Clear storage is only clearing your /data partition. Anything the update did in /system, to hboot, etc are not being touched by you clicking clear storage. It may be that whatever update you are talking about is installing to /data and that's why it makes you reinstall it every time you do it, but clearing storage is definitely not doing the same thing that the info in this thread does.

If what you were suggesting is possible, that means your phone is holding a backup copy of the stock rom somewhere and installing it when you click clear storage. This is certainly not the case.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cronus1995:
Is it possible my problem is being caused by the hoot version I have? I've got the .77 currently.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SoCalMiles:
I wouldn't worry about it...this thread is giving the appearance of importance...This would only prove useful if an exploit is found in the recovery of the pre-OTA build. I'm not even certain any devs are working on it anymore...they may have moved on. Like I said wait until someone says you need the pre-OTA build on your phone then try this, till then it just a time waster...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnybags:
so if i roll back to pre-ota, do i need to back up before doing so? or will it not overwrite my apps/settings?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] acbyrd:
You may be having the same problem I did and that was that when I plugged my phone in and changed to Disk Drive Windows 7 popped up with 2 drives, one my phones internal storage and the other my sd card I loaded it onto my internal first by accident and got the same error then to the sd and it worked fine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ilinfinityil:
After downgrading this, for any reason, you could update back to the newest "everything" right?

Yes, upgrading will always be an option for you.

hey guys,

i'm thinking of joining the armed forces when i'm older (i'm 15)and the path that really interest's me is being a helicopter pilot, i have been looking on all the sites (army, raf, navy) so does anyone have any tips for me, that i could do to help me get in when i'm older.
[Off-topic] joel2009:
If its anything like the US, you have to be an officer to fly an aircraft. Officers require a degree of some sort. Stay in school, try and make good grades ;)
[Off-topic] DaveShaw:
Don't you need a degree to fly?

I know you need to be fit, not massively (Army's 1 1/2 mile in 11 or 12 minutes, I think - it's easy with a bit of training), but so long as you don't keel over after 5 minutes you'll be fine.

My brother's in the Infantry (via the AFC Harrogate), Step Dad used to be in the RAF (not a Pilot, though), and I've worked with the MoD computers for a few years in a previous role - sadly I've never joined :).

Good luck,

Dave
[Off-topic] bbobeckyj:
Just go to your local AFCO, they'll be best able to tell you what you need to do. Do it now!

What I do know is that they'll expect you to be fit before you apply, such as 1.5 mile runs in 9 minutes.

You should be a straight 'A' A level student with a degree for best chance, but A levels are the minimum

Do some kind of community service.

There will be an interview with an officer at your AFCO, then if you pass that, a four day test at (I forget where...) if they don't say 'no' after the first 2 days. This will include the fitness tests, further interviews, aptitude tests (such as 'you're flying a jet which uses 1 kilo of fuel per minute, and 5 kilos of fuel in after burner mode,the speed af flight in normal mode is 500mph, after burner mode is 800mph, you are 200 miles from an emeny intercept who is traveling at 400mph in the same direction as you, you will use after burner mode for 20 minutes during the fight, you have then to get to one of 3 air bases after the fight, you have 1000kilos of fuel...)

All pilots will be put forwards for fast jet testing/training first, then work 'down' from that

I forget the rest. You should be able to find more info online.
[Off-topic] DaveShaw:
Every pilot I've met has to be an officer.

So just perfect saying "pip pip" and drinking tea :D
[Off-topic] slaming:
Thanks guys I know in our school we have a careers adviser and I'm gonna make an appointment with one of them ASAP and dad says he will take me to our nearest requitment office. Sounds like it should be a nice challenge for me to sink my teeth into.

[Off-topic] ClementNg23:
oh do they have any other physical requirements other than body fitness?

e.g. if i am a little bit short sighted will I still be able to join?

thx

(it might be fun to fly a jet...when i grow up...)
[Off-topic] slaming:
i think if your vision is really bad they won't let you join up, i think for the very fast jets you do have to have very good vision. if you can't join up for fast jets (typhoon, euro fighter etc) you can probably come as a transport pilot or helicopter pilot.
[Desire General] supervinnie40:
the desire owners will have noticed, that when you press the on/off button, the screen turns on and you will see the slider (with the time and date).

(unless you replaced it with an app or something).

now you can choose how to unlock it, either slide the slider down with your finger.

OR you press the menu button.

i have the desire in my pocket with the screen towards my leg (because it's more comfortable deu to the little curve on the bottom), and i KEEP pressing the f#####ng menu key.

in other words: my phone gets unlocked every couple of minutes.

my mates think its cool, because i'm calling the whole wide world from my pocket without using my hands or fingers.

but i don't like it, neither does my wallet.

i know there are unlock apps, but i'm not always sure what they do.

i'm looking for a hack/app that disables the menu key.

in that way the single and only way to unlock the phone is to slide the slider down with my finger.

so nothing will change EXCEPT the fact that the menu key can unlock the screen.

can someone please help me, because i'm really getting sick of it (even though the phone itself is absolute gold).

p.s. i'm not familair with rooting.
[Desire General] samac92:
so you're pressing the power button, then the menu button in your pocket? how'd you manage that?
[Desire General] supervinnie40:
yeah.. i kinda should be in the world book of records for being able to do the impossible.

i made my last htc touch pro 2 brake it's screen when i flew off by opening the keyboard.

apparently the screen came off or a screw came of or something.

i'm good at that :D.

besides, i'm a big lad, and when i sit down the fabric of my jeans curls (english is not my native language, so i'm not to sure how to describe it), like a rinkle.

at the top it presses the power button (which gets pressed so bloody easily).

pressing the menu button is easy, it happends all the time apparently.

it happened before that i suddenly had a different background, deleted widgets, replaced widgets, called people, turned on gps, opened a program etc.

believe, i can get impossible things happen :D i'm just a professional clumsy dude haha.

but anyways, you got an idea?
[Desire General] tuatha:
I don't know how to disable it, but you could get a case.

I got one and they're pretty cool. Dirt cheap too.
[Desire General] samac92:
oh right lol! i'd be careful if your pockets are tight, some people broke the nexus one screens with tight pockets, and my desire came with a warning to remove from pockets before sitting down :P

but i'm sorry i don't know how to disable it, i have rooted my phone and installed froyo which doesn't do it, but its not a perfect rom yet (certain stuff doesn't work)
[Desire General] JagSem:
If you keep the screen side against your leg, the screen will eventually curve in at the center. Happened to my N95 8GB. I can almost guarantee over time it will happen with the Desire. Dont ever sit on it. EVER.
[Desire General] supervinnie40:
i don't sit on it, it's in my front pocket.

but still, i understand what you're saying, and i geuss you could be right.

but then again, i bought a mobile phone so i could have a phone that's mobile.

and beind a man, i put stuff in my pockets, same with my phone.

so a phone should be made to be put in a pocket.

(not back pocket, because i'll crush it when i sit on it, but in the front pocket).

still, i would like to hear from somebody who found a way to disable the menu key.

it doesn't make sense to me at all, to have a touchscreen that you unlock with a button.....
[Desire General] supervinnie40:
still... nodbody seems to know anything as simple as turning off the function of a button....
[Touch HD General] jctcm:
my screen alignment keep out running away for like 30% from the correct point. I couldnt do anything to align back the screen as the alignment run away too muchfor me to click on setting.

I have done soft and hard reset but couldnt help..

please advise
[Touch HD General] gerryjoson:
I think you will probably have to replace the digitizer, a hard reset to the standard rom should have cleared out any software/firmware hoobies, nothing left but hardware.

Still got warranty?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] therevell:
On the original releases of the legend build for hero the camera app gave you the option to record in wvga video capture. The video capture failed and only the sound remained. With tweaking could this be put on the more able overclocked roms and made to work.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hmm. I'm not sure what you mean by WVGA. Do you mean xxx by 480? As I don't remember any ROM working with this.

I think 352x288 is the limit, likely for a good reason
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dipje:
Our hero has to compress the video on the CPU while recording. More than anything CIF or alike is really the limit to get watchable video.

The legend isn't really that much higher in CPU power (cpu's are comparible), but it has enhanced video support for encoding video on the SoC, which is most likely used in the camera app.

That also explains why we get no video at all in the hero without changing anything, it tries to use a library / hardware chip that isn't there.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fcknghll:
slightly off the main point, but is there a way of gaining better audio quality out of the vidoes? i really despise muffled 'amr' quality sound that the hero has. or am i missing something?

Anyone else having issues with the usb port? My computer will only recognize the phone if I am pushing the included cable into the port. As soon as I let the pressure off, the computer stops recognizing the phone.

I think it is a bad port on the Evo. Anyone else experience this/have any suggestions.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdude8:
I actually had an issue with the included USB cable. Using a new cable fixed it for me.

If you have a friend with a microUSB cable (included with every Android phone that I know of), try it out?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chachi:
The loud startup audio is of course a nuisance, and while I've not located the equivalent XML file in this version, I did find that replacing the following file with a 'silent 1s mp3' does the trick :)

/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eduncan911:
On the HTC phones (the ROMs with HTC parts loaded in), there is a boot manager that handles the startup animations and audio. It is located at:

/system/media/bootscreen/ <- this is also where the XML file is that you are talking about. HTC only.

What you listed above is Android's default location, which would be for any other non-HTC device. Good catch!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Arni-01:
Thx for this! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chachi:
On the others yes, but I switched over to the 2.1 (3.31.751.1 Chungwa Taiwan) from Modaco yesterday and that is no longer the case ...

(I've edited the thread title for more clarity)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eddie1506:
It's enough to delete it, no need for replacement audio file. Tried, works fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chachi:
Ok good to know ... always a bit reticient to delete things being referenced 'someplace I have not found' during boot :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eduncan911:
And I also edited my reply, after I tinkered with it a bit more. :)

The HTC ROMs have a boot manager that has the XML file you were talking about.

Non-HTC phones use the standard Android default location, which is hwat you listed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eduncan911:
Deleting the file in the non-HTC default location, which he mentions in the first post, is fine. The Kernel shouldn't complain in the log.

Now, HTC's bootmanager version... I don't know. Their own documented directions say that the audio attribute is required. Forum posts say it is optional.
[Android Apps and Games] ltracte:
is there an application that will allow me to stream video files(regardless of file type) to my android phone?
[Android Apps and Games] jontyab:
Yes,

Check out iStream on the market..

It, along with an accompanying jar server, allow a few streaming/conversion solutions.. Supporting most codecs/containers..

Basically, if you direct the app to play an mp4 stored on the pc, it'll stream it, without reencode, and works pretty well, except for limited controls, and no scaling for aspect ratio..

If you choose, say, an Xvid (or rather, anything else) encoded avi, you can either queue the file to be converted remotely (the .jar can use the handbrake cli) or you can attempt to convert/stream on the fly.. which too, works.. but isn't perfect.

For conversion jobs, you're given a list of appropriate bitrates for audio/video, but i'm personally waiting for support for custom handbrake parameters.

I think there is a free version of the client, I paid (out of curiosity) before there was a free version, so i dont know about 'trial' limitations, and there have been a few updates since i last used it.. but it's the best option i've found, and things can only get better.
[Android Apps and Games] highlandsun:
You can use ffmpeg and ffserver on the PC to do this too. The combination of them can transcode any video into H.264BP that your phone can play over rtsp://.

[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
okay, i don't want to sound like a jerk, and i know a lot of you are excited about your new phones, but you guys are making a mess of this place. there are so many threads getting posted up about the same thing over and over, and in the wrong sections, it is getting a little ridiculous. and, your bad habits encourage other people to do the same thing.

there are some rules around here, and you should have all read them

1) post in the right section. here is a description for you

A. general is for general information. you have something to share? post it there.

B. q&a is for those of you that are having problems. have a question, ask in the question section (make sense so far?)

C. wanna discuss accessories? guess where you do that? if you said the accessories section, you're right.

D. development is for people that are doing the coding. it is not for people to ask questions, or to hear about some new thing you heard about. see A and B

E. theme and applications. you want to find/share a theme? an application? this is the place to do that.

2) the most important thing you can learn here? USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. chances are that someone else has had the same problem you have had, and there is a thread about it. LOOK FOR IT. we don't need umpteen hundred threads about the same thing. it gets old, and makes this place cluttered, and impossible to actually manage. why is the same question getting answered over and over and over ? more importantly, why is it being asked over and over and over?

we are a community, and everybody needs help, or can help, or something, but nobody here deserves to be spoonfed everything. do a little footwork yourself. if you can answer a question, awesome, do it. you have a question, look for the answer before asking it.

please

[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
I have been searching forums since morning but I haven't been able to figure out how to update to 2.1 and still have root access. There is no OTA available on the phone.

Should I download the RUU exe from sprint's website and update to 2.1? I hear that 2.1 root is not possible after that.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction please?

thanks..
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
If you want to root now, DON'T update to 2.1. Get the fresh kitchen and root with that.
[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
HeroMeng, thanks for the reply. could you tell me where do I get kitchen from?
[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
and I think I need to mention it is a CDMA HTC Hero on Sprint
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
You can download the kitchen right here. It only works on Windows, so keep that in mind. Once you download the kitchen, tap the Rooter tab. Check none of the boxes, and press "root" (or something like that).
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Yeah, that's fine. So is everyone's in this section ;)
[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
so I cant get 2.1 on this thing yet ? Kitchen will install a custom 1.5 ROM on it. I managed to read through another forum thread and root the phone. So now I have root on 1.5. I understand that the unrevoked.com root for androind 2.1 wont work after the OTA update. I am beginning to get a little confused. Can I update the phone to RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test Firmware, as it has a built in ROOT ACCESS source link: here though I cant seem to find the download link for 2.20.651.1

sorry if the message is getting convoluted...
[Hero CDMA General] szainmehdi:
Easiest way is to Root with 1.5 using a guide in the Android Dev Section. I did it to 5 CDMA Heros with no prob whatsoever.

And by the way, 2.1 RUU has been rooted.. Search for it in the Dev Section.. (Should be right there on the first page... :)

Once you are rooted, if you want Something thats the official one, but much better, I recommend DamageControl 2.09 or Fresh 2.1
[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
I have root on 1.5 now, I can install Fresh 2.1 using the instructions here ?
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Yes. Yes you can.
[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
done deal, running 2.1-fresh. Also updated the baseband to 2.42.01.04.27... would I have to root again or is it already rooted? Set CPU seems to just give me a black screen and the instructions on the set CPU site is not helping...
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
To get SetCPU, just flash GoDmOdE kernel, you can find it here.
[Hero CDMA General] phobia:
ah I figured it out, the reason for the black screen. For some reason if USB Debugging is not enabled, su wont work. Once I enabled USB Debugging, su works just fine...
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Also you need the kernel I posted above or it won't overclock. Over and underclocking needs a special kernel.
[Hero CDMA General] lohp75:
a little confused

Heromeng, I'm a little confused. I run a non Sprint hero and some of the forums say fresh kitchen is for Sprint hero's only and others say all hero's. Please dial me in bud. I really want root but don't want to go the Sprint run way. I live in Alaska and my carrier is ACS. Thanks bud.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
You can't root with the fresh kitchen. You need to go through a little more steps then Sprint heroes.

Use this guide to root your hero.
[Hero CDMA General] lohp75:
HeroMeng, you rock for gettin right back to me! I've posted questions elsewhereover a month ago and still not heard back. I have read that guide before but didn't want to follow the wrong one and be left with a nice pretty brick. I've read how you help peers and noobs like me and appreciate that. Well I need to fond a Kingston or PNY sd card, I've tried to make a goldcard with 3 different sandisks and they would not take. I know I'm asking big here bit of you could point me in the direction of a good solid reliable ROM that doesn't need to be tweaked to fit my phone and any other advice/guides that would seriously help a brotha out I would greatly appreciate it.
