Same issue is happening to me as well. My little opengl 2D test app ran fine in my Nexus 2.1 and after upgrading to 2.2 textures are completely white. Would you please tell us what was your problem?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] GuestK0050:
I think I have your solution.

First, as people may already know, to get the full resolution you want <supports-screens android:anyDensity="true" /> in your application manifest.

The textures are white because when you load them from a Bitmap, android has resized them and the resizing has made them a size that is not a power of 2, so it borks when you load the texture into opengl.

So how to you stop Bitmap from doing that?

create a folder in your "res" directory called "drawable-nodpi" and move your images in to that folder and the system will stop resizing them.

this is only an issue if you are using resources, if you load your images from assets or some other place, then I don't think the system resizes them.

Hope this helps, it worked for me.

[Android Software Development] ferminho:
Hey James, thanks for your insight :)

However I just did as you said but I'm still getting the same result. I never used power of 2 textures and they were perfectly rendered; I'm guessing GLUtils.texImage2D already does the dirty work.

anyDensity is set to true, bitmaps are inside drawable-nodpi, all screens are set in SupportedScreens... dunno; I'll guess I'll try to load the texture from elsewhere, not the resources, and see if I can pinpoint the problem.
[Android Software Development] ferminho:
Hi,

I almost forgot to post here. All James said is true and doing as he said (and using power of 2 widths & height for textures) made it work, but a special circumstance was blurring my point of view here.

The circumstance is that NPOTs seem to be supported in Nexus One with Android 2.1, but not 2.2. Why this support was removed remains a mystery to me :)

[HD2 General] benjieb:
Hi,

do anyone know a trick/soft that can be used to get rid of the time and battery icon on the top bar in 6.5.5 rom?

I use touchlockpro / batclock so need to get rid of it. See attached image.

thanks !!!
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
I asked this the other day, simple you cant lol (yet).....
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
Yes - you can. I guide you.

I see you use BattClock, so you must only change X,Y coordinates to set place you want to view.

Open Battconfig from start menu, then select 2nd possition in menu and set all like in this screen:

If you want horizontal just check this option below where in my screen is "Uklad poziomy" and increase "W".

Good luck.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
yes that's not getting rid of it that's just placing batt clock over the top, for people like me who dont use it i was just saying that you cant, but good idea :)
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
OIC. Did you try uncheck this option in Menu Start>Settings>Clock and alarms>More and:
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
nope because im on 6.5.x :) its not there

Hi I just wanna ask if anyone here knows a one click root for android 1.6 dmd64 or drc83? Since flashrec fails to backup recovery image(could not run command). I just want to keep the market interface since the rc29 market is ugly or is there any other way to update a rooted rc29 1.5 to dmd6/drc83 without having to unroot? Or another thing is there any skin patch for the rc29 market? So basically I wanna have rc29 with a drc83/dmd64 market skin(interface) while using flashrec for one click rooting answers are greatly appreciated thanks!

My HTC Magic's battery has that little patch on it that indicates water damage... it's pink. Does that mean it has seen water, or that it hasn't?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] arthofer:
mine got pink stripes all over it, in a X shape...and i'm 100% sure it's never seen water...so if yours is solid pink, it could be damaged
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raduque:
On the battery, if it's crosshatched, it's fine. If it's solid pink or smudgy, then at the least the sticker got wet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mizunox:
Thanks for your replies.

Mine has the pink XX pattern, so maybe it's fine.

Was thinking about bringing it in for another problem, and just don't want them to point at that as the problem.

[HD2 General] CaptainHero:
Hi there.

I have owned the HD2 for about a month. I find it difficult to say for sure whether I like it or not - it diffently has a lot of both pros and cons. But since I am not looking to give a review of the device I just have a few pressing questions that I have not been able to find the answer to while doing alot of reading in these greats forums.

1. I have problems with both stability and lag. Could a possible ROM switch to say "energy (the newest version)" fix that?

2. Are the custom ROMS considered better than the stock ones - or is it mainly just because it is fun to be able to completely mess around with your phone?

3. If I choose to switch to energy's latest ROM is there some way for me to get my Danish T9 dictonary to work on the ROM - I have not been able to find the answer to that simple question while reading through those almost terrifyingly many pages contained in the thread for the energy ROM!!!! Found something about Chinese or Korean input... not helpful!

4. A side question: Is there a way to disable the function in HTC''s sms program that makes it able to input a different letter than the one pressed? Say you I have have pressed "e" but accidently released it on "r" making it type "r" instead of "e" - annoying the hell out of me.

Right now I am using my HD2 together with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.4 - the change of interface alone has seemed to reduce lag - but of course the Mobile Shell is not as "connected" as HTC's Sense interface, and I miss my music player and twitter integration :/

Hope you are not going to get a stroke or brain bleed because I did not RTFM enough ;)

Thank you for your time reading this :)
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
From my experience with cooked ROMs, it seems like some are just as stable if not more so than stock ROMs whereas others can have more problems... You'll just have to try a few and see which one you like.

Cooked ROMs are nearly always faster than stock and they usually have much more up to date versions of the various system components and programs.

The main reason I decided to flash a cooked ROM was to get the updated TMOUS camera drivers which fixes the overexposed effect that made the LED flash more or less useless. I'm using Dutty's V6 Hybrid at the moment and it uses a different bluetooth stack. I can't tell you why but it does make music sound better (when using a bluetooth headset obviously) and it's much faster than my old 1.44 stock ROM...

I hope those examples show why cooked ROMs can be so amazing. Just be careful not to flash a stock ROM with the latest SPL from your microSD card or you'll be stuck with it...
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I prefer tweaking the default rom. This is not to say that the cooks don't do a good job i just prefer not to get too extreme with the custimization. I do tweak the registry and i have installed a different spl and updated the radio. It's also been overclocked and so far i'm very happy with it (at the end of week 2 of ownership). The tweaks and the overclock combined with the 3D gfx driver that you can get from here have solved the lag and speed issues with all programs except for the messaging application.

I've also installed several applications including SRS WoW HD, a WM 6.1 style task manager, WIFI remote access and phm regedit. I've also updated the facebook application and dropped a copy of office mobile 2010 on.

At the end of the day the choice is yours. My phone is as stable as a rock right now and never crashes although i must say it wasn't but i found, like most people, that the problems were caused by a particular program. In my case it was a slightly dodgey remote desktop client that it turns out i didn't need anyway. It's also feels as responsive as my very expensive desktop pc (specs below).

The issue you mention with text messaging could be solved by decreasing the sensitivity of the touch interface or (and this is what i do) rotate the phone to landscape mode and type like that. It makes the keyboard wider and a bit easier to use. You could also get a foldable bluetooth keyboard.

What route you take is entirely your choice so if you think a custom rom is the right route to take go for it. There are some many out there your not going to be short of choice so it may be worth exploring more than just energy's roms.
[HD2 General] CaptainHero:
Thank you very much for your answers :)

Well, I predict that if choose to flash some custom ROM, that i will spending alot of time trying out the different ROMs of the different chefs, but then again, i do not feel completely satisfied with the way my device is running now.

I have actually recently flashed back with a stock ROM... Tried to install some different radios so that I would get better reception, but I was no different. Plus i didn't think flashing radios was as "dangerous" as flashing ROMs How can i check if my device has been "locked"?

I also think that I have narrowed down the problem with the lag (not the instability) to when the facebook integration of my contact is downloading new info (every 2 hours right?), lags horribly for about one minute throughout the whole menu, actually, every time it accesses the internet to either update tweeter, face or check for email, it lags!

I am hoping these things can be overcome by flashing a new ROM, if that is even possible for me now :S
[HD2 General] M3PH:
If you have reinstalled a stock rom you will probably need to install an unlocked spl again. To do this you'll need to get a copy of hspl or hspl2 (look in the rom development board). flashing the radio is less danagerous to a certain extent but i advise you have look for customruu there is a version that is configured not to wipe the device after install. I would post a link but i'm out and about and all my resources are on my desktop.

The lag you experience with the facebook/twitter integration i haven't experienced as i don't use it but i do have an exchange server that is configured with direct push and i don't have any lag with that. It may be worth you looking into the 2 tweaks sticky threads and implementing some of them. I would also suggest that you have a look for the 3D gfx driver and netrippers LCS which will allow you to disable the processors autoscaling. You may find this illiminates the lag. It certainly did the trick for me.
[HD2 General] NeoGreendawg:
Unless you use a ROM with the TMOUS camera drivers you might as well not have a flash for taking pictures in dark settings. I spent quite some time just playing around with my old stock ROM too but in the end I gave in because of this issue...

Flashing from the microSD is the safest way to flash anything just make sure that you're battery's fully charged (to be on the safe side) and it's not a stock ROM with an SPL included which would overwrite your HSPL.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Here is a question based on your last comment, Neo, and i'm only asking because i noticed an image was over powered by the flash at around a metre distance. is it possbile to install the tmous camera driver on a stock rom and if so where do i find it?

I found a thread with a link (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5866852&postcount=13) but it fails to install on my stock 1.66 rom and looking at the thread many other too. Although that thread reveals - consistant with neo's comment - that the driver is included in many cooked roms based on the tmous 2.10 (and above) rom
[HD2 General] CaptainHero:
Okay guys. Thanks for the tips. I guess I will have to install HSPL again and this time try to flash Energy's ROM. Don't know if it has the new camera drivers, or if it has those nice bluetooth drivers (I have noticed the voice quality is not very good on my bluetooth headset).

3D GFX and that CPU program, check!

Guess I will also try that "Slide to Unlock", saw it in a youtube demo and it had many more features than i originally thought... nice!!!

So if I understand this right, flashing a stock ROM with the stock SPL does not remove the ability to install HSPL again? But it is just annoying having to install HSPL all over :)?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnLogikal:
Ok. So I'm a longtime iPhone user. Ordered a Nexus One before they disappear for software development reasons and just sheer curiosity on my part.

I absolutely loathe the default software keyboard on the Nexus One. What a pile of trash in comparison to the iPhone keyboard.

I've done a bit of research on software keyboard replacements. Seems other people feel the same way I do about the default keyboard.

So I snagged ThickButtons from the Market... it's "ok" but not a huge upgrade. The button placement is odd. For example. If you click the 123 button to get the number/special symbols keyboard in the bottom left. Once you click that the ABC button is not in the same location, it's moved one button to the right. Meaning I can't just tap, tap, tap and be done. it's more like tap, tap, move, tap.

So my question to you guys/gals is what keyboard do you use and why? If any other iPhone users out there can comment as well if you found anything remotely similar to the iPhone keyboard. At this point I'm switching back and forth between iPhone and Nexus One every other day or so. And by far, the keyboard is the worst part of the Android experience.

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] berardi:
I used the iphone for a bit and personally I am very happy with the Android default. I can't really find any major difference between them? Although I do not use predictive text, I can type pretty quickly.

What exactly do you find better about the iphone keyboard? Maybe you are just used to it. *shrugs*
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnLogikal:
No doubt a lot of the problem is in fact the result of being used to it.

The problem I have is that the iPhone tends to try to predict which word you are typing and as it does so increases the size of the touch area for letters that are most likely to be next. The size of the buttons does not change on screen, just the area that causes them to be touched. So if you type "S" it will make the touch area surrounding likely next letters such as "o" and "t" larger while making the area surrounding letters least likely to be touched next "x" "z" "m" etc smaller.

Thick Buttons does something similar, but it actually changes the size of the buttons themselves. So the layout of the keyboard fluctuates as you type which is both distracting and harder to adjust to since you might be eyeing where the next key is but it'll move on you after the previous button was pressed.

The default keyboard is just hard to type on. It's also very sensitive to multiple touches... which I hear is just a symptom of the keyboard not supporting multi-touch...

Also the layout of the iPhone keyboard just makes sense. I haven't tried Better Keyboard (for cost reasons I'm trying to avoid it), nor have I tried Swype (though I'd like to)...

Just really hoping there's something better out there. After using an iPhone for so long this is really just the most difficult thing to type on. Makes me feel like the whole hardware keyboard thing is sort of a requirement with Android and that's why people are so unwilling to try the iPhone due to only having a software keyboard.

I think the single largest problem I have is that tapping the space button is impossible on both Thick Buttons and the default. I typically have to tap twice and the second one is a tap with authority as it's getting really frustrating having to do it over and over after each word. If I try to type fast i end up with multiple words without spaces between them scattered through out. Very stupid.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Default Android keyboard also has word prediction. Just write "oresicyion" - you will get "prediction". It's not the same, as you described, but effects are exactly the same. You don't have to click letters precisely, because they have larger area than they looks alike.

EDIT:

But I didn't use iPhone a lot, just "clicked it" few times, so maybe I just don't know, what is so better in this iPhone approach :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UnLogikal:
Bought Better Keyboard. Much better. I'd recommend it to anyone really.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rithina:

[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
When I was on AT&T, the phones were locked down incredibly hard. I had a LG and then a Nokia, and you couldn't even install 3rd party apps unless you did some really funky stuff to them. I knew it wouldn't be any different on Sprint, but why are carriers so hell bent on locking down phones that they sell to consumers?
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
M O N E Y chars
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
I explained this to someone else in another thread.

Long story short: If a carrier allows root type access to a phone they legally have to support any changes you make. Which means if you root it and blow it up, they have to support it and give you a refurb. By not allowing root, they eliminate the chance that your average person will screw something up. Secondly they'd have to teach their techs the ins and outs of the OS. Can you imagine calling Sprint and saying, 'I ran rm -r / from an adb shell and now my phone won't boot!'.

Firstly they'd have to know that you just recursively deleted everything in your ext filesystem. Then they'd have to know how to help you get it back. Too much time to attempt to fix it, and I've seen threads similar to that here. Imagine Sprint having to support the stuff you've all seen here. They can't.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
It's the iPhone mentality - Lock it down, they don't need anything else other than what we will give them

and if you gave every user on sprint the ability to Wifi Tether, it would grind their network to a crawl.
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
One reason the carriers might care is tethering which many carriers charge extra for.

But I think the real reason is plain old security. If there was a root exploit then what is stopping an app from infecting phones? People feel that the phone they get is the carriers responsibility. You can't have a virus running around because people will blame the carrier. Also for the same reason what smw6180 said. People screw something up and they will blame the carrier.

So it is the mentality that if anything goes wrong with your phone the carrier is responsible.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
Ahh.. I guess that all makes sense. I was looking at it from my perspective where I know (for the most part) what I am doing and can pay attention and read... Since most of us here are in the minority, I can see why they do it.
[Hero CDMA General] willowmp:
Yea think about it like this.

All of us who have accidentally perma-bricked our phones because we did something stupid (flashed a gsm radio) and gone into sprint repair centers going I have no idea what happened...well who is paying for our mistakes.

Now do you think the losses they got from just the small group who have done it? No but think about large scale. Give the average uneducated-on-the-topic person who isn't tech savvy and I can see a ton of money blown on phones that have been destroyed.

Just one of the many reasons.
