Hello all,

I tried to record a video in a club and the sound is thin and distorted. Any idea how to make videos like those on Youtube? Thanks.
[G1 General] JamieD81:
k well i tried to ext2 my sd card today so i could install a 2.1 rom

did the ext, phone no longer accepted my sd card.. im running 4.2.13

after that i lost 90% of apps that changed over to the sd inclucing settings/marketplace ect..

did nanoid backup restore, things are ok, though i cant install a theme, if i do it loses settings button in menu and everything.

question is, can someone give a little bit of a detailed instruction on how to install eclair from 4.2.13 with 4gb sd card.

would be appreciated thanks!

gettin tired of flashing 4.2.13 done it 8 times tonight tryin to get things to work!
[G1 General] jorge89:
First of all you should state which eclair rom your trying to flash, I haven't checked any of them out since I like to keep my phone "functional". Are there any out that have almost all the phone features working?
[G1 General] JamieD81:
havent tried flashing one yet as i got stuck with the partitioning of the sd card.

i wanna install

KiNgxKxlicK AOSP 2.1 [v1.3] [FAST] [STABLE] "Thanks Google" 01/27/10 5:30pm PST

hspl10.95.3000

cpld-4

radio-2.22.19.26I

thats where my phones at right now.

im not a newb to flashing roms, just kinda stuck with the ext2/3/4 and which spl is hardspl and such
[G1 General] jorge89:
When you mess with your ext partition and have apps2sd working its not going to let your phone work any more, just turn apps2sd off or change to a rom that doesnt use apps2sd before going to this 2.1 rom, that way your sd card won't be needed for the phone to work and you can get all your partitions set up for this rom
[G1 General] JamieD81:
can you suggest a good rom that wont deal with apps2sd?

sitting on 4.2.13 right now.

just wanna get 2.1 up and running so i can leave my phone alone. flashed and nanoided to much tonight to wanna keep it up

still isnt where i had it before..

theme just wont install over 4.2.13 anymore, and when it does, it only has advanced launcher*i dont use* and NO settings panel to clean cache and use reg home.

btw i did the ext2 via the sticky in Q&A

well my hermes is 2 years old (yes today it turned 2) and my battery seems to have lost its power. it just doesnt last long. my sister has been using it temporarily and the battery lasts only a few hours.

i've tried to turn off all the unnecessary programs using the task manager, the bluetooth, infrared and everything else but its not helping.

i oftenly get the red light when i charge it (failed charging) but it still charges.

do i need to get a new battery or can anything be done with this one?

PS: the only thing i havent done was to try to revert to the original rom but that rom is nowhere to be found.

No matter what i do, i can´t get the Navi Panel automatically start when i connect it with my car charger..

Settings are set to " Open Panel if device is in Car Mode " and yes, i got the original Charger CC C200.

Any suggestions / solutions?

I´m getting annoyed more and more by things like this which should work out of the box!

i think it's suppose to work with the car kit not the car charger......:)
[Hero CDMA General] stlsinger:
I just rooted my Sprint Hero and used the 2.1 rom. I love it except i was wondering if anyone has the same trouble i am.

1- when making a call...proximity error and i have to hit the back key to get the phone screen.

2- not saving new contacts to my gmail account but will save under the phone.

3- my temp one the clock widget and weather widget for some reason is about 30 degrees off

on a side note. I am good with following directions. so rooting the phone wasnt bad.

i would like to understand what the hell i was typing in for commands and what each was doing. im kinda nervous now to install anything else because of this.

ive been on these boards all day, and have done my fair share of searching. modding this phone has been harder to do than my iphone and pre when they first came out.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Which commands did you type. If you share them, I will translate what it actually did.
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
well, don't expect to have a working ROM that's 2.1 for now even. the problem is, most people come into the forum and just install 2.1 cause they get excited and don't realize that its a beta. its not final. if you want a real working ROM, just use 1.5 for now and add modaco's custom kernel to make it go faster.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Also stlsinger, please tell me you didn't flash with this ROM. Because that ROM is for the G1, NOT the Hero...
[Hero CDMA General] stlsinger:
I used all of them from this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291

if you could explain that way since they are numbered, that would be alot of help.

and do i backup every time before i install a new one and save that nandroid foler each time? will this enable me to go back to each time before and reinstall whats in the folder?

so if i install 1.5. i wipe and install that. then how do you install a custom kernel.

i know im asking alot of noob questions. please be patient with me. i just want a deeper explination to doing these things.

Thanks for the quick respons guys.
[Hero CDMA General] stlsinger:
haha, no. but i would have if i didnt do alot of searching. i only found two versions of 2.1 at first. then i looked a little further and found my phone was cdma. typical noob. Ill catch on sooner or later, haha!
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
check out the ROM wiki that's stickied. but for beginners, you might just wanna go with fresh 1.1 or modaco's 2.2 custom rom. if you install modaco's rom, you'll automatically get the custom kernel with all the enhancements like compcache, etc.

if you go fresh 1.1, which is what i use, you should download the update.zip of the custom kernel (also in the rom wiki), and apply that as an update.zip

either way, if you want to enable compcache, you'll have to use adb pull /system/init.db/compcache.sh and uncomment(remove the '#'s) from the scripts. or you can just do it from a file explorer like ES.
[Hero CDMA General] gmelchert:
you said something about your weather being off? maybe, just maybe its in celsius, not Fahrenheit.:D as for the proximity sensor, its a app that trys to copy the proximity sensor using the light sensor I think.. Mine didnt work either lol. And I agree, go to fresh, modaco, or ttg with the 1.2 modaco kernel.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
"cd" means change directory, so all you did here was changed where you were.

"adb" is telling your computer to communicate to your android phone.

"devices" just tells us what's connected.

"push" means move from the computer to the phone.

So in this command you copied asroot2 from your computer to /data/local/ on your phone.

"shell" allows you to run Linux commands on the phone.

"chmod" stands for change mode. In essence your changing the permissions.

The four numbers following, means which class. First number being "all", second number being "user", third number being "group" & the last number being "other".

The actual number corresponds to what permissions that class has.

0: being no access

1: being execute, but no write or read access

2: being write, but no read or execute

3: being execute & write, but no read

4: being read, but no execute or write

5: being execute & read, but no write

6: being read & write, but no execute

7: being read, write & execute (aka full access)​

So what you did there was provide no access to "all", full access to "user", execute & read access to "group" & "other".

Not really sure here.

"mount" tells the computer to that the partition is ready to be accessed.

"remount" tells the computer to remount the partition.

"rw" as in read & write.

/dev/block/mtdblock3 being the partition that is being mounted.

Changing directory to /system/bin on the phone.

This is what "cat" does.

Changing mode/permission of "su" to, read only to "all", full access to "user", execute & read access to "group" & "other".

"exit" terminates the program or shell.

Your "pushing" recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img from the computer to /sdcard on the phone.

Your telling the phone to reboot.

Going back into the shell.

"su" tells the computer to running the following commands as the root user.

Changing directory to /sdcard/ on the phone.

"flash-image" means we are flashing/replacing an image.

The second item is which image.

The third item is what image is replacing the aforementioned image.

So here we are flashing/replacing the recovery.img with recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img.

We are rebooting the phone into the recovery image.
[Hero CDMA General] noonanjs:
I just enabled compcache by removing all of the # using es file explorer, just curious what this does ?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
It compresses an area of RAM and uses it as cache.

Com(pressed)cache
[Hero CDMA General] noonanjs:
sweet glad I did that thanks
[Hero CDMA General] romeosidvicious:
Almost right but not quite. In the chmod 0755 notation the first digit is for setuid, setgid, or stickybit, the second is for user, the third for group, the fourth for world. There is no other. You could use chmod 755 and have the same effect. The numbers are literally right but the actual permissions are additions.

Octal notation

Another common method for representing Unix permissions is octal notation. Octal notation consists of a three- or four-digit base-8 value.

With three-digit octal notation, each numeral represents a different component of the permission set: user class, group class, and "others" class respectively.

Each of these digits is the sum of its component bits (see also Binary numeral system). As a result, specific bits add to the sum as it is represented by a numeral:

The read bit adds 4 to its total (in binary 100),

The write bit adds 2 to its total (in binary 010), and

The execute bit adds 1 to its total (in binary 001).

So read/write is 4+2 which equals 6

Read/write/execute is 4+2+1 which equals 7

I know it's pedantic but 6 and 7 don't actually mean r/w and r/w/x by themselves. They are additions of the distinct permission states. :)

So what he did was grant the following

0755

0 = No setuid, no setgid, no stickybit

7 = Read/Write/Execute (4+2+1) for the UID (user) that owns the file

5 = Read/Execute (4+1) for the GID (group) that owns the file

5 = Read/Execute (4+1) for anyone who can access the file at all (world)
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Other, World, Everyone; they mean exactly the same. Just different terminology for the same thing.

In OS X, which is FreeBSD based, X00 is defined as system (root), 0X0 is defined as admin & 00X is defined as everyone. Like I said before differnt terms for the same thing.
[Hero CDMA General] romeosidvicious:
I was mostly referring to the first number which in the post was listed as "all"

"...provided no access too all" which is incorrect. There are only three digits for user/group/(other,all,world) and you are correct that they mean the same thing. However 0755 is the exact same as 755 and the 0 is not "all" it is used for setuid, setgid, and the sticky bit. To get technical "all" is not the same on a Linux based system. "All" refers to the combination of user/group/other so chmod a+rw is the same as chmod 666 as "a" is "all" and changes the permissions of all the pieces of the triplet. :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] laramiebates:
Which custom kernel are you suggesting be installed? All I see is the one from Modoco..which is said to be for his rom, will it work for fresh also?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Ok, I think there was a just misinterpretation on my end on your original post.

I'm not too familiar with the first digit on a the four digit expression & I got my info on that digit from Wikipedia. So I have a question on this since I'm a little confused, what does "setuid", "setgid" & "the sticky bit" actually do?
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
He is suggesting MoDaCo's custom kernel be installed. The MoDaCo kernel works with Fresh 1.1, at least for me. Note that I did NOT have to Wipe Data before I installed it.
[Hero CDMA General] laramiebates:
Thank you. Worked great and no wipe required here either.

Side note: Does your thread handle have a meaning or is it just a random sequence of keys...or not really so random just in a square, at least the cdfv part.
[Hero CDMA General] stlsinger:
ok, so i now have the modaco 2.2 with all the addons. everything works great!...............except the damn phone dialer still vibrates and is slow and choppy. i actuallt started another thread about it.

i still am confused what comcache?? is. did i get it with 2.2?
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
if you deleted the '#'s from the compcache.sh in /system/init.db then yes, you have compcache. again, its comp(ressed) cache. it takes a portion of your memory and compresses it so it can technically store more things. i'm not too knowledgeable on the specific details, but it usually gives a big speed bump.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Spiral, actually.
[Hero CDMA General] stlsinger:
anyone have specific details on how to delete these numbers out? was i supposed to do this before i installed the 2.2 rom?
[Hero CDMA General] Genjinaro:
Compcache pepped up some things but it seems like ever since I had it on, I've been seeing lag. (especially when swiping away from home). I deactivated it.
[Hero CDMA General] grifforama:

I've been seeing lag as well using compcache. Was hoping someone else did. I'm turning it off now.

I am running Dutty Holy Grail v0.5 and it has Manila 2.5.1922XXXX on it.

I have installed Max Manila Ultimate v2.9 with the patches and I have some requests, maybe Im not able to figure it out... :

1) I want to have transparencies in the calendar, the clock/weather background, the slider tab and for the taskbar and the softkey bar... (I dont want to use HDWall since the patch for 1922 for HDWall isnt 100% reliable yet, and in any case, it gives me less flexibility of changing the wallpaper)

2) I would like to have Manila as landscape. I know this version supports it... but the cab I have found to enable landscape messes with the album and music tabs. I know there is a version out there, that works fine, but I cant seem to find it

3) I would like to integrate the Manila Alarm screen with SPB Time or other apps, I know that 12aon had a hack for it, but I dont think it works on this version of Manila

Thanks for your help

so i encoded "the hurt locker" to an mp4 file and the video wont play but the audio will on my g1

i had "cloverfield" converted and it played...ok

i know it might be a noob question and asked before but i take it the video drivers havent been released so thats why is wont work?

or maybe i encoded it incorrectly?

Well it does turn it off on the tmob (US) version of the TP2, so it's not completely out of left field...just becasue you don't have any scenairos where it's undesirable to close the keyboard before shutting off the screen, don't assume that nobody else does either ;)

hello I have to do to wipe my nexus one, but I want to know if you lose data and / or applications and how to save everything! hello and thanks
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Wiping deletes everything from your phone. It will be like you're turning the phone on for the first time all over again. However, wiping DOES NOT delete what's on your SD card. I don't know what exactly you want to save but for apps I use appmanager from the market but there are several options for backing up free apps. The market also has some backup apps I haven't used but I imagine they backup more than just apps. But type in app manager in the market and read some app descriptions. Then type in back up and read some of those app descriptions. That's how I'd start if I were you.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] morison20:
Hi,

I used

free - m

with no luck. I tried to use

dmesg | grep ^Memory

but got no output.

When I use

free

in terminal I get-

Total memory - 196584

used memory - 193916

free memory - 2668

I am looking for RAM again and again because when my phone starts, the "System Tray monitor" software shows free RAM 98MB initially. Then after couple of minutes it shows free RAM 72MB (without running any program). If I know exactly that the phone has 192MB RAM instead of 288 MB then I can change it.

My doubts is- How much memory does the OS take? (my phone's OS is sapphire 1.6, REL, brand:HiAPK.com).

Do you know any possible way to get exact RAM and ROM of the system?

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] swissp:
192 mb is the usable RAM on the 32A, the rest is reserved.

The ammount of RAM depends on the model so if you want to know for sure which one you have you can boot into fastboot and check if it says 32A or 32B.
