[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] smilentfish:
well as a Chinese, I cannot totally agree with you. as far as I see, the first official message saying there will be 2.3 rom for x5 is from huawei india, in English.

http://getsatisfaction.com/huaweiindia/topics/android_2_3_when_for_ideos_x5

also, though huawei is a chinese company, it always releases its new products overseas like in us and japan first. e.g. mediapad, honor, vision, etc. this makes me wondering whether huawei is from china...

======================================

one thing disappointing me is....you can hardly even find a mediator in the official huawei device forum, not to say any support from there, but fortunately we have several third party forums like xda, goapk, 5iRom.

I think the problem is huawei still thinks (whether consciously or not) telcom operators as their "customers", rather than the real users of their devices. I saw a few articles and posts saying they develop new phones mainly based on telcom operators' demands. obviously those people never care about which rom you use, only if it supports telcom services. huawei device department should switch their view from telcom-oriented to terminal-user-oriented.

anyway, I like my x5 and believe it is one of the top devices at its price, but customer care and support from huawei is really poor.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhnschts:
Goodmorning :)

Yesterday i flashed my tab p1000 to gingerbread 2.3.3, because it wouldnt boot anymore, i used a tutorial i found on youtube and some help from people on this forums, everything is now running, exept it sometimes keeps saying i cant install anything from the market, because there is not enough space, but theres almost noting on the device :S

Alsom for another question, the tutorial also explained how to root the tab with 2.3.3, but what are the benefits of doing a root? Is it just to instal other roms ore are there more benefits?

And what are the risks for doing this?

i know these are alot of questions hahaha but im very new at this, im not planning on installing a other rom, cus im very pleased with the samsung gingerbread, but would like to see some other stuf on the tab like galaxy s2 widgets and launcher, and some widgets from the xperia x10 love the galary widget i have on the x10.

I can't mangage to downgrade to the old baseband. How can I see it? CM7 still dosent have GSM or Data. I tried with LGDMP, no result. It always says download complete, but no effect. Please don't answer like "Read the stickies", blah blah.

I need you to tell me, step by step, how to downgrade my baseband. Do not fail me again!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
1.Download p500 v10E baseband.exact if it is a zip file.

2.Open lgmdp tool,click select port and select your mobile.

3.Then in image folder on top,browse to p500 v10E folder.

4.You will get 2-3 dialogue boxes,simply close them.

5.then select download now.

6.Do not disconnect until it says download complete.

5.Now install cm7 and u should now have the old baseband,with working gsm and data.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thachtunganh:
I have had this problem... it didn't appear because i didn't wait for a while (1-2 mins) after i flashed old baseband and reboot my phone...

So , did you wait for it :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
The problem is that I have already installed CM7, How can I get rid of it and install the old basebanda?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
if LGDMP fails to downgrade your baseband, i think your only option left is to flash back the stock firmware using kdz (i believe this is called the "russian way" of downgrading the baseband):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060121

if you do choose to downgrade using this method, keep in mind that everything on your phone will be wiped
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
I wiped everything on my phone all the times. Now how can I get rid of CM7, so I can freshly install Baseband?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
the instructions are in the link that i posted earlier.

when i said that everything is wiped, im not just talking about the wipe you do when you switch roms. this is a complete wipe that will put your phone back to when you first got it (stock, unrooted, etc)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
It worked with LGDMP. I accidentally skipped a step... Anyway, it got stuck at NV restore, but my phone already had it, so I pressed Cancel. It works now! Thanx for da help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
Dude do a nv restore.Its needed.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] UL7RA:
Why? Now the phone works...

It blocked at start, checking... (over 200 seconds)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ashishv:
I think your phone wont have imei no. until you restore nv backup.

Android Interactive Multitouch Table and Automation Project

Hi all!,

let me start by saying if this thread is in the wrong section please by all means let me know (It is starting with a question but will eventually come to host something more).

Now that that's out of the way, I am currently working on a multitouch table, one which will directly interface with android devices and after doing so allow full control via a special app to a multitude of cool things such as :

- automated door locking and unlocking

- media controls

- powering on and off certain household objects

- other random things using arduinos and android controls

- control of phone functions via the table

I've already built most of the table, and have a basis which I'm using as a starting point for the other things (I have no intention to ever profit from this i just want to make something really cool and share ideas / experience). Please be patient while I do the initial updates and postings and what not here (as its really late right now and im also a college student / part time developer) . I will break this up as follows:

POST 2: section to be updated about the table and my knowledge / tidbits involving such

POST 3: section to be updated about app functions and my experiences / info regarding such

Post 4: random automation info / arduino adventures

SO long story short on top of the above I have the following question: how do i send an intent from my special app to other peoples ( I think they have to be set to do so?)
[Android Software Development] Surge1:
The Multitouch Table

The Multitouch Table itself has a 2 foot x 4 foot surface. The frame was constructed using several 2x3 's and compressed board to enclose it.

Basis for the table is this:

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/maximum_pc_builds_a_multitouch_surface_computer

The Surface

The surface is a 2 ft x 4 ft sheet of tempered glass, tempered glass because I was told it was amazingly strong and from my experiences relatively close in price to the acrylic and plexi I was looking at.

The Multitouch

The multitouch aspect of the table is powered by 4 infrared lasers and a modified playstation eye. (details soon to come)

The Lasers:

4x 780nm 25mW modules

chosen for this project at the advising of some friends who built a similar table as well as several people on the web

obtained from: http://www.aixiz.com/store/index.php/cPath/61

The Camera:

From my understanding you can use any usb webcam, however for the price the playstation eye gives the biggest bang for your buck (its not that expensive either).

Be careful when buying one, apparently some of them don't allow for the IR filter to be removed. If you are really worried you can buy pre modified lenses for 2 bucks.

useful site for camera supplies:

http://peauproductions.com/store/

To learn how to remove the IR filter from your PS Eye use the google ;)

Misc. Internals

The Projector:

I obtained some front facing mirrors and heat absorbing glass to help with throw distance. A good enough projector wont need mirrors but it really depends on what distance you want. Mine was covered but I got a mirror so i had alot to work with.

Mirrors and Heat Absorbing Glass:

http://www.surplusshack.com/

Acer X1230PS:

http://www.amazon.com/Acer-X1230PS-DLP-Projector/dp/B0036RBHT2

The Computer:

To run the table I have used an old machine of mine in a micro atx case.

You could use a less powerful machine but mine has the following.

2.4 ghz Quad Core

4 gbs DDR 2

a simple graphics card

[Android Software Development] Surge1:
The APP

A basis for the app is there, trying to put in intents for other apps to signal user choice of remotes.

- Door lock/unlocker

- light controls

- electronics power on/off

Try using Rom manager and install zip from sd car if u have the gingerbread bootloader it should work
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcooks:
No it won't. Cm uses a different file system. That's why you need the pit file and must use Odin to repartition your phone. Bootloader had nothing to do with it.

It's not just the filesystem, it's the partition mounts and types. The *ONLY* way to overcome the mount point (mtd vs bml) issue is Odin.

Simply Stock is a JV* ROM uses the same partition/file system that 2.2 ROMs use. If you need the GB bootloaders to flash it - it wont work for you.

Find a different CM7 based ROM that works better on your phone:

CM7

MIUI

Trigger 2.3.5

OMFGB

NO FRILLS

Espresso

I suggest No Frills 2.1. So far it gave me the best battery life:

[General Questions and Answers] wabarus:
If so how can i go about putting this rom on this Exclusively China HTC phone.

It's a great phone honestly. But it's made for someone that is a permanent person in China. I'm a temporary student here for 2 years... I like the phone and I came from being a G2 user with the mod. Now if this phone can be with the Cynogen mod. Then it would be perfect. Because I can't get a normal market place on the phone... The HTC market place is no where as good or vast as googles market place. And I'd like my gmail to interact with my phone like it did in america. My gmail has all my contacts and what not saved on it.

Would be nice if there could be opened a dedicated section for HTC S610D under forums.
[General Questions and Answers] chpaopao:
I got this phone too and couldn't get in to the android market. So here's what I did:

Downloaded the HTC Sync Software which has the HTC USB drivers etc from www,htc,com

Set your device to run in HTC Sync mode when connected to a PC (in USB settings on phone)

Goto www,coolapk,com which is a market site that has most good apps on it in APK form.

Download the APK you want

Run HTC Sync

Connect your Device and make sure it is in HTC sync mode

After you've set up the device select "Application installer" on HTC Sync software on the PC

Select the APK File you downloaded. select ok

Wait

Huzzah

A quicker way after is to download the barcode scanner application from this website then just use that app to capture the bar codes on the download pages with your phone to download them directly onto the phone

And another thing, if you want your gmail contacts just go to:

settings,

accounts and sync,

add account,

exchange activesync,

enter your gmail email and password,

you can select to sync contacts, mail , calendar etc,,,

[Verizon Droid Charge] scourge99:
Something got corrupted on my phone. Most of the important things on my phone won't launch or stay opened such as:

*contacts

*phone

*sms

I have a red triangle on my status bar that says "Unexpected error" . When I click on it it doesn't display anything. Sometimes it will quickly display some type of error from the "go SMS" app before closing.

I repeatedly get notification boxes that tell me android process have stopped. They include:

*android.process.acore

*com.android.mms

*com.android.email

I've tried restarting, battery pulling, and uninstalling a lot of apps but nothing helps. I even reinstalled my kernel and ROM with no improvements.

My theory is that the last text message i received clobbered something in memory. I have been trying to find out where the text messages are stored on my phone so i can delete them and see if that solves the problem.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm using:

1) EE4 Debloated V4.2.1 Froyo kernel -- PeanutButta Jelly - 7.30.11

2) ee4 debloated v4.2.1 Froyo Rom - 6.10.11

3) Clockwork Mod Recovery imNuts - 7.30.11
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdellingson7:
My suggestion is to just flash the ee4 debloated rom right over what you have. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and don't worry about data so you don't lose your data. Also if the kernel you are on is the pbj voodoo kernel then flash kernel in same session in the recovery so you remain on ext4. Otherwise it won't boot
[Verizon Droid Charge] scourge99:
I already reflashed the ROM with no luck.

Is the cache clearing and dalvik cache clearing available in the Clockwork Recovery screen?

I don't understand what you are saying about the ext4 session. I need to flash the pbj kernel in the same session as what? When i reflash the rom or when i clear the caches? Maybe you can rephrase.

I am currently using the ext4 filesystem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scourge99:
Big fat fail. Neither clearing the dalvik cache nor the regular cache helped.
[Verizon Droid Charge] scourge99:
Factory wiping phone seems to be the only thing that worked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I would try backing up all important info like pics, documents, things of that nature and putting them on a computer and then odin back to factory and start all over again. I constantly get process.acore FC's all the time (especially on the car dock and charge base) so I may end up doing the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rj57:
I had similar problem that started in my contacts database when I was running a similar configuration as you. The factory wipe worked for about a week. Ended up going to stock and then rerooting to get stable.

[HTC EVO 3D] subliminal609:
Just wondering, I always liked the Espresso Rosie Ports on the OG EVO and perfered the setup of the My touch 4g UI rather than the Sense on the EVO series. I know theyre both sense ui, but if any developer have seen the preview from the Amaze 4g its sick. I've seen posts on XDA on changing the 5MP camera to 8 MP in a flashable mod, and have personal overclocked (well flashed a kernel not developed myself) to 2.0 GHZ, the Amaze is rocking a 1.5 GHZ. So in theory if we had a kernel that was at 1.5 and had a camera that was modded to 8MP, remapped the search button to the Genius overlay and ported the Espresso UI from the AMAZE then we would inturn have an Amaze 3d 4g hybrid. If anyone can look into making this happen I would be more than happy to donate to them. I will be willing to throw 50 bucks to them and beta test as much as they would like. It's sad that I flash several roms (current being MYN's ) everyday and am never happy. Let me know if this can happen, I know our processors are just 3rd Gen Dual Core snapdragons and the Amaze is rocking a s3 1.5 GHZ snapdragon but i can't see the architecture or actual technology be anything more than just a higher clock frequency. Then again I've got dual degrees in Computer Information Systems, not mobile electronics engineering so I might be talking out my ass, who knows! :P Let me know if this is possible and we can make this happen.
