[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
LOL.

hes right tho. the zoom is only cropping a picture so it makes it less quality

I've owned alot of android devices over the past years and they all had zoom 'cept the Xperia but I quickly realized it's not a feature that is "good" it's one I never use because you are just making the camera worse :eek:
[Xperia Play General] XperianceIT:
LOL, thats classic!

the OP must be a new Xperia Play owner, cause that was the first thing i learned about our phones, followed by.... "CRAP, i cant unlock my Bootloader! WTF, i have to pay!?!....." lol
[Xperia Play General] Haxzer:
Its also true that teh zoom function is pretty useless.. ruins quality, actually, just ****s it up so you dont see anything.. Im glad it don't have zoom
[Xperia Play General] Clienterror:
All "zoom" is on any phone is digital zoom. Digital zoom is another word for "crop" take your already semi crappy pic with your play, put it in photo shop crop it, blow it up and volia you have an even ****tier image blown up with "zoom". I'm guessing you also think the more mega pixles a camera has is better image quality as well huh?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
Most people are unaware of the differences between digital and optical zoom, or lens diameter vs megapixels. It is our job as the experienced ones to educate the newbies.

What software do I need so I can use fastboot cmds? or is it ADB?

I'm wanting to load a ROM =)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
did you follow the directions to unlock your bootloader? if so, you already have all the tools you need
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MazinDLX:
I was on a wind0ze box..

I am running gentoo only now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
You also need eclipse to flash hboots and at least 3 ubuntus to compile and flash baksmalis.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MazinDLX:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
At least 3. Do you alreadiy have a flash-resistant USB cable?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MazinDLX:
I just want to install the ROM... I dont understand where it got so complicated??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
lol, KX

OP, just set up ADB SDK for linux...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aZuZu:
no u need 2 ubuntu distros first to use compiler and compile 16 bit kernel then ubuntu 64 bit to make 32 arm kernel then u need again 32 bit linux, altho ubuntu is bit buggy for diff byte calc. but you can try so you need do diff on both kernels and diff apply to 16 bit kernel to get 18 bit kernel.

or

or you could use fastboot flash tool to flash new kernel or rom to your device...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Chumby, this is a dual core phone, so you have to diff twice for 36 bit.

Now when I try to get ADB or Fastboot going, It says permission denied.

But if I try to start Fastboot or ADB in SU/Root it says command not found.

WTF?

Once again, I'm on the newest Gentoo && 3.1.6 Custom Kernel.

Thanks for your time.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
sudo ./adb devices

you either have to be in the same directory as the adb binary or you need to have platform tools in your PATH. if you added your PATH, you need to log out and log back in or reboot it

or restart bash....i prefer the log out
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MazinDLX:
I don't know what the PATH is so i'm assuming I didn't add it.

Care to explain ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MazinDLX:
Do I need to add my root/su account to a certain profile?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluenote73:
Hey guys

I'm embarassed to admit that I have to ask this -

My XOOM has a failsafe force-reboot function that works whether the tablet is working or not. [actually, I never need to use it, but I had a faulty one previously that I did need to use and it was very convenient].

Does the G2X have the same ability? If for some reason it is unresponsive [whatever reason] is there a power-vol combo to force a reboot?

I see battery pull mentioned here a lot so this is where I get the impression that there isn't a force-reboot method.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
Volume up + power is hard reboot. Hold it until you see LG logo. This doesn't work 100% of the time, but most of the time it does.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
I think he wants to know if the phone is on and not responding, can a force reboot be done without pulling the battery. Pulling the battery is the only way I know of.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
If the phone is not responding, the only way I would know of other than pulling the battery would be to hold volume down and the power button at the same time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Intelmaster90:
Hey guys,

today i got my transformer prime. After the succesfull update to ICS ....11. a camera firmwareupdate was detected.. i downloaded it and installed it... after a restart i stuck @ the bootscreen and cannot go out of it. dont know how to do a fully System reset where i can install on of the updates which i can download from the support site from asus.. Pleas help me. otherwise i have to send my device back to amazon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
My input-

On the next boot, hold volume down.

Tiny text appears, release volume down.

When icons show up, choose factory reset via volume down then volume up.

Hope for the best.

I'd wait to see if anyone else has a solution. I think I've seen this before in another discussion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Intelmaster90:
I have already tried that but it does not help. I have send it back to amazon for fixing it.... I need a full reset where i can flash the completly rom... something like CWM but we are not having it yet cause of the ****ing bootloader...
[HTC Sensation] sisquoc15:
Just bought a Sensation 4G (T-Mo) and I have some general questions.

Background - I have had several android phones and flashed many a ROM.

1) Anything special about the T-mo Variant or do I just follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

2) Any suggestions for a rock solid ROM? I value stability and function over bells and whistles.

Anything else I should be thinking about?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
for number one... Yes I followed that same instructions...

I use insertcoin 3.4.4 at this time... Yes gingerbread still :).. Its pretty much stable and I can say, on my 3 months experience with the rom; its bug free.... I flash shnizlon version of Beats (ver 4 I think) and its awesome... I flashed an overclocked stock kernel also by sebastianFM (1.5 GHz, 300 MHz 3d, 227 MHz 2d).

1. Its a good thread to follow

2. Android revolution 3.x or 4.x ARHD by mike1986

3.x is 2.3.4 which is official base so its solid and everything works great plus battery life is greatly improved over the software that came with the phone.

4.x is also good. ts 2.3.5 which is technically beta but has been around for a while.

2.3.4 includes Sense 3.0

2.3.5 includes Sense 3.5

Virtuous has always made rock solid 2.3.4 roms.:
[HTC Sensation] SonicMZ:
I have been using Sensation for a while and tested GB and ICS on the device. I can surely tell that ICS didn't work for me as it has too many bugs still, so I returned to GB, particularly to ARHD 4.1.1 which works really well.

[Kindle Fire General] upriverpaddler:
I rooted my KF on a desktop PC and was always able to plug it in and have it show as a drive, before and after.

Now I'm plugging it into a laptop and the KF wouldn't go into "drive mode". I installed the adb driver and now the KF goes into "drive mode", but doesn't show up in "My Computer". What am I missing?
[Kindle Fire General] wcastillosalva:
Maybe is a OS isue, try to install another device

If you culdn`t get working then definetly is a os isue
[Kindle Fire General] Fireblend:
Right click My Computer, choose Manage and go to the Device Manager screen; locate your KF and see if its icon shows a yellow alert (!) symbol. If it does, try installing the drivers by right clicking the icon, choosing "Update Drivers" and letting Windows download them for you. If you see the icon and tried to have Windows download them but it failed, try downloading KFU and installing the drivers that come with it.

If you still have issues and can't resolve this, however, (and as a quick solution) I recommend you install Airdroid, which is a pretty damn cool app on its own right, and lets you download/upload files to your KF through your local Wi-Fi network, among many other things.

Hope that helps, good luck!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Syzergy:
I just downgraded from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 and rooted my new incredible 2 using Revolution. The Signal bar at the top is displaying 0-2 bars at a time. Never over 2. I downloaded an app to see what was up and its saying I have 65%-75% signal strength which should be at least 3 bars.

I am able to call and txt without any problems in service so i want to know why its only displaying 2 bars when i should have 3 or 4? Wifi strength is at maximum which is normal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Try *228 option 2. Update your prl, and see if that helps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Syzergy:
I tried calling that number and my # pad will not open. It just has the "speaker" option. I just loaded MIUI and all other calls bring up the # pad. I also cannot find where to update my PRL.

EDIT: After some research my PRL is 52644 which I believe is the most recent. My signal strength is showing -88 dBm
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
That option is hosting your prl.

If in MIUI, dial *228, and when it asks you what option, hold the menu key to pull up the keyboard and then select the number 2 on the keyboard.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Syzergy:
okay called the number and it successfully updated it said. im still only getting 1-2 bars at a time.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Syzergy:
Im not looking for a new ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
OP - simply stating you are getting at best 1 to 2 bar is meaningless, really - without giving more specifics.

Might I suggest that you post your updated hardware & software info - pulled from "About Phone" under "Settings" - especially your Software number, Baseband (radio) and Kernel verision. For reference evaluation purposes, what is your Signal strength when you are outdoor and indoor, measured in -xx dBm as you stated in that Signal strength not working properly after rooting?

There are different possibilities or reasons to help explain your concern, including residual settings or data not wiped clean on the ROM being used, causing it to hang or becoming sluggish or whatever.

If you insist on not using a different ROM, your options could be limited or non-existent. ;) It's best to keep an open mind since you opted to downgrade and root whatever ROM you're on. Otherwise, you might as well contact big Red's Tech Support, YMMV - of course. :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobshute:
Below I have a screenshot of the home page of my NookColor. I'm running CM9 with the Trebuchet launcher.

I like the layout with the apps icon in the top right, search icon top left, statusbar at the bottom with ICS soft buttons and no dock.

Somehow both Trebuchet and Nova launchers know if they are being installed on a tablet vs a phone. I would like to spoof the launcher to give me the Tablet UI on my phone and see if I like it.

Any clues of where the launchers determine which Ui to use? Build prop maybe?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] firefly6240:
There are tablet preferences in the frameworks apk.

In a XML file named Bools

res/values/bools.xml

I'm actually trying to get the soft buttons enabled on my phone without the other tablet options enabled but for some reason when I enable the soft buttons it also enables the tablet layout lol.

Tablet layout on the phone does look a bit different than the layout on the nook though.

Looking through the Nook CM9 rom there is no Frameworks.apk. there is a frameworks-res.apk but no /res/values in it. IDK......

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobshute:
Thanks again.

The guide was in chinese or something so I couldn't figure what he did so I downloaded the CM9 version. It's a services.jar and build.prop. Pushed the services.jar alone but it didn't change, changed the lcd density to 160, no change. So I figured I'd try his NS build.prop unmodified and went into a bootloop. I guess I need to figure out what changes I need to make in my current build.prop.

Oh well..I'll probably hate it once it's on my phone anyway..lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bobshute:
Got it to work by pushing the service.jar only and changing lcd density to 120 in vibrant build prop. everything is small, pics below is with font set to huge.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reedddd:
Hi,

I'm using a LG Optimus One right now and I'm looking to upgrade to the atrix.

I'm temporarily in the US and have found a really good deal on a used Atrix so I'm really tempted, however I've still got some questions:

1. Is the atrix able to run all games (even the dual-core ones) when it's running on stock rom?

2. Do you think it's worth for me to spend about 100 $ more to get a newer phone like the HTC Sensation? (I mean I'm not sure how big the difference between this two would be, and the atrix even has more ram)

3. How good does the fingerprint sensor work? It sounds really cool in theory but how good is it really?

4. Do you think in terms of overall experience (speed, smoothness of scrolling) the atrix is comparable to the iPhone 4?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I want to be able to ocassionally do stuff on my phone with one hand? This is possible on smaller screens like my Optimus One but is it possible on the atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lur3nj14:
I haven't had a lot of gaming experience (at least on the phone), but all the games I've tried that are compatible from the Market runs pretty smoothly on the Atrix.

To answer your question about the fingerprint sensor, it works quite well as an unlock safety mechanism, for me at least. Especially with the volume button unlock mod, and if you are willing, on custom roms that greatly reduced the lag that stock rom has for unlocking with finger swipe.

Other people also have luck in utilizing the sensor as a trackball during navigation or text selection.

As for one hand usage, I use the phone mostly with just one hand, and I'm even using swype exclusively to type. To me it's perfectly comfortable and I feel like it wouldn't be so if the phone was any bigger.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Here's what I think:

Q. Is the atrix able to run all games (even the dual-core ones) when it's running on stock rom?

A: So far I've been able to play everything I've thrown at it (stock or not), even the latest and greatest games. And if you mean dual-core games as Tegra games, of course it can play them, the Atrix is a Tegra 2 phone.

Q. Do you think it's worth for me to spend about 100 $ more to get a newer phone like the HTC Sensation? (I mean I'm not sure how big the difference between this two would be, and the atrix even has more ram)

A: You preatty much have it sorted out, I personally wouldn't go for the Sensation (or any other dual-core at the moment), in that case I would wait a bit longer to get a Tegra 3 phone.

Q. How good does the fingerprint sensor work? It sounds really cool in theory but how good is it really?

A: For me it's been a really great and useful feature since I track my car and control many of it's features (locks, alarm, etc) and also control several video survelliance cameras right from the Atrix, so the FP is a must for me.

Q. Do you think in terms of overall experience (speed, smoothness of scrolling) the atrix is comparable to the iPhone 4?

A: I consider the Atrix far superior than the iPhone 4 (this has been discussed over and over). I can list the features but it will get very lenghty. I will just mention a few:

1. Atrix is a 1 Ghz (overclockable) Dual-Core nVidia powered device. IPhone 4 is an 800 single core.

2. Removable (longer lasting) battery. The iphone's battery doesn't perform very well at all.

3. Android OS, subjective I know, but I rather have complete control of the OS since it's MY phone.

4. More RAM. Very important for performance.

5. Webtop and real HDMI output

Q: I want to be able to ocassionally do stuff on my phone with one hand? This is possible on smaller screens like my Optimus One but is it possible on the atrix?

A: Of course, I always install two different Keyboard layouts, Swift X Pro for two thumb typing, and Swype for one hand typing.
