[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emccalment:
I came across this and couldn't find a solution to my issue. All issues seem to be different, but in my case I could have my device recognized in the Kindle Fire Utility, and it noted that I was in recovery mode. Trying to change one of the boot modes caused it to just hang at the activation screen.

While it's hanging if you just try to cancel the operation, CTRL+C, it will suddenly decide it wants to work, and then you just tell it not to stop. Then you're back in normal boot mode and business as usual.

Just thought I'd share since this was about the only thing that showed up from a series of google searches involving the words recovery loop, lol.

im having trouble on getting my kindle off from the boot loop and ive read ur thread, but i cant seem to get in to fastboot nor cant i mount my kindel from TWRP so i could inject files to the SD CARD. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME????
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zane203:
As b63 linked you, download that utility, and then do this:

-Turn your kindle off by holding the power button down for at most 20 seconds.

-Plug kindle into your computer

-Run the unbrick utility

-Turn kindle on

-Wait for the Caution Sign with the fire logo (firefirefire logo)

-Choose first option on utility (Recovery Loop)

-Wait... (a max of 10 minutes)

This should work, if not, try to turn off your kindle on and off, and then try again.

This should work regardless if your device was found or not. This sounds like the problem I had. I wish you guys the best of luck.

[General Questions and Answers] mangland:
Some one please help. First off my problem isn't really my problem. It is my co-workers issue. We both have AT&T Inspire 4G. Both are rooted. I rooted mine myself with XDA's help of course and I'm loving every min! At the momment I am running RCMix3D Runny v4.0 and it seems great. My fave so far has been CoreDroid. Anywho. The problem is on my co-workers inspire no matter what ROM he installs he cannot connect to the internet. I have looked at everything I can think of and see no reason why. If he reverts back to a rooted stock ROM it works fine. CoreDroid, ClearDroid, Leedroid, RCMix and MIUI all did the same on his phone. I have flashed all the same ROMs and had no issues. Please help if you can!!!!:mad:
[General Questions and Answers] Skellyyy:
WiFi or cellular data? If it's data make sure he has the right setting and access point names etc. (compare yours to his to check easily).
[General Questions and Answers] mangland:
It is data. He can send and receive calls and SMS or MMS with no problem from either ROM. Its only internet. He trys to go to home page and it tells him it is unable. That was the first thing I did was compare his phone to mine. thank you for replying. any other ideas?

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Was looking around for people that have done it on blogs, asked a couple friends...etc

Was wondering if anyone on here have done the steps to chrome out your kickstand. I heard its ideal for people that have a peeling kickstand or just wanted to try it in general.

I came across this when searching google---> http://blog.whitesites.com/Chrome-HTC-HD2-Battery-Cover-Tutorial__634103488469591250_blog.htm

So i would expect it to be somewhat similar. I have a HD7 on the way today because i want to give Mango a try for a month or so. :D

So what do you guys think?

If this has been asked or done already please direct me, and i will give thanks.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelliottz:
I know that the kick stand is metal. I remember a thread quite a while back with people complaining about the clear coat peeling off. Mine is flaking and I've thought about sanding it down. I'm guessing you could follow any of the threads for some of the other devices; G2, Hd2, Nexus One, Sensation, etc, that posted how-to's on this. It shouldn't be too difficult.

I would however worry about dust getting into the phone unless you want to go to the trouble of taking your phone apart to remove the piece from the phone before working on it.

Post pics if you go for it. I would love to see the finished product.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauticol:
I should tell you my kickstand was peeling off and it was horrible, so I continued peeling off till I got it completely removed and now it looks pretty nice, with a much more convincing chrome look.. Tomorrow I'll show you some pictures (3:30 AM here).
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Thanks alot. I'm curious to see how it looks.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devnode:
Havent tried to polish yet but i know i got a little spot on my kickstand that looks like its peeling off too like lauticol said 2 posts ago.

And i agree with lauticol when he said it looks like its more even or more like crome.. not like that ugly "original" somehow painted kickstandshape.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauticol:
Well, here's the photos I promised, and also a video because I didn't knew if you could see it well through the pictures.. You may see some scratches (had an acciden :( ) but I'ts really beautifull, it was the best thing I did to my HD7 (talking about hardware obviously :D )

I'm thinking of a future project for my phone, "chrome polish" the little tier that says "HD7" because it has a little peeling off (But I don't know if the word "HD7" will be removed too).

I can't put the embed video player, but here's the link

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
For all the Devs in the ASGS2 forum, are you guys finding your rom/kernel threads being clogged up with a bunch of random questions/issues? How would you feel if I made you all each a Q&A thread dedicated to your work in the Q&A forum? Do you feel that would help you/your thread? Please let me know what you think or how you feel, and hit up the poll to cast your vote.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
This was done in the Cappy section because they had a minimum post restriction to keep the spoon feeding clutter down in the Dev section. Not sure if that restriction is also in this section. It was only like 10 post minimum though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I tried to do this manually with Hellraiser, but it hasn't really taken off. To be honest, right now the I777 community isn't the epic cesspool that some other forums are. However over time this could change... But the kinds of users that clutter development threads are the kind who don't bother to go to Q&A threads - so does it really help anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
we did this over in captivate forums, it worked well.

we did this over in inspire forums, it was met with serious backlash by lazy ass people, and ignorance to change.

tough decision. Entropy has a point, those people wouldnt bother going to a Q&A thread...the Q&A threads should be a place where the users help each other out and raise issues. the dev threads should be there to report ACTUAL issues and request features. what happens is that one person has a problem with flashing the rom and they assume its the devs fault, and the rom is broken, and they report it as a bug....its a vicious cycle that will never end.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Well this forum is for you guys, so if you dont think its needed then I wont worry about it... just trying to help all the great devs out and make things easier if I can.

If you guys have any other suggestions or want to try something out, feel free to say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
im no developer but ive been around the forums and have come from a forum with less of a following. the problem is that the people who are asking the question's in the threads are 60-70% of the time dont read directions and will end up posting in the wrong forum anyways.... its a novel idea but i dont think it will take off, unless you lock the rom forum to devs and testers only
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
That sort of defeats the purpose I think, and I also believe that most Devs here like to have people post in their threads.

Alright guys. Ill keep it the way it already is. If your threads seem to get clogged, or you want your own dedicated Q&A thread, let me know and Ill make the adjustment at that time. Thanks for all your feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I would appreciate it, so far most of the users in this forum are above average when it comes to figuring things out own their own (searching). Only thing is I wish there was more ROM choices/themes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gtg465x:
I don't feel the need for a Q&A thread right now. I find it a bit tedious to follow two threads for my ROMs instead of one. Also, I don't really mind a few redundant questions here and there as long as it doesn't get out of hand, which it hasn't yet.

I wasn't a lazy ass or ignorant!!!!:P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
lol. feelin guilty are ya?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
Not a dev, but I do post quite often in both the dev and QA sections. I don't think there should be two threads. It seems it is more effective if there is only one thread dedicated to that rom/modem/kernel, with all bugs and support given out. Of course if you have a more complex issue, it should have it's own thread. But small issues with the rom or questions regarding how something works should be contained in the same thread as the development of the rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
i agree with this, but there tends to be an influx of people posting the same CRAP over and over and over and over in a dev thread. personally i dont give 2 flips about someone saying "THANKS!" or "CANT WAIT TO FLASH THIS!" or "WHEN IS THE NEXT UPDATE?!", i want to see CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms, requests, or logcats. having to filter through all the BS really makes it difficult to discern actual issues from fluff. there tends to be a lot of fluff that happens.

i see the dev threads as being specifically for requests/bug-tracking/break-fixes. the other stuff belongs in a thread where the users can praise, bicker, ask questions repeatedly (how do i flash this?). it should be peers helping out peers, and let the devs work on their stuff. but alas, we will never have utopian bliss....

we are lucky we havent seen much of that at all here in the GS2 forums, but man some of the other forums are riddled with noobery. lets just try to keep it clean and ask our members to mind the rules and understand whats going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yeah... I think as long as things don't become like the Infuse forums where some of the ROM threads became utter nightmares we'll be fine. But let's keep it in our back pocket in case we need it. I may even discontinue my Hellraiser Q&A for the time being.

If there's anything we may need, it may potentially be to split the development forum like the I9100 forums were in order to differentiate ports of other developer's ROMs from actual development. It isn't too bad here yet, but the Infuse forums are chock full of integrated Hellraiser ports and it's difficult to find original development among all of the ports.

I think the definitions for "Original" vs "not original" in the I9100 forums seem to be a bit arbitrary, if we DO ever go that route here I think it needs to be clearer.

"Original" - You yourself have taken a stock ROM (may be stock for another device) and modified it from scratch on the I777. All kernel development can remain here in my opinion. Discussion of actual porting techniques used by the other section can be here.

"Not original" - Another dev creates a ROM for another device, and an I777 user ports it to the I777 via Hellraiser or another technique. e.g. Hellraiser-integrated ROMs and such.

We don't need this yet here but we may - and honestly the Infuse forums need it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
I did this in the forums that PG mentioned. While yes it was a bit of a headache in the inspire forums ( they are getting used to it) and the captivate section went off without an issue I would say to go for it and if needed ill help where I can. I have to admite the 2 forums that I did this for once it was gotten by most needs less cleaning now for sure. Mainly when other users back you on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10tonhammr:
Personally I think it would be really helpful if individual posts could be categorized and/or sorted within a thread. That way all posts relating to a specific rom/development topic could remain in the same thread, but you could then filter out the garbage, sort through the questions, and find posts that are truly relevant to the topic or project or whatever. It would still depend on the users to label posts properly, but I think we're all in agreement that there is no perfect solution to the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The Boxinator:
I'm not a Dev myself but I do feel two threads isn't an ideal solution... Most ignorant people who can't find an answer in five second's or just don't feel like even trying to search will always head to the source of their ROM issues. Now if the method 10tonhammer described seems like an okay idea as long as any average person takes the task upon themselves to tag their post properly. Either way I'm not exactly the prime example of good manners on XDA :( (Feel's Guilty)

I am learning at least <3

Still running a Nook Color with a dpi of 240 in build.prop, I would very much

How about a response as to a rooted Nook Tablet with a higher (240) dpi setting?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
speaking completely out of curiosity, how can you display a higher dpi onscreen (if I'm understanding what you're asking), if the display is only capable of 169 dpi?

maybe I'm oversimplifying the question and am not understanding you.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

after doing some searching, are you referring to actual font size?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
Android allows different dp settings independent of the hardware dpi for UI design. Details in below link,

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html

Density-independent pixel (dp)

A virtual pixel unit that you should use when defining UI layout, to express layout dimensions or position in a density-independent way.

The density-independent pixel is equivalent to one physical pixel on a 160 dpi screen, which is the baseline density assumed by the system for a "medium" density screen. At runtime, the system transparently handles any scaling of the dp units, as necessary, based on the actual density of the screen in use. The conversion of dp units to screen pixels is simple: px = dp * (dpi / 160). For example, on a 240 dpi screen, 1 dp equals 1.5 physical pixels. You should always use dp units when defining your application's UI, to ensure proper display of your UI on screens with different densities.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
I understand the advantage to a developer laying out UI that needs to run on different display resolutions, but I don't see an advantage for an end-user. Why would you set your dpi to 240 if you can only display 169 dpi on the device? Won't the tablet simply downsize bit-mapped images when they're actually displayed?

Honest question--I'm probably not understanding something here--and I'm certainly not trying to rile anyone. Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
Per above equation, setting your device's dpi setting to 240 would allow the app to be 150% in size. This aids in legibility, at cost of more screen space.

If you have an NC, you can see this firsthand by adjusting abovesaid dpi setting in build.prop up or down.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdubr:
Ah, cool. Thanks for the info!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ganovim:
All I wanted to know was if the build.prop can be edited on a rooted NT as I have done on the NC.

Also, I will try once more. Did anyone use the Microphone with skype or some other chat app?

If so take all the apps from /data/app

Move them to /system/app. Then open illuminance and take the meta-INF folder from it and put it in the other ROM, overwriting the original. Then flash that.
