Camera works for me. On stock HTC landscape photos were wide, but on cyanogenmod they are not.

I get the choice of..

8MP

5MP (widescreen)

3MP

2.5MP (widescreen)

etc etc.... can't remember exactly. But The quality seems so much better than before - i'm just using the camera app that came with it.

You just cant set it to autofocus AND tap to focus. I like to do both.

same lol .. i also get that . I give up on the camera. totally uninstalled them and is now using Little Photo or Pudding Camera for my shots :D

Well the MiUI one works a little better than the stock CM7 one but it still has grain. I tried little photo but it looked exactly the same.

Cool This is a newbie flash thread and thanks to all, I got many new information in this as I am newbie on flashing (common I got IS jus 15 days ago :P )

Well I have some queries.. better off clear here itself (Yea I have got many answers with search button but I wanna clarify myself)

1. By taking backup of stock present ROM in my mob nd installing Custom, my warranty will be voided.. If I wanna get back my warranty, will it help if I restore the Original Backup ROM?? Will they any way find the temp change in rom??

2. I wanna switch from Sense because of battery(only 11hrs of normal usage:eek:).. But I don wanna go out of sense as its awesom.. My question is.. If I go for sense 3.5 ROM..Will it be proper than the stock?? Terms of battery..
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
1. I think you can restore to the stock firmware but someone else will have to confirm that.

2. I installed CyanogenMod 7.1 and it works so much faster than sense.
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
is it only our beloved IS that suffers from camera lag or are there any other HTC phones ? what about the DHD ?
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
No camera lag, camera has been good.. probably better!!
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
could you like use your camera in low light conditions ? preferably indoor.

The camera works at 9fps in indoor lighting, I don't know much about how Linux works and this kernel and source code stuff but didn't HTC released the kernel source codes for the IS? or are they incomplete ? because this is a driver problem.
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Here's a few shots using the 8MP and auto-focus

light conditions:

http://i55.tinypic.com/2wfqm9y.jpg (crappy focus - light was on - indoors)

http://i52.tinypic.com/12648dy.jpg (extremely good - outdoors)

http://i52.tinypic.com/2dvrllg.jpg (very good as well - outdoors)

low light conditions:

http://i52.tinypic.com/n19lqq.jpg (indoors - no light on. but strange that the left side is black. Did not put fingers near camera or LED. another example:

He means videocamera to check the frames per second..
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Oh.. not sure

It's set on HD (30M) and not frames per second.

Video is ok, sound sounds crappier but does not autofocus and cannot do tap to focus either. doesnt bother me as i've never had to record anything
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
not only the video camera but the camera preview as well, just move the phone in low light conditions and see how choppy the preview is.
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Yeah it's good on cm7.

On miui it was crap, would be very laggy and takes about 2 seconds

To refresh the camera picture. This is almost instant and much better.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
Just put the newest CM7 on my incredible and i love it, except for the weird battery life problems im currently having.
[HTC Incredible S] mandeep294:
worked for me too.thanks

bt i like sense so went for android revolution hd.incredible...
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
No complaints here with cm7 however I'd like to customise it more.

Also, my awake time is identical to the 'on battery' time which means something is using the battery in the background, even though my phone lasted almost a whole day of heavy use (3h screen on time on 3g and approximately 2h of music)

How do I fix this? And how do I customise
[HTC Incredible S] hussainmushahid:
I'm sorry but that's not the case with me, MIUI is based on CM7 and both have this problem.Here's a video sample I made sometime back:

as much as I love CM7, I often record videos with my phone and mostly indoors and I can't always have my camcorder with me.Thankfully atleast there is sound in video recording now, I hope someone is able to fix the video problem now.
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
oh.. yeah my video looks like that. i see no problem

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navillos:
I literally is out in one day come on get it together mods.
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
install the battery calibration app (by nema).

let the phone reach 100%, then reboot without unplugging. as soon as it reaches 100% again, immediately hit the calibration button and unplug. do not wait, thinking that you are going to trickle charge. for some reason, the battery will start discharging as soon as it hits 100% even when plugged in. i think it's a hardware issue.

this method has worked well for me. just wanted to share with the rest of you. cheers.
[HTC Incredible S] joaonds:
This App need root ?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
sounds good
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
yes, I believe so
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
Yes root is needed.
[HTC Incredible S] shiningarmor:
if u prefer to do the simpler way, (assuming u have root) . simply flash clockworkmod recovery and you'll have options for wiping battery stats. and the reason behind 95% after fully charging is because htc's stock battery is simply... cheap. u charge to 100%, and the battery thinks that 100% is too much, thus before reaching 100%, the charge is already cut. so the 100% is just eye candy.. the actual percentage at full charge might be 98 or 97, we dont know..

source : tested this with seidio extended 2500mah battery with seidio's charger and htc stock battery with htc stock charger.

results : seidio battery stays at 100% after full charge while htc stock battery instantly drops to 95% after one minute of full charge
[HTC Incredible S] suchevent:
i don't see how it's easier to boot into recovery and erase battery stats manually when the app does it automatically :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 026TB4U:
I am having issues with getting notifications on this phone. There is no LED noification light and I don't always hear the audible alert.

Is there a way to make the lock screen light up when a text is received? I have the stock messages and the AT&T messages installed, and neither seem to do this. It will sit there blank until I press the power button and see that something has come in.

I am using the AT&T messages for the visual voicemail, but again, open to suggestions.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
my screen comes on when i get a text message. stock messaging app.

you can try SMS Popup and play with the settings in it to get what you want, like text message reminders and screen on/off
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 026TB4U:
Mine never has, even before I installed AT&T messages.

Is there a setting that I missed?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Personally I'd recommend looking into Handcent. It's a much better SMS app imo and it definitely allows a screen pop to occur when the phone is asleep upon receiving a new message. A lot more customization as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
i would prefer GO SMS PRO over handcent, but thats a personal preference.

@026TB4U, there are no settings within the stock messaging app that would enable/disable screen activation. it just works. when i get a text message and my screen is off, it comes on, shows me the slide to text, then after a few more seconds it shuts off

SMS Popup will allow you to do all kinds of things while still using the stock messaging app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 026TB4U:
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into them.

What about voicemail?Do any of these handle that? How are you getting notified?

I would really like to find out why mine is not lighting up....lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nybmx:
I use google voice and love it. Free visual voicemail and they even transcribe it for you. Also +1 on handcent. Been using that for a long time now and love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
Mine wakes on a new message and gives the audible alert, if you don't have it silenced.

Ok, that's 3 people that have confirmed that my phone is not behaving correctly.

Anybody have any ideas why?

My phone wakes on incoming sms as well.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlueRaja:
Hi All,

I'm trying to use the custom_backup_list.txt file to preserve my hosts file after a flash of a new nightly.

However, when i put /etc/hosts into custom_backup_list.txt it ignores it and deletes it anyway.

Also, if i use adb and type

adb pull /etc/hosts

or

adb pull /system/etc/hosts

or

adb remount

+ above

It doesn't see the hosts file, i get

"remote object '/etc/hosts' not a file or directory"

which makes me think im getting the path wrong.

If i use File expert and navigate to /etc/ the hosts file is there and populated with adfree updates.

So, what am i doing wrong here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
u have to populate the custom backup list in this way

etc/hosts
app/TheAppYouwant.apk
...

without the / at the beginnning of each line

about the adb command to save it on ur computer

adb remount [hit enter]
adb pull /system/etc/hosts C:\TheFolderYouWant\ [hit enter]

(this after 2 minutes searching on google)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlueRaja:
Well maybe you should have spent longer searching on Google because it doesn't work,:D, also if you checked my post above you would see i already tried adb pull /system/etc/hosts after adb remount.

In case your wondering , if you don't specify C:\TheFolderYouWant\ etc it assumes pwd (present working directory).

I can for instance pull custom_backup_list.txt from etc by specifying

adb pull /etc/custom_backup_list.txt

with no problem whatsoever, it seems to be specific to hosts.

Can i also ask how you know about

etc/hosts
app/TheAppYouwant.apk
...

I have other apps in the custom_backup_list.txt file that start /etc/ that are preserved fine which again points to a specific issue with hosts and hence why i think these two point may be connected.

For people trying to get crt animation on stock EP3H try this. Use root explorer and place this file in system/framework. I take no responsibility if this causes problems with your phone.

Cool thanks. I will try it out. Did you have to modify anything more than just that one file?

Sent from my SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] bigbean2006:
1st thing first I would never just copy and paste a framework-Res.APk do to alot of issues that my fellow, always adb push system filesfiles. And for the CRT animation its possible cause I have it on my 2.3.5 humble 2.2. But from my experience with this mod is to clear cache, and delvic cache each 3 times. And the best way is to take the modified framework and create a CWM zip and wipe the big 3 and then flash, then reapply your data. If anyone needs help just PM
[Verizon Droid Charge] jselden:
I did actually wipe my cache and devalik cache several times. I did perform via adb push and pull. any changes to the system I perform this way cause like you said you will run into problems. I also made a CWM and tried to flash and still it didnt work.

I downloaded the Greys and Blacks Theme w/ CRT and checked the bools.xml file and found that this file was actually not changed from the stock 2.3.5 file.(Unless for some reason I downloaded the wring file) So there has to be another file that needs to be edited in the framework-res.apk or the twframework. I have started to dig through the xml files to find changes and compare.

Someone on IRC actually posted a framework-res file last night on IRC and I downloaded and tried to push it and it caused a bootloop (rhcp[linux] was the username)

With that being said I know that this is not needed it is just fun to have.

Thanks for everyone trying to help as well. I know it is possible and maybe this weekend if I get some time I will be able to get it working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bigbean2006:
Well let me know how it goes over the weekend... if you need help let me know. 1 question are you deleting the resource file before you complete the process? If you need help just PM me if you would like

[Verizon Droid Charge] lane32x:
I've been told by Devs to never take advice from people who say to wipe each thing 3 times.

When people used to talk about doing the 3 wipes, they were referring to wiping Cache, Data, Dalvick. Not wiping one of them 3 times. Also, there used to be a glitch with CWM where some things were not getting wiped on some phones *cough*fascinate*cough*cough but it didn't matter how many times you tried the same procedure, it wasn't going to wipe b/c the program just wasn't executing properly.

Ok, now I have a legitimate question: Why would you say to push using ADB instead of just copying using root explorer? It seems like lots of users copy system files using root explorer all the time, but I guess I can see how it could be a bad idea trying to replace a file that is currently in use. I just assumed that the OS wouldn't try to access the new file until a reboot.

Wiping three times is like >.<

is a nice read.

I've had to replace my framework-res.apk file 4 times, every time I copied and pasted using root explorer, followed immediately by a restart. Each time was after a ROM flash or .zip update and never had an issue. I'd get 2 or 3 FCs immediately after the copy/paste but everything is all good after a reboot.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
UI and UX are two different things. The UI of WP7 and ZuneHD are similar. WP7 is to ZuneHD what iPhone is to iPod Touch. The ZuneHD UI is mostly replicated in the Music & Videos Hub (like "iPod" on iPhone). I tend to think Metro is Godly for Media Player-type applications, but terrible for general end-user applications.

The panning isn't the issue, it's the user controls that are a problem for me, and the lack of Chrome and in many cases visual feedback when working with UI elements (i.e. Tapping a link and nothing visual to let you know you actually hit the link in many cases).

For Media Players, Zune > *

For General Applications, I tend to prefer iOS and WebOS to Android to everything else.

I do think they should have tried to replicate the ZuneHD interface 100% in the "ZuneHD Hub," though. They also should have given WP7 equivalent CODEC support.
