Im not sure to be honest. It works pretty quick for me... what file type are your music files?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] booon:
supported file types are: MP3, AAC(AAC, AAC+, AAC-LC), AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI and Windows Media® Audio 9
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
@OP: It really depends on how much music you have on your SD card. Obviously the phone will scan through one mp3 faster than it will scan through one thousand. The SD card itself matters too. A Class 6 card will be much faster than a Class 2 card.

I've got a Class 6, 16GB card with about 10-11GB of music on it. It's been a while since I first loaded it up in the Music app, but I seem to recall it took quite a while to scan through the whole library. I couldn't tell you exactly how long as I seem to remember I started listening to music before it was done scanning the whole library.

EDIT: nvm
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alex Slane:
hmmm ok, well have tried that a few times's ,

maybe I should just let it do its thing.

Hi all,

maybe you have already heard of Rhobuntu, an Ubuntu running on HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). Well, since, our kernel supports not only Rhodium but also Topaz, Blackstone, Raphael and Diamond, we decided to tweak Rhobuntu in a way that it runs on all these devices and not only on Rhodium. One user has already reported that Rhobuntu runs fine on his Diamond, including Calibration, SD card access, WiFi and 3G.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6189966&postcount=761

So, if you're interested in running a Linux on your phone, you might give it a try and tell about your experience in this thread or in our main Rhobuntu thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640785

Rhobuntu is not a ROM and not an emulator. It boots out of Windows Mobile the same way Android does.

Installation

Hi, what am I doing wrong? I downloaded the two newest packages (7z) and got the first archive extracted using Ubuntu on my desktop (seems to contain all the needed files) but I can´t open the second 7z-archive in either Ubuntu or Windows (on my desktop). If I try to launch haret my Diamond reboots. I guess theres something I need in the second package but I can´t get it extracted, in Windows IZArc and 7-zip say the format in not supported or something. I read the wiki already.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rajeshjha84:
In windows open it using winrar or u can change extension from .7z to .rar
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bombenbach:
If you are using Ubuntu on your PC, it should be enough to right click on Jaunty 14_04_2010.7z.001 and select 'Extract here' from the context menu. This should extract the whole archive from both Jaunty 14_04_2010.7z.001 and Jaunty 14_04_2010.7z.002. The files on Rapidshare are 100% ok, I've already redownloaded them myself and had no issues.

Can't install vnc

Hi everyone.

I "installed" jaunty rhobuntu.

I am trying to set up a vnc server, either x11vnc or tightVNC so I can control Rhobuntu remotely from my laptop.

The reasons I want to do this are:

1) For the sake of my eyes (for the customization at least).

2) I hope to make my diam100 a download server and I want to check it up from SUSE. Maybe add a custom usb 5v fan along side to keep things cool.

The problem is when synaptic is about to start downloading the packages it fails saying something about not found packages. (for both x11nvc and tightVNC).

Wifi is operational.

Any ideas?

PS. As an alternative, is there a way to load ubuntu.img as a virtual machine in eg. virtualbox and customize it on my laptop before puttting it to work on Diamond (given that it is for Arm processors)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
I don't know about about the first 2 questions,but for mounting you should try

mount -o loop -t ext2 ubuntu.img /mountpoint

or mount -t ext2 ubuntu.img /mountpoint..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] diggy128:
Thanks for the info (though I know how to mount it).

The question is, can I open it from virtual box, qemu, bochs as a virtual machine given the fact that the distro is compiled for ARM processors?

don't forget that anything above 425 lines is legaly defined as hd. at 480 they are technically correct. bloody cheeky but correct.

[Desire General] smeeg:
Standard Def TV in the UK is already 576 lines, I think you will find that the HD Spec lists 720 lines as a minimum for HD TV so I would therefore expect that when referring to video playback and recording the 720 lines mininmum would still apply.

I think that in the phone industry though it is quite common to call a screen resolution of 480 lines HD just to add confusion :)

I'd rather they just made video recording at 30FPS rather than the crappy 20FPS that it is now. It's *extremely* stuttery in video mode. A weak LG Viewty from 3 years ago could record at 120FPS , why does a snapdragon powered phone in 2010 record at 20 FPS?
[Desire General] poldie:
It's supposed to be 30fps, at a higher resolution, and presumably greater bit depth. Are you recording to sd card or internal memory?

My videos record at 20fps, checked it on vlc and quicktime.

also noticed a bug where sometimes it records video but with a pink filter colour, weird.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
AdFree is a fantastic program created by XDA user delta_foxtrot2 (see this thread in the G1 forum) to facilitate using your hosts file to block ad servers. This makes it extremely easy. Of course you will need root access!

Unfortunately I found some ads still weren't blocked and the last update to the AdFree hosts file happened 2010-02-27. So I decided to update the hosts file myself. I merged the hosts files from adfree/mvps/yoyo and added a bunch of mobile ad providers I've found myself. The list is free of duplicates and comments, so as to keep it as small as possible (it still amounts to about 635 kB).

To install this hosts file, you still need root access obviously:

download the zip

unpack it to the directory where adb.exe is located (if you don't know what adb is or how to get it running, please use the search)

open a command prompt

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push hosts.for.mobile.txt /etc/hosts
adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

You might need to restart your phone. Also clearing the Android browser cache will apparently help in getting rid of already cached ads (worked for me, ymmv).

As for ethical discussions on blocking ads for free apps, blah. I don't so much have a problem with ads, as I do with the personal data that gets send to the ad providers. I'm talking about location data and whatever else they might want to know about my device and what I'm running ("analytics" is a fancy name for "we want to find out as much about you as we possibly can get away with").

Anyway.. use it, don't use it, up to you.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neejay:
Thanks for the updated hosts. So should we even bother with the program, especially if it doesn't get updated hardly at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
You're welcome!

If you push my hosts file, you don't need the	AdFree app, but I wanted to acknowledge his work and give people a simpler alternative to using adb.

Best choice right now is my hosts file as it's simply more comprehensive.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neejay:
Understood. Yeah, it was a great start/beginning to blocking ads, but no updates. Thanks again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tmayne:
Thanks! I've been looking for something like this for awhile. Real quick question: is getting "Data connectivity errors" in browser normal with this? It didn't start till I pushed this on my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
Short answer: Yes.

Long answer:

You may know this, but I'll explain anyway. The way this works is as follows. The loopback address for any network interface is 127.0.0.1 -- this is the address for the device, but only from the device itself, it loops back on itself. We don't want to waste bandwidth with ads, or have ad providers collect all sorts of data on us, so we don't want to connect to them. Any FQDN -Fully Qualified Domain Name- (for example: analytics.admob.com) needs to be converted into an IP address to be able to connect to it. Here's where the 'hosts' file comes in. It's a simple text file with a record on each line that says redirect 'hostname' to 'ip-address'. So we put a line in that reads '127.0.0.1 analytics.admob.com'. This tells our device that any connection made to 'analytics.admob.com' needs to be redirected to '127.0.0.1', which is your device. Basically a dead-end, as you are not running their webserver serving ads on your device, so this results in a data connection error.

Now, usually you will surf to a site that loads images (advertisements) from a server that is listed in this hosts file, and as a result the ads will not load. That shouldn't popup any error windows. But if you try to visit http://analytics.admob.com in your browser, then yes, you will see an error.

If the latter happens with a site you do wish to visit, just open the hosts file in a text editor (one that supports UNIX-style line ends) and remove the line in question, or put a '#' in front of the line to comment it out.

Hope that made it clearer.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tmayne:
Yeah it did. No worries though since it seems that after pressing "Ok" everything works fine! Small trade off for blocked ads! Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] carbonyle:
Thanks for this How-TO!

So basicaly that mean we can restrict acces to certain websites from our phone?

eg

: adding this line

127.0.0.1 xdaforums.com

and I'll no longer be able to browse XDA from my phone?

Keep writing such How-To, like this one and the one to sign update.zip, I found this interessant and usefull
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
You're welcome, glad I could help.

Cheers. :) And yes, that's exactly right. Just remember the hosts file takes FQDN's, so you can block a domain (or subdomain) this way, but not a directory or page on a domain. Also, blocking a domain does not also block its subdomains.

PS. this method of using the hosts file is not unique to your android phone, it works on most operating systems on PC as well. See this Wikipedia entry for more info.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bazzix:
what about non rooted phones? I just got myself a htc desire, I'm happy with it but would be happier if I wouldn't be required to see all those ads.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
Unfortunately root is required to remount /system as writable to be able to overwrite the hosts file.

Without root you could use another free app found in Market called "AdBlock", which functions as a localhost proxy. Just set localhost as proxy in APN/wifi settings. It doesn't come with a prefilled list of keywords to block though, but it works on a URL level, not FQDN, so you can specify a url or part of it to block.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tmayne:
Just one more quick concern about the Data Connectivity issues: Certain areas of my university require a redirect page login in order to connect to wifi. However, it seems that at certain locations, I get the Data Connectivity error pop up repeatedly and my phone never makes it to the redirect page.

Actually it seems my phone only likes the wifi in my dorm. As stepping outside (to a library or classroom) and attempting to connect to the same wifi produces the error.

Is this an issue with the hosts file or with the phone itself??

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
If you DO see the wifi redirect page at SOME locations, then the hosts file is not blocking it (wouldn't make sense as it's likely an intranet page anyway). Sounds like wifi reception is unstable on your phone.

This is getting off-topic, but..... Have you already updated your radio? (the part of the ROM that handles everything related to GSM/3G/WiFi/Bluetooth connections). If not, here for the latest radio update.zip - flash through recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tmayne:
I should note that I'm using a Motorola Cliq...Handler 1.5 ROM. There is a radio update available for the Motorola Cliq (I'm currently using 1.3.18 and 1.4.8 has been released) but there are some apk incompatibilities with it (particularly Swype which I love...since it's in closed beta right now, there are no accessible updates for it unfortunately).

Since I bought my phone off of ebay, I can't send it back for a new one. The essential things work but it is a bit frustrating that it has some problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] carbonyle:
I'm pretty sure that updating radio won't affect other softwares since "radio" is *just* the piece of code that can handle GSM/Wifi/BT/3G, ... signals
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phaelox:
I'll always keep an open mind, but from what I know, I'm with carbonyle on this.

Back on topic:

if you come across an app that still displays ad, regardless of my hosts file, please reply in this topic with the app/version (and a logcat output would be nice if you know how) and I'll see if I can find the ad provider domain and update the hosts file.
