Did I mention my Wimshurst Machine (so 19th Century) but great for that moment when the battery goes flat.

Oh and my new project is to find a way to greatly extend battery life so the old Wimshurst Machine becomes obsolete on my travels. As you will see below I can manage to charge myself up ok, just can't quite mange a slow voltage controlled release into Hermes tends to disappear in a blue flash when I shake hands with anyone (perhaps a large capacitor is the answer.)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jasjamming:
nice vandegraff mike,

the problem is, it creates thousands of volts, but merely any amperes. it would take for ever to charge the 1350mah battery.

You should maybe try a jacobs ladder. we just finished building one. you cab place the hermes in between the spark of the two electrodes.

the hermes will receive one hell of a 'shocking' charge.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Listen after 3 hours on the Van De Graaff you don't really care about anything anymore!!:(

And.... so... er......you don't think it'll work then??

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jasjamming:
ok mike,

this is what you need to do.

fly to melbourne and visit science works (http://scienceworks.museum.vic.gov.au/about_us/lightroom.asp)

our university has a high voltage theatre there

ask the exhibition operator to place your hermes in the path of the lightning strike (2 million volts).

If it survives, then you have atleast 3 years usage without recharge.

Okay my original Cid is H3G__106 and I'm super Cid now, I downloaded htc 001 nandroid backup and changed my Cid to htc 001, as well looked for updates but the update fails in philz.

I need the newer firmware for the new viper rom. (4.4.3 base).

How can I get it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
OTA ZIP COLLECTION
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shebee:
I assume I then need to use the h3g 106 one since the htc001 didn't work. Problem is I have 401.5 and there is no update for that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Did you try to convert your device to international? MID and everything changed to International version? I'm not sure what the MID is for your device but if it's different than 0P6B10000 (International WWE) then it had to have been changed as well before you can convert to WWE version.

401.5 ? For what, 1.54.401.5 ... 2.22.401.5 ?

If you don't want to convert to International, rather go back download your backup from the collection thread and update your device to newest firmware from there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shebee:
I only changed Cid nothing else. Is there a guide on how to fully convert to international edition?

Atm I'm 1.54.401.5

Problem is the stock thread doesn't have philz recovery backup for h3g 106 1.54.401.5
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
The guides that I saw are for changing AT&T into Developer Edition or [GUIDE] S-OFF REQUIRED!! full conversion of GSM m8s to dev edition

Even though it's converting to a developer edition the philosophy behind it is the same when you change to WWE International version. Just use the correct backups, firmwares, MID and CID.

In step 1 you'll follow the thread and use the code for the HTC_Europe MID (0P6B10000).

For step 2 you'll just use HTC__001 as as the CID

Step 3 you'll grab the nandroid backup + stock recovery for the WWE International version (x.xx.401.x ) Rather use an older version like 1.54.401.5/10 and do updates from there, it'll be easier if you don't want to manually flash firmware and OTA's.

If you continue the way he has it in his guide then you'll get the firmware from the OTA collection thread(Just extract it from OTA.zip) or you can get firmware for device from mike1986's Androidrevolution.org

It's for a different device but the idea is the exact same.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shebee:
Basically I just change Cid and mid, then I'm basically converted?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
The BIGGEST problem is no such thing as h3g 106 1.54.401.5 in this world :rolleyes:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shebee:
Umm I got H3G__106 CID and 1.54.401.5 (through venom) soo. What should I do...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
1.54.401.5 is old Venom ROM version no.

H3G__106 firmware is : 1.54.771.9 (for 4.2.2) and you need the updated firmware 2.22.771.5 to run Venom 4.4.3

So download the OTA 1.54.771.9 -> 2.22.771.5 thanks [MENTION=5570856]houstie[/MENTION], open it with 7-zip, extract out the firmware.zip and flash that in RUU mode.

Then reflash Philz recovery and install latest Venom ROM ...done
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
And placing the correct firmware/rom on it. You are S-OFF though, right? I didn't see you mention it so I'm just basically running on an assumption here? :confused:

Why not. Twrp is not "better" than philz and vice versa.....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
If you want ViperOne, you'll want to switch to TWRP. It's on the OP on their thread.

Also, the super id I use is 11111111. Try that and see if it works.

Sorry I didn't quote you Mr Hofs, but I'm not sure how to yet on tapatalk.

CWM Recovery

Upon attempting to backup or restore from within recovery:

"Can't mount/data!" or "Can't mount /sdcard"

Do I have any options without resorting to ADB, or is there a recovery compatible with encryption?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Darke5tShad0w:
My understanding is you can't.

The encryption makes you unable to do this. To backup you need to boot into the phone and copy your files manually to your computer.

Also this is not the Verizon s3 area.

I am currently using Gravity Screen on the Nexus 5 to emulate some of the features that are present on the Moto X. One feature in Gravity Screen that I don't remember mentioned with the Moto X is auto locking the phone when it is laying on the table or leveled surface. Is this present in the Moto X natively? What other features are present in Gravity Screen that is different or absent from Moto X?

[ONE Accessories] 0v3rl0rd:
Those metal bumper cases fit "perfectly" on the phone itself. With "perfectly" I mean "the bumper even has a tiny screw to mount the case on the phone, because the aluminium cannot be easily folded".

That being said, IMHO, for a phone of this dimensions: if You cut out a bumper from a TPU (which is really flexible on the SIDES of the phone, because of its length) it can fall out really easy.

Anyway, keep us informed if You do it and how it goes :)

Use winrar/7zip or whatever and open the 'systemui.apk', 'framework.apk', and or 'secsettings.apk' from your rom zip file and change the icons in the res folders. Depending on your rom and lcd density settings they can be in any of the res/drawble folders.

since I bought my T520 I noticed its very slow reaction when I try to wake it up from standby. Doesn't matter if I push the HOME or POWER button. Maybe it's one or two seconds that the tab needs to wake up... sure it's not a "long" time but it s*cks! :mad:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dev50:
Hello everyone

This is my first post, and I am a slight noob, so please bear with me.

I would like to flash my XT910 with a cyanogen mod. I have flashed the device before, to EU jellybean 4.1.2 (952.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU).

However, I now cannot get into recovery mode. The Orange motorola start screen comes up, and then a dead android with a red triangle with an exclamation mark comes up. I cannot get further than this.

I have tried flashing a custom recovery using clockwork and TWRP. I have tried ROM manager, BMM, Rom Installer, etc. all to no avail.

Please can you tell me how to fix my recovery partition so i can flash?

Also I have rooted the device using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2298408 , which seems to be successful.

Thank you for any help!

but thanks for this file ya!!!:D:good:
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
FTF files are regular ZIP files. Open it with 7-Zip/WinRAR and you'll find some .sin files inside (.sin is a proprietary format used by Sony). Some of these .sin files (like system.sin) can be decrypted by Flashtool by going to Tools => Sin Editor => Extract data. This will leave you with an .ext4 file (like system.ext4). This file can be mounted and edited directly if you're on Linux or you can view and extract its contents by using ext2explore or another similar tool on Windows...

TomTom 6

I used TomTom 5 and now Version 6 with no issues at all. I've seen co-pilot live 6 up and running and I'm very impressed with that too, but TomTom has never let me down before, so I'd recommend that.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] icemantwilight:
Tomtom 6 seems to do the job.. expensive though, very old maps in some cases, people in the US have been *****ing about it doing silly things.

Here in australia though, no problems so far. Although I'd like a map update to tell it of some local changes..

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Teo2005:
Best GPS software depends a lot on your location; because of it's obvious purpose, the most important things are area coverage and maps quality, then comes the interface, POI management and so on... Tried TomTom Mobile and iGO and stuck with the latest, because the maps are far better and precise (in Romania where I live).

For off-road I use GPSDash, it has all the features some might need + the posibility to create user maps.

Entire USA in 1GB microSD w/ OCN5

Any body tried OnCourse Navigator 5 on their TYTN? I think this GPS software blows TomTom away w/ seamless USA fitting in 1GB microSD. ETA,elevation,speed displayed in 3D mode, map refresh rate of 4fps compared to the usual 1fps with the other usual display-(like time and next street to turn)

I just hope it is compatible with the Tytn...

Try iGo Europe 2006 (http://www.i-go.com/en/products/iGO_2006_SD/screenshots.php). VERY FAST and has less problem than TT. It also has better graphics.

The downside is that the POI listing sucks. If I search for McDonald's around my current location, it'll list those from 100 meters to 50 kilometers! The software enough to know I won't drive that long from my current location just to get a fries. :D

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:

try mapopolis

mapopolis has a free demo. at 99.00 it is cheaper too.

I've been using it for a year on my harrier, and now on my 8525. Works pretty well on both.

the software is free to download. you pay for the maps only. to download the app, go to demo maps and the first step is downloading the app. the demo maps are short lived, but full function. I think you can keep downloading them over and over when when they expire.

I'll give OnCourse another vote. Hands down EXCEPTIONAL, but, i must admit, i only use it on my dell axim. I lost the DVD so i can't load it on my 8525. but if i could, i'd do it in a heartbeat. the GUI of OnCourse surpasses stand-alone gps' i've seen in action. check it out...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thedogger:
iGuidance v3.0.1 is awesome. Voice prompts are better than my built in 2006 Honda guidance system. Maps are very accurate and up to date. Only drawback is you can't put the whole U.S. on a single 2GB card. But you can pick what states you want, and narrow down the size quite a bit. Runs nicely on WM5, and just tested this weekend also works on WM6. The price is right too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RemE:
Interesting news about iGuidance 3.1 comming soon. I live near them, beta'd the 1.0 version and have been a happy user ever since, I was active on GPSpassion for a while and tried about 5 progs, Mapopolis, Destinator, PMN, CoPilot and iGuidance is best overall for me.

The only problem is that ver 3.01 has some issues with WM6 in that the prog has auto zoom display issues and will close if you touch a menu button while under way driving. If you touch nothing it works fine, but it's in need of a tweak for WM6. I've tested with Black 2.0 and 2.5 with the same issue.

I contacted iNav and they told me that WM6 dosen't exist for PPC's, only smart phones. I assured them that it does exist and that there will be many PPCs and phones out soon with WM6 Pro on them. I sent them the links to here and suggested they try Black Pro to get a jump on the future. They replyed several times and just don't seem to want to believe.

Hopefully they've looked into this more by now, I did this 2 weeks ago with Black 2.0 release.

I think I'll give OnCourse a go, sounds interesting. It works with WM6??

One other thing, on GPS receivers, Holux makes a golf ball sized bluetooth GPS (GPSlim239) that plugs into the cig lighter. I got one for something like $60 on Ebay, plugged into the rear accy socket in our car that never gets used. In normal use with this car now my 8525 acts just like it had an internal GPS, no batteries, no GPS mouse flying around the dash, just whip out the phone and start mapping, it's the best. I also carry a tiny Holux (GPSlim240), for travel, rental cars etc.

Edit, I looked over OnCourse Navigator and it looks like you must use their preloaded memory card?? That's no good. One can't load the data they want onto their own microSD card?? Does anyone know for sure??
