Silly me ,it isn't a feature of the ROM but a feature of the app that i restored ''Any.DO tasks''. Great software and I simply love this feature . Sorry guys for being so negligent and wasting some precious time rather than spending it wisely in the right direction. Thanks again !
[HTC One S] pnut22r:
I'm new here. Phone is great, s-on is lame.

How do I restore from a backup without the boot.img?

So I want to restore from backup, how do I do that? What's the process?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
You need to flash the boot.img that goes with the rom you are restoring.
[HTC One S] pnut22r:
Can I use flash gui app to flash boot.img, then do a restore? After wipe?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya that should work fine.

Does anyone know what the new TWRP specs are? I didn't see a changelog on their website. 2.4.0.0 was recently released and 2.4.1.0 was released today. The website, http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/131 , states that off mode charging is broken, but in the viper thread users are saying that its fixed. Does anyone have any clarification? regardless, i now have 2.4.1.0 on my hox+. tia

The custom kernels in the dev section offer decent battery life.

I'm a wifi user mostly and I get @5.5 to 6 hours screen on time with lite gaming and browsing (this site all day lol).. i do Undervolt by a total of 150mV too... I recomend Harsh's kernel personally.

Underclocking the CPU is not worth it imo because it just makes other cores go online quicker when more power is needed... though it may help a small bit.

other usual tips..

use low screen brightness

turn off google now

turn off gps location

only sync stuff you really use, turn other syncs off (i have just gmail,contacts,browser synced)

turn off nfc if not using

make sure to use the open recent apps button and swipe away all apps when putting the phone down for a while (this really helps with stock kernel because of the wakelocks)

edit.. also after a week or so of charges the battery gets better.

For McDonalds fast food workers. Their jobs are the best example I can think of that are so easily replaceable by a machine that does it for next to nothing. Even the initial development, fabrication, and testing of a computerized system which would make the perfect double cheeseburger would cost less than a single day's employment costs.

I think it's more the first one. It's the old saying, if it's not broken, why fix it. Fast food makes more money then Hollywood and video games combined. Why risk that? Also, they want to protect their image. Can you imagine the bad PR if a big chain went completely automated in a short period of time. Also, what will happen if it breaks down? Will all restaurants have to have a full time staff of mechanics on stand by?
[Off-topic] bleaktrotter:
Equip each McDonald's with triple redundancy food lines? If one breaks you can schedule a team of regional mechanics to look at it on Wednesday next week.

The PR is an important factor and you mentioned a reputed company's brand if they did it in a short time.. But McDonald's could test it by creating a separate brand and hiring two individuals with the best customer service personalities. They would make money hand over foot because they only paid $40/hr for labor to produce a product with superior quality, less cost to the consumer, and in whatever amount of time it takes for the conveyor belt to make (half) a revolution.

I use McDonald's as an example.. My point is WHY isn't this happening across the board?

How to Remove Black Bars from a Video - Freemake Video Converter

kindleuserjp,

You need to use a Video Editing Software to remove the black bars, here is an example and a free package for you to download:

How to Remove Black Bars from a Video

September 4, 2012 11:35 am by Selin

Sometimes when you download a video and then try to reproduce it on your Kindle or TV, there appear distracting black bars on both sides or along the top and bottom of the video. It means that the aspect ratio of the video differs from the one of your TV.

The two most popular aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9. 4:3 is a standard TV format, while 16:9 is a format of high-definition TV and monitors. Some people bow to the inevitable trying to pay no attention to black bars, but others are getting mad. Well, in case you belong to the second group, read this article to learn how to remove black bars and prepare your video file for watching on your TV/home cinema.

Everything you need is a video file you want to watch and a program that will help you to remove black bars easily and without quality loss.

Freemake Video Converter

Let’s look at Freemake Video Converter. This version is available for download here.

Run the program and using “+Video” button add the video with black bars you want to cut. Then go to “File” – “Options” – “Black bars” and select “delete black bars”. Choose one of the video formats or devices in green bubbles at the bottom of the program (AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, Apple, Sony, Android etc) and, in case you don’t want to reduce file size or change anything else, click “Convert” to apply changes. Since my video was not too long it took me a couple of seconds to have it converted.

The pros of Freemake Video Converter are:

Free

Multiple language support

User-friendly interface

Many supported input and output formats

High conversion speed

High quality of output video
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindleuserjp:
unfortunately i don't think this is the answer.

Because the video itself is 16:9 already. in fact if i watch the video on my pc with monitor (16:9). There is no problem at all. Just onece if i transfer the video into my kindle, black bar stared showing. since kindle is not 16:9, even when the kindle is connected to 16:9 monitor, video is going to be shown as whatever the aspect ration of Kindle. There must be some video player which solve this problem simply.

Prelude

Hi Fellow XDAers I had decided to start Start a Project to Adapt The Ubuntu Nexus 7 Installer For The Tab 2 10.1" and 7" but seeing as the tab does not support fastboot the installer and possibly the OS image would have to be recoded so i decide to post pone the conversion of the installer program and Research if there was a more "Manual" Method...

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

Now:

After Researching I came across a section on the Ubuntu Site Label as ARM/OMAP Server Pre-installed-Build Images For ARM and OMAP CPU's.

Supported OMAP CPU's were as follows

OMAP 3 - Server / Desktop (Limited SGX Drivers) Image

OMAP 4 - Server / Desktop Images :victory:

Now the issue is Not Sure If Your Device recovery will be lost.. if a total device format and or repartion is needed or what Simple because the site states:

With the Ubuntu 12.10, ARM desktop images are now standard Ubuntu live images as known from other architectures. To install these images you should have a USB disk as target device.

dd omap4 image on to sd-card

plugin sd-card & usb-stick

boot & install on to usb-stick

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

Writing the image

You should write the raw image to a blank SD card. Make sure you're using at least a 4G SD card (desktop image is 2G uncompressed).

Linux

Steps:

Place the SD card at your host computer.

Make sure the SD card is not mounted (just umount it if needed)

Identify the correct raw device name (like /dev/sde - not /dev/sde1)

Run the following command to write it:

--(Removed Until I fully test it)--

(replacing omap4 and sde with the right values i.e. just omap for a beagle image.)

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

Second Instructions were for server based install but may easier for our device:

Copy the image to SD card

You should write the raw image to a blank SD card. Make sure you're using at least a 2 Gig SD card so that you have enough room for the image.

Steps:

Insert the SD card in your host computer's SD card reader.

Make sure the SD card is not mounted (just umount it if needed).

Identify the correct device name (like /dev/mmcblk0 or /dev/sdb).

Run the following command to write it:

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

Like I said I dont know where the block is that has the recovery in it or the download mode as if this will overwrite it not sure if we can revert it back to android so atm the project no is at a stand still if anyone has info on the block mapping and where recovery and download mode is it would help greatly.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] darkensx:
UPDATE: because i am not as familiar with the android/device block and file structure aside from whats visible i will post all the links i have at my current disposal hopefully someone can make heads or tails of it and get us ubuntu native

Link 1: "Graphics" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP/Graphics

Link 2: "Desktop Install" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OmapDesktopInstall

Link 3: "Server Install" https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Server/Install?action=show&redirect=ARM%2FOMAPHeadlessInstall

I suggest reading info in all 3 links as there is some key info in all three

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

I tried these by extracting the images for OMAP4, and

making a boot.img with kernel+ramdisk

making a system.img with the rootfs

flashed them and no booting (doesn't work ???) the bootloader left a blackscreen without executing the kernel

(maybe the image format is not supported and I had to use the android one)
