Because i bricked my gio some time ago and it was not booting to any mode, just this mdl factory download mode holding down all hard keys, and odin didnt recognize it.

It does. Why else would you need download mode?

I just purchased a Pogoplug because Arch Linux can be installed on it. It looks to be a cheap server when duly modified.

I was wondering if Arch Linux could be installed on the A500?

http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3

Debian can also be installed on the Pogoplug so I assume it can be on the A500.

I know nothing about Linux and this will be my first trial and error install.

But hey for A $16 MEDIA SERVER WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE?

Thank You
[Acer Iconia A500] jliedeka:
You would, of course, have to build an image of the OS as a ROM. I think there are other Linux on Iconia projects. Not sure about driver support.

I'm a big fan of Arch on my net book and desktop. It wouldn't be my choice for a tablet. I think of Arch in terms of its rolling release cycle. You would probably need to pick a point in time and build a ROM. If you could automate the ROM build from some sort of Arch virtual machine, it might be feasable.

Looking for a app for playing videos from my windows server. I watch a lot of foreign movies so need subtitles support. Something like the gtvplayer.

Any ideas?

There are a thousand different players on the market but I don't see any that support playing from a network share.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Take a look at this thread.. I do not know about the sub titles.. but there are several apps mentioned here that do exactly what you are asking for.. ITS Called dlna server.. i use the aVIA one but bubble has much more options.. of course you have to turn dlna on .on the windows box(windows media center) or download a dlna server app for windows machine..

BSPlayer.It's free and supports direct streaming without caching the whole file on your device. Buzz player also supports streaming samba shares but it's quite buggy to my experience and it's not free.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
that is true es file explorer has a media player that will stream as well But can lag at times.. there are others that do the same im sure..
[Acer Iconia A500] johnciaccio:
]thanks for the replies. I do not want to use a DNLA server so I'll try some of the other suggestions.
[Acer Iconia A500] toddroid:
Almost any File Explorer should do the trick. I have used the following:

ES File Explorer

File Manager HD (Honeycomb)

ASTRO File Manager

You can navigate to your network share. When you go to open the file, you will be prompted which Media Player you would like to use. So, as long as you have a media player that supports your media, you should be good to go.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Ok this thread brings up a question i have. And maybe something the op should consider . DLNA apps such as bubble aVIA.. they allow you to select where to RENDER THE VIDEO . this can make the video much more smooth if you choose to render on the PC FILE SHARE SERVER.. not the tablet.

playing the video from a file manager .. just opens the video as a network share playing the video on the tablet with the tablets resources...

my Question is.. are the above situations true.. If so DLNA would be faster more smooth and use far less battery on the tablet.. I believe it to be true because playing a video out from tablet thru hdmi cable eats battery .Using dlna is less taxing on the tablet..

splashtop could also be a answer to the above.. as i have played media thru it.

PLEASE if im wrong explain. thank you all Sorry to invade your thread OP. BUT ITS kinda related
[Acer Iconia A500] smishra:

I use File Manager HD with rocket player and access my network share directly with no DLNA.

I am not sure about subtitle support as I dont recall seeing them even though the .srt files are there.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

Interesting point Erica, I am going to test that out. I have not jumped on the DLNA bandwagon yet just because all my files are on the same network but could see some benefits if I am coming in remotely.
[Acer Iconia A500] deboyz1014:
ES File Explorer

MX Player

A500 - play without any stutter

Nook Color - required that I copy and paste the file onto local drive, wait 1 min then play without stutter.

Since this is an A500 site, the above method should work without issue...though subtitle is a hit or miss.
[Acer Iconia A500] johnciaccio:
thanks all for the replies. I have been using bs player now.

As for battery usage through dlna rendering on the PC:

It converts the video on the PC to something the target device can play. There for unless it is rendering it into a format the target player can play with full hardware decoding you would not get any benefit from transcoding on the PC. Plus depending on the profile used it may render the video down to a lower quality.

Dlna can also do pass through in which case no transcoding is done at all.

Dlna is great if you do not want to worry about codec support on your target devices and battery usage will only be lower if the profile for hardware rendering is available on your DNLA server.

I hope all that makes sense to everyone. :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Makes perfect sense..

Im not big in video playing on my tablet. I just know those options are there.. I Can understand a reduction of the Quality from the desktop pc resolution to that of the tablet.. We have a 28 inch monitor set very very high. As i do digital drawing with CS5. Using my WACOM INTUOS 4 PEN Tablet.. yes a plug here for them. The thing ROCKS. if you are into digital drawing.

Anyway I just do know that using dlna for me uses much less battery. Try starting your GPS'WEB BROWSER and say running a few other apps in the background of your tab.. Launch a video thru file manager network share.. YOU Will see your battery DRAIN VERY Quickly.. Do the same thing but dlna .. IT WILL Last much longer...

This could actaully be tested with a network traffic or data monitoring app. to see what is going on in the background under each situation...

THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS . There is no perfect solution... thanks for hearing me try to be Smart.. i am blonde remember .. Giggles BUY WACOM TABLET. HEHEHHE
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Just a quick note - file managers, mx video player, rockplayer etc. need to cache the file locally and do not support streaming. BSPlayer and Buzz player would start playback immediately without downloading the video on your tab. DLNA is a nice options as well but I don't know if there are free ones available or at least such that support multiformat transcoding and external subtitles.

Apparently I am wrong:

http://www.serviio.org/features

:-)
[Acer Iconia A500] smishra:
I do not think this is correct. I have watched full length movies on my tab (>1Gb) using a combination of File Manager HD (Or ES File Explorer) and Rock Player and the playback starts immediately. I dont think it is being streamed, just opened and played directly as if it were a local file.
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Thanks smishra, then it must be RockPlayer's feature. Haven't been using it for a long time because it didn't support Tegra2 HW acceleration at that time. Just tried MX Video Player and it works as well so streaming is obviously implemented. Sorry if I have misled someone. I don't think file managers play the movie, so it doesn't matter which one you use as long as your player supports streaming.

I use MX Player, browse to the share using the HoneyComb file manager, then when I get to the share open the file and choose MX Player (Install from market first with MX Player codec for ARMv7). It even supports mkvs!
[Acer Iconia A500] mr_malina:
"Cifsmanage" allows you to mount a windows share as a local folder. Once you mount it you can use any video player to access the files. You must be rooted but it works good.
[Acer Iconia A500] smishra:
Good point, I just noticed in my Rock player that it wants you to specify the location of the subtitle files. I normally keep these in the same folder as the videos so the only way that I can think of to access them would be to mount using CIFS and then play the video from there with subtitles.
[HTC Sensation] Recovere:
I've been wondering if it would be possible (I have no idea if this has been suggested here or not) for a company to make an alternate housing case for the sensation.

So you would have a case, but it would be incredibly form fitting and look really good? haha at least that's how I see it in my head.
[HTC Sensation] red12355:
That would be cool, but they would have to figure out the antenna and everything. Though I suppose that could solve the whole "death grip" thing in the process.

But if no company has done it already I doubt any would be motivated to do it this late in the Sensation's life.
[HTC Sensation] Recovere:
Very true.... Plus they would have to get permission from HTC to manufacture it.
[Droid X General] Erbid:
I have a DroidX with a replacement screen.

The proximity sensor has been overactive. It blanks the phone screen when I make a call no matter how far from my face it is. I see the proximity "radar" TX / RX are next to each other, and some kind of gasket is apparently missing to duct the light from the TX out of the phone so it can get reflected back to the sensor by a face, finger or whatnot exterior to the phone.

Since the two (TX and RX) are next to each other, the light just bounces off stuff in the phone and hits the RX... and poof. Out go the lights.

Does anyone have a dead DroidX that can spare the little rubber piece next to the speaker?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moonbloom:
This is what I did when I used WhatsApp on my Prime (Don't do it any more, but used to work fine).

Download & Set it up on your phone, so you can log in and chat etc etc (make sure everything works as its supposed to), then back it up with Titanium Backup, and transfer the files to your Prime, Titanium backup again to restore it, and voila.

I personally used Titanium Backup Dropbox sync to get the backup files from my phone to Dropbox, and then just manually downloaded them to my prime and put them in the right folder.

Would probably be good to do a reboot after you restored the app on your Prime, to make sure it's working as intended (:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SeaWaLK:
Exactly! I been using whatsapp on prime since I bought it. One thing though, if you receive msg on prime, you won't see it in your phone and vice versa. And when both devices are connected to net, you never know which device will get the msg. Totally random so far.

Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.

Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.

Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.

Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.

First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.

I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.

Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

(I am sorry, I miss-seen the question checkbox, I hope a moderator can solve this for me, thanks for understanding!)

Hello,

This is my first topic on xda-developers, so I'm willing to do my outerst best to make this as understandable as possible!

After four search results, I could not really find anything similar with a related answer so I'm making a topic about this.

I got the HTC Sensation XE, Android version: 2.3.4, with HTC Sense 3.0.

Now after rooting it using revolutionary, and enjoying my phone for the weeks after I noted that I got the abillity to do an update.

This update is a 8.97MB performance update, and I would love to install that!

Now here is the issue,

When trying to update, it downloads the update, it shuts down the phone and as soon as it starts installing I get the android boot error.

The phone starts up fine again, but the update is not installed.

I already tried to restore my phone to the state it was BEFORE I rooted it, but that still gave me the same result. I also tried to reset to factory settings, wich also did not work.

Does anyone have a clue where to proceed further?

Thanks in advance,

Tobie
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
I'm not too sure but when I used to have a Desire I had the exact sane issue, and it's actually down to the CID (Customer I.D)

If you do a few searches you should be able to find out how to get back to a stock CID. You cannot install OTA updates from HTC on rooted and custom Rom phones.

Restore your CID to HTC_0001 (I think) and it should work, can't remember though so Google about.
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
Also can I ask where in the world you are? Because in the UK the XE dies not have an update.
[HTC Sensation] Darkshade18:
Hey jaaystott,

Thanks for your quick reply, I tried a tutorial with Android Recovery manager.

it went smooth, and I'll be updating you if the update proceeds!

I am from The Netherlands, I didn't see the update untill I manually checked for it.

Thanks,

[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
It's okay, if the process doesn't work don't panic!

Your update is probably carrier specific then (unless your unbranded) but this update doesn't seem to be appearing in the UK.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Bullehr:
Hello!

About a year ago I lost my Milestone, just found it within the inside pockets of my jacket :doh:

I want to give it to my girlfriend as her X10 Mini pro is getting hardware defects and very limited in playing games and such. I noticed FroyoMod 2.6.0 running quite choppy on it, probably (partially) because of the nice UI and extra options. My question is: which ROM would be the best to have a smooth running phone, advanced layout features not required. Either 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 would be good. Preferably a stable ROM, of course.

Thanks in advance, Bullehr.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Regaddi:
Hi!

I am currentlz using HO!NO! Mod 7.1.5. But I replaced LauncherPro with GO Launcher Ex. I also used Supercharger Script, which frees some RAM :)

I was close enough to buy a new phone, but now I'm satisfied again ^^

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] [E]Xtreme:
Hi!

Since your girl friend doesn't play games usually, I suggest CM7.1.5. It's stable and smooth running. And Ho! No! 7.2.0 is another good choice. And I also suggest you to remove the 3d gallery and install Quickpic. If you can edit the SystemUI.apk and change the black status bar and scroll bar background into transparent will be better~

Have a nice day~
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rchacin:
Have you considered MIUI?

I'd been using CM7 form over six month on my Milestone (A853), but last month I decided to give a try to MIUI and was gladly surprised.

What kept me from changing before was the iPhone-like GUI, which I don't care about, however your gf may like it. On my case just switched back to GO Launcher.

MIUI Camera works just right. Also MIUI SMS and Phone applications are too similar to the ones I'd been using so I didn't even bother to replace them.

Overall my phone doesn't reboots itself anymore, and is fast and responsive.

Unless you gf is fluent in chinese, goto en.miui.com and select one of the variants. If english is your language then you may go US, UK or Scotland. I like US better cause it respects my Alarm+ (shows in status bar), and also has a 4-way reboot option I use.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Regaddi:
When I tried MIUI I also was surprised by its beautiness and smoothness, but it took like 1 day, and my MM began to reboot randomly and became stuck and inresponsive like hell...

I don't know exactly what happened there, but when I switched "back" to CM7 I was definately more satisfied with my phone again. I guess it might have something to do with all the MIUI-Apps (and there are a lot).

Just my experience.
