can load the art themselves but not recognized the background due to issues alot of new Albums have this problem even in NoDo Kanye and Jay-Z did not want to pay GEMA so they have really no background either. Don't think this issue will change soon but you can still try the way I said.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimshady322:
The weird thing is that there appears to be artist backgrounds for most songs.

For example the song "Roman's Revenge" by Nicki Minaj.

I had artist background for this song in NoDo but not in Mango.

And what's really weird is that when I open the music + videos app, select music and then tap on Nicki Minaj (from the lists of artists), I actually have a background and only this song in my library. But when I play the song there is no artist background.

i recently replaced my screen protector that came in the package with my tilt 2, with one of the zagg universal screen protectors and absolutely hate how it feels like im running my finger across a rubber surface where as the original one was more of a plastic style screen.

so my question is does anyone know where i can find more of the stock screen protectors?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ozqeee:
cost

how much it cost ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cblame:
its like $25 for 2. but they feel all rubbery, the plastic style one (which is what im looking for) is usually cheaper and are smoother operating wise than the rubbery ass ones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dazimmermann:
Looking for same one

I tried a few different suppliers either through Amazon or eBay and they all are the rubbery stuff you're talking about. Over a year ago, I managed to get an OEM screen protector made of that stiff, slick plastic from a friend who bought a new Tilt 2 but returned it. Can't find them, but if anyone knows where I can pick a few up, I'd probably pay a premium for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] tsiconquest88:
actually there is a ton of the hard pastic ones on ebay. However none i tried are as good as my oem one i had. Wish i woulda just left it till it got real bad lol. These new ones you can see scratches in them and they get dull in spots nor do they come out completely air pocket free. No matter how clean you get the screen. Pisses me off!

Your all wrong. You have to advertise the worse product for it to even sell. The people that know what's going on know what phone to buy without seeing an advertisement. If they felt like they were going to have a problem selling the epic touch then they would advertise for it. Remember it does cost money to advertise so why spend money if you don't have to. Also there really wasn't that much advertising for any of the sgs1 and it out sold every manufacturer.

Dishnetwork owns sling media the creator of sling box
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
It's an application that interfaces with SlingBox media devices, which basically act as a miniature web server for streaming your television signal over TCP/IP to a PC or Sling proprietary receiver. Assuming you're not a Dish Network customer, you need to buy a SlingBox first, as this is simply an app that allows you to access the stream on your tablet/phone. As a quick note to all potential SlingBox owners, the device only allows streaming to one computer/receiver at a time, due to legal issues with television providers.

Do you have data turned on? I gotta ask because a GPS lock can take a while without data or wifi turned on.

Have you tried GPS Status from the market? If you download that and then go to menu>tools>download. It will download new gprs data which will help with GPS lock time.

Even without Data turned on it should take no where near that long. I always have data turned off and it finds GPS within a minute usually. Now if your going to use google maps you Have to have data turned on which is slightly annoying but eh I downloaded Navigon for that specific reason. Navigon stores the maps on the SD card so I don't need to have active data and Only GPS Fix. Anyway if that is your issue attempt Navigon as it is an "Offline" solution that Only requires GPS Fix.
