[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamondX04HT:
Hi....need your help friends.

My friend plans to buy Hero for himself. So wanted to know whether is it possible to play mms or http video steams on Hero or android in general?

For eg: Core player plays mms video streams on windows mobile through 3G/WIFI. Do we have such a player/app for android?

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
Haven't tried it myself, but Dogaplayer is supposed to play both HTTP/RTSP streams
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpmg762:
Get yxplayer, it supports mms and rstp streams.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsiry:
yxPlayer supposedly supports mms streams .. but I could not get it to work properly..

instead get "Daroon" Player - works great - get it in the Android Market

Does anyone have the latest Google's Youtube cab? I tried to download it from m.google.com/youtube for my X1i but i get the message "Device Not Supported". Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] sopdogg:
Try using internet explorer vs. Opera. For some reason Opera isn't recognized while it works perfectly with internet explorer. Microsoft is good for something after all huh?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Diagrafeas:
That did it. Another thing is that you must choose your language to be English in order to choose in which language to download the file.

All you early adopters of the Euro HTC Hero, the one with the chin, now have something to smile about. A representative of Irish mobile operator Meteor has tipped of the guys at EURODROID that they received a notice from HTC that they should expect and update to Android 2.1 sometime in March.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
a) Very, very, very old news that Hero was getting a 2.1 update.

b) Old (and bad) news that we may have to wait until March!

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 160bpm:
It is bad to wait till march.. but it is good news that we get a update ;)

hope that the file transfer by bluetooth is possible then...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mobydeek:
uhoh... not sure if i can wait that long. the only problem is that i have the super-duper kernel that needs the goldcard downgrade method and it seems too overwhelming for the moment. damn.

guess i'll get my 2.1 in two months time! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Azure465:
Well, it just gets pushed forward one month at the time. Wonder if it will ever arrive
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
when it arrives, it better be worth the wait!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cymru:
Its actually not that difficult. Download the required apps and you can just breeze through the how-to in about 20 mins.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bdormael:
if you read the article well, it says we're gonna get 2.0, not 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kiwi89:
if you keep reading he updates it and adds that it will actually be 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] debuti:
little question here

These guys are unbelievable, they said that the update will be available in february, now it'll be in march last days, in march the would say that its delayed to june, and so on.

so i have a question, with the hero kernel sources and the android sources, why there isnt a full working aosp ROM out there? without sense and all that stuff that makes the device laggy. There is any kind of difficulty at this point?

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No one actually really said it was going to be Feb it was just a rumour. This source seems stronger however until HTC officially say something we will never know.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] docentore:
I am with the spoken provider and I wouldn't necessary believe in everything what they say. They are very bad with handling customer queries, this was given as an answer to few particular problems with Hero on Meteor network.

They were saying that it will be getting 2.0 but after some user said that there won't be any 2.0 update for Hero they came up with 2.1 in March. Go and figure it out yourself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruizit0:
loooooooolll oh god...

february...

or 15 february .. or 3q 2010 or march

or 2.1 update or 2.0 update ...

rumours.. just rumours...

hero isnt getting no new update from htc... stick to 1.5 or root it and install the customs 2.1 ...

dont dream people
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GXFX:
In July , hero will be 1 year-old device.

maybe , htc is just releasing rumors , and then they won´t update and release the hero sucessor ( i hope it´s fake , i love my hero )

sorry my bad english .

PS : This is what i think .
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
That's absurd! The leaked 2.0 build with SenseUI proves that they are working on it.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] booon:
They need updated HTC drivers to make everything work properly. until HTC release their 2.1 rom, or something is leaked, we can't have a fully working 2.1 rom.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 13oots2:
I can say with 100% certainty that the 2.1 ROM will released when it's released, if it's released:rolleyes: In other words, I'm not going to hold my breath.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GahhTheBig:
htc did this with diamond 1 :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ruizit0:
forget 2.1 oficial update for our hero's ... they are working on it with sense and whatever.. but is for the new upcomming devices... like new hero substitute...

this is all marketing...

hero will stick with 1.5

and they will launche 2.1 in newer devices ...

just to force you to buy a new device..

wait and see ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aziz831:
I hope thats not true...i have been eagerly looking forward to a perfectly working 2.1 on my HERO:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] salahag:
If HTC thinks as some of you guys say and not support their phones, I might reconsider buying an HTC phone again.

Simply because, as beautiful as the HTC Hero 1.5 ROM is, it's still lacking important features (like bluetooth file transfer) plus the old Market is slowly losing applications... etc.

So I expect from HTC to release any update, even a 1.6, I don't care!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dying4004:
GUYS.... its almost certain now that 70% chance is htc not releasing 2.1 with sense for hero. guys please look at what exactly going on. what month we started hearing rumours about its getting out? many of you were certain that it will be a x-mas gift. then it became middle of jan. then it became middle of feb. not its end of march. after 2 weeks it will become end of april. dont get mad at me. i am an owner of hero and i wont be less happy than you guys if htc releases it. but i aint just having faith on htc after all these happennngs. better stick with 1.5 sense or try 2.1 aosp roms. those aosp roms are fantastic.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Errr HTC itself said the hero will be getting the 2.1 update, through their twitter feed. And they have never said when it will be released apart from saying it will be in the 1st half of 2010. Its people being impatient that rumours start flying about when it will be released. And you have jumped on the bandwagon believing these people

sit down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bram77:
They would be stupid to not release a 2.1 rom. The Hero would become a even more popular phone. Sales would go up without them haing to create a new production line. So relative low investments and guaranteed profits. I seriously doubt they will NOT release 2.1 for Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
I'll tell you *exactly* what is going on. HTC announces that we will get a 2.0/2.1 update, but makes no promises whatsoever as to a specific date we can expect the update. What has followed has been endless speculation and rumours on a possible release date, mostly from people who are most definitely not in the loop!

However, we have seen an early version of the ROM (leaked 2.0 with Sense), so we do know that it is in development (or at least was). It would be a major embarrassment for HTC and its partner carriers if the finished update doesn't see the light of day, and personally I don't see that happening.

So it looks like we are getting a 2.1 update - just don't know when...

/Smirge
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] smetsjan:
They are probably waiting for 2.2 to get released somewhere in July...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nukleuzN:
Hmmm... maybe ur right?! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rammsky:
Seriously, if HTC is not releasing the update anytime soon, I'm gonna jump ship to another android-based mobile.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
it might be out after they release new phone to either let us buy new or just update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zain1612:
think might sell the hero in december/january to a snapdragon based phone
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
of course we get an update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BO7AMZA:
if htc wont release an update and launch new phone i will not buy another from htc and look for another manufacturer brand .I think many will do the same.

so guys what is the best android phone which is not an htc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xlxl:
iP

D i think
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
just based on the fact that the updates are not coming as fast as expected is not a reason in my opinion. The other manufacturers (android os) are not better. for example, the SE X10 due in a couple of months is coming out with android 1.6 LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
And the Galaxy is laughable as Samsung have said its getting to updates,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] clsifford:
hey folks. i'm new to this rom cooking thing. i'm using the Kaiser Kitchen. I've loaded a base rom into the folder and run the Begin command prompt. now i'm stuck. i have no idea what OEM/SYS items i can get rid of and what i need to keep. i'm just trying to build an extremely lite rom that has manila 2d with the weather under the clock on the home screen. but i don't want to go and delete something that i need, so i'm not comfortable doing any editing just yet. can anyone give me a breakdown of what this stuff is? or even point me in the right direction if it's already posted (which it probably is, i'm just not sure what to search for)? i'd greatly appreciate it. i'm enjoying this rom cooking quite a bit, but, like i said, i'm pretty new to this. i've never taken any classes or anything, so i don't understand some of the terms/procedures used on this site, so please use layman's terms if you reply to me. again, i appreciate your taking the time to help me out, even if it's just a finger pointing me in the right direction.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kaiserII101:
Hope it doesn't take you too long to read.

first off what's your base ROM (the ROM that you downloaded and put inside the BaseROM folder) and then I could tell you what to get rid of. By the kaiser kitchen you mean the one from the wiki correct?

I'm going to need more info on how you are putting the weather on the home screen (e.g. CAB, Package. etc.) and your BaseROM to tell you accurately what to do.

as for adding in that weather package, first make sure the manila version you are using is 2.x or more. I would say don't make a package out of the CAB (if that's what you are using to put the weather display on the home page). Instead go into the OEM folder and look for the OperatorPKG folder. Enter the OperatorPKG folder and look for a file named "config_operator.txt" (without the quotes).

Mine looks like this:

LOCK:Enabled

TSK: \WINDOWS\Htc.tsk

CAB: \WINDOWS\AMfix.cab

XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml

CAB: \WINDOWS\fixyoutube.cab

CFG: \WINDOWS\config_PT.txt

I'm positive yours will look different. Pay attention to the "CAB: \WINDOWS\"insert CAB file name here"

What you are going to do is take that weather CAB for manila and put it in the OperatorPKG folder. Now go in the "config_operator.txt" and add this string:

CAB: \WINDOWS\"name of the cab file you just put in the OperatorPKG folder, INCLUDING the .cab extension (ex: M2Dhomeweather.cab)"

After cooking and flashing the ROM and setting up your device it will auto install that CAB and you should be set to go.

Now once you tell me the baseROM you are using I can tell you what is mostly junk in the OEM folders you have.

Also in case you are curious.

In the "config_operator.txt"

A "TSK" represents a theme and will make the device load a certain theme.

A "CAB" (obviously) represents a CAB file and will auto-install the CAB file.

A "CFG" represents the next config.txt file and tells the device to look at that config file next.. There are 4 total in all used for different purposes but they all do the same thing more or less. In the "config_operator.txt" ALWAYS make sure the

CFG: \WINDOWS\config_PT.txt

string goes last. It will skip anything else after itself if you do not have it as the last string.

P.S. - Always get an opinion from more than one person :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
Using the above process you will be using 2x the amount of space .cab & install ;)

Also when things are cooked in they are faster accessible than via .cab install.

BTW, you are better off using visual kitchen.in that way you tick what u need and untick what you don't. If you find out that you needed it you simply tick it again...LOL!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] clsifford:
Kaiser:

by the way. i'm looking to cook a WM 6.1 ROM with:

blue galaxy theme, but with weather on the home screen, of course

bluetooth function

data connection auto config

manila 2d (dont need the customizer)

quick menu

quick gps

google maps

kaiser tweak

S2U2

BT enabled voice command

BTAudio Toggle (not the btaudio on/off but the toggler button that has the little headphones on the icon)

smartphone tracker

activesync

camera

opera 9.5

***prefer but don't have to have:

volume control, the one that is all black with the white volume bars running up and the vibrate and silent buttons directly underneath

there is also a contacts list that matches the above volume controls, black background with scrolling

wow! that actually looks like a lot now that i've written it out! i actually have all the cabs for the above mentioned items (except camer,activsync, volume controls and contacts list). i also have the cab for manila 2d with the weather on the home screen, but i haven't been successful in installing it WITH the home screen weather working, or even on the screen. i believe it's actually an add on. it's not the full manila 2d, just suppoesed to replace the clock with the flipping clock and add the weather under the clock (which it doesn't seem to do), so i think it may be about useless.

that's really about all i want in the rom. i'll most likely be using the HyperDragon IV rom as my base rom, since it already has the home weather. after that (and some more practice) i may try to learn how to take another lite or naked rom and add the home weather clock to it with manila. that's my goal anyway, to learn how to add it to a rom that doesn't already have it or manila. well, i'm off to download and check out that other kitchen. thanks again for the willingness to help me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kaiserII101:
You should probably ask the chef of this ROM for help I'm sure they would be more than happy to help you. They would know about everything in the ROM and would be able to help you the most. If not then I'll download Hyperdragon and look at it in the kitchen.

@off-hand question - yup.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] clsifford:
kaiser:

well, i think i'm going to download a stock WM 6.1 rom to practice on first. i'll see if i can't get in contact with the chef in the mean time. i got it off of the Sakajati website. not sure if that's going to make any difference in contacting the chef, but i'll see how it pans out. thanks again for your help.
[Touch2 General] Sjengie:
Hi,

I find the camera to be of a poor quality. A slight move will result in blurry pictures. Anybody knows any tweaks how to improve the camera?

Sjengie
[Touch2 General] unpocolocos:
I fully agree. Is there any tweak/prog./app. that lets you "autofocus" i.e.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Try with search functions for camera settings......but camera is indeed not great......so do not expect major improvements.. :(
[Touch2 General] Sjengie:
it is an improvement if i take a picture with 2 seconds timer. As such i do not have the problem of pushing against the screen while trying to hold the touch2 steady. pictures look slightly better now.
[Touch2 General] egolivar:
Yep! That's a real improvement but every time I do a soft reset, the timer is off.

Is there any registry tweak/app, to set the timer on by default?
[Touch2 General] Sjengie:
''HKML\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\General\CountDownTimer=1'' seems to do the trick.

it sets the timer default to 2 seconds

and still always for changes during camera operation

but always resets it to 2 seconds upon startup of camera

have a little more fun with Mega

Hi all,

Didn't find anything on this, hoping for some clarification.

Shell snippet(terminal on phone):

$su

#reboot

not permitted!

in short - reboot and reboot recovery commands do not work via terminal. want this ability for GScript.

i installed the super boot image from modaco, i've re-installed the superuser.apk and also ran the commands manually from /superboot/superboot.sh on the phone...is any one else having this problem or has anyone found a solution to the issue? please also note that i have in fact reflashed the superboot image twice now, still no resolve. :( halp!

i have the same problem -.-
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChainsDD:
Do you have the toolbox binary in /system/bin as well as a symlink named reboot pointing to it? 'reboot' is not a native command and you'll find that most (if not all) "shell commands" are actually binaries and shell scripts. Even something as simple as 'mv' (move) is a binary, not built into the shell. Ensure that you have a reboot symlink that points to toolbox. It's quite possible that your rom (or superboot) doesn't include it.

You can also download Quick Boot by Sirius Applications Ltd. From the market. It lets you reboot, reboot into recovery and reboot into fastboot, plus you can make shortcuts to each different reboot on your home screen. (market link)

I flash different roms so hope someone can ok this for any rom--not sure why not
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2736178:
Anything new on this? I am having the same issue with my HTC one. With busy box installed there is a reboot bin in /system/bin that gives the "Not permitted!" Message when ran from the phone.

Busy box installs reboot in /system/xbin and when you disable or remove the reboot binary in /system/bin it executes the one in /system/xbin however it does nothing unless you add a -f to the command' and all you can do is regular reboot (no bootloader or recovery)

Works:

/system/xbin/reboot -f

Reboot recovery command using adb shell on computer

Does not work:

/system/bin/reboot [anything]

/system/xbin/reboot -f recovery (boot loader,etc)

This stinks because rebooting to recovery from apps won't work

There must be a way to hack this into a working reboot recovery command
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roblxskye:
Ok
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodbath:
I'm having the same problem. I did notice that my system/xbin folder is missing quite a bit of the files as the system/bin folder, including the reboot file. I assume it doesn't need to mirror it exactly, but should it have the reboot file also? If not, should there be a symbolic link in the xbin folder to link the reboot file in the bin folder? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

By the way, I am rooted, boot unlocked, and s-off running the Android Revolution HD rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gain_Medium:
I had this issue now reboot works (in a way)

This might be naughty of me to bring up an old thread but others have done and its only a few weeks sincle last post...

Anyways I had this issue from what I have read it only happens to people to certain people on certain phones.

I was able to reboot though a mobile terminal emulator, ssh, and though the shell while in usb.

I noticed that only though ADB would it accept reboot (security reasons?) so I read a nifty article on using ADB though tcp and to make it more secure I used it though localhost since only I can use it.

here is the commands that I used:

stop adbd && stop adb && setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555 && start adbd && sleep 4 && adb connect localhost && adb reboot

It feels more like a work around but my personal goal was reboot my phone though a remote sms (remote terminal) and it worked within a shell so wohoo. I hope it helps someone and setting ADB to listen on usb is

setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1

I had to use sleep to make sure ADB started before I tried to connect... you can add reboot bootloader...etc..adb commands....

I guess you can make this into a file called myReboot.sh and link it to make it a "command"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theericgames:
My solution

To root, updated version of Android Gingerbread, from there, I downloaded the same version, but Japanese, walked into the boot, and updated to version japonsa from there to root nexus one and go.
