[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
The Sensation will be a year old 4 months, the Amaze is pretty new for all the devolopment it has. It will get better over here once we get CM fully working and ICS rolling. The Amaze also is more future proof with HTC updating it and has a much better camera. the RAM helps a lot too, that was one thing that bugged me about mine. i hated only have about 120mb of ram with just fb open or something
[HTC Amaze 4G] rickyiswhite:
Ahh ok I'm deff gonna get the amaze then.. and what do you guys mean by bleeding? And yeah xboarder I liked your roms a lot when I had my G2, one of the most stable roms so ill deffinetley try yours firste when I get it :p my only thing is on the T-Mobile sit it didn't say anything about the Amaze having hotspot?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mapleleafs89:
The capacitive buttons underneath the screen (home, menu, back, and search) when they light up the bottom of the screen is noticably brighter. So if you have a black screen and the buttons are lit up then for an inch or so at the bottom it will gradient from a lighter shade to actual black. There are some pictures in a thread called screen bleeding on the second or third page of this forum that show it.

I just downloaded Screen Filter which disables the light to the buttons like the previous poster mentioned which stops the screen bleeding.

And yea get the Amaze for sure, best phone I've had. Battery is a little lacking but with this ROM + perhaps an AceSoft battery (2 for $30) you may get decent life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
The amaze is a better phone to the sensation in every I can't use my amaze right now and I'm using the sensation and I hate after using the amaze even with ics the amaze is just smoother and a better phone. The camera, processor speed, data speeds, build quality, front cam, storage, nfc, and battery for me are all better then the amaze. The only advantage of the sensation is that it has more roms but x here does some great stuff and slowly more devs may get this phone as its still a pretty spendy device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tcoots:
Mt friend got a Sensation and we noticed the Mic was not working well. Sound quality on voice calls were noticably bad. Maybe it was specific to that unit, idk?

My Amaze doesn't have that problem or any others for that matter.

Just short battery life!

Other than that, it is hands down the best smart phone I've had yet, it actually does everything, simultaneously.

I stream music, surf and make/receive calls or use Google nav., all at the same time. With little or no hiccups.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gustav30:
I'm thinking of switching to an Amaze. Does it have a bitrate selector for 720p video? (I'm not too interested in 1080p video at this time.)

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lozone:
I'm thinking about getting an Amaze.

I have been plagued with the dust issue on the Sensation.

I am only unsure because of the lack of development.

But there are many familiar faces here.

The sensation is a fantastic phone, the Amaze is just newer and better, doesnt mean the Sensation is crap, youd be pretty happy with either

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josh62:
I have been working on an android game using opengl es 1. I need to implement a button for users to press for player motion and shooting. Currently i am drawing a couple of textured quads on the screen and using the onTouchEvent. If the x,y coordinates are on the button it is pressed. I set the booleans to true on ACTION_DOWN or ACTION_POINTER_DOWN, and set them to false on ACTION_UP or ACTION_POINTER_UP, But I don't know how to use the pointerIds properly and match them with the right fingers while using multitouch. Can someone please help me understand how to use the onTouchEvent properly for buttons in opengl. Thanks in advance.

Is there a case out there that doesnt add alot of bulk and can be used with a holster such as the Seidio Active case that also has plugs/covers for the plugs and ports such as the Otterbox Defender Case for our phones?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shorty87:
Take a look at this Body Glove case from T-Mobile. I have the case and it doesn't add as much bulk as the Seidio Active. And it has an option to put on a belt clip or a piece to plug up that hole.

had a body glove case for my previous phone, dropped it once and the case flew off. I then told myself i'd never buy one again. I even read a review for the same case that you suggested. The person said it flew off after being dropped just like the one for my previous phone did.

and now i am stuck at the dual core technology screen.....

Help Please!!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
Use fastboot to flash the recovery image then flash root package/custom rom.

We have to wait for CM9. And considering that ICS changes a lot of things such as how it interacts with the camera, the old drivers for some of our hardware aren't going to work unless they are able to port some stuff from other, similar phones. I wouldn't hold my breath for a 100% ICS ROM any time soon.
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
thanx a ton....its a big step towards venue android development

some question i have...

is mounting of data, cache working and wiping data cache etc and the advance feature like partion sd card etc working ?
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
how to boot into cwm? i flashed it through fastboot but cant boot in this cwm...

whats the procedure? i tried mute+vol up+vol dwn+power and mute+vol dwn

edit: got it
[Dell Venue] MJW:
How did you do it?
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
You switch mute to OFF hold both volume buttons down and power on. You will see a menu with 3 options, choose the one to upgrage SW package and choose with the camera button.
[Dell Venue] MJW:
That did the trick, thanks! I was expecting the stock menu to be replaced, not for CWM to become a submenu.
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
Cool. Glad to help :)
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
For those on ROMs that do not have the stock recovery available - will we be able to extract the recovery somehow now that we have CWM if we need/want to go back to stock?

Edit: I see that the zip file for my BB (307) from this thread contains the recovery.img. Can that recovery.img be flashed with fastboot to revert to the stock recovery?
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
Yes, I am pretty sure stock recovery image file will revert you to stock (with the appropriate .pkg file if available).
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
My question is will that recovery.img, extracted from the zip, work with fastboot? This would be used if there is a problem with the Venue (mine is still under warranty).

There is no .pkg file for the 307 ROM that I am aware of.
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
I see, sorry I misunderstood the question. I have flashed the .img files for 307 from the zip file via fastboot before and it worked fine.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
The recs in the stock image thread are the actual recoveries for that rom.

Those were all dumped manually, this is the first of any custom recovery that i've made available, publicly or privately
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
I have installed this and am playing with it.

I can say that not even a battery pull will stop the factory reset from the first screen if you choose it by accident and there is no prompt to continue. You can probably figure out how I know this. :eek:

I did get this error:

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

When selecting to wipe dalvik cache.

And when viewing the log I got a bunch of lines that said:

failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory

I did a wipe data/factory reset from the first CWM screen. My Venue booted fine afterwards. The output is attached below.

Tested with no apparent ill effects:

first CWM screen:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

advanced screen:

wipe Dalvik cache (see error note above)

wipe battery stats

Key Test

Show Log

Fix permissions (takes a bit, be patient)

Reboot recovery just does a normal reboot unless you hold both volume buttons.

Doing a factory reset from the first screen did not remove CWM and did not remove root.

Problem: Backup and restore sat on "Backing up data..." for quite a while. The first time I did a battery pull after a few minutes and tried again. The second time I let it sit for about 12 minutes and it never moved off of "Backing up data...". What should happen when it completes a nandroid? Does it take longer than this?
[Dell Venue] MJW:
I get the same results across the board (except factory wipe - wasn't going there). I also get the same dalvik wipe error on my Viewsonic GTab, nothing to worry about.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
That's a known (non)issue, sd-ext is what data2ext uses as it's partition, it's also known as perfmod on the s5. As the venue has no data2ext/perfmod it's not relevent

that files does not exist in the venue's kernel, /dev /proc and /sys are generated at bootup by the kernel, the contents are determined by what's turned on/off in the kernel. /sys/class/android_usb simply does not exist in the kernel (I used the 408 recovery kernal btw)

The most I can do is try and surpress it, but that's only debug lines in the log, usb mounting works for me so it's not critical

Root always copies over /system/(x)bin/su and that cant be removed by a fac reset.

Fac reset only wipes /cache and /data

Unlike streakmod on the s5 though, you should be able to trust the fac reset in CWM5.5

It's always safe to pull the batt during nandroid READS but never writes. What is the exact step it stops at? I've had some issue with nandroids in the unreleased 5.0.2.7 but I thought it was fixed in 5.5.0.x.

If there are any nandroid issues it's likely in CWM itself as I havnt modified CWM at all while compiling any of the CWMs

The nandroids are not perfect yet regardless, I'd recommend rooting and using titanium backup (or whatever you prefer) on top of nandroids till there's more reports of success/issues
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
See the attached image. It gets to "Backing up data..." and then just sits there and never completes.

Edit: the image is from the first attempt. It stopped at the same spot on two other attempts.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Does it start backing up at all or immediately stops right as it hits data?

if it's the 'lost+found' bug it should stop after hitting it hits the 'lost+found' folder and have some of the contents of data
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
We probably cross posted, I added an image of exactly where it stuck.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
It might an issue in CWM 5.5 then

S5:

cannot back up userdata partition (/firstboot)

can back up innerSD data partition (/data)

v:

cannot back up userdata partition (/data)

They're both the partitions on the nand itself, the s5 one just happens to be smaller.

For the same reason I'm not yet releasing CWM 5.5 for the s5, a fac reset might fix it so you can make nandroids afterwards (if you restore with TB afterwards it may still continue working). It SEEMS to work for me but that would mostly defeat the purpose of nandroids.
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
Those first tests were immediately after a factory reset. I am sure you are aware of the work on StreakMod Recovery and might want to see what was done to fix nandroids on that. That is the one feature of CWM I would like to see as solid.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
I'm gonna keep investigating later, but currently CWM's primary purpose is to provide a reliable way to root.

For the S7 HC which launched with CWM 4.0 nandroid was completely broken (but this was to it being compiled with the wrong settings and not cwm) and it still served it's purpose for flashing zips.

For now it's gonna be:

If you can sucessfully back up: it should be a good nandroid

If you cant: then not much has changed, except you can flash zips now.

I'll update the OP with this issue
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
can we make theme through uot and flash it via this cwm?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Yes, as long as the theme is made properly (or else you may get a boot loop). Also make sure it's set to use edify scripting (this is the default option, so normally you will not need to worry about it)

Strangely I cannot reproduce the nandroid bug consistantly. I have encountered it and bypassed it by doing a fac reset (I cannot remember if it's via the CWM one or the bootloader one)

Currently backing up fine.

It is likely the same issue as on the S5, I have not had the chance to try seeing if a fac reset will fix it.

It also seems to be a case of all or nothing, as it will always work consistantly or fail consistantly once some unknown threshold is crossed.
[Dell Venue] kakagi:
hey thanks! :) going to try it now!
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Can I flash this on my stock 325 ROM (froyo not rooted)?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Yes, if you wouldnt mind afterwards could you send me your boot and image.img from 325? I dont have that
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Yes, I am very much willing...

Just want to ask how can I save the boot and image img. after I rooted it using your method (the superuser.zip) on the other thread?

Thanks in advance!

Edit:

Finally, I rooted my stock froyo 325 ROM. Thanks to TheManii for this great Job!

Now, saving boot.img and image.img?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Install CWM and make a nandroid with it, as it apparently has issues saving the data portion it might not finish but it should save boot and system regardless.
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Finally, I got these files after doing a nandroid backup:

boot.img

recovery.img

system.yaffs2.img

I will upload these later at 4shared.com and give you the links.

Finally, a 325 ROM! :)
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
Uploaded the 325 Stock ROM at dropbox. Here's the link...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55685290/Dell Rom 325.zip
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Thanks! that's the last dump i'm missing now and I assume it's also a good dump that you didnt modify right? (Besides simply rooting it)

I'm gonna prepare it and turn it into a stock image like the previous ones, and possibly into a deodexed one like I had prepared earlier for 408
[Dell Venue] arnelgiga:
After installing your CWM, then apply the rooting you thought us on the other thread using your superuser.zip, I did a nandroid backup. When stucked at backing up the DATA, I rebooted and copy those files. So, I assumed its a clean and unmodified one.

Can't wait for the deodexed one...
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
I have a habit of wiping the cache and dalvik cache before making nandroids (always have done it this way with StreakMod Recovery on the Streak). I booted into recovery to get the info for the version numbers thread and decided to try a nandroid again. I started a nandroid without wiping cache and dalvik cache and it completed successfully. I have no idea why NOT wiping those first has an effect but, for me, it did.
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
Just as on the Streak the file install-recovery.sh has to be renamed or deleted to prevent CWM from being overwritten on boot by the stock recovery. More info.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Strange enough it almost feels like CWM isnt backing up the dalvik cache at all, some of my nandroids straight up dont work because it bootloops if it requires a rebuild of the dalvik caches.

Also, not all stock roms have a install-recovery.sh, if they were installed at the factory with QDL tool or anything BUT the pkg that script isnt carried over. None of the pre-installed roms have it on the venue.

It's usually seen on preinstalled streaks that have the pkg also available as a pkg, but not on like 347 which isnt available as a pkg
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
On 307 I had no problem with CWM being overwritten, but on 325 (installed with the package file) I did and had to rename install-recovery.sh and re-flash CWM. Not a big deal and I knew from experience with the Streak what the likely cause was.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
That's because you installed it via a pkg file, that's usually the only time install-recovery.sh is included
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
Update on using this.

When I try to flash a zip it is not found if the zip is in the root of my sd card, but has no issue if the zip is in a folder.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
I cant replicate, updates on the root of the card more or less work for me.
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
It was not an update it was a file from the UOT kitchen I has this issue with.

I'll do pics later and post them.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Made a new build, looking for testers that are having issue with nandroids:

5.5.0.4 v2 beta 1.img
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
Thanx! I will give a go tonight and post about it tomorrow! :)
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
cw kept getting stuck at data during backup. I stumbled upon the solution while navigating cw menus. For some reason when you first boot into cw, it mounts the cache partition. this prevents from completing backup. Under mounts and storage, unmount cache first then do a backup. it goes all the way through!:D
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Can anyone else confirm/deny that this is the reason? I could simply hack CWM to not use cache, but that would be a bad idea in the long term (but having reliably working nandroids is more important)
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
Seems like no one else has done it. I went ahead and tried it 4 times with cache mounted and unmounted and same thing. maybe it hangs because dell points to a different location for cache?:confused:

[Dell Venue] marvin02:

Updated CWM to 6.0.0.1!

Confirmed working:

Nandroids

USB mounting

Fac resetting

Unforunately we need a working ICS kernel to get CWM-touch, and we dont currently have one.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
There will be an update to 6.0.0.5 (or whatever is newest) in a couple days.

Edit: CWM 6.0.0.6 is now live.

I have only explictly tested against 6.0.0.5, as koush is pushing out an update every other hour.

(we went from 6.0.0.2 -> 6.0.0.6 in the course of a day)

Everything seems to work in 6.0.0.5, and I assume will too in 6.0.0.6.

If there are any issues, please provide me with a copy of /cache/recovery/log and last_log.

(You may need to be rooted to access those)

[Dell Venue] stackz07:
does this work for dell venue 7 ? i don't see it in the OP

model: T01C
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
No it does not, it is only for the original venue phone.

If i had access to a V7/V8 I could port CWM over (if it isnt already, and if there arn't any unusual difficulties in porting it)
[Dell Venue] petewr:
The phone and the tablets seem to be two completely separate intities. Not sure what the phone uses for a cpu, but the tablet is using a dual core intel Atom processor. Most of the CWM and TWRP recoveries are based on the ARM processor.:eek:

Will this constitute a difficulty for porting to the Venue 7/8?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
The S5/V both used a S1 snapdragons, the V7/V8 use cloverview atoms.

There isnt much in the way of assembly code in the recovery code (there might not be any at all, but I havn't gone though all of it to confirm), as long as a device can both:

boot abritrary kernels (ie the bootloader isn't locked down, which isn't an issue with dell devices)

doesn't use filesystems that are not natively supported in cwm/twrp (which dells do not use)

the platform a device uses doesnt matter, you can generally port a rec to it.

It should only take an hour or 3 to port, and some more time after that to bugcheck a recovery to a new device if it fulfills both criteria.
[Dell Venue] petewr:
YOU may be able to port a rec to it, but I seem to be all thumbs when it come to the coding. Heck, I cannot even root my 7.

Which is kinda strange because I rooted and installed all the way up to KitKat on my B&N Nook Tablet 16Gb. Been running CM10 and 11 on it for a year and 5 months now. Plus I built and ran a Hackintosh with MacOS-X 10.6.8 64 bit for the last two years. Don't know why I can't do this little beastie. Maybe I am trying too hard and need to back away for a little while.
[Dell Venue] social-design-concepts:
the biggest issue that the Dell Venue 7 / 8 Intel clover-trail plus devices have is the SFI (simple firmware interface) images have to have a proper bootstub for the OSIP slot they are being loaded to (only released for the dev-edition Venue 8 boot.img only) and be "stitched" for flashing to the OSIP protected header where boot, recovery, fastboot are loaded from then the issue becomes that even after that the device wont load the image if the pass-phrase that it was signed with during the "stitching" process doesn't match the pass-phrase loaded into the OSIP header.

then comes needing the recovery code to leverage the Venue 7 / 8 update-binary to dump and flash the boot, recovery, fastboot images. I've made progress on a semi-working recovery but it cant be booted off the device do to the pass-phrase issue. Currently i live load it in droidboot with my root exploit the crash droidboot service then force it to load the recovery service in place of droidboot / fastboot service.

maybe [MENTION=3289998]TheManii[/MENTION] might know of away to work around the pass-phrase issue? i know my images flash correctly because i dump them extract and check so i can write the osip but the pass-phrase prevents booting them.
[Dell Venue] petewr:
Working my way through the MyKit stuff right now too. Trying to come up with root, so I can use Titanium and some other apps that use Root.
[Dell Venue] blazzer12:
Which devices can use this recovery? Can Dell Venue 3730 use it?

You gave instructions for flashing recovery but I have these questions:

1. What do you mean set the ringer in up position?

2. At which step do you connect the USB wire?

Sorry for the noob questions but really confused!
[Dell Venue] indiacam:
