Dam I was wondering why :)

Any knowledge on the kernels though? I would think there top end voltages where the same as ours?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2011CorvetteZR1:
there are those who develop ROMs and there are those who repackage them. Cyanogen is a developer and is waiting on ASUS to publish their firmware. I am waiting for these two to come together so I can experience ics and a rom that is not buggy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danzano:

Why is it that the Google Nexus page shows little icons of the person in the notification pull down? I'm on 4.0.1, and if I get a text, I just get a regular text message icon, not the image of the person who wrote me. Is it a 4.0.2, 4.0.3 feature? Or am I missing something?!

Thanks for insight!

Lets put ugly black bars on the sides of all your pictures while giving you gorgeous 1080 video capture.. Okay seriously, any chance the stock camera apk can be modified to allow widescreen photo capture?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Software...limitations....for...NOW...hopefully Google will bump us up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devadvance:
You mean instead of taking full 5mp photos, you want the camera app to crop the top and bottom of the photo and downscale it to 2mp? Because thats what 1080p is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbenj:
When viewing a picture on a Widescreen monitor, an HDTV or our phone's screen for that matter, 16:9 just looks better.

Anyone know if this is on the to do list, or if there is a way to do enable this on the stock camera app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Surprised the camera doesn't default to 16:9. Most phone cameras haven't used 4:3 in a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
zoom in on the photo if you're bothered, I'd rather have full resolution and make full use of the 4:3 chip inside than having some cropped off.

It's as bad as the people who moan when DVDs, Blu-rays and film channels (at least here in the UK) show films properly which means there's black bars at the top and the bottom, I'd rather see the whole thing that have some edges chopped off!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gbenj:
Whats also interesting is if you take a picture while recording a video in 1080p or 720p for that matter, then those shots are in widescreen.

Forget which quality is better for a second and think about the fact that this will lead to having different aspect ratios for some of your pictures since theres no way to force is on the Camera shots.

I dont know whether the quality is better with widescreen or not (it sounds like not) but I think we can all agree we'd rather have the option to turn it on or off.

Hopefully it comes in an upgrade or MOD at some point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nycebo:
Has anyone tried using Vignette?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Balthazar B:
Yes, Vignette seems to work well on ICS. That said, I haven't found a way to make it shoot 16:9 stills. However, it looks like Camera360 Ultimate might -- and for whatever reason, it is free in the Market as I type this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dindindores:
Yeah guys, VIGNETTE works well on SGN, you ca adjust aspect ratio to 16:9.

I have just purchased this and need to try how is the quality now...

but at least it works in wide screen mode, even though the effect is more or less a zomed in pictures, but the app can save simultaneously the original 4:3 photo as well. :). It would be better to have a native 16:9 camera..

cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Krisbo:
What ROM are you using and what settings in Vignette to get it working? On my SGN it won't even refocus, it crashes as soon as I touch the screen and I get this message:

VIE encountered an error.

Runtime error: java.lang.

UnsupportedOperationException

I sent the dev an email ages ago but haven't received a response.

I've tried rebooting, un-installing, re-installing, full wipe, turning force GPU rendering both on and off and nothing seems to work :,(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Most camera-chips and camera's are 4:3, including on high-end DSLRs.

If you want it to have a widescreen look, either zoom in or just crop it. It's not that hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] helgi.ua:
Yeah, and this is limitation for capturing normal widescreen photos. For example, my previous xperia neo has 8M camera and it native sensor has 4:3 (3264*2448) or total ~8 million pixels. But it software camera has 16:9 mode which crop top and bottom lines for 16:9 (3264*1839) or total ~6 million pixels. At the end, our gnex camera has 4:3 (2592*1944) or ~5 million pixels. For cropping this to 16:9 we'll have only 1458 for height. This is totally loss information for such a sensors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
If your such a camera nazi then crop the pics to 16:9. But i agree with the people that say why downgrade quality , im sure if they did you would start a thread on nexus camera not detailed photos
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IceBean:
It's actually 3:2. Only Olympus produces 4:3 DSLRs.

Back to the main topic, if you want to capture somewhat widescreen images OP, try Camera ICS.

It doesn't do 16:9 but 3:2, at least. It also offers various improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] helgi.ua:
Is the Nexus's sensor has the aspect ratio 3:2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IceBean:
No, it's 4:3 but there's a setting in Camera ICS that automatically crops 4:3 images to 3:2.

By doing so, you lost about 0.5mp (from 5.0to 4.5mp) which isn't a big deal.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

And guess what? Camera ICS also supports 16:9 (3.8mp) format.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joseac:
Camera Mx, 16:9 aspect ratio
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sony83:
Camer JB +

Install Camera JB+ from the app store. It gives the option of Widescreen (16:9) pictures but you have to compromise with MP (3.8MP)

Is it possible to root this phone with SuperOneClick?

I have the 2.3.1 version.

Also, all the roots are for CWM ... how about ODIN?

I mean, i just bought this phone. I had Galaxy S 4G. And after unlock i lost my IMEI.... So i am careful now.

Is there a nice clean way to root the phone using ODIN in PDA section?

Thanks.

Thanks. But

1. This method is probably OK only with certain ROM's I do not want to risk my Phone. Also This method is not ODIN its CWM.

2. My question remains unansweed : Can I root using supeoneclick? I mean if i can then this way would be universal to any ROM. At least it was for SGS 4G.

Thank you guys for help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
You can use superone click on 2.3.5 but after the 2.3.6 update it doesnt work. There ya go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Keda_P:
I am sorry, but you probably have an error:

1. There is no superoneclick 2.3.5 ... the last one is 2.3.1

2. It does work for 2.3.6 on SGS 4G at least...

Have you tested it?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
2.3.5 IS the last version of Android OS it works for on our device, not the version number of the program. Hit menu>settings>about phone and you will find you version number. If you are above version 2.3.5 SuperOneClick will not work. Hope that clears it up for ya !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Keda_P:
OH OK.

So just to clear that up :

SOC will root 2.3.6 on SGS 4G, but not on SGS II ? interesting.

So how did you root yours? CWM via ODIN and then Installed the Zip file?

Will it work on my KL1 Official ROM?

Thank you all guys for your support.

I am new to SGS 2, my old SGS 4G i know from inside out... This one is different i gather.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Glad that got clarified. Yes i used odin and the flashed zip file. Very easy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kaleom:
Yuppp...using Odin easy!! The only hard problem for me is getting a Windows 7 program to download and install onto my macbook pro and trying to get familiar with the what and what not to do!! But I have to say...it was easier rooting my Gs2 then it was trying to root the mytouch 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
The thing is almost all the ROMs to flash here are already rooted. On my latest GS2 (I have had 3) I just ran odin and flashed CWM, then installed my choice of rom. No rooting necessary, there are also stock rooted/debloated ROMs if you wanna stay as close to stock as possible :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ninosmaxima:
Zerg rush works really well as a one click rooter , then I used rommanager to flash cwm. Superoneclick is a nice app though

[GSM/CDMA] How to flash via RSD when you read "Cannot program" or "Battery LOW"

Welcome to Eternity Project!

What are these things?

The Motorola FactoryCable is simply skipping the battery and making your phone to take the necessary current for powering it up from your PC's USB.

Note that it won't charge your battery. It will SKIP IT.

On a device with removable battery, if you remove the batt, it will still powerup with that cable.

Why should I have one?

- "Cannot program" or " Battery Low" when you try to flash via RSD. The Factory Cable eliminates this problem.

- The device won't powerup or charge: if it works with a Factory Cable, then it's a battery problem. If not, your device is a paperweight.

- If anyone finds other uses for it, I'll write 'em here :P

-----Factory Cable:-----

You need:

1. An USB cable to break, or an USB to MicroUSB adapter (~2$) to break.

2. A brain

3. Soldering iron (if you don't find another method for fixing the cable.....)

4. A brain.

5. Pieces of rigid copper or aluminium (copper preferred)

Pinout:

1	VCC	Red	+5 VDC

2	D-	White	Data -

3	D+	Green	Data +

4	ID	NC	Identification

5	GND	Black	Ground

Schematics:

Guide for a 3-in-1 cable:

1. Solder rigid copper wires on PIN 1, 4 and 5.

2. Drill 3 holes in your USB to MicroUSB adapter for making the rigid wires to pass through.

3. Connect PIN4 to PIN1 (externally :D) for FACTORY CABLE or PIN4 to PIN5 for OTG CABLE (for USB HUBs and USBHost functionalities). Don't connect anything for normal USB cable for USBSync/ADB etc.

Enjoy!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
You can anyway use the Factory Cable even if your battery is in your phone.

You don't need to remove it for using the factory cable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
I'm sure this works, But:

Just fully charge it, there's a reason you're not allowed to update when running on empty, you may brick it, and without firmware you can't charge the battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] thanksgiving60:
i get the point that a little DIY is always adventurous and fun but whats the big deal to charge the device before flashing a rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
This is for a phone that can't boot the kernel for charging the battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Pietrona:
You saved me

Uhhhhh,

i used Your scheme and everything is correct,

i just programmed the phone while battery was low and bricked it, but with your cable averything was fine..................you saved my phone...

thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chaihg:
I remember doing this for my Defy and actually fried the Battery after doing it for more than 4-5mins.

I dont know if this setup is an improvment over that but I think one needs to be careful. Before, we ended up with a hot over charged battery and had to buy a new one. Later we got hold of an external battery charger (that was a removable battery of course).

I hope some accessory like that exists on eBay for us to just order it incase phone goes dead. We might be able to just open screws, pop out the battery and put it into a charger :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
@Pietrona

The EternityProject is here for helping ;)

@chaihg

I've used it with my ATRIX and never experienced something like that.

Perhaps, your cable was bad and shortcircuited something else or your battery was already bad ... or the DEFY simply reacts different.

But anyway the battery circuits are stopping the charging process when it is fully charged, so probably your battery was bad.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xTremePower:
EDIT : THANKS

You save the life of my phone !!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xTremePower:
BUT :

How can I charge the phone now ?

The phone boot very well in android, but battery bar stay red

If I plug in a normal usb cable, it was a White front LED, but the phone don't want to boot

If I boot with Volume UP +Down + Power, the dot disapear 5 sec and come back again

EDIT :

I found a way : I use the Car charger for charge it, with this way, it charging

But, can't charge now in normal Usb.... with the computer, in Charging only mod, or in Storage mod, he don't wan't to charge....

.... after 5 reboots, work's again oO

I don(t understand, but it work's :) ;)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] amoamare:
Just to let some people, sometimes even if you have a full battery that doesn't mean anything. It helps to ensure the flash goes well yes. Even with a full battery its possible that you flash and for what ever reasons the phone reports "Low Battery" even knowing it had a full charge. This was my case tonight, sense I was sure where I placed my original OEM Motorola cable. I decided to make one. Lol i was about to post a thread my self already seen this one though. Here is some pics of what my home made one looked like.

By the way the only cable I had spare of was a Samsung Micro, lol i must say they really in cased this puppy in a shield and bunch of rubber.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosfpr:
Hi,

Currently I have CM7 7.1.0.1-smb_a1002 Build GWK74 and I would like to upgrade my GTablet it to HoneyComb.

Which ROM is the friendliest to upgrade from CM7 (FlashBack, Bottle of Smoke, etc..)?

Do I have to go back to stock and then Flash HC or can I flash it directly from CWM and CM7? Flashing CM7 was very easy and the instructions I found for Honeycomb are super long and complicated :/

I found some tutorials but none of them make the reference flashing from CM7.

Any recommendation will be appreciated.

Cheers :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] web_ninja:
I am using Flashback 10.3, i love it!!! you will have to be on bootloader 1.2.... nvflash to stock then flash Flashback.... the instructions are there for a reason, if you don't you might run into problems. do it right the first time and you will not be disappointed...:D

also it helps to learn to use nvflash! that is a must have knowledge in case of emergency.. it saved my but numerous times!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
I'm also using Flashback 10.3 on my Gtab and also have Cyanogen 7.1 on another. Cyanogen seemed much easier to install and set up correctly, but I had to try out Honeycomb. I messed up the first try and had to redo it. It really isn't to long or complicated and goes pretty quickly if you have flashed roms before. Been running fast and stable for over 2 weeks now. Haven't tried any of the other Honeycomb roms so I can't compare for you.

On the Flashback 10.3 page is a copy of NVFlash that will flash you to the latest stock 1.2 build with CWM installed. From there make sure you read and follow ALL of the directions to install Flashback. For lots of useful (necessary) info about flashing roms and recovery Google search for "gtabfordummies".

Even if you have no coding experience at all, you can help. Testing is the easiest way to help. There are millions of lines of code and ways to set up these phones. Testing is the most important part of the development process. Without testers bugs will roam free. There are two separate major test categories, kernels and roms. Then minor testing such as mods/themes/etc. Kernels are the brains of the phone. Roms is the body. Both need to be tested and both need to be improved. When you test please do more than just quadrant. Make specific repeatable comments that will help some one fix the issue. Thanks and happy testing

No need. I actually know how to install a 64 bit operating system. Lol. Im slowly working on it. Its not a bootloader problem. Motorolas official engineering phones with real unlocked factory bootloaders dont have 4g. So obviously we gotta look elsewhere. Its possibly recovery related or some form of security check. Once we find exactly what it we can fix it. The best way is to dd everything. Like dd / lol. Once with stock, then after unlock only then recovey change. Once all three is pulled. Someone needs to run a diff, or physically cross check everything, eek. Once the culprit is found we will squash it. so obviously you can see this will be time consuming. Way more time then I ever get. I would have to take a vacation just to get that kind of time. I can do the squashing after the fact but atm im stuck trying to blindly fix it

A bfs 400+ patch for 2.6.32.9 would be awesome, so would proper autogroups. Post findings here.
