[General Questions and Answers] Jade Eyed Wolf:
One thing that has really pissed me off forever, is when people post videos on YouTube or wherever, but which were recorded incorrectly. By "incorrectly" I mean in portrait. Nothing looks worse than watching a narrow ass video with two fat black bars on either side of it, wasting space, and wasting my time watching a crappy video that would have been cool if the person recording the damn thing just turned their phone 90 degrees...

What I propose is a MOD to the camera app which includes a toggled feature to record videos in landscape, regardless of the device orientation. In other words, while the feature is toggled on, even if the user is holding the camera in a portrait position, the video being recorded will still be in landscape.

By doing this, users can still benefit from the comfort of holding their devices in portrait (because it IS easier to hold that way, especially when you're going one-handed), while recording videos which will show up properly during playback in landscape.

Thoughts?

I'm trying to install CLASSCY ROM on my R800at. First, through FlashTool I flashed the stock Generic R800a and then unlocked the bootloader via Omnius (I am able to get into bootloader mode now, and CAN flash boot.img). Then I flashed the stock R800at ftf. I rooted with DooMLoRD's zergrush, then installed ROM Manager and custom recovery.

I put the CLASSCY-ICS-1.0.0-R800A-AT.zip into the root of the SD card, but before I did that I had to make sure to remove all of the .DS_Store hidden files that resulted from the compression on the Mac. I used ROM Manager to do the flash, but I got the "Installation aborted." message. Pertinent part of the log follows:

I tried going into recovery without using ROM Manager and it still failed even after disabling assert check. I'm not sure how to proceed. Any advice?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SalmonOM:
I had a similar issue with my 800at and was never able to get Classcy working.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerC10:
Bummer, did anything work for you? I really only chose Classcy because it plainly said 4G still worked with it. But if 4G works with any other ROM that'd be cool too.

Oh I know that much, I've gotten into recovery from a cold boot before. I've tried both repeatedly pressing the vol down and holding the button down continuously, but recovery doesn't come up.

Is recovery tied to the kernel?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerC10:
Going back to the flash rom then kernel strategy, I repacked the zip - and I have a different (more positive?) error.

Entire Recovery.log File: http://pastebin.com/35Zb19yX

So uh, recovery thinks my device isn't an Xperia Play?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerC10:
That was interesting. I decided to flash the kernel first this time, and I repeatedly pushed the vol down button for a minute or so while free xperia logo was on the screen. Just before the logo disappeared (for a blank screen), it went into recovery. My mistake was that I didn't wait long enough to get into recovery mode, because it took much longer than the recovery did with GB. I flashed the ROM and it worked!!

Now I'm getting the cyanogenmod guy, but it's not going away. I left it on for a couple of hours and the little graphic, while animated, just stays on screen. It's so close I can taste it! But how discouraging. I feel like there's always just ooooneee more thing before I can get ICS on this phone. lol

You may have to edit the update script.... If you have a few lines that say "assert get prop" should be like 4 command lines.... Just remove those command lines... Then rezip it.... If you don't know how or where... I can help.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerC10:
Yeah, I was trying to find the update script last night but gave up and went back to flashing the kernel first. That actually worked because I guess the kernel came with cwm 6.x instead of just 5.x - ROM flashed in a breeze after I got into recovery with the correct kernel.

Still, I can't boot past cyanogen guy's crazy cool animation. The animation never freezes, but goes for hours.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
So the rom installed but just bootloops now... So interesting... Did you by chance clear data, cache & dalvik before installing?

I cleared dalvik only.

It isn't what I would call a bootloop, just some failure in the boot post.

Delete the MAC_OS folder then rezip.

I am so sorry. Late, I guess. But anyway that works to flash Cyanogenmod. I would recommend installing GooManager, hit menu button, hit Install OpenRecovery Script, and flash via the TWRP Recovery. I'll attach screenshots on how to install, but their from a S4, but the install process is no different.

DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!!

This method is basically same as the normal stock rom flashing tut, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.

1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" Prob, (Just Google that)

. 2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).

3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery.

4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.

5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.

6. You should be in Download Mode.

7. Now flash ur Stock rom via odin...

I had the exact same problem while flashing jellyblast v3 no recovery, download mode and stuck at boot logo. Here is the fix!!!

1. remove sd card and sim from your device

2. Switch on the device and Charge your device for 3-5 hours.

3. Now remove the charger and battery (It must be hot till now) wait for 5-10 seconds and re insert it again.

4. Now press (volume down + Power + Home buttons togather) now you should be in download mode.

5. Flash the stock rom via odin!!!!

I have tried this method I hope it will work :fingers-crossed::good::highfive:

What i mean is the lowest brightness and highest brightness could be modify by some control file,

So I googled forum. some one said there is arrays.xml file in framework-res.apk . but i didn't find it.

Does it mean that 4.2.1 changed the way to control brightness. ?

problem 1: auto brightness is too bright at night and little weak at sunlight

problem 2: auto brightness take too much power

problem 3: turn auto brightness off , the lowest brightness is still too bright to reading at night

Try screen adjuster. It's made to change the color mostly but will let you change brightness more as well. You can make the screen pretty dark. Can't speak to 4.2 but works on 4.1.2 and the app was updated in Sept as opposed to the beginning of last year.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] melbell:
I LOVE certain features of the stock keyboard (ie: the handwriting and the separate number row) but I'm having trouble teaching the keyboard new words. I tried it like it works in swype where you type it out once and then click it in the little suggestion row, and it SEEMS to work...but it actually doesn't.

Example: If I'm typing a text and I type a word it doesn't know and click it in the box, if I use that word again in the same text, or possibly even in another text sent soon afterword, it will suggest the word when I "swype" it. But then if I go to a browser and try to do that word in a search box it didn't actually learn it.

Is there any way to reliably teach this thing new words? The help and tutorials that come with the keyboard on the phone are less than impressive.

So far the handwriting and separate numbers make it worth it to use, but i'm growing tired of typing out melbell every time I do anything.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rackers:
Hello,

I really love the look of the Note and the ideas behind it but I am unsure about this vs Nexus. I was wondering if you guys could answer some of my questions?

1. Is the screen really that bad, all the reviews on the internet say it is a disappointment but is it? Or are they just counting pixels?

2. Can the S pen be used everywhere? For example, if I was doing this post a Note 10.1 could I have hand written it and if so is it worth hand writing it or just using an on screen keyboard?

3. I am worried that if I get the Note over the Nexus, that the Note will be left behind after all the models receive Jelly Bean. Do you guys think it'll get left behind?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GETCASHMONEY:
Check the multitude of other threads regarding this topic. I just bought one a week ago. All of my fears similar to yours quickly faded away. Yes, the s pen can be used everywhere, and yes it is amazing. It does suck waiting for jelly bean, but we will get it soon. Just know that even with ICS your tablet will do things no other tablet in the world can. Take the plunge!
