Too many usernames

Hi,

That's a tidy looking design, from a user point of view I like XDA Developers because I sign in, and have access to some user support, software downloads, and ROM updates - without having to sign-up for another website...

I really like the idea of a dedicated portal for ROM updates, and detailed instructions for newbies - how about using your portal as an affiliate to XDA developers? So, for instance, I would use the same credentials to log into either site, or even a shared cookie / user database?

For obvious reasons I do not like to use the same credentials between sites, so for you to broker an arrangement with the administrator of this website for sharing the credential database / profiles / and web site traffic would make life for people like me easier....

If I were the administrator of this website with a large following I'd jump at the opportunity for portals and shared resources on other hosts to boost popularity...

There is a new portal on xda-developers coming soon, perhaps they'll address this?
[Off-topic] orlandojumpoff:
there's no place like xda for ROMs, i'll pass. nice effort though.
[Off-topic] SeanFromSoCal:
Unless they bring you on as a contractor to add something to their existing vBulletin install, having a new 3rd party website access their user database is a major security worry. I guess they could create a user authentication API for you to plug into but that'll still be something to be concerned of both from XDA and existing XDA users trusting a new website.

Also with the gray shade legality of these non-MS authorized ROMs, I wouldn't expect their stance to be that accomodating to this. Perhaps you should consider focusing on helping them orginize these new software releases created by the XDA community. That's even harder to sort thru than the ROMs.

Just giving honest opinion from a fellow web developer.
[Off-topic] N1c0_ds:
I mostly made this to practice PHP while creating something that could potentially maintain itself financially (domain name+hosting).

I want to provide a way for newcomers and old users to easily find and compare ROMs for their devices. The forum as it actually is is not exactly a welcoming place for those looking for step-by-step guides and organized information. As for software releases, I'd be glad to support them to and even host them if I can afford it. Once the main frame is built, it can and will be reused for Android and software.

As for working with XDA-developers, I'd love it. I aim to integrate XDA-devs as tightly as possible with the rest of the site. However, credentials will stay separate from this site. It's not secure as stated above and might require ridiculous amounts of work from me and the (possibly disinterested) XDA-developers admin. Yet, there will be XDA-developers integration to a certain level.

deviceroms will be a tool, not a community.
[Off-topic] Semseddin:
I like this concept, please make it real soon and use a better design and simpler design for it :)
[Off-topic] N1c0_ds:
I tried to make it as simple and efficient as possible; navigation is simple, registration does not require email confirmation and everything is listed as to make browsing easier for a "ROM shopper". There WILL be moderation as I opted for full HTML support in the description.

As for the delivery date, expect it to be soon enough. I've got only a few work hours and I've done 75 percent of the job after already after 40 days.

The site as it is works but lacks critical features (editing existing listings, rating ROMs and changing account password).
[Off-topic] Semseddin:
If you need help with maintenance or moderating, let me know. Btw a small forum wouldn't hurt,too. At least a tool to comment on roms will be nice. People might read the reviews of them before downloading.

All the best !
[Off-topic] madsurfer1:
nice job

really hope that you finhish the site soon
[Off-topic] N1c0_ds:
Hey, you just gave me an idea! I know there are a lot of support/bug report posts in the ROM threads. This will also happen in the comments, so I'll include a dropdown box where they can select the comment's nature so they can be filtered.
[Off-topic] Semseddin:
You're welcome :)
[Off-topic] SeanFromSoCal:
That's a great idea.

You should consider DIV tabs separating between comments/bug reports. Also you should consider doing a multi-faceted rating system:

Speed

Stability

Free Memory

Built-in Applications

Style/Visual

Then allow people to search and filter based on date plus the rating criteria they are looking for. (ie. within last 3 months that have average 5-star speed ratings)
[Off-topic] SeanFromSoCal:
Also please please please make sure your coding is secure.

The last person who posted on the board showing off that he made a windows mobile application blog/website had made his site public with major security flaws (SQL injection). If I didn't point it to him that there was a major flaw, it might have been left open and someone could have stolen all the e-mails and login info. Since it was a custom job he could have also stored the passwords in plaintext in the database, so any hacker using sql injection could have gotten XDA member's e-mail addresses and passwords which could be horrible if the XDA member is the type that uses the same password on multiple websites.
[Off-topic] N1c0_ds:
That's a great idea. There is no ratings system yet, so that might be a cool idea. I still can't figure out a better way than storing individual votes in a table to limit users to a single vote per ROM.

I'm a starter but I am well aware of the risks of SQL and script injection attacks. I am actively reading on the topic in order to prevent these before going live.
[Off-topic] SeanFromSoCal:
Yeah that's the best way to do it. You could always have a CRON script to run everynight to parse the votes and store that value in a separate "ROM_Rating_Summary" table.

ROM_ID, RatingCount, AverageSpeedRating, AverageStabilityRating, AverageMemoryRating, AverageFeatureRating, AverageStyleRating, TotalSpeedPoints, TotalStabilityPoints, TotalMemoryPoints, TotalFeaturePoints, TotalStylePoints

So the cron will add up all the SpeedPoints from each user rating (4+3+5+2+3+4+4) and then divide it by RatingCount. 4+3+5+2+3+4+4 = 25 / 7 = 3.57 avg rating in Speed category. The cron will add the last days' new rating points and increment the rating count and then you divide and get the revised average rating. By parsing only the last day's worth of comments this way, it should be fast to loop thru even 1000 ROMs.

Have fun with it.

what i wanted to do was delete a file in tool commander from my storage card ....i went to properties then association and i clicked the x for delete ...now all my cabs have that windos flag kinda symbol ...were you cannot open it...any suggestions
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mstevens:
You did exactly what you said you did: you deleted the association from the file properties.

If you want to delete a file rather than its associations, you can do this in either File Explorer or in Total Commander (which I recommend over "Tool Commander") by tapping-and-holding on the file you want, then selecting "delete" from the menu that pops up.

In Total Commander, you can also select the file by tapping it once, then tap the "File" softkey in the lower left and select "Delete" from the pop-up menu. That's way less complicated than what you did.

I might be able to help you re-associate the .cab files properly.

First, get a copy of Total Commander and install it if possible. This may not be possible if .cab associations have been deleted.

Then navigate to a cab file. It doesn't matter which one. Tap-and-hold and select "Properties" from the pop-up. Go to the "Associate" tab then click the "Associate..." button.

Fill in the boxes as follows:

Command: wceload.exe

Parameter: "%1" /nodelete

Icon file: shellresapps.dll

Index: -15618

Hit "OK" twice to get out and save the settings and you should be good to go.

[G1 Accessories] amgarlin:
Hi, I've been using my G1 since its release. I recently sold my iPod touch and am trying to replace it with my G1. I got an HTC adapter that plugs into the HTC mini usb and pushes to a: (1) Charging mini usb, (2) Headset Mini usb, (3) 2.5mm w/inline mic, and (4) 3.5mm w/inline mic. In my car I have one of those 3.5mm to tape deck adapters. The problem to which I can't find a hardware solution and hope to find a software solution is; When I plug in my "3.5mm/tape-deck" adapter to the 3.5mm of the HTC adapter when I receive calls the inline mic input gets pushed through to the "3.5mm/tape-deck" which then gets "dead-ended" in the tape player. I was wondering if there is a way I can override the mic input to stay on the built-in mic on my G1. Sorry if this doesn't make sense I'm doing my best to explain my problem. In theory this should be an easy fix, I think. I'll accept a hardware solution I suppuse but I'd prefer a software solution.
[G1 Accessories] amgarlin:
PS: I'm running CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1 So my phone is rooted and you can post root only solutions.
[G1 Accessories] hiddengopher:
it makes sense, its just that I have no knowledge of anything about cars at all! haha
[G1 Accessories] evilkorn:
I use this to my advantage and use it as an almost hands-free device.

I don't quite know what you mean by "dead-ends" in the tape player, it should just hold the music and have the call, then when it ends, the music starts back from the pause.

I think the amount of people that do that are greater than the people that want the music to play and talk on the phone at the same time.

You can always unplug the phone and pick it up if you want to talk like that, with that phone in your ear.
[G1 Accessories] amgarlin:
Thanks for all the responses. I think I need to clarify this. This is the adapter im using: (edit: I am not allowed to use outside links. well its the htc 4 in one adapter. Its like the first one that pops up when you google HTC 4 in one adapter)

My problem is that my 3.5mm/tape-deck adapter has only 2-rings but the mic is automatically routed through, as though I had a headset plugged into the 3.5mm port. So when someone calls I can only hear them and cannot speak into the mic even though there is a mic on the phone. The phone "thinks" that there is a mic that I can speak into. I need a way to force route the mic input to the embedded one, even while my tape-deck adapter is plugged in.

The ultimate goal of all this is so that I can do everything on my phone in my car without picking it up and thereby maximizing safety.

PS If you don't understand any of what I said just ask and I'll do my best to explain. I am using layman's terms.
[G1 Accessories] mr.incredible:
The original works great

The original HTC wired headset comes as two pieces. The section connected to the handset has the mic and pause button on it. The earbuds that come with it are just standard 3.5mm stereo earbuds. You replace the earbuds with the jack from the cassette adapter and Bob's your uncle. I've tried it in my truck. I'm not using the cassette adapter but my stereo has an audio input jack on the front. (Same sort of thing) There is a little echo on the other end of the call. It's not bad though.
[G1 Accessories] monkey804:
I have the original wire headset that came with the G1, it is a single piece unit. Can you post a link to your headset? I googled htc headset but couldn't come up with anything like you described.

edit: Found the wire headset for the AT&T Tilt. It has a mini USB plug and is a 2piece unit.
[G1 Accessories] the.nebular:
HTC changed the headset for the G1 after the launch. Originally it was just the headset with the htc proprietary end on it, then they released it with an adapter and 3.5mm headphones.

Unfortunatly for us Canadians, Rogers did not release the Dream with an adapter so we have to pay to use 3.5mm headphones.
[G1 Accessories] fermunky:
I was recently handed a Nokia HF-510 to demo (http://www.nokiausa.com/find-produc...n-handsfree/nokia-display-speakerphone-hf-510)

It's a Bluetooth car speaker phone. The only down side was that the G1 doesn't support the Phonebook Access profile, so you couldn't browse your contacts from the speaker phone, but it's sound quality was excellent, and can be very loud so using it with the windows down while on the highway was very nice. The mic gets pretty good pickup, so no need to shout at the thing. I just didn't like the shape... kinda bulky, so stowing it away in the glove box wasn't really ideal.
[G1 Accessories] sync3:
Thoughts

Im pretty much is same boat as you..From ur explaination i believe you have this adapter.....On any donut or cupcake roms..the mic signal seems to be rerouted back to tape deck as u said...buttttt...when i had a hero or eclair rom installed..it used the mic on the g1 itself..whilest still utilizing car stereo..so maybe its something in the software..or drivers..hope this helps
[G1 Accessories] agentfusion:
I have found that my only solution is JupiterJack or something similar. Just like the tape adapter that you're using, but it's wireless. You set the radio to a dead station and it picks up the signal from the JupiterJack. Now, mind you, I have only tested with WinMo so I can't tell you for sure if the G1 will use it's built-in mic, or if it will search usb for a mic signal and assume there is a mic present on the usb port. This is probably a 1.5 flaw, and is -definitely- a software issue because I have seen 'hands-free' devices like JupiterJack that specifically say they're only compatible with 1.6+

Well since you already got the correct radio, just go and flash the danger spl (1.33.2005). you can find it in my sig. (a.k.a Haykuro's SPL) With the danger spl you can flash any ROM made for the MT3G/G1.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prash:
Hey guys,

First time around here since I don't own a nexus one yet. I made the new boot animation screen for the CyanogenMod 5, and a few themes for pre-nexus devices/roms. Anywho's I've already gotten a lot of requests for boot screens on other nexus roms. Thankfully I don't have to do too much work to get it in.

Video Preview

: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFxjKdjJV8w

If you want the Cyanogenmod 5 boot screen on your own nexus rom (even works on non rooted I believe, not positive though) do the following:

1) Download this file: http://injun.org/bootanimation.zip

2) Without unzipping, put it on your phones /data/local folder (create it if its not there)

3) Reboot and watch the new boot screen.

Easy as that.

Enjoy,

-Prash

If you want to see more of my work for nexus, I'd really appreciate a donation to my n1 fund via paypal: phd@injun.org, I'd love to take a crack at themes for the n1 and the amazing screen :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tizzl10:
hmm..didnt work for me. i created the local folder (/data already created) and put the .zip file in the /data/local folder and rebooted but same boot animation. am i missing something?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
can i ask how you did it please? Is it something to do with how you rezip the folder? I have edited the original images- put them all back in and rezipped my bootanimation but it just gives me black and no boot animation at all.

thanks- love the CM animation BTW.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t6waver:
/data/local folder is located in the phone, not the sd card.

use

android-sdk kit & AndroidCommander_v0.7.4.1 to get into your phone, and drop the bootanimation.zip into the /data/local folder of your phone. not the sd card. Then just reboot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tizzl10:

thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikecyber:
I am extremely excited to move past the limitations of the Dream, and use real animations on the Nexus One. (if there was sound, I'd wet my pants)

I've made an animation with the same dimensions as yours, and I exported each frame to png. I kept your naming convention, started with boot_00003, and used the same number of files, split into 2 folders. What else do I need to get it to work? Would using Stericson's utility to sign the zip work? (The one he made for the Dream)

I have a few more questions, but if someone could answer the above, I can probably figure the rest out on my own.

Thank you, Prash, great work.

awesome freaking boot screen. you wouldn't happen to have a version without the "little dude" in the middle would you? sort of like it even more stripped down and simple.

again though, totally freaking cool. can't imagine how you "searched and replaced" all those little lines in Photoshop (or even worse, sat and redrew all of them on top of the old ones), but you did.

thanks

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jairomeo:
Prash, you are the man. I love this. And it goes perfect to my theme in progress
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] prash:
Glad my boot screen is a big hit, Sorry I haven't been responding or active here in the N1 forum, since I don't own an N1 I forget easily. I'll try to respond to anyting I see in the past few posts.

Just find any stock rom (even the OTA zip) and pull the bootanimation.zip from /system/media.

Ok It seems peopel want a quick and dirty tutorial. I'm not sure if its been posted in these parts before but its pretty simple.

If you keep the naming scheme and folder structure the same you really don't need to change much aside from how you zip the files. When you zip (I prefer to use 7z) BE SURE to choose 'store' under compression method, basically its a container, no compressing needed. Also keep the folder structure intact.

If you want an advanced options you can edit the desc.txt file in something thats linux-friendly (Notepad++ works well) and change dimensions, frame rates, and even tell the system which folder to loop and which to play normally once.

Hopefully that helps a few of the folks out. Sorry again for being absent.
