[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yeah that is a little confusing... Unfortunately my two year old put my Shift in a glass of water. So all development from me has come to a screeching halt. It is not even booting right now. Got it in rice. Anybody know how to remove the lense of the camera? It visibly has water in it and I need to remove it if it is ever going to work again.

Edit: My trusty Shift is booting now, posting from it now... Everything else remains to be seen. Still worried about the Camera... If anybody knows how to fix the help would be much appreciated, prboy1969?

Rubbing alcohol is really good at drying out water, especially from those hard to reach places.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Shut it off, put it in the Rice again. If you have a Food Dehydrator. Set it on Low and put it in for about 15min. Watching it the Whole Time. A bag of Rice with the Device in it. Then place it in the Sun for a hour. I have also put the Device in a Coffee Can with Rice in it. Then place the Device in the Rice. Sink it in. Then I heated the Can with a Hairdryer for about 20min. Then let it cool down on it's own for an Hour. Last thing you can try is a Plastic Bag with the Device in it. Then throw a few Desiccant Bags in the Bag.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Took the lense off the camera and got the water out.. but still no worky.:eek: Screen just goes black, HTC camera app doesn't even come up. Everything else is functioning so even if no camera its not a total loss. He broke the arm off my glasses too... If ever there was an excuse to beat a child. I need to lock him in a cage when I'm sleeping (jk). He got my wife's Shift in water earlier this week too. I got hers fully functioning again just a mark on the screen.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
After further inspection the lense is cracked. So until further notice I can no longer test anything having to do with the camera
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Looks like I'm going to have to ;) I don't mind man its not my daily so I'm fine with flashing it. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Flash this on your speedy everyone! http://d-h.st/ayY I forgot to add lines in the build.prop so whenever the update is pushed you can receive it now! Once you open up the OTA app you should see no update available. We still haven't pushed the update and we will notify when we do! :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I think we got an update, mega's just gotta test the cam cuz I can't:(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] letmeputdatipin:
If I flash this, will I have to setup everything again?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Send it here. I'll test it for you ;) .
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Nope just dirty flash right over! :) Just a few build.prop edits that's it. It's for the OTA App to work, without the edits y'all wouldn't be able to receive the update. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
If you all want a zip setup or whatever to flash things to /system I can look on the hd I should have a universal speedy zip.....if not I'll try to whip a custom one up......

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
ok so here is a EVO Shift flashable zip, the only thing inside is a build.prop just to make sure it would go thorugh. you can drag an app folder into the zip with 7zip along with anyhting else that flashes to /system, no wipe needed to flash this zip its coded to wipe cache and dalvik cache for the user........but please feel free to change the name of the zip file, and the line in the updater-script that are

ui_print("");

ui_print("HTC EVO Shift");

ui_print("");

to something like this

ui_print("");

ui_print("HALO ROM update");

ui_print("");

i dont mind who uses this, or who changes the text, but it should work for anyrom...maybe at a later date a

package_extract_dir("data", "/data");

could be added to use this to also flash to /data, but im not sure on that line of code.....anyways i gotta run im late now but heres your EVO Shift dev zip http://d-h.st/6gc
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chad The Pathfinder:
Wow man this is really cool. Thanks!

I'm happy, wasn't ready to part with my Shift yet... Plus I don't have the money... I think Mega helped me pick out my next phone tho lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Hahaha :p . You know funny thing is I remember reading somewhere that some of the Cameras are interchangeable.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I know for a fact the Acer a100 tablets camera literally unplugs from the board. I got one that's junk (shattered digitizer/LCD) so I took it apart

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] prboy1969:
Yes Sir. Also apparently HTC saved some money by using the same Camera Hardware in a bunch of different devices. There's an article somewhere on XDA about it.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
You just have to watch the drivers that power the camera. Like the doubleshot has different Samsung camera drivers that was causing users cameras to only work on Stock roms

Hmm I saw the EVO Design camera and the OG EVO camera on Amazon for about ten bucks after shipping. No Shift tho. I had to remove the outer plastic lens to get mine to work. It was screwed. If I could just find that piece I bet it would only be a dollar.

Having issue with answering my phone when it rings (long pause when I try to answer) is any one else have this issue??
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
Nope, but I recommend deleting the themes you don't like/ aren't using it will eliminate a lot of bulk in the system and might speed things up some. I was gonna take some out but decided I'd let you guys pick the ones you like. The themes take up a lot of space (that is why the ROM is 300+mb)
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] gmoe65:
OK thanx I'll give that a try, love this Rom great work:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:

Love Love love the update, and thank you for telling us about removal of themes, this easily sped up my rom insanely. Since you guys have been loving us shift users, I decided I could give back. So I whipped up these graphics for you guys to show you my appreciation [although i hate halo :) ]

You guys going to bake in v6? Or any other goodies in the next rom?

Also sense 4 and another theme stopped working again on me. I know I mentioned this before and a reflash fixed it, but its back again. :(
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bilgerryan:
I had that happen on this and Sensu, it's always the Sense 4 theme, don't know why... Idk what is going on in terms of an update, I've been focusing on JB cuz everybody seemed to have lost interest in ICS. At least my DL numbers were considerably lower on my last few releases. But let me know what you guys want and I'll see what I can do. The holidays have kept me busy and Mega was sick for awhile so we haven't gotten together... Still working on getting v6 to play nice with 4.0+.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Protejae:
Id like to see updates :) of any kind.

I personally want to see the lightweight media rom.

But my main main request is a super solid stable, fast, responsive, ironed out jb or ics. I personally don't care about bluetooth or 4g since I don't use neither.

I noticed my best performance with newsense although I hate lockscreen and android ver, everything was mint. Gps worked, 3g was speedy, 0 problems that I can recall atm.

My biggest downfall on these newer roms is 3g seems troubling sometimes even slow. Gps works occasionally and hardware keys aren't perfect. I would like to see a rom finalized and complete to its max potential. Now this could be because of prl and profile update, but there has to be a different alternative way to update these in 4.0 based ROMs besides reflashing a sense than ics rom. Nonetheless ill be happy with whatever and will keep trying roms intill I find that perfect one that works for me. So far remix was the closest :( just had minor problems. Keep up the great work and we are here to support the devs, shift users care!
[Motorola Photon 4G] protoaz:
I have been rooting and mossing phones for over a year now. So i do know a good bit about what I am doing. I am also proficient with ADB and other modding experience. However I am new to the photon 2.3.5 and the locked bootloader and looking for some potential options to breathe life back into this phone.

The photon is a sprint 2.3.5 locked.

I just wanted to root and de-bloat it a bit and that was all. Rooted phone typically with no issues. Placed bootstrap on it for the purposes of backing up the system ONLY. All was well.

Ran universal deblur and encountered a hard reset. Phone would not boot. Receiving "failed to boot 4 starting rsd mode"

Before i could mess with the phone further my brother got a hold of it and wrote a system.img file through fastboot as per instructions listed here:

I'm not allowed to post links yet... but it was the motosunfire site where you push a system.img through fast boot

No errors but upon reboot the same failed boot message is displayed. I realized there is no SBF for 2.3.5 but this doesn't matter to me anyways as I CANNOT access RSD mode at all. All i can access is fast boot only.... trying to enter recovery or rsd mode makes phone just power off.

That being said i cannot do the steps listed here: (never mind can't locate link at the moment)

but it was the method in where you flash the SBF for the electrify and then get it to work on sprint and then flash another file to get it back to 2.3.5 locked etc. Problem is that since i cannot get it to successfully enter rsd mode anymore i canot also use rsd lite to flash anything over to the phone. I'm stuck with fastboot only with the moto-fastboot.exe as my only option.

What are my options other than what i have already used? I'm kinda stuck. I've read it was not that easy to brick a photon but i am not sure that is totally true (well speaking literally in terms of "bricked")
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
you can try wiping the system, data and cache partitions from fastboot. might help. no idea really. it's a good alternative to the recovery since you can't get into it. then maybe you can reboot and get into rsd mode and flash the electrify 2.3.5 sbf and unbrick!

Did u unlock the bootloader?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
Hi guys, so I've been playing a lot of games lately and I would like to try and use a controller. I have Xbox and my uncle has a bunch of ps3 ones. I was wondering if it does work, and which of the two would work best. Thanks! Oh, btw, Shadowgun Deadzone beta is mathematically awesome!!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Five0nIt:
Ps3 controller will work. Xbox 360 will not. 360 remote has no Bluetooth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
This is true, there is also an app on the market as well as a program which tells the controller to connect to your phones Bluetooth Mac address instead of the ps3 Mac.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Motionjoy. Use it on my PC and Mac to connect my ps3 controller via Bluetooth. I've only used the controller with my phone via USB and it was fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] enoch861:
A wired PS3 or Xbox controller will also work as long as you have a USB OTG cable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whipps:
I have the OTG Cable, but Xbox 360 still wont work. No PS3 controller to test.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whipps:
I found out why it wont work. My controllers are wireless, so I'm using a plug and play cable which will not work. That sucks :(

Yes you can flash CM 7 without a problem check out this guide that will tell you how to root your Droid 1 if you haven't already and how to install the latest 7.2 Stable version of Cyanogenmod and google apps (Here is the latest gingerbread ones). For now I would stay away from any ICS ROM's for the Droid 1 while it's nice to see ICS running on our phone they aren't really meant as daily drivers, and don't have everything working correctly.

Hey guys, I haven't been keeping up to date with the development of our Motorola Milestone recently, it's been almost 3 or 4 months since I last visited here.

So yesterday, I was just checking what's new and it seems our Milestone has started a new era of development with the 2ndboot! I'm not a developer or expert of any kind so I'm not sure what this does, but from what I've read, all I know is that this is a good thing for our Milestone :)

Anyway, I'm still running CM 7.2.1, I have FuFu's Minimod OpenRecovery v0.08 and want to upgrade them both to the latest versions. The thing is, I'm confused by the instructions, I have no idea what the swap config thing does, apparently we have to partition our SD card in order to work with the latest CM 7.2.4 or something, and apparently the rom comes pre-packed with a custom kernel so I'm not sure if I can just flash it just like usual or is there a special step to it etc.

As for the recovery, there's FuFu's OpenRecovery;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091787

As well as this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1897048

So i'm not even sure which one to use. Currently, I'm using FuFu's MiniMod v0.08 so simply updating to v0.22 seems straightforward, but then there's kabaldan's post on that recovery for 2ndboot so I'm confused by which one I need......

Lastly, there's this swap config thing I was talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951983

So ya I'm not sure what to do.

Can anyone please post some simple instructions? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrvek:
Fufu's minimod is based on kabaldan's 2ndboot OR which fixes writing to some sdcards, has battery charging... so it sould not make a big difference (fufu's recovery also has touch interface, etc). You can use either or try them both to see which one suits you better.

To update CM7 you simply Apply update in recovery. Then reboot ;) (cm10 requires full wipe and an ext partition to be present or it won't boot)

The script allows you to configure swap file size (for now) and enable startup script to start swapping on boot. Don't use too high swap partition size or swap file size (this will probably require some experimenting). Or use zRAM/compcache (in cyanogen settings) to use part of RAM for swap. Or go without swap (again, will need some experimenting to see what configuration gives best results)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] chaoscreater:
Hi mate, thanks for your reply!

Yup I know about the basics of flashing/updating a rom from the recovery, but what I was asking in my question was about those specific steps (like creating the ext partition that you've mentioned, as well as the setup for the swap configuration). The previous versions didn't have this so flashing/updating was pretty straightforward. But now, we need to to these specific steps in order to make the ROM flash or work successfully on our phone, so I'm not sure how to do it.

I know what ext partition is, but how do I create one? I've seen many instructions out there but I'm not sure they work specifically for this ROM, is there a particular size I need to create, etc etc?

Same goes for the swap configuration, what's the recommended setting that most people use without any problems?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] deys:
No need to partition

I have been updating without changing anything like partition. Its working fine just apply the update thru recovery... as a matter of fact I have not even switched to 2nd boot recovery... :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] -FuFu-:
i try to hold my MiniMod OR up to date, so if nadlabak released a update of 2ndboot OR i merge it in my MiniMod OR

if you want to create ext/swap partition on your sdcard, you can just use my MinoMod OR, i include there a new menu called SD Tools, there you can resize the sdcard, so no data will be lose.

but safety first ;) befor lose some data create a backup from the sdcard

in sd tools menu i also include my latest 98swapon script, it activate the swap partition an cm7/10 if there a extra partition, if not it creates a swap file to use for swap

I love how my Nexus 7 is able to charge my phone very quickly. Do you use the N7 charger on your Gnex without problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
your other thread you started asks about your phone smelling like burnt plastic. maybe you should use the charger it came with and see if it still does that

I don't use the N7 charger on my phone regularly. I used it last time I went on a trip because the original was at the house.

should be okay. your n7 charger provides more current than the standard gnex charger. the phone's charging circuitry will only draw in as much current as it can take without damaging itself.

I been using my old HTC charger for my galaxy nexus on an off for the last 12 months with no problem, I never heard of anyone damaging their phone using other phone chargers that fit, if you lose your charger an buy a generic charger they work the same way without needing one made by Samsung, I know most phone manuals will tell you to only use charger supplied with phone but they always says that an rather you get a replacement through them.I also use to lend my gnex charger to other people at work who owned HTC phones all the time an they have no problem with it.

It should be fine, as someone else stated earlier, the N7 charger is capable of supplying more current, but in simple terms it's a "suck" rather than a "blow" ;)

The devices will all have regulator circuitry in to prevent damage.

The other way around is tedious (charging the N7 from a GNex charger...zzz)
