[General Questions and Answers] feisu:
The problem is the emulator do not have boot.img so that we have to split it into 2files. I use a perl script called split_bootimg.pl to make it. it has boot.img-ramdisk.gz and boot.img-kernel as output .

if I onlyrename boot.img-ramdisk.gz to ramdisk.img and replace the old one in platforms\android-7\images. and replace the custom system.img the emulator running but without services. I cannot get access to internet etc.

but if I rename boot.img-kernel to kernel-qemu. the emulator wont even startup and show up. what's the problem? can I just use the old emulator kernel? anything different from the custom rom's boot.img's kernel?and is there anyway to make the custom rom fully working with service? with the offical sdk rom and ramdisk.img. when I startup the system. I have a 3g icon over the top and have signal.but now I dont have. anyone know a solution for this? Thankyou.

[Nexus One General] Avalaunchmods:
its been verified as the frf50 leak. thanks for the verification. if anyone else wants to test/try feel free to

I was told by a source that this is what HTC will be sending out as froyo. you must have 2.1 installed and if you install this YOU WILL LOSE ROOT

I have not tested this yet. and i dont have an nexus one. im about to port to the evo to see what exactly this bad boy has.

the source reports many fixes that are not included with the leaks. once again i cant verify this. to developers, i recommend tearing this apart and loading it as an update.zip without the recovery. load the patches the same way.

it does seem to have some differences from what i have seen. If you brick/lose root/blow up your house, please dont blame me :D

report findings back here or do w/e you want with it. ill update with what i find on the evo.

Official Froyo

Anyone check it out yet?
[Nexus One General] mnlk2:
i'll try, i'll report if this rom is good :)
[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
change the topic title though, don't make it seem like an official update...when its untested and unverified...just sayin.
[Nexus One General] godsfilth:
its only 44megs dosnt that seem a little small considering that frf50 about 70megs

edit: nevermind that was a rooted build i remembered seeing the size on ill be quite now
[Nexus One General] Avalaunchmods:
ok after second review this looks very clean. it seems to add alotttt to what you all had in the leaks.

im still working on the patch files but from looks of it, i think you all are gonna be happy.

btw if a dev can get me a update.zip of the patch files it would help me out alottt. as its nearly impossible to get the patchs ported without the full files

changed title name.

How come the download is named updare. Zip. Fu k you keyboard, I'm not going back.
[Nexus One General] death1246:
Sense UI? Anyone know?
[Nexus One General] Avalaunchmods:
what do you mean updare? like a said up top. idk if this is real or not. thats why i asked you all to verify it. if someone verifys its fake ill take it off and ill find out who the source is.

the guy who provided it to me has posts here on xda and joined in 2009. so i dont see why he would provide me with a fake
[Nexus One General] mnlk2:
i've just update my N1 with this update, it just a ERE27 to FRF50 update.zip but look like to be from google
[Nexus One General] Avalaunchmods:
ok ill change that to frf50. thats good enough for me lol. any other info you can provide?
[Nexus One General] mnlk2:
it's same "official" beta update as other posted in many ERE27 to FRF50 topic, nothing more
[Nexus One General] Avalaunchmods:
alright thank you very much. ill change the title and let this die.

if you find anything different just send me a msg. thanks!

Anyone else having issues with their Evo connecting more than 2 devices at a time? I tested 2 laptops, 4 desktops, an iPhone and Nintendo DS (for the 8 total which Sprint says it will support). I could only get 2 devices to connect at a time.

It didn't matter what the combination of devices were, but every time I tried to get a third device on - it wouldn't connect. FRUSTRATING!!!!

Everything is still stock - no root/flash/nothing.

I've also been testing my 4G speeds and still average 1.6Mb down & .48Mb up in either hotspot or tethered mode. Could I have a fault with the WiFi or 4G radio that's causing these issues?

Any advice is appreciated!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judicious:
i'm new to android..yes it's been awhile since I upgraded, I'm still using my winmo. I'm planning to get the aria, but had a few questions.

I noticed a few folks are complaining about no side loading apps, but this won't be an issue if you root the phone right?

About rooting, it's equivalent to unlocking the phone? What happens if you root it? Do you have to flash it with a rom or does it still operate the same way? Does it downgrade to something else other than the eclair?

Do you need to have the 'gold card' on the SD card while rooting the Aria?

I'm totally new to this, so unsure of all of the 'rooting' activities. I'm used to the flashing and HardSPL stuff.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modest_mandroid:
You don't need to root the phone to sideload applications. You can actually get around it easily with the developer's tools (developer.android.com, download the sdk, it'll have a directory called 'tools' inside and a program in there called 'adb')

There's a guide on how to do it in the development forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706887

As for rooting, it's basically the same thing as jailbreaking an iphone. It gives you admin privileges to your phone, so you have the option of flashing a custom rom, or removing att's crapware.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda703:
I completed the rooting process without a gold card, also sideloading apps is stupid easy with the guide that's posted in response
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judicious:
Do I need to set up adb? I've been browsing through few forums, and some phones require it, but not sure if Aria does. Is adb requirement dependent on an app, rom, or the actual phone itself?

What exactly is a gold card for? I heard that some Rom flashes need it and also needed for rooting the Aria. Do I just leave the gold card inside the phone while rooting?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judicious:
Did you follow the same steps in the guide? I wonder if it will brick the phone without the gold card.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda703:
yes I followed the guide step by step and this is my first android phone as well so it was all new to me and the guide made things easy. the only frustrating part was getting the phone to recoverymode with adb.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judicious:
I hear a lot about 'recovery' mode..what exactly is it? is it like hard reset? when you rooted your phone, did you have to install the rom again? or you used it as-is how you bought the phone?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
recovery mode is just like your hard spl but you have a recovery image on the phone that allows you to flash roms and other zip files. android is alot diff than that of windows and the way that you go about flashing roms and themes. Overall you will like android tons more because winmo is outdated and slow.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcaxrb71:
This will be my first android phone, so obviously it will be my first with sense ui. Can you use user-defined images as background images? And what would make for a good resolution for such images so they look normal when panning left/right.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbizz:
I would probably use a 640 x 480 wallpaper. If you are creating your own wallpapers, and want a crisp looking image, it wouldnt hurt to use 300dpi. There is also an Android App you can get from Zedge.net, they have some really nice wallpapers.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modest_mandroid:
if you want to make it span across all 7 screens, it'd have to be 2240x480.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcaxrb71:
Thank you both. I'm sure I'll have a fun time messing with it next week when I pick up my phone. I was debating on saving some extra cash for an iPhone 4 or the new Samsung galaxy/whatever, but I'm really not impressed with the user interface of either of them. They both kind of have that "endless pages of icons" thing going on, which is pleasantly absent from the Sense UI from what I've seen from other HTC phones.

What is a gold card?

I've seeing lots of mentions of gold cards, but haven't seen any explanation of what they are.

Can someone enlighten (and others) or send me a link to learn about it?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mh333:
I think its how you format the sd card is why it dosen't work, not the fact of it being a gold one. Can someone confirm? Does the sd card have to be formated in fat32 or something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
there is a setting under settings / wireless and networks / mobile networks that says "enable always on mobile data"

Switching this to off about doubled my battery life and everything still seemed to work okay as far as data goes. All my apps worked including things that check or update periodically in the background - so I'm not sure what this feature does.

The only downside is that the phone would crash periodically in areas with poor reception. It would go back to the sprint boot animation and come up after a minute and the uptime would not be reset.

Imconvinced part of the battery life problem is due ton inefficient use of data, but I'm wondering what can be done about it without sacrificing stability. Ahylne else have a similar experience or willing to try it out or have more information?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midri:
Trying this out, seeing what it effects it has on my normally used apps. So far (first 20 minutes of doing it) everything seems to run fine. I would guess this causes the phone to "hibernate" the 3g radio whilst locked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbgotenks:
I started doing this on Hero and continue to do it on the Evo. The biggest issue is that if you are using pandora (or similar app), it causes problems when the phone goes to sleep.

The setting stops your 3g connection when the screen goes to sleep. This prevents the phone from updating email, twitter or whatever else you use. As soon as you turn the screen on, it turns on 3g, downloads your email etc.

I check my phone often enough (for the time or whatever) that I don't mind not getting my email immediately (it downloads when I turn the screen on).

This has saves a ton of battery life. The only time I enable always on mobile network is to listen to pandora. I have done this since day 1 and have had no issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy949:
I tried this last week and it made a massive difference in battery life. I turned it back on though because I do like my phone to download things while it is idle. I also don't want to get used to the improved battery life just to have to switch it back later. :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermayhm:
i dont know if any of you have heard of juice defender what it does the same thing pretty much. with a few exceptions. whereby you can set the program up to allow your phone to take data even if your screen is off at a certain duration of time, then it will go back to sleep.

thats a really simple explanation of what the app does. if anyone of you does decide to use the app let me know i can share my settings more specifically. I have increases my battery life by 87% and i have have 0 problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
I have this option unchecked and not only has my battery life improved, but I don't notice any performance or stability issues.

Also, my data continues to download in the background as normal (regardless of whether the screen is on or off). I have Facebook and Twitter set to download data every so often and it continues to do so. Even Google Voice will notify me of messages even if the screen is off.

I think what this option does is, when checked, makes the radio work hard to find and keep a data connection (especially in low signal areas). I notice that with the option unchecked, my data connection drops a bit more often than with it on. I don't mind that though seeing that the data connection simply reconnects automatically and almost instantly.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
Would you all mind doing an experiment for me? Turn this option off (so data is not constantly on) and turn your screen on and put it in your microwave so it loses signal*.

Watch it and see if it crashes. I suspect something about this setting being off is causing the phone to crash when it loses its cell connection momentarily.

*Don't turn on your microwave.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthing:
Okay so after more research I'm pretty sure the main instigator of poor battery life is the data connection constantly going wild. According to SystemPanel my phone hangs out doing nothing downloading at 100-200Kbps for large amounts of time. Not sure what it's downloading.

To find out what apps were causing this I used Spare Parts and saw this:

Click for full size

So a process with the PID of "0" is what is using most of the data connection, followed by UID 10011 which is contact/calendar/mail sync. I can click through to 10011 and get details, but if I try to click on PID "0" I get a force close.

There is also another preference under Accounts & Sync for "background data" and "auto-sync." I'm not sure what the difference is between this background data setting and the one in wireless & networks that says "enable always-on mobile data." Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Also interesting is what was happening when I had always on data disabled:

Click for full size

You can see where my phone was crashing but look at my battery life before and after the crash. It looks like it has dipped significantly. Also, the crashes only lasted a minute while the phone rebooted, not nearly as long as what was recorded here - so it's possible something was going on with the battery life before the phone crashed.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convexmacrolabs:
The option is not meant to enable/disable applications from using the data connection when the screen is off, so applications should be able to continue updating.

What the option is meant to do is to determine whether your phone should maintain data connectivity all the time, even when there are no apps using data. Unchecking the option means that when an app needs data, it must first connect, then make its request. This makes it take a little longer (or maybe a lot longer for 4G which seems to take longer to initialize a connection).

As you see from the attached image, those orange lines on the image is annoying!

in both Image/Video mode!

also i realized my phone got hot during the charging!. even touching the screen i can feel the temp!.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAJED.y:
after research and thinking,

i think the solution in changing the "Flicker rate" ot Flicker adjustment from 50hz to 60h for example, but i don't find it in th menu!.

any help will be appreciated. :)

something like this as HTC Desire

[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
I think it's flickering from lighting, if you were taking the photo inside with artificial lighting. Then what you might see is the flickering from the lights. 50Hz in Europe and 60 Hz in US.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oxylos:
that sounds very good. I was talking ****, sry ;)

But without possibility to modify flicker freq its unusable :eek:

Don't take pics indoor then :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAJED.y:
Here in the middle east i don't know the rate of Hz.

but in case of what you stated now, there should be setting in the camera to control the flicker rate! something like the webcam setting to get ride of it.

the quality is good for the cam but this flickering killing me.

:eek::D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
It does look like either something to do with interference, or internal lighting. Try setting it to 'Dawn' as this will slow the shutter speed and should eliminate any artificial lighting flicker, or try taking some photos outside. I've not seen anything like it on mine:

Although I've not tested it much indoors, the pics I did have seemed clean.

Er, one other thought I just had, was the phone on charge when you took your photos?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAJED.y:
In all setting the same effect ( camera setting- AC or Battery), although the outdoor shoot is clean by the way,looks like the built-in rate 50Hz in the phone which is ofcourse I bought it from UK is not compatible with my country standard as we seems to me is 60Hz.

I hoped this phone has Flicker adjustment like HTC desire!.

Is there an app can adjust this setting!

Edited..

I added outdoor photo as a test (low quality)

[Windows Mobile Themes] Puckmeister:
Hi there,

i searched the forum for a while now for a problem that every now and then pops up for me after reflashing. I'm searching for an automatic way to assign my own thumbnail graphics on the sense internet tab.

I use the manual way sometimes after flashing, but it is not satisfying me, because it takes lot of time to copy the files, rename my original files to the newly created ones and copy them back. So most of the time i don't use the icons...

Yes, i know that the pics have to be 512x512px PNG Files, and i also know that they are stored under Windows\Thumbnails ;).

I'm searching for where the information for the lookup of these pics (for example {2B1EE4E4-651F-D4DC-708B-DB1319CA381E}.png) is stored. I neither found it in the registry, nor in the filesystem as plain text. I copied the whole file system to my pc and did a in-file-search.

For me there are now to last possibilities where to find them:

Theyre stored as hex values in registry or in filesystem, so that a normal textsearch is useless or

theyre stored in a database file.

If someone has an idea which file it is or if theres another possibility i would be glad to hear it. It makes me crazy that we can change EVERYTHING on our wm-devices since years, but something like the bookmark icons (whch is significant for me) is so hard to find :p

best regards, Puckmeister
