True indeed, this thread is not specifically dev related, but I find it to be very helpful and informative for those of us that are flashing these roms, gives the user an better idea of what to choose from when looking for a good eclair duplicate. And most users, like I, hardly ever visit the discussion board because they are so busy checking the dev forums for new releases and updates. Therefore I find this thread to be placed in a perfectly good position due to to its purpose. MODS please consider before moving.
[G1 General] ilaf0106:
Yay! Somebody finally picked up my idea koo well

lets see which rom is the best :-)
[G1 General] pychobj2001:
This should be reset tho every like week or so, cause constant changes happen and one gets crazy awesome over night..so you should have in the title sometimes (I reset this poll on 1/27) so ppl no to see new results...

I use Supert@tmel Eclair 2.1, with spanish kernel, this is the faster 2.1 ROM for Dream and Sapphire.

I´m waiting for a new update, with N1 features and G1 Dream full working.

[G1 General] renmet:
Nice Idea, this poll.

But, i think, there should be also a Poll for the Functions needed, not only which Eclair ROM...

So, for me the Killerfeatures are:

WLan/WiFi working

Bluetooth working

Exchange Active Sync working (including Contacts, Calendar, E-Mail)

Sound working (also with Navigation App like Sygic, nDrive, ...)

Not so urgent, but would be nice:

Google Sync working

Tethering WiFi/USB working

Browser with Flash Support working

Camera working (Pictures & Video)

Video working

as much as possible free system memory ;-)

Of course my respect for all developers, you do great work!

I'll try ~ all Imagereleases, but i stay at the moment @The Original Rogers (modification from kb7sqi). I think it's the only one with working complete ActiveSync/BT/WiFi/Sound.
[G1 General] javolin13:
I like your idea, it's good to always update ratings based upon how certain ROMs enhance faster or more frequent than others.
[G1 General] chim4ira312:
hey javolin i really think u should add jubeh's 2.1 AOSP ROM to the polls, its really something great, best eclair ROM i used to date.

[G1 General] javolin13:
I would like to add different ROMs to the list, I don't think I can edit the poll once it's posted though.
[G1 General] javolin13:
pretty good turnout with the voting... I think these voting ratings will also help devs in a comptetive state as well... Granted there is the "sharing is caring" attitude, but I'm sure nothing feels greater then having a large fan base that supports your rom :)

Yeah, and I think the link will expire today, then no one will see it. I thought that if it was updated every week or so it could be helpful for people trying to decide, but it won't be helpful if they can't see it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chaoscreater:
Has anyone tried using SKTools to make a full system backup?? The size of the full backup should be somewhere around 30Mb+.

Anyway it takes quite a while to make a full backup of your whole system, and the weird thing is when i try to restore the full backup, it took significantly LESS time, it was really fast, so i was wondering if it actually restores everything because it was fast and that seems abnormal to me......the phone did restart twice but still, it was a quick restoration, so i'm not sure if it's normal.....

I've never tried this before so i don't know if my SKTools is having problems or not.....but a 30mb restoration shouldn't take less than 3 minutes to restore, it should take longer.

Plus, some of the programs aren't registered, if it's a full system backup it should restore their registrations right??

And lastly, the full backup is in the format of .asb.exe, and the file name is usually the date of when you made the backup, so e.g. 27012010.asb.exe

Well, when i click the file, it doesn't run, it has the same icon as the SKTools Backup option, so it should start with SKTools, afterall that's the app that made the backup, but it doesn't run. I had to launch SKTools and choose SKTools Backup, and then restore the backup. Is this suppose to happen??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Well, you should expect the restore to be a lot faster than the backup because all of the files are being written to main memory (hint: do a benchmark and compare main memory vs. storage card memory write speeds-it should be 10X or more faster).

Sometimes it's a little buggy; I did a few restores recently, and clicking on the .exe didn't open up sk tools-not sure why. Also, whenever I go to the backup tool and check boxes for things I want restored, and then select 'restore marked', it doesn't work. It will just sort flash into the wait-screen for a few seconds, then nothing gets restored. The only way the restores work for me is if I do a long press on the individual backup files in the backup tool and then select 'restore' individually.

It should be obvious if the restore worked or not, though. I mean, did it, lol? Was everything restored? Three minutes or so is plenty of time to restore your stuff, I would think. If it ran through the two soft resets, then I would say you are good to go. Only do the restores after a hard reset, and you can also skip customization to speed things up (do a soft reset immediately after the screen-alignment step, when the '3 seconds to customization' pop-up appears). All of the customization stuff gets stored in the backup file, so there's no point in going through it twice.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chaoscreater:
ya that's what i do as well and i'm having the same problem as you do. At least now i'm sure it's not just my SKtools having this problem....

and yup i use SKtools to restore everything after a hard reset, most of the stuff seems to be restored fine, like my contacts and favourite people contacts are all setup, all the tabs i rearranged on touchflo3d are correct, mostly everything is but some registration for certain apps aren't. Ah well i guess i'll just take it that it restored properly, i can do the registration myself.....

thanks for ur reply btw, appreciate it :)

[General Questions and Answers] sifaan:
Hi all!

I just started using the Acer F1, and am using SPB Mobile Shell.

On my earlier device (HP 614), the battery charging indicator (when plugged in) showed a green arrow as well as the current charge level.

But on the F1, it keeps changing from 20 to 40 to 60 to 80 to 100.

(This behaviour is mirrored in the power settings; where the earlier phone showed the charge level as static whereas F1 has an animation).

Is there any way to fix how this is displayed (to be static)?

Thanks

[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
I bought yxplayer, only to have it be very jittery playing AVI files.... So I ended up using Doubletwist to convert and sync the videos to my N1 and this works flawlessly.

However, if Coreplayer comes to the N1, this will indeed be awesome. I was using it on my HD2 work phone, and its top notch, I'd pay double the Winmo version for it if it was to come out on Android! :D

I have an archos 5 internet tablet with android 1.6 and archos has their own hardware accelerated video player its ridicules it plays pretty much every video formats including 720p mkv and 720p youtube videos, and most audio codecs including ac3.

Wonder if someone here could figure a way to port it to the N1.

You can download the firmware/ROM free on their website

also the archos has a 4.8 screen but runs at the 800x480 as the N1

and its specs are lower than the N1

so if it´s true that the upcoming htc bravo will support divx out of the box because of the included nexplayer, it should be portable to the n1 i guess...

[Nexus One General] lbcoder:
There is actually no such thing as "DivX".

What they are selling is actually H.263/MPEG4-ASP and using a BAD VALUE FOURCC.

As a result, ALL players can play so-called "DivX" files as long as you fix the fourcc and package it in a sensible container (i.e. 3gp or mp4). No transcoding is required unless the video uses a bitrate or resolution that is just too far out of the devices specifications to decode.

Repackaging is trivial -- you can just run the files through ffmpeg with -f option to set a sane fourcc and setting the audio and video codecs to "copy".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] berrywr:
I'm aware that the new stock TM Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade has a program on it called Mobile Backup. On the ROM I'm using now I have PIM Backup. Specifically what I'm looking for is how to backup email settings without having to do it every time I flash the device. I'm also there are ways to create your own cabs, I assume XML; but I am far from having the expertise to do this from scratch myself. I get that most of these programs will save my contacts, messages themselves but it is the settings itself though I'm a reasonable guy if a program does it all I'm not going to complain; any ideas?

Hi, I'm fairly new at developing android. Im having the hardest time making a virtual sdcard. can someone please give a some tips or a walkthrough. i've read all the how to's n googles dev forum.

ive gotten to the point where im in cmd.exe on windows

i opened the mksdcard.exe

the when i go to type in mksdcard 64M sdcard.iso

it says its not recogized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

CAN ANYONE PLZ tell me whats going wrong. im so anxious to start deving for android!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highvista:
It sounds like the directory containing the Android command line tools isn't in your path, so the mksdcard program isn't being found. You'll need to edit your PATH environment variable and add the "tools" directory location to it. The "tools" directory is in the Android SDK directory on your computer, at the same level as the "platforms", "docs", "add-ons", and other such directories.

More details can be found on this under the "Download and Install the SDK" section of the Android developers website at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
[General Topics] THE-COPS:
Is it me, or has there been a huge lapse in development of console emulators for WM OS? Even updates of any emulator seems to have lapsed for a long time. There hasn't been any new updates or releases on many for several years. I'm not complaining, I just want to know why everything seems to have almost come to a halt. That and most of what is out there is either extremely buggy or doesn't work on many newer devices. Take a look at Pocket Coleco for example. yeah I know that is an ancient console dated to the early 80's. But, that was one of my favorite systems way back when...and well... Pocket Coleco just don't work right at all. The sound is totally screwed up and the controls don't work on many games. I'm sure P.C. worked very well on PPC's way back when WM 2002 etc was the current standard.

Any comments on this?

I'm a pretty much clueless when it comes to Linux or Android. I want to help the community as much as possible and want some advice on good literature for learning Linux and ultimately Android developing.

I have no previous experience with programming but am a well above average windows user. (kinda pathetic, I know.)

I thought this might be a good topic to start since alot of us seem to be pretty useless seem to want to contribute.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Developer.Android.com is a good place to start out if you are looking at the "how stuff works" - though if you don't have a clue how to program it will be over your head. Take a look over at geekfor.me - this site is hosted by Flipz one of the ROM devs here(Fresh Rom).

If you want to learn Linux, grab an Ubuntu or Mint ISO from their websites and burn it to a disk. then boot into the disk and run it "live". It's a little slow running off a CD rom drive, but better than isntalling on to a drive if you don't know what you are doing.

Most important thing to learn about this phone: HAVE FUN!

Good to see you've installed a Linux OS on your computer... that will help the most with learning how it works.

Experiment with it. Don't be afraid to break it and when you do break it (you will break it) learn how to fix it.

That's how you'll learn the most.

My favourite resources when first learning Linux were:

- to google "<topic name or what I want to accomplish> linux howto" ;)

- irc.freenode.net #linux (you will probably get flamed a bit but it's a great channel to just read and watch/listen in)

Connect with very active and very focused Linux communities (and Android communities... like XDA ;)) and you'll be able to glean a ton of good information, even if it doesn't make sense at first.

Moving to mobile office soon, so I am more interested in Hermes surfing. Also go cheap unlimited data plan (SGD10 pm).

Have tried PIE, Opera Mobile, Opera Mini, SkyFire

Impressions (typical usage - look up location on www.streetdirectory.com.sg):

PIE - cannot display picture properly

Opera - runs out of memory!

SkyFire - Nice & snappy - but drains battery (even when suspended).

Opera Mini - so far the most workable.

2 major problems are:

1. Memory limitations - either errors or cannot show pictures.

2. power drain - Noticed that Opera and (especially) SkyFire drains the battery like crazy.

- Have to remember to EXIT browser before suspend!

Any tips for a low power, low memory footprint browser for Hermes?

Looks like all future developments are targetted at the new devices with plenty memory & CPU power!
