I cannot see aroma menu, only some stripes

im using it on HTC Wildfire
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dany547:
in aroma config, disable RGB matrix, or try to select another one

#ini_set("force_colorspace","rgba");
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nasty007:
it was already on rgba so i disable it but its a same thing

Wildfire doesn't have GPU so maybe this is a problem, i dont know
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dany547:
yes, i think thats the problem, aroma is directly render by the gpu

The aroma interface works well, but it didnt install anything on phone. :confused: And when I copy log to sd card after installation, its blank...

This is aroma-config: http://pastebin.com/KHahXZge

and this is updater-script: http://pastebin.com/gcAvTKFy

whats the problem? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dany547:
the partitions in updater-script are correct?

and you didnt defined what the updater-script should send to the binary-installer if its set to 1, or to 0...because the script doesnt know.

if

file_getprop("/tmp/aroma/mods.prop","selected") == "1"

then
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] patrik.KT:
thanks for answer, :o but it works now, because I used installer from other rom for my device...now just solve the bootloop :rolleyes:

Hi guys!

I have a problem with mi I9000GT. I didnt turn off my phone for 1 week and today the battery was wasted. When i try to boot normally, it pass trought the white "Samsung Galaxy S" and goes to "Cyanogenmod" but after that the device reboot automatically (just before appears the blue Android with the skate). After the reboot, again the same but he goes to the clockworkmod 5.0.26 that i installed when i put the CM 7.1.

I have CM 7.1 for 1 year and i never had this problem :S and i tried to search for the problem but i didnt get any solution.

Hope u can help. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskovski:
So, im still waiting for Note 2 but in the meantime im considering the original Note as an option.

Some questions:

1.CAMERA: In the last version of the Note (4.0.4), whats the state with the front facing camera. I read things that it cant record 720p and from GB to ICS the camera is software reduced to 1.2 MPx .

2.USB: Whats the state with USB storage on ICS is it MTP or normal USB storage. How usable internal space does it have (16GB-1GB apps -?Touchwiz?) . Does it support wireless or wired mouse and keyboard. Can it read NTFS filesystem on ext SDcard or UBS flash and HDD.

3.MEDIA: Does it have FM radio and NFC. Whats the maximum bitrate that can play. I guess it can play FullHD Multichannel mkv file over HDMI..

Thanx in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evaworld:
1- no the camera remains as it is, and no change in any thing related to front or back cam.

2-you can choose between normal mass storage or MTB ,and you have 11gb as your internal SD. Card and about 2gb for your installed apps, and yes it have full support for USB otg and wireless keyboard and mouse, and can read ntfs.

3-yes it have FM radio, but no NFC, and I think it can play full HD over HDMI, but don't know about bit rate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskovski:
Today i tried S II and Note on GingerB and both cant record 720p with the front cameras.

They are 2MPx but cant record HD video WT*.

Just just shows 640x480 video option greyed out.

Is this fixed on ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
NO it is the same even on ICS 4.0.4.

I'm not sure what your goals are though, but why would you want to record 720p on the front camera? and not on the main one? Yes the 640x480 option is greyed out because that is the only allowable limit for a 2 MP front cam. the main cam can record up to 1080p one. But not the front cam. Why? again for pete's sake it's just a 2 megapixel one and nobody I think, would want to record a video using the front camera(unless of course he is vain enough to record himself all the time), most people record a video thru the back /main one.. not the front cam.

Again, you can't expect to record HD video on the 2MP front facing cam(self portrait) due to it's camera hardware limitation(just 2mp), perhaps you need to reconsider just using the main cam for that.

when was the GS3 and Nexus made? tssss thread starter please do use ur common sense
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
if your main factor in buying a phone is the front camera to record 720p/1080p... then sorry to burst your bubble..but perhaps the Note is not for you at all.

You may need to check the other threads as well (Gnex and SIII), perhaps that is where you'll find all your answers to... (don't forget to also consider the Nokia Pureview 808, if you really desire to look for an all around camera phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskovski:
Huh, no thank did you played with the 808 the UI is ... disaster ..

My point is that since its 2PMx i should have 720p capabilities..

I dont need empty words, is it hardware or software problem?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
it's NOT EVEN a problem at all. It is just the way how Samsung developed their front end cameras on the Note. It has a 2MP cam which only supports 640x480 res. You can't get any higher than that. It is a limitation on the Note's camera itself. And I bet that is how Samsung design it that way on the Note.

Seriously, if you have more qualms than looking at the bigger picture of getting the Note(big screen wow factor), then perhaps (again let me say it), the NOTE isn't for you at all.

I am getting odd battery stats. I am pretty sure it is a calibration issue but wiping the data or running calibration tools seems to make no difference. Am I flashing something wrong? I make sure to wipe the data each time. It's not a huge problem but I would love to have a more accurate record.

I am a little new to this, I have installed Android sdk and i am able to see my device by using "adb devices" , i have also installed Cygwin, now i want to backup whole phone memory block so i tried executing the first line on cygin "adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555" i get an error saying -bash: adb :command not found.

I am sorry if i am missing any thing, please guide me, and also what do you mean by "download Cygwin, and install with it netcat, pv and util-linux"

Thanx a ton !!
[Android General] scandiun:
You've done almost everything! But you skipped the section "make sure adb is in your path"

Probably you have adb.exe in the path

C:\Program Files (x86)\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe

So you have to just add it to the Cygwin's path (would be better if you had added it earlier to the windows' path and cygwin will import it automatically but it is ok)

export PATH="/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/android-sdk/platform-tools":$PATH

Remember to backup the path previously if you want.

You don't have installed pv and netcat on cygwin. Run the setup.exe and install them.

If you run

should give you some path (in cygwin) but applies similar inside android.

No idea what you may be doing wrong
[Android General] Ragdim:
Listen, I appreciate the guide, and it being basically the only one which popped up in google results, I can't gripe too much, but... you really, really need to make it more clear.

The point of a guide is to help a large group of people with varying degrees of knowledge (and if it's a guide targeted at a specific group of people, i.e tech savvy, then it needs to be indicated as such).

With that working definition in place, it follows that you should be as specific as possible; think of *everything*. By doing so, you not only avoid headaches for the people reading the guide, but for yourself as well since you don't have to reply to comments which might've otherwise been avoided.

I would post a question, but I'll probably have figured this out (with a good 1+ hours of searching no doubt) before anyone responds.

Here are some examples of what could be more specific:

"ADB installed." - what is ADB? Where's the link? It's not reasonable to assume people use these tools on a regular basis or remember them.

"You can push parted with GPT support to your device and see all information on a partition or block." - okay, so we know what it does but not how to install it or use it.

"ADB mode" - is this important? What is it? Not sure because it was glossed over.

These are just some examples. It's not the most horrendous trespass ever committed, but definitely annoying. Just spell it out from one step to the next, it works far better than topics with subheadings and unintuitive concepts being assumed as general knowledge on the behalf of noobs like me.

Edit: I'm just going to take everything off my SD card, use nandroid, and then copy the nandroid backup to computer as well. Please improve the guide, thanks.
[Android General] stevegt:
Greatly appreciate this!

For me, a long-time UNIX and Linux administrator, this little guide was a breath of fresh air. Scandiun, *Thank You* for putting it together. It makes perfect sense to me -- just treat the phone as the linux machine it is. I'm becoming convinced that most of the more recent "developers" hanging around the android community have never used a linux machine before -- they don't seem to know what's going on, they go way out of their way to write overkill tools to do things clumsily that can already be done cleanly and quickly from the command line, and then they wrap those tools in so much mystery, black magic, and script-kiddie terminology that I can't figure out what they do either, and I certainly don't trust them doing things to my phone.

For example, I've got a new Galaxy S3, and just wasted a whole day digging around on xda, reviewing all of the "kewl rooting mods" until I got sick of it. Why the *heck* are people flashing entire partitions just to install a setuid /system/xbin/su on these devices? The rooting method I wound up using was dirt simple -- just find an rc exploit and use it to install an 'su' binary, by typing a few commands via adb. I used a variation of the exploit mentioned in http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2012/Aug/171, and elaborated in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790104, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792342, http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-u-s-canadian-dual-core-galaxy-s3-on-mac-osx/, and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827518. If you are a UNIX person, you'll recognize what's going on with that exploit and be able to come up with something that suits your own needs. If you aren't a UNIX person, then you'll be completely lost. Sorta like this guide.

For anyone who doesn't yet know what adb is, or who's never used standard UNIX/Linux tools like dd, netcat, gparted, or busybox, I agree that this guide is not only not going to help you, but may actually aid you in shooting yourself in the foot with extreme efficiency. But please don't criticize or nag the OP in return for helpful advice freely given. You won't learn much about UNIX tools on an Android-related web site in any case. I recommend starting with a Linux systems administration book -- the Nemeth series is always good. But if you do take that route, you need to expect to take time to learn the basics.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

all of storage I mean. the full monty ... :o:o:o

----------------------

parted seems to not work fully with Samsung galaxy Y = SGY proprietary rfs filesystem

on SGY mmcblk0 gives you the sd card, not internal storage with android.

backing up my sd card was a thing I could even do before I read this (lol)
[Android General] scandiun:
nc is an abbreviation for netcat. On Cygwin, you choose to install either, but for the original, written by the *Hobbit*, that allows direct execution of commands with -e and -t, you have to uncheck "Hide obsolete packages" on Cygwin's setup.exe.

The two of them are here:

Netcat 1.10 (netcat.traditional): http://www.netgull.com/cygwin/release-legacy/netcat/

Netcat 1.107 (netcat.openbsd): http://www.netgull.com/cygwin/release/nc/

Can you post where is your whole memory block then or even the PIT file for that phone? You have an example here:

[Android General] mai77:
I don't know where the "whole memory block" is or what it is. is it internal storage = NAND ?

Yes it is the NAND. See your pit analysis here:

but how do I backup NAND in one piece on SGY ?

Just wanted to let anyone know that an RMA from asus is not the way to go! I could not get ahold of google so I contacted asus on 7/18/2012. An RMA was issued and I sent out my nexus 7 to them. According to UPS asus received the package on 7/23/2012. When I look up my RMA status online asus states they received my nexus on 7/25/2012. No big deal. However it is currently 8/6/2012, a nice 13 days that asus has had my nexus and as you can tell from the pic that I am no where near receiving my nexus back. As you can see my status is still "waitex". I shipped out my nexus on 7/19/2012 so as of today I have been with out my nexus for 19 days. Not too concerned but just wanted to let everyone know of my situation and not to go this route unless you have to. Thought I was saving time by going through asus but obviously not.
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
Sorry to hear. This is how Asus operates. I RMA'd my Transformer Prime and the morons sent me back a 32 GB unit to replace my 64 GB unit. Now I'm going through the whole damn RMA process again. They're a despicable company.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Most tech companies operate warranties this way. It's because they don't have gigantic departments to handle the claims. I don't get the Asus hate. Been using their great PC parts for years in my PC. Clearly there aren't any pc people here or no one would be calling them "despicable". It's Asus or msi for pc parts no in between.

Anyway last year I bought a power color AMD Radeon 6790, and it kept having a screen garbled issue. After trying anything I threw it a friends pc and yep same issue. So i made an rma to power color, had to pay $14 for shipping I was without my card for nearly a month and I was pretty cranky about it as I couldn't play battlefield 3 without it. But they replaced the card and no issues since so I can't complain.

Does Asus have advanced shipping? Some tech companies do, ie western digital, thermaltake
