[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
yeah i know increasing compression, gives less quality, is what i said ;) a way to DECREASE compression, and having better quality ;)

yes i can lower resolution, but this doesn't always give you a visible quality increase, it's right that less pixel, gives less quality, but usually talking of native sensor resolution, if there's a possible way to improve photos, without lowering resolution, wouldn't it be better? ;)

looking at file size, seems that:

for example i had an lg optimus 2x, wich gave 8 mpixel 3 mb (average some 2 some 4) files,razr gives me an average of 1,7 mb file size so, 2 8mpixel sensors, usually would take same quantity of details and data having a similar sensitive surface, depending on light, bigger or smaller files, but on average, file size would be similar, cause resolution, quantity of pixel (white, black colored, so changing file size) etc are similar.

on that device there was an hack wich changed jpeg compression of 15% (with more or less visible improvement depending on situation, but usually was better) and wich changed video bitrate to higher values and better fps (30 instead of 24) (also audio changed, but razr audio is just excellent as is), giving VISIBLE better results

saving an 8mpx photo with photoshop in jpeg format for example, at 100% quality, or 95% quality doesn't give you a 30/40% file size difference,

while a 15/20% quality difference, can give you that difference in file size.

i don't think that in 2012, where amazon in italy, offers 16gb class10 sds for 8 euros, a little file size increase would be a big problem :P

so i think, razr could better photos at stock than optimus 2x, in terms of general quality... but lower files size... for what i know, jpeg standard is the same since about 10 yeas :P so there are just 2 possible thinking behind this...

1) probably motorola uses some magic, give you more detail with less data

2) probably sensor is better than 2x, but can be even better with less compression.

obviously is what i can think looking at "numerical data", probably there's something i don't know about this ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
So I repartitioned my SD card yesterday with GParted in Ubuntu, and I ended up coming out with a couple FSCK files (FSCK0000.000, FSCK0000.001, etc.) which replaced actual files I had on the card.

I'm not really familar with File System Check, but I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the FSCK files to their original state to make them usuable again. Not a huge deal, but it would save me a few hours for sure. Let me know if you have any ideas.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] blackknightavalon:
No ideas and that's bad luck. I had a couple of cards go bad, but not because of Gparted. Made me learn the hard way to back everything on the SD card up before repartitioning.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Yeah, I've repartitioned many times before and never had troubles. Definitely my own fault for not backing up. Not all of my files were damaged though, just a few which is good.

And I'm almost 100% sure the data inside the files are still intact, because I found an affected folder containing my wallpapers, and was still able to view the images inside even though they were the FSCK0000 files.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
It turns out I was right in assuming the data in the FSCK files were still there.

I was able to recover the files again by simply renaming with the correct file extension. I imagine they just weren't readable by the programs I was trying to open them with.

Hi all.

how can i use radio fm on airplane mode?

Thx

I m using zeus v6
[LG Optimus Black] scamex:
WTF ?

Today i wanted to change SIM for something and when i pushed shut down button my phone just restarted ! After reboot i hitted shut down again and it shutted down.

Repeated again and it happened again. WTF ?

I`m on Zeus V6. Sorry for my english !
[LG Optimus Black] kanivier:
Unfortunately u can't
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
It also wouldnt make sence, since plane mode is, as the name says for being on a plane and there you would want as little radiation as possible (no wifi, no gps,...) to not disturbe the planes electronics. You probably could mod that in the code somehow, but I guess that would be a rather tough thing ;) can you tell us, what for you need it?

thanks for the explanation, but why

we can turn on wifi on airplane mpde and we can't do it with fm radio
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
That probablx has to do with the interacting frequencies, but i dont know for sure...and you probably wouldnt have fm reception on a plane, but that s all just guessing ;)

This is just a mod of Xperia neo (V) build.prop edited to look like Xperia S (model + firmware + android version 2.3.7)

Tested with Xperia neo V (mt11i)

Why to do this? - Well if you want to get in the playstation store (however it shows me an error when buying game) xperia s is supported...

For me everything works (exept that PC companion doesn't update your phone) but you can still access your SD card (sometimes it recognizes it as Neo V (mt11i)

Install with Root explorer (backup the original file)

I'm in the same boat as I followed EdyyOS's guide to install ICS OTA. So I have S-OFF and HBOOT 1.27.0000 but I'm not rooted or have CWM. I can't use Rom Manager as I don't have root. When I try to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 there seems to be something missing as I can't get the recovery to install the CWM files it links to.

Also on HBOOT it says in pink locked but I am S-Off.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I've attached 2 files to this post. The first is a PG58IMG.zip for the latest non-touch version of CWM. The second is for the current version of 4EXT

To flash, put the file you want to use first rename it to PG58IMG.zip (not PG58IMG.zip.zip) and put it on the root of your SD card and boot into HBOOT. It will ask you if you want to update so just select yes and it'll flash the recovery. Once done, press power to reboot and voila - you now have CWM/4EXT! :D

Thanks again Eddy!

Hello there,

To start off, I am new to Android system but now, I am comfortable at using it.

My Device: Sony Ericsson WT19i

Firmware Version: 4.0.2.A.0.58

Root Status: Rooted

Did some googling on how to root phone, and successfully rooted my phone and same time found out that .62 version of my phone's firmware is not rootable so stayed positively there for a month.

Now seeing other users CM7, CM9, CWM(ClockWorkMod) and other stuff which I don't even know made me crazy to test them out too. Besides, sony's stock rom is getting on my nerves.

So, what do I do now? Could anyone direct me on

1. Updating to .62 and still be able to root.

2. Custom Mods? How?

A big thank you for going through this.

Regards,

GaNi

first unlock your bootloader and flash custom kernel..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Doing OTA update on your phone will keep root. It means, if you have .58 firmware and root, and you do update via 3G or Wifi on your phone to .62, root stays the same.

For custom mods, you should first get familiar, what is ROM, kernel, what these do. Then it will be easier for you.

As for custom ROM, you will need custom kernel, which will require unlocked bootloader, which can be done via official method on Sony website, or via test point method(S1Tool). Either way you lose your warranty.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GxGaNi:
Regarding bootloader, look at screenshot please.

Do I still unlock it?

@someguy

The country which I reside costs a freaking lot for an MB, OTA updates could be my last alternative.

PS: Could we able to set the status back to normal so it doesn't look like it got it's warranty voided?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
Yes you can unlock it;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Yes, you can unlock the bootloader, both ways.

You can later on relock bootloader, then it will appear like this again.

OTA update can be done over WiFi also on your mobile.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manilu001:
is kernel changing with changing rom or it stays until you change it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] davidcmc:
I think you need Flashtools to flash a custom kernel (assuming the bootloader is previously unlocked) with ClockWork Mod (CWM) bundled.

After flashing the custom kernel, you reboot into CWM mode (depends on your phone model), erase system memory and install the new ROM (which should be in a .zip file in your SD Card).

tow days ago i flashed first time my htc sensation to InsertCoin 5.1.6 Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 EPIC ROM, Iam happy phone is fast, good on battery ect.

But when i check-About phone/hardware/processor it shows:

1.5hz x2 Bricked

What does it mean? my sensation has 1.2hz double

is my processor broken? but everything seem to be working fine

cheers guys

I don't think your processor is broken.. Maybe a corrupted data somewhere, but not broken.

so do you think I should try another Rom?
[HTC Sensation] Nicuu:
Well, perhaps install over again. I don't know, but do you have any problems regarding the Rom? Try some apps, browsing etc. to see if the processor runs fine.

It could be no problem also. The rom probably will not detect the native processor, but what the rom was built in. I don't think you have a problem, but I will try help out as hard as I can.

Report back,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ripclaw25:
I've been unsuccessful in getting the LCD resolution to change. I tried LCD Resolution with no change (no soft brick though). Also tried modifying the build.prop directly, that resulted in a soft brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
I resolved my market broken issue (just reinstalled ICS through odin).

Going to try it after my nandroid backup is done. Fingers crossed!

EDIT:

On further thought and some googling, a lot of the LCD density changing apps on the market have disclaimers about it not working on certain devices, or ICS. So I would actually be surprised if the ways of doing it on 2.3.5 will work on 4.0+

EDIT:

Alright, gave it a shot. It won't work. In fact, some of the icons appear larger. Didn't break my phone at all though, just a quick reboot and it was back to normal. I'm going to keep trying different ways.

Yeah editing the build file just gave me a soft brick as well.. bummer.

EDIT:

I tried adding a new line to the build.prop - My phone appeared to soft brick, and when I was trying to boot it into CWM it somehow booted up. But nothing had changed. Weird..

Also the apps on the market that claim to work with ICS don't for me.

Also, I heard that the Galaxy S II folks had this weird issue of there being TWO LINES that you needed to change... but from what I could tell (I looked over the file very carefully) there is only that one line.

After you've changed the density, you'll want to change the number of columns/rows of your launcher to make use of the extra space.
