[Touch HD General] vdude_1:
I think I've decided. Considering on the HD I can run both WM and Android (not fully stable yet, I know but it's still there), I think I'll stick with the HD for another three months and then look to see what I can get then. If I don't see anything on Orange by then that I want to upgrade to, I'll look elsewhere.

I hope I don't change my mind again lol

Thanks to everyone for their input, much appreciated :)
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
What made you change your mind again? Was this after talking to your provider again and them not giving guarantees etc?
[Touch HD General] vdude_1:
Not at all, I didn't call them up until about 5 minutes ago. I think I'm most probably going to go with an Android HTC in 3-6 months time anyway so I'd like to keep hold of the HD as I've spent a lot of time tinkering and playing with regarding ROMs etc and would like to see how the windows scene progresses, even when I'll have my future Android phone.
[Touch HD General] vdude_1:
Just flashed back to standard Orange ROM and SPL, ready for pick-up after work tomorrow..wow, it looks strange!

Most of the times the jogbar, which is set to adjust the volume, doesn´t respond and the sound is really low... is there a way to control the volume using only the keypad?
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
if you use smart tool kit, you can make a MSCR and have SmartToolKit make a 'shortcut key' so that when you hold the key down long enough it runs the MSCR and lowers the volume

Hi,

I am an experienced Java developer with one iphone app under my belt.

I would like to learn android and was hoping someone could suggest which of the following books is the best to go with:

1. "Hello Android" by Ed Burrnette

2. "The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development" by Mark Murphy

Also cab anyone tell me if "Beginning Android 2" by Mark Murphy is essentially the same as "The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development"

Thanks,

Hi, I found a solution to see video on megavideo's site (thanks to a user on skyfire's community).

1) Open a video

2) Click the red Play button

3) When the red button disappears, click twice the address bar, so the new page stop loading

4) Wait the green Play button appears

5) Enjoy your video :o)

Thank u so much for ur kinly help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] dcarr622:
You MUST HAVE HARD SPL to flash cooked ROMs.

Check the "How to Flash Your First ROM for NOOBs" tutorial under the sticky in the Kaiser ROM dev forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Yup if you don't want to ruin your phone then HardSPL should be the first thing you flash. Which version depends on if you run into difficulties or not. Read the stickies its all in there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
symptom 1 - I get the above error message every day when I try to play an audio file in the music player. It is not the fault of the music file and a reboot always cures it.

Whenever this happens I also get:

symptom 2 - All ring tones default to a horrible ringtone. When I go into the ringtone settings whatever I press it always plays the same horrible ringtone.

It is as if something is locking out the audio player or audio codecs or something. I am using the Modaco 3.0 ROM.

Has anyone else come across this or has any answers, please?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alain.vincent:
same issue... different device Archos 5 - Android 1.6

I have rigorously the same issue...

I do not kill any process, i just leave the device... and then it returns to the bip/bip alarm sounds and the music can not play... the same exact message...

and same when i reboot it works again...

I am looking for a solution... it is not that bad... though never sure if my alarm will ring... but it is annoying...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virulento:
Hello!

I have the same issue, but I've detected that when I plug my phone to any

PC and activate the file transfer to the PC and later unplug the phone, if the file transfer mode

is not deactivated, the music player don't play music and my ringtones have reset to default.

As a conclusion, in some way when the phone is unplugged suddenly with

file transfer mode activated, the system cannot access to the mp3 files

in the SD card and it just come back to normal when I unmount and remount

the SD.

I hope that it can help with your issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDave:
I believe you are correct on this issue virulento. I had the same issue as described above. I rebooted my phone and the media files were played fine. Yesterday I rooted my phone and before had been transfering files. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcarl:
Clarification, please

I am a new (not rooted) Droid X user having left behind a Blackberry Storm.

I, too, am getting the "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file" message and seek a solution, or at least the workaround.

gadgetgaz - what do you mean by "reboot"? A simple power off, then on, or the "reboot" option via the recovery panel (accessed by holding the power and home keys)?

virulento - by "file transfer mode", what do you mean, "USB mass storage"? And how do you deactivate it?

TIA

drcarl
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegart:
The reboot works fine. @drcarl, just a simple reboot (off and back on, not the reset).

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=579328 (Read all tuto)

And go to this:

INSTALL

Copy the HTC 1.6 DRC83 & CyanogenMod ROM files onto your SD card then close the SD card folder on your PC & toggle USB-MS again, then disconnect from the pc.

Scroll to & select ‘wipe'->wipe data partition->CONFIRM

Scroll to & select ‘Flash update image->Apply sdcard:choose zip & select the HTC ADP file & let it complete (this will take a few min be patient). DO NOT REBOOT!

Scroll to & select ‘Flash update image->Apply sdcard:choose zip & select the CyanogenMod file & let it complete (this will take a few min be patient).

Once the flash is complete reboot phone (this will take up words of 5-10min+ be patient).

Once up & running on latest CyanogenMod connect to pc again & unzip the audio-resources.zip directly onto your SD card.

Good luck.

If you have a working default.txt, I suggest you not to change it with the one that is shown in the first post.

You've got to take into account that it uses a panel type = 3, and that's not true for every device (it's 0 normally)

[Touch Cruise Android Development] reg66:
just flicked back to the site for news on wm7. saw this post, can i just check...

this runs android (clicking the executable) without messing up/wiping wm rom. just equivalent to dual boot. boot the windows phone and then start android with no affects to original rom. exit android when you want, back to windows environment

is that right??

please don't bollock me for not having done any research, it's quite a simple question that i'm sure others would like to know quickly and easily

thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bbezja1:
you boot into windows mobile and run a executable file which loads android. after you turn off your phone (in any way) you boot back into windows, but you can not just close the android program and be back into windows - you have to reboot.

no info or setting in windows is deleted
[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
This Eclair build is way better than I thought. It's fast and responsive.

However I noticed some annoyances:

- The music player doesn't list songs into \SDCard\Music

- It often starts up and detects the network, but says it has no coverage (UMTS).

And veterans like:

- Sometimes, the device doesn't sleep.

- The modem application doesn't reconnect after an eventual disconnection.

Suggestions for installing android on polaris (only)

Hello all.

i am giving below my experience for Polaris only.

i have tried android roms of Myn, who has actually designed ROMs for HTC Vogue and Kaiser, but some are supposed to work for Polaris also.

while doing experiments, and learning the ropes, i managed to totally screw up the ROM in my phone and finally had to boot and install through the SD card only. WELL, AM GLAD THIS HAPPENED AND I GOT TO LEARN.

my suggestions for Polaris users:

before switching to android, there is a thread for installing dual boot option. that way you to keep both wm and android on your phone.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623792

after that, using wm file explorer, run haret on your sd card and install the android rom you want to use.

this way, your usb connection with PC also will stay.

i have still not checked all functions, but so far most seem to be working.

Regards

[Touch Cruise Android Development] SuperJMN:
Use some Linux Live CD (Ubuntu works OK). Be sure to make a backup of everything in your SD card. Partitioning may be catastrophic if you select the wrong drive or partition!

By the way, you will have to install it into the SD Card (Eclair) :)

If you have problems with battery drain you can try this default.txt:

set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage6_b
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=3 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 no_console_suspend board-htcpolaris-battery.battery_capacity=1350 clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 lcd.density=160 ppp.nostart=1 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000"
boot

with the kernel "zImage6_b" from this archive here: http://ponack.net/poly/suspend_update-9Jan2010.zip

Do not rename the "zImage6_b" to "zImage",just copy it on the sdcard with the default.txt above without deleting the old zImage.

I recommend that you backup your data.img file and default.txt from your sdcard to some safe place on pc before using this kernel to prevent loosing something if the data.img get corrupt.

If something goes wrong you can copy the previous default.txt and data.img file back to sdcard.

I had test this android eclair pack on my POLARIS100 and it works fine , before i was runnning cupcake on this and now the wifi is more stable and it's really fun to use google maps nav on this one in france .

For the problem of some calls where you understand nothing , i notice that on cupcake as eclair , when i reboot android , if i pass a call first it's ok else it failed , so each time i reboot my phone , i call my messagebox first .

Now i'm looking to how i can script this first call.

if once wifi failed, i see that you could erase calibrate file on sd and it will be ok for next boot .

for the battery , i think it drain faster than cupcake version but , is the battery capacity set in default.txt correct ?

Regarding SD card formatting: is there any good introduction to the topic? E.g. how many partitions are needed? Does it make sense to have a swap partition as well? How do I unpack the *.img files into the newly created partitions?

As I'm fairly new to running Android on my polaris, I was also wondering how to go about updating it. Can I just update the system.imgs and keep all configuration, installed apps and other user data?

Thanks for everyone's help, any hint is appreciated.
