[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
I know our phones can do HDMI out through an MHL adapter, which I have and it works great, but I would like to know if they can do RCA out, the yellow, red, and white outputs. I want to hook it up to my car's touchscreen headunit which has those inputs, but obviously no HDMI. Do our phones have this capability using the usb or the 3.5 mm jack, like the original Galaxy S's, that I could use? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I don't think so... There's a slight tiny possibility the headphone jack can do tvout, but there are no controls for it in Settings on any GSII - it probably isn't working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
Thanks Entropy. Yea since there isn't anything in the settings I figured it wouldn't work. I am going to try that cable anyway and I will report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gandalf21502:
Let us know if it works...I would love to be able to hook up to my 'older' sets and such with my GSII!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kyokahn:
Any updates on this? I'm also interested in getting it to work with RCA composite.

Any help would be appreciated :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
Well I tried plugging my phone into the tv through a 3.5mm to RCA cable, and nothing. But, I also tried it with my Captivate running ICS and still nothing. My SGSII is on ICS as well, so maybe the function just wasn't built in to the software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrbisme33:
I'd also tried this on KK6 with no luck... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
Not related to this phone but the iPod Videos had this option I believe. The Classic took the function out.

Fyi for anyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DirknJirkn13:
I can confirm that MHL to HDMI to RCA through a converter does work with our phones. But then I stumbled upon this...it looks promising.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Hi all,

So last night I decided to give Cyanogenmod7 a try. I came from MIUI.us 2.1.20 - I just love MIUI, but it's a bit too demanding for the Milestone. So I have CM7 up and running, and it is a lot more snappy. But now, I'm having trouble installing some apps.

I tried installing my bank's banking app, but it didn't install - checked the market and it doesn't appear. Same thing with WhatsApp!! If it were working, I might just become a CM7 user..but it's not working.

Am I missing something? I installed after doing a full wipe, after which I installed DT A2SD scripts and then gapps-20111216 (although didn't see gmail or market etc after gapps, so installed those via apk).

What's the deal here?

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Ok, just wiped again, and reinstalled all. CM7 then gapps then dt a2sd. So far it's working.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] [E]Xtreme:
googleservicesframework.apk and vending.apk are all you need for using market. Try to reinstall them. May you success.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Ok, so now my problem is A2SD. It's not working! A2SDGUI refuses to go in, and when I do a check, I get a segmentation fault...I've never had this issue before. I've tried reinstalling DT A2SD from withing recovery and still, nothing. Please assist, I just need to get set up properly now.

Regards

DT scripts dont work ...use an external partition (app2ext)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
d.casper.b: CM7 for Milestone already comes with its own ap2ext scripts that are automatically used if there is ext partition present on your sdcard.

You should not install any 3rd party app2ext scripts as they are very likely to be conflicting with the scripts that are already there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Thanks kabaldan.

I'll check it out.

I was even going so far as trying to use Link2SD from the market..

How'd I know if it's working? By monitoring the available internal storage?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
when you will enable app2ext you will see the total space in your storage rise to 197 mb
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
I am not winning. I did a factory reset and flashed cm7 and gapps (not dt a2sd).

I did a test, internal storage was at 191mb, then I installed opera mobile and it went down to 182mb. Then uninstalled it again. Went into cyanogenmod settings and set install location to external. Installed opera again, but it was no different. Moving it to sd under 'manage applications' increased the internal memory again, but that's just moving the app to the FAT32 partition of the sd card.

So it's not seeming to work for me for some reason.

EDIT: I really don't want to be a nuisance, but now, looking at the available storage using "Quick System Info", I noticed after uninstalling "Opera Mobile", 9mb was freed on internal storage & 13mb on the ext partition.

So, perhaps it is working, and since the dalvik cache is (I assume) on internal storage, the storage is still decreasing. Am I correct? If so, is there a way to also move dalvik cache to the ext partition - I had it like this on MIUI & never looked at available memory ever again.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
First of all, have you really partitioned your SD card? Make sure you followed the 3rd step on this guide: http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/ . You should have your SD Card partitioned with two partitions, the first should be FAT32 that's used normally on Android, and the second EXT3 or EXT4. Obviously, make sure you have a backup of your FAT32 partition before partitioning.

Second, you should understand how the apps2ext scripts on CM7 work. Application installs that would be stored on internal memory are rerouted to the EXT3/4 partition on the SDCard. This happens at the underlying system (linux) level, Android (that runs on top of linux) is not aware of this rerouting, so, as far as Android "knows", apps that are rerouted to the EXT partition are on the phone's internal memory. That means that you should make sure that apps you need installed on the EXT partition of the SD card are shown in "Applications > Manage applications" list to be installed on the internal memory. Yep, it's confusing, but once you understand how it works and why it works that way, it makes sense.

Third, the fact that apps are rerouted to the EXT partition doesn't mean that everything about the app will live on the ext partition: it means only the main application package will live on the ext partition, application data is still stored on the internal memory. For most apps, the amount of data used for application data are much smaller than the application package, but in some apps the amount of application data from the app may often surpass the size of the app itself - for example, in my phone, Tweekdeck stores about 9Mb of data, which is about 10 times the size of the application itself (820kb) - presumably this amount of data is cached tweets, pictures, etc. But that case is usually the exception, not the rule, I've just mentioned it so you understand that using apps2ext doesn't mean your internal memory will always stay unused, it just means it will be used (way) less.

Finally, regarding the CyanogenMod Settings location setting, if you understood what I said above, you should now understand that it should actually be set to always install to "Internal", rather than external. However, there's a bug in this that you should be advised, that not all apps will respect this setting: some apps will install to external regardless of how you've configured that setting (meaning the app will use Froyo/Gingerbread native Apps2SD, hence being installed to the FAT partition of the SDCard). So, when you install a new app, check on app management if it didn't get installed to the SDCard, and move it to the internal memory if that's the case. For these kind of apps, you'll have to do it every time you update the app too.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Thanks, I edited my previos post..

I actually have 3 partitions, a FAT32, an ext2 (maybe it's ext3, but doubt it - partitioned some months ago, so my memory's hazy), and a SWAP - which I should get rid of, but am too lazy.

I understand entirely what you've said, I know that internal is really ext if working, and sd is FAT32 partition.

You see, I'm just new to this rom and have to trial and error until I understand, with miui you just flashed the rom and the a2sd scripts and didn't bother again (maybe only to move an app that installed to FAT partition). But it seems CM7 is simply just to flash the rom and you're good to go. But as I was pondering in my previous post...is there any way to move dalvik cache to ext?

Thanks for putting up with me..I'm almost there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
in the market you will find an app called s2e which moves app data, davlik cache to sd
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
also link2sd also free's up more space and makes cm7 snappier
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
please don't install such things to CM7 for Milestone unless you know what you are doing and you are able to resolve conflicts with the existing scripts

dalvik-cache is already moved automatically

if you want to free more space in /data, enable lib2ext to move native libraries to ext - it's mentioned in the changelog for 7.1.2 release

app data itself should not be moved as it can cause instability
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
Yeah, get rid of swap, there won't be any use for it (for now anyway) and it's best for you at this point to have a known working structure (two partitions, 1st FAT, 2nd ext3/4) for your SD as you're troubleshooting your problems/questions, it'll make it easier for us too as this will eliminate potential points of failure or inconsistencies. And you should really consider upgrading to a journaled filesystem, either ext3 or ext4. Using ext2 is unreliable because Android doesn't umount the ext partition cleanly on reboot or shutdown, so you may have problems with apps disappearing or misbehaving every other reboot. Using ext3/4 with journal elimitates this problem since the journal is just replayed for the uncleanly umounted partition and the filesystems behaves more consistently.

The apps2ext script built on CM7 should do this by default - you probably already have your dalvik-cache on the ext partition. To check this, go into OR, enter the console and type: "ls /sddata/dalvik-cache" . If it returns a list of files, you've already got the dalvik-cache on your ext partition. Another option is setting the option dalvik.vm.dexopt-cache-only to 1 in the file /system/build.prop . This will put all dalvik-caches (both from user apps and system apps) on the phone's internal cache partition, thus still freeing space on the internal memory but without using the ext partition, but that's not recommended if you install too many apps because the cache partition may run out space and that will spawn all kinds of weird behavior on Android. The safer route is just using the default configuration anyway (user apps dalvik-cache on sd-ext).

Another option to further reduce internal memory use is using lib2ext, that will move user apps native libraries to the ext partition, but the memory gain in this case is dependent on which apps you use and how big their native libraries (if they even have one) are. To activate it, just go into the Terminal app (with Android booted) and type:

$ su

# lib2ext

And reboot. The libraries will be moved to the ext partition during boot. Make sure you have a big enough ext partition to hold everything (apps, dalvik-cache and apps libs) - the size to recommend is very dependent on how many apps you use and how big they are, but I'd say 512Mb would be the bare minimum.

DON'T! JUST DON'T! These third-party apps will cause all kinds of problems with CM7 builtin apps2ext.

EDIT: Oh well, Kabaldan already put all my rambling much more succintly than I could... I'm way too talky :-P
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] shalom06:
well i was jus trying to help.. .anyway guys thanks i guess i won't be needing those apps anymore ...sorry for my noobness
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Thank you so much guys!

It seems like it's working. I will check out lib2ext & the other suggestions tonight or over the weekend (on my way to work now).

I must say, I thought the move to CM7 would be a temporary one, but the speed gain is just what I needed, & the tweaks I thought I'd miss I am finding hidden in the settings :) .

Just wondering on the battery now - but I've been fiddling non-stop.

So let me play a bit more the weekend & I'll merge my ext2 and SWAP partition into one ext3 partition.

Thanks all, and kabaldan for your hard work on this rom.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] d.casper.b:
Just as I was on my way...

Everything's running fine, A2SD works. But now, I partitioned my SD card with a 2nd partition (ext3, it was ext2), but now widgets are not loading. Checked the apps install location, and it's 'internal', ie. ext3. I never had this before. I think maybe it's due to the filesystem now?

EDIT: Ok, ext2 is doing the same. I can't keep starting from scratch the whole time guys. :(

EDIT2: It's now suddenly working! Just have a Fat32 and an Ext3 partition. But I don't understand because it's been setup like this twice before with no success. I'll hold thumbs!

PS, CyanogenMod is quite up my alley now, speed is awesome and I'm happy. ;)

Hi,

I recently upgraded to gingerbread and everything was working fine. I tried to root my phone. I successfully did so i believe since I see superuser. Now my wifi is turning on. I have tried multiple times but no luck. I was thinking of unroot my samsung captivate to check if that would help. I am not sure if that is a good option. Anyone who could help me resolve this issue. Worst part is I have to use my 3G all day.

Thanks in advance.
[Networking] pd456:
what method did you use to root your phone.? what android version are you running?

(i dont mean to teach you to suck eggs - menu - settings - about phone - android version) do you get the wifi signal bar in the status bar whether it is colored or grey?
[Networking] kangodeng:
try to replace the ROM
[Networking] rahulpula:
Firmware version: 2.3.5

baseband: I897UCKK4

Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832

Build no. : GingerBread.UCKK4

I used Kies to update the official version of gingerbread and later on tried odin for rooting after which the wifi issue started. i dont see the wifi signal bar at all.

I tried to unroot my device using Odin again and not the 3G is also dead!!
[Networking] rahulpula:
would it help if i tried to root it allover again??

I am guessing if some some patch did go through successfully

[Android Apps and Games] dev47:
I've been working (very sparsely) on a small side-side project, my first attempt going back almost 2 years now. I'd like to do a beta run and get some responses. There are bound to be compatibility issues as well.

The "live" wallpaper (lwp) basically puts our favourite Android on your desktop and allows you to interact with him. The current implementation is still a bit basic. The focus has always been minimal resource usage, which is biggest issue with most lwp. Similar ideas have, obviously, emerged on the market recently - but its all 3D from what Ive been seeing.

Features (beta)

No continuous animations hogging resources.

Basic interactions with the Android.

Android will not be pleased if you keep bugging him ;)

Sleep if screen has been off for too long, 2 demo animations activated via left hand.

After a while the will andorid will stop responding, turn the screen off for a while :)

Settings havent been implemented yet

- FPS is fixed at 50.

- The lwp will "copy" your current wallpaper (if its an image). So first set desired background wallpaper, then load DroidPal.

Known issues

1. There is a "bug" with Android, where ALL touch events get to the app - even if you are tapping icons/widgets. There is a workaround, but it doesnt work in the wallpaper preview, and some devices dont support it properly. [1][2]

2. Sometimes the wp becomes unresponsive (probably related to #1 and the specific launcher used).

If you get a Force Close/Crash, logcat output showing the error would be useful.

DISTRIBUTION OF THIS APP IS NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE THIS FORUM. PLEASE LINK TO THIS THREAD IF SHARING.

->Download Removed. Beta over, app will in market soon :) <-

This going to sound silly but how do I interact with the Android?
[Android Apps and Games] dev47:
You can try tapping him on the head/body. Or somewhere in top of him.

He will also react after you turn the screen on (probability depends on how long it was off). The beta has 2 demo animations via the left hand.

Also note the "Known Issues" section above regarding touch events.
[Android Apps and Games] rashidi_zin:
My girlfriend was so excited playing with him. She somehow managed to make him to disappeared and appeared at other places.

I'm not sure if that a bug or a feature.
[Android Apps and Games] dev47:
^, yes it is :)

By the way, suggestions for animations & interaction sequences are welcome.

Ok folks.. I have been looking for a back cover for my gtablet and I found one at NewEgg. It comes in both Black and Clear... for those of you that are interested its a polycarbinate material.... And is only 13.00, its suppose to have all the right cut outs and such....

The Company name is GreatShield Guardian Series Slim-Fit PolyCarbonate Hard Case for ViewSonic gTablet 10.1 Multi-Touchscreen Tablet
[G Tablet Accessories] patsoxfan:
Found the same on buy.com for $10.95
[G Tablet Accessories] scanff:
I opted for a case with keyboard. Here :- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details

The case is hard leather the keyboard and stand are a bonus, I figured it may come it useful to have a keyboard close by. If you need a keyboard it's worth a little extra.

Why not to electroniccrap.com have a look.. There are many toies for Gtablet..

Did you buy this greatshield case? Thoughts?
[G Tablet Accessories] VDoubleUVR6:
Just ordered mine today through Amazon as I wanted to get something else so I was able to get free shipping. Now just need to sit and wait for it..stated for delivery sometime next week. I'll post back with my thoughts.
[G Tablet Accessories] airabus911:
Recieved this item.

Yes I did use GreatShield, I wanted it in black and it was only offered in clear thru Newegg. So I went to the Greatshield site and ordered in in black. And it arrived 5 days later, via USPS.

Works like a charm, all the cut outs are correct. NO shape edges and it pops right on. It was worth the wait and the price.
[G Tablet Accessories] VDoubleUVR6:
Well the Greatshield back cover arrived today. First impression wasn't what I was expecting...I was thinking it was more like the material like those Cruzerlite covers are made of for phones. This is actually just hard plastic with a painted black soft touch paint on it, kind of like the soft touch plastics found in many cars. Actually VZW sells sliding belt holsters which are pretty much the same concept as this cover. Either way its another layer on the back of the tablet that adds a little bit more thickness which I actually don't mind plus the soft touch paint gives it more grip.

All ports and physical buttons are exposed which is great but the only thing which could bother some is access to the micro sdcard slot/USB port cover is a little difficult. You will have to peel the back cover off slightly to get it opened if you access that slot and port. Oh getting this thing off is kind of a pain since the tablet is a little bigger than a phone. I find sitting on the couch while trying to get the cover off is better just incase things go flying.

Anyways on to the pictures (sorry for the blurry pictures, these were taken with my Droid X):
[G Tablet Accessories] munit85:
The extra grip must be nice.

I always worry when I one hand mine that it is going to slip out of my hands since it's kind of slick.
