I guess with the eq on its forcing the CPU to get involved even when in low power mode. Unfortunately I believe that was causing other issues with crashing. Since I don't use 48KHz mp3 I'll leave it off. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awaterhouse:
For poweramp try settings... Audio engine.. Advanced tweets and change the audio buffer size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pyrotechnic:
Having the EQ turned on seems to work, just set it to flat and turned the 3d effect down. Guess it'll use less extra battery than using a 'keep awake' app like I was doing.

Picked up a mytouch for 50 bucks, trying to root it the same way I did mine, I placed the root folder on sd card, temp rooted through visionary and entered commands in terminal emulator, when I restart S is still on?

You've gotta downgrade back to stock with the pd15img.zip file. Then u can begin the root process. I suggest using the ultimate s off thread in the development forums.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] meerdog:
I have been repeatedly peeved by publishers putting their magazines on iPad and neglecting Android tablets.

I noticed recently that the New Yorker is offering their mag on the Galaxy Tab through a application called Next Issue - you can download it directly at nextissue.com The app itself seems to have a fair number of other magazines, and have been adding more.

I installed the app, entered my existing subscriber # and it works great! Great interface that is perfect for my Flyer!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] shdwknt:
​

I cant find any good magazine apps that offer magazines I want to read.. and the few that do.. their apps suck/have crappy interfaces..

I really like the kindle app but there are no magazines that I want to read on it..

Scuba Diving, and video game magazines and toy magazines interest me.. yet I have never found one on any of the good readers.. nothing from amazon, nothing from kindle, nook.. etc..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] meerdog:
I know what you mean - it is a real pain to search through different publishers that create their own crappy platforms.

According to their website, Nextssue.com is a joint venture between Condé Nast, Hearst, Meredith, News Corporation and Time, Inc. so this might be _the_ simplified platform that makes it easier for publishers to put their content on tablets.

The NYer app is pretty slick, the interface is a little unintuitive, but is easy to pick up. Graphics heavy magazines might be more of an issue reformatting/reflowing to a tablet. One thing that sucks on that platform is that some of the content is designed for larger screens and is not backwards compatible - like Car & Driver is only for 1280x800 tablets :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
How do I get the APK?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] meerdog:
Go to nextissue .com on your tablet, and select Get App (it is not available in Google Market)

Thanks guys, didn't see it at first on the web page. Can't wait to try it out. Been dissappinted that Barnes & Noble never added the New Yorker to their list of magazines readable on the Nook App.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Try Zinio for magazines also.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Just downloaded an issue of the New Yorker to test it out. Really, really like the format. I could se myself re-subscribing... especially since a subscription to the magazine apparently entitles me to the digital editions for free! Yeah!

Hello,

So as the title says, I used TGA_Gunnman's steps in order to Root from 2.3.3,

and would like to test out a better ROM. I'm thinking about trying a ROM

that's not as buggy.

Is it possible to backup all my installed apps before proceeding

assuming I can even install a new ROM in the state my phone is in?

Thx in advance...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
TTT...pls help..ty.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
Yes. That's what Nandroid backup is for.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I use Titanium Backup Free from the market. Under preferences change the default backup location to your external SD card. Go to batch and chose "backup all user apps". To be extra safe, copy the backup created by TI to your computer for safe keeping.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
Created Back up...

Here's what I've done...

*I entered ClockworkMod Recovery (via pwr button +down volume) and

created back up there.

Where are the back ups stored so I can delete old one?

*Can I still restore to backup I created after factory reset?

Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Use a file explorer and look on your external SD card for the file called Clockworkmod/backup/the date of the backup.

I mentioned Titanium Backup because it has been full proof for me restoring my user apps from Rom to Rom.

Yes, you should be able to retore after a factory reset or trying another Rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
So when I factory reset via clockworkmod, then I can re-enter recovery

there and restore to last backup? So this means all the stock apps I

removed will be there right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
Ok, so I factory reset via cwm, restored to back up, and

Now phone is back to the way it was before i reset to factory

Settings.

My sounds only for unlock/lock and camera not workin

Is driving me bonkers.

Think i'm ready to try new rom once I.can figure

Out how to install the new rom and apply it.

As long as I have backup in CWM, I can restore to back up

After install of new rom right?

Thx
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
You are correct. I love weapon 3.O

Did you try titanium backup for your user apps? Games, etc.?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
Feel so ignorant....i'm still grying to figure out how to

flash (install) weopon..heck any rom for that matter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Keep in mind not backing up your Apps, you will loose them putting on another rom. Use the above mention for the App backup.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
Don't I already have the back up that I created within Clockworkmod

or do I need to use another program like TI to back up?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
FINALLY able to install new roms, tried weopon...but when I re-install

TI to restore back up, I don't get most of everything back

(pics, apps, contacts, etc)...

perhaps I backed up incorrectly...will try and repeat steps.

In the meantime, I had to restore to my saved image

via clockwork.:eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Pictures and contacts shouldn't be changing around as you should have contacts backed up through gmail, and your pictures should be saved on your sdcard. Application and data like ringtones and phone setup should be restored if done properly through titanium backup or something similar.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I would suggest restoring the original backup you made. Then use TI to back up all your user apps as I described above.

Next step - install your new rom, then restore your apps from TI. Again, be sure to change the default save location of TI to your external SD card before you make the backup of your apps.

There is a ton of info on these topics. So much so that it can be a little confusing. Let me know if you have more questions.

Feel free to hit the thanks if anyone's advise helps you.;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psukid:
So i'm finally good on flashing ROMS but TI is a bit touchy for me.

When I restore the backup I made in the "Batch File" area,

do I restore do I run...when I tried the one that says restore all

apps and user data, I had to individullay install each one...

perhaps this is due to me using the free version???

Will TI backup all my contacts too and the contents of my SD card?

If you have a problem buying apps, dont ever expect us to have the quality of iPhone apps. Its bad enough that android owners are seen as too cheap to support app development.

Let's be honest, why would more developers start developing for android when they can't make the money to make it worth their time. If you have a problem with paying 10 cents, don't expect android to ever have the quality of iPhone. App developers on iPhone can get up to $10 for their app, and android has problems getting users to pay 10 cents. Where do you think the majority of app development is going to take place?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
Beautiful Widgets is a great app that I purchased at full price a long time ago and was definitely worth the money. Support your favorite apps. Try them out for free and if you like them, support the developer. The future of android depends on developers getting support or developers will stop developing and we will be stuck with a bunch of apps that are developed by high school and college kids who will eventually follow the money.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Damn dude, harsh comment but so true. Its makes you want to go on about how we Android users need to stop being cheap.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnaferraro:
I've actually purchased beautiful Widgets 3 time prior @ full price because my Google acct didn't save that app. It was the only paid app it didn't save. I purchased it repeatedly only for the fact of supporting development. I agree 100 percent in supporting developers. I've donated chose paying for apps instead of getting them for free. I'm giving out the information for people to do what they please with, along with everyone else. If people want to never have to pay for anything, then they will be that way regardless. People need to truly appreciate what these developers. Give thanks, give feedback and always always always donate if possible.

Sent from an EpicBlue CM7X2
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
I agree about paying and donating. What's really crazy is how people complain about ads in free versions. I think its great, if its an app I use but not often then I'll deal with adds, if I use it a lot I'll buy it. Either way, support the devs
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
I agree. It's like some people expect the app developers to develop for free. While some may, its not an effective way to get better apps on our market.

One thing that I do with some paid apps that interest me but don't offer a free version to try out, is download it from one of the free sites then if I like it, I buy it, and if I dont, it gets deleted. One app that I highly suggest doing that for is the 3d SPB Launcher that costs $15.(personally think that development company got greedy by charging that much for a home launcher without offering a trial version for users to try out before spending that much on an app)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Yeah SPB is awesome but now they locked the 1.5.1 version and above. The 1.2.4 version still works tho.
[HD2 General] abati:
Folks,

It began with connecting my hd2 to my computer somehow my pc could not detect my phone, but when i struggled with the cable inside the phone the comuter was able to detect my phone but then it was again disconected. But charging via the adapter was posible.

But now i cant charge with the adaptor and even connect the phone with my computer.

I have a android on my phone, and im not able to go back to the official os.

Can some one help,
[HD2 General] se1988:
Have you tried a nother USB cable?
[HD2 General] Ciba1991:
Have you tried connecting with a different cable? Are you trying to connect from android or MAGLDR? What do you mean by "adapter"?

Just a couple of questions that might help the community better diagnose your problem.

Also, on that note, you don't need the USB to go back to Windows Mobile, the SD card method is also always availible. Unless of course you wish not to lose HSPL and MAGLDR. Though i realise all of the above is of little use to you currently if you cannot charge your device.

i feel you bro
[HD2 General] abati:
bro,

i tried everything also the sd card method it did not work out for me.

The only way was just to struggle with the cable in order to charge, it took me alot of time cuz i had to hold the cable the hole time like a statue.

if i moved a little bit i just easily lost the connection with the charging or the usb connection with the pc.

with a lot of effort i managed to install the official wp 6.5 os and remove the hspl.
[HD2 General] abati:
I just send it for repair to htc so i dont have to worry about it anymore.
[HD2 General] tecle2595:
yeah thats happened to me. some hd2s have an issue with mini usb port not really being soldered right, so it seems sometimes its "loose" and i remember what time i was flashing a rom, and it just paused and i got an error. im sure you had to hold it a certain way just to get a charge huh? lol

if you have a know how, its pretty easy to solder the usb on real tight, if not just send it in for repair.
[HD2 General] abati:
ahaha nice man,

But i was holding the whole time the phone with the charger and in the same time i was giving my little sister instruction to start the program to flash an go on. Other wise i would lose the charge opportunity, it was really hard.
[HD2 General] tecle2595:
yea, theres a thread here that i followed to fix it permanently the first try. was real easy. but glad you got it fixed and returned it to stock
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambrice:
I'm running CyanogenMod on a CDMA verizon Galaxy Tab 7. Bluetooth tethering is not working correctly, and it seems to be because hci0 has a bluetooth MAC address of "43:29:B0:00:00:00". This seems to be a generic bt address used when it can't find the address of the device, and this address causes problems for networking.

According to the /init.rc, the bluetooth address should be read from "/efs/bluetooth/bt_addr":

setprop ro.bt.bdaddr_path "/efs/bluetooth/bt_addr"

But I don't have an /efs directory and I can't find any files under /sys that contain the hardware address.

Does anyone have a correct bluetooth address (run "hciconfig" from the shell to show it) and if so can you tell me where the ro.bt.bdaddr_path in /init.rc points to?

How to build 2.3.7 for Nexus S

This is just a snippet that may help you.

I tested a quick build. And it's working.
[Nexus S General] elegos:
A virtual machine with limited RAM in order to compile AOSP? Definitively not a good idea. Why not dual boot? Sooooo easy to install the worst distro ever (*buntu).
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
This is awesome. My only problem is that I only have VMWare Workstation 7. :(
[Nexus S General] sashajovicic:
Super! Waiting for this
[Nexus S General] TeCH-Guruz:
Who would have guessed that an android dev would have difficulty setting up a linux enviroment . . . go figure.
[Nexus S General] ka24e:
You do not have to be an Android Dev to compile Android. I haven't written a single line of code for Android and can compile AOSP 2.3.7 fine.

This is simply to save time. And if you have good enough hardware (like myself) compiling Android AOSP in a VM session works perfectly fine.

Most people that are into computers have a rocking system. I have 12GB ram, I dedicate 8 for my VM and the rest for my main OS (windows 7). Works fine, what's the issue?

Some people don't want to dual boot and sometimes a Linux distro doesn't support certain hardware or can't be installed.
[Nexus S General] S suxeN:
I would appreciate it. THANKS
[Nexus S General] ranasrule:
nice.....this could be very useful
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
You seem to be the only one against uploading this.

Guys I am still trying to upload it. I am splitting it in 700MB sizes. Crocko's uploadservice is down. I will upload it on depositfiles and multiupload

12,5%
[Nexus S General] suksit:
@FeaRThiS just stated the obvious. I also think the first step to understand how to build an AOSP ROM is knowing how to setup the development environment.

I don't have anything against using a VMWare image. But, IMHO, considering the time for uploading/downloading the file, if you do the setup yourself (in VMWare or whatever), you should have already been compiling your ROM by now.
[Nexus S General] S suxeN:
Okay, its not useful for you two.

Next!

I like it and i will try it.
[Nexus S General] TeCH-Guruz:
I have nothing against it and it may even be useful in case of emergency when you can not access a linux machine, but as stated by @S suxeN the first step for any dev would be learning to create their own dev enviroment.
[Nexus S General] S suxeN:
i didnt say that.

but the statement is right. Anyways i yet think this image is of great use, as you can always start from there, if u did something wront, what can always happen to nun-linux users. :D
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
I don't know anything about linux. Is Eclipse with ADT on here by any chance? If not, what IDE is there to develop with in this VM?
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
I didn't think that far. Eclipse is not installed.

But I will work on it for next release. For now you have to install it manually. I hope tomorrow evening the new vmware will be uploaded!
[Nexus S General] mike_art03a:
Hey guys, don't be so hard on the fella. He's doing us a great service in a way. Not all of us are able to bring laptops wherever we go, dual-boot, etc. I just downloaded this to my external drive that I use to keep my stuff on for work and it'll come in handy when I wanna test apps without worrying about nuking my phone.

Also, it helps that I can demo apps on the thing to co-workers on screen than using a phone. That way I won't have to worry about them screwing things up if they decided to 'explore.'

Can someone help me with this? This has the binaries for the Nexus S.

Where do I place the scripts?

I have a vendor folder with several maps in it now. But I don't know what I have to do now.

I placed the 'vendor' folder in my working directory. But lunch isn't showing up crespo in the list.

These are my steps:

Building

I executed lunch. I realised I did not have crespo in the list. So next, I read the line 'Building for devices'.

Eventually I ended up here:

Building devices

I clicked the link and downloaded the GWK74 binaries.

Now then I read further:

I have the vendor hierarchy...

Do I have to put these files in:

my home folder/bin

OR

home folder/workingdirectory_name

Or what do I have to do now?
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
updated first post with small hint on how to download 2.3.7 for our Nexus S. Good luck!
[Nexus S General] amosher13:
yep, i think this is pretty awesome. for me, i'm not an android dev but i've dabbled with theming and porting mods from other phones to the epic 4G previously. i'd love to be able to start with a system ready to go and mess around with some guides to learn how to compile source, etc... thanks.
[Nexus S General] havok123:
Nice image man, gonna give it a go later. Thought I'd put my word in the discussion , sure there lots of talented devs, but they have all got different hardware/software and time requirements. So this becomes a useful tool to add to the inventory.
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
I am making a new image based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS release. I consider that one to be more stable.

I had a few issues with this one.
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
Holy mother of god, compiling in VMWare is amazing.

It takes the most out of my Inspiron N5110 2630QM. My poor Inspiron is at the edge of overheating.

2630QM max temp at 87C

v0.2 will include a lot of fixes and will be easier to compile a AOSP ROM. So please wait if you can.

UPDATE 1: New VMWare image is being uploaded!
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
released!

Now you have more tools at your disposal.

Also Eclipse+ADT and Android Kitchen is included.
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
the crocko link is not working for me.

I was able to build a full build with the previous VMWare image but I don't know anything about Ubuntu so I couldn't install the ADT Plugin. I'd rather just download your latest image. Please fix link.

Update: I downloaded Eclipse 3.7.1 and it installed the ADT Plugin with a breeze. BTW, my dev machine isn't that great. I only put 4GB on your guest machine.
[Nexus S General] djjonastybe:
links are fixed. You can download again!
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
my i7 870 processor has 8 cores right? is 8Gb ram enough to build a GB rom?
[Nexus S General] LordPhong:
There's a huge difference between 8 cores and 8 threads. You have 8 threads. Nevertheless, that's more than enough. I'm running the VM on a quad core with only 4 threads. I don't know about the new image but the old image only allocated 1 core. If you want more, remember to change your setting.
[Nexus S General] thegtfusion:
Aah I see. But I think building my own rom is a little too complicated for me.( I'm just 16 years old). Maybe later i'll learn java and etc :p
