[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
I'm a bit of a perfectionist an I like all my music to have album covers. However, the gracenote server from the native HTC music app shows some ridiculous results, and sometimes changes if you revert and update the album cover again!

Is there any way to improve the album matching? Or even provide the choice of covers?

I know there are plenty of art grabber apps, but the resolutions tend to be lower an not as good. I also like to streamline everything an minimise the amount of 3rd party apps I have.

Anyone know of a remedy, or a mod out there?

I have an MIUI Rom and it's stock music player downloads album art to use. However the album art isn't save on the music file just the app. Another option is zplayer which can be found in the market, i mean "play store", and it does the same as the one above.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MR.change:
no need ,paranoid android is based on CM9 ,and therefore safe to flash from ,just flash a nandroid restore ,or flash a GB ROM using mobile ODIN

no need for PC ODIN if you are on a safe kernel (i.e CM9 ,Speedmod ICS ,Franco r3+ ,and GB kernels)

Finally figured out how the error happened to me on my htc inspire with custom (sense 3.5) roms. It has to do with the exchange account setup which requires encryption/SSL. Now I am using touchdown for email setup and this error never occurs to me. It has puzzled me several days and ticket to google did not resolve anything. Now I can enjoy my custom roms!!

Hi,

We have developed a new, effective licensing control system for Android called DroidActivator.

It's intended to block piracy and also gives you some interesting opportunities, as licensing your app with an annual renewal fee, apply a subscription model to sell features or contents, protect your app outside GooglePlay, acquire device data, track custom events and more.

It is an Open Source project licensed under LGPL.

You can take a look at the Google Code Project Page (code.google.com/p/droidactivator) and to the project web site ([www].droidactivator.org)

Hope it can help the community!

Have a nice day,

The DroidActivator developers team.
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Not quite sure what the point of an open source anti-piracy app. It just allows people to tinker with it and thus bypass it.
[Android Apps and Games] algos-dev:
A protection system should not rely on hiding its code to be effective.

Any protection can be defeated by a determined pirate.

It's just a matter of making life harder.
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Isn't open source making it easier?
[Android Apps and Games] algos-dev:
This is an interesting topic.

You are right lambstone: looking at the source can help you cracking the code.

But in my opinion, the point is in the targeted audience.

An open source protection would not be suited for the new angry-birds-whatever but it would be for your medium/high-priced business app.

We have just no technology to avoid piracy. If the app is interesting enough, the pirate will decompile the app, remove the protection, repackage it and share it on the web. In this scenario, if the pirate got helped by looking at the code or struggled a bit more on the binaries doesn't matter so much.

We are not willing to fight this kind of piracy. We just wanted to build a tool to help small software houses to fight "casual" piracy (folks who won't search for and use the crack, but won't hesitate violating the EULA in the absence of technical license protection mechanism) which represents the vast majority of piracy.
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
It cuts both ways: more people reviewing the code means that it can be made harder to crack.

Whenever I sync my phone via USB using Kies all my "phone contacts" pics disappear on the phone but they show on my Outlook contact cards. Its very frustrating to say the least. All the other information is retained but not pictures. Anyone else come across this? Is there a working solution for this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] linker3000:
How about a separate forum for ROM flashing/bricking issues with the Note, to keep all that kind of traffic separate from general questions?

The Q&A forum is getting swamped with such questions, plus a lot of them cover the same issue and so getting them all in one place might help people searching for answers and also reduce the number of postings about the same thing.

It would also mean that people like me who aren't planning to flash their Notes (yet) can get on with reading and contributing general stuff.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
I'd seriously consider proposing another one for whining and complaining, it seems to be second most popular subject, right after bricking. Fortunately, the superbrick panic subsides or we'd need a third one.

PS. What could be the name of the forum? "Help, I bricked my Note"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] panyan:
im thinking of proposing a 500 post minimum for posting in the development section! :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Abagnale:
IMO it is very good idea. The general and q&a sections are full of brick related threads.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ubertool:
This might be a stupid question, but is the architecture for the SGH i957 similar enough to the SGH i727 to be able to flash the same roms?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
partition layouts are different.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
They're really close, indeed. Main difference is the filesystem layout (partition numbers and sizes), cameras, LCD panel, digitizer...

But, those are significant enough differences to mean code changes, which means a rebuild.. which means: you won't be flashing a skyrocket ROM, even though the platforms are very similar -- both are msm8660_surf.

Relax for a bit, CM9 will support msm8660 soon enough and Samsung should put out ICS kernel source not too terribly long from now.

Then we do a CM9 i957 build and win :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Sammy just released the 989 source which is something I guess
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
Yes! I just noticed that earlier when I was browsing git repos looking at msm8660 kernel stuff and noticed CM9 pulled in the T989 stuff already and they've started hacking at it.

github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_msm8660-common

Closer by the day :-D
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ubertool:
Confused

I'm just confused as to why this tab seems to act like it's half rooted, half not once it is rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
rooted is just su access. are you saying that when you try to perform a function which requires su it works 50% of the time only?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
That T989 kernel release... Appears to support a little more than the T989!

From cyanogenmod_skyrocket_defconfig:

# CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_I717 is not set
CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_I727=y
# CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_I727R is not set
# CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_I757 is not set
# CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_T989 is not set

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Is CM aware of our device similarities?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ubertool:
Not so much a superuser issue per say, more so, if you download terminal emulator, and use it on say a skyrocket and also use it on this tab, they act completely different, almost as if the tab is half rooted, half bonkers.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
I'm not sure, I figure once they get I727 "officially" supported, I'd grab the tree, make it work on the i957 (hopefully) and submit the work.

The i717 (Note) is also notable (lol) -- Popular device that'd be pretty awesome with official CM9 support! :)

Go 8660 team!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nrvate:
I've had no issues with the terminal emulator or ssh daemon, both work wonderfully on all the Honeycomb images I've tried. Are you having trouble completing a specific task on the Tab? I could try to reproduce.

Not sure. I haven't attempting to contact anyone on the CM team regarding this yet... I suspect they've got plenty more to do than worry about a fairly unpopular tablet.

Also, bad news: The T989 kernel release includes SOME of the P5LTE stuff, but not all of it!

kernel source directory arch/arm/mach-msm contains various board configuration files -- For example, board-msm8x60_celox.c (celox is the codename for the Skyrocket).

This is for kernel target option "CONFIG_TARGET_SERIES_CELOX", which is the way to go for skyrocket / skyrocket HD... However, the Tab 8.9's are of the P5 series... The i957 is the "P5LTE", as in kernel config option

"CONFIG_TARGET_SERIES_P5LTE", which, according to the makefiles, should bring in board-msm8x60_p5lte.c, but that file does not exist in the T989 release. So, of course, the build fails with a missing file.

Another little gem in the T989 source, I'll let you draw your own conclusions on this one...

Contained in the source:

board-msm8x60_q1.c

Config options: CONFIG_TARGET_SERIES_Q1, CONFIG_FB_MSM_MIPI_S6E8AA0_WXGA_Q1_PANEL

And a config:

arch/arm/configs/msm8660-perf_Q1_USA_ATT_defconfig

Looks like sammy is getting ready to drop another Q1. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
I've done a lot of su terminal stuff without trouble.

How did you root? Kernel flash or update zip?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ubertool:
Kernel flash, I can't cd to any files.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Flash the update zip
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Are you sure you are using the right terminal commands?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ubertool:
Yeah, flashing the superuser.zip didn't help. Yes, the commands are:

su

cd /sdcard/whatever folder i want and it just keeps saying can't cd, where as on another device it would cd to the specified folder properly.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ubertool:
It also doesn't put that app_125@android in front of $ or #.

I want to use my i957 with T-Mobile; Since the i957 has similar hardware to the Skyrocket and ATT Note, I tried flashing the Skyrocket KID and VKL1 modems, but each time after flashing it wouldn't detect either my ATT or Tmobile sims anymore.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wondesire:
I'm having some trouble rooting and unlocking the bootloader on my HTC Desire HD.

The tools I currently have at my disposal are the AAHK too root it, and HTC's official tool to unlock the bootloader. However it's somewhat of a vicious circle.

In order to root, I need to downgrade and have the device locked. In order to unlock it, it needs to be updated to a certain degree. I can't update it after rooting because it crashes the device. I can't root it after unlocking because it requires the device to be locked.

So basically I can do each no problem, but can't do both together. Does anyone have a solution to this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muikkuman:
*Relock bootloader using htcdev

*run advanced ace hack kit

Dont use HTCDEV to unlock your bootloader, AAHK do it for you.

*Downgrade

*obtain root

*obtain S-OFF (unlock bootloader)

Then you flash a custom recovery like 4EXT touch recovery or clockworkmod recovery and flash a custom Rom :)

I personally recommend 4EXT touch recovery.

Good luck :)

Any updates on this yet? Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
It is available but it needs to be installed by the user, there was a thread about it on here.

Which means you will have to decompile some files.

If you've never done any of this before then you probably don't want to even try this.

If that's the case then wait for a dev to implement it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Lilshaun:
After much more use with this phone and experimenting with various roms, and researching other users' experiences with ics on the galaxy nexus, I have come to the conclusion that sense is not the main culprit for the multitasking issues experienced with this phone, but that ics is. Yes sense "tweaked" the way the phone handled multitasking with the phone by making the minfree settings more aggressive, however, even after tweaking these settings with the phone, the phone's multitasking is still broken.

If you still don't believe me flash the cm9 or aokp roms and look at how the phone handles multitasking. Apps will still tend to reload after exiting them and using another app after a couple minutes. For example, while using cm9, I would have on average at least 350 mb of ram available for me to use even after having such apps like the web browser running in the background. However, if I exit the browser to go check or write emails for example for a few seconds and then go back to the browser, the pages I were viewing on the web browser resets. Look at this video for example starting around 6:20.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiRuycMN5Wg

As you can see, the web browser page reloads the same way that it does on the HOX. Even looking through other forums show the same type of reloading of apps on the galaxy nexus.

It seems that the only way to truly fix the multitasking on this phone is by changing the way ics handles multitasking altogether. Has anyone been experiencing anything different than what has been described in this post?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Artood2s:
I don't recall having any multitasking issues on my Asus Transformer (running AOSP-based rom). Not sure I buy it as an ICS issue, but I will test some more.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
This has been discussed ad nauseum. I had no multitasking issues whatsoever on my GNex. Sure the browser might reload but that's it. You can leave games and come back to them an hour later and still be in the same spot. With the HOX, as soon as you leave that's it, time to start over. If it is still doing it on CM9 or AOKP it's because of the KERNEL. Pretty sure both those ROMs still use the Sense kernel or some modified version thereof.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
I believe this is correct - the alpha versions of CM9 and AOKP are both still based on the HTC kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Yup. This

as soon as we have custom kernels life will be much easier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tifosi256:
Looking at the Asus announcement for the latest OTA, it says that it adds:

Add system bar lock settings for showing/hiding system info

I've searched around but I can't see what this actually is/does. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Peter Galbavy:
There is now a tick box in the same place you enable the toolbar lock option. If it's ticked then a darkened version of the system bar info is displayed instead of nothing on the right of the system bar. Not that exciting, especially given the Kindle app completely darkens the whole system bar and doesn't even leave the white dots that a video player does :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] patrickvdw:
I'm using the NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA v2.0 ROM on my HTC HD2. But since i've switched to ICS my car kit doesn't recognize my phone anymore.

I have a Volkswagen Passat with a RNS315 navigation system and Bluetooth Premium.

I could connect my phone to my carkit by installing Gingerbread, pairing the phone and install ICS, but since v2.1 and higher my carkit doesn't find the phone anymore (probably because the MAC address for bluetooth has changed). When I make the phone visible and do a search for mobile phones I get the message that no compatible phone has been found. Though it does still recognize the phone as a Media Player. Does anyone has any ideas to make this work? Especially v2.3 of the NexusHD ROM is really interesting now since mute is working!

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Patrick
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] M.Q.:
Starting from ICS, Android no longer supports rSAP protocol (only HFP). Your car kit probably does not support HFP protocol and this is why it is not finding the phone.

Thankfully, there is an app on play store that adds the support back.

First install "Bluetooth SIM Access Install", then "Bluetooth SIM Access (Trial)" or Full version (paid). You can also see instructions on their website: http://www.android-rsap.com

After installing the trial version, my Skoda GSM II car kit (probably same as yours VW) finally recognized HD2 with Paranoid 1.1a ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobinS.Buisman:
Maybe you could drive to the nearest dealer, and ask for an update of your carkit system. It would be pretty lame if VW doesn't support Android 4.0.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] patrickvdw:
I'll try to connect the phone using the rsap app. The weird thing is that once it's paired using Gingerbread and then installing Android 4, it still connects. (With the older ROM version though, not with the newer anymore). I don't know if it is the ROM, or if it is ICS.

So I'll try to connect using rsap, and if that doesn't work I'll visit the dealer. Thanks for your replies. I'll let you know the outcome.
