Teamwork!

I completely agree. It would be much better to work together in getting the hardware working and then to split off to do your own roms based on that.

Lots of devs = lots of features!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:

The rom it links to is FOR CDMA HEROS.

Your Hero is A GSM HERO.

DO NOT FLASH IT!

Never flash a rom if it's not for your phone. Sorry to shout but this is the No. 2 cause of bricking (Behind impatient users during radio flash)

Teamwork means NO competition. Here its all about competition - who will be the 1st to release most stable, coolest, capable ROM on xda. Its like a gang wars.

edit: and I like it, have more ROMs to try
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 42turkeys:
I like the competition, what I'm taking about is devs getting together to get froyo running, then splitting off to make their own roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gewoontim:
I think the devs can better work alone and share their work so other devs can play with it and make things better. We're saying that a community rom is better, but we havent seen one? There are tons of official 2.1 roms here, who needs all those. A froyo rom is much more interesting and as you can see, the cdma guys are really far, and maybe you, devs, can port it. Good luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
thing is - if nobody has gotten the mic working yet, then nobody will get it working if they sit together and try to figure it out.

I would think it's like that anyway.

I know that more minds working together are better than fewer. however the mic not working cant' be a simple problem if nobody has worked it out yet. I know that not all rom builders are actually programmers - many are just really comfortable with computers and with the linux os and so on. but still, with source code available, a programmer who's comfortable with that source code (and I acknowledge that I'm not - and I'm a middle aged senior software developer... but much of the android source I've glanced through so far is unreadable to me LoL...).. anyway, so if a programmer who's comfortable with that code could peruse it for a while they might well be able to solve the problem. But what I really expect is that it will take google releasing a working mic library for froyo for hero gsm piece of the puzzle somehow - maybe an internal google person building it for the community and releasing it anonymously, that has happened in the past I would guess.

so it could take time.

but maybe some genius with the android source like cyanogen will take the time and have the know how to solve the mystery. surely the hero is the #1 android phone still out there...

judging from the community here it seems really popular still.

and to think, I just got a hero a few months back (and one for my wife) because they were only $25 at future shop when we renewed our accounts and we wanted iphones but couldn't afford them LoL

if I'd known anything about android then I'd have been all over these babies without a second thought - instead I had to research and took a leap of faith that the future shop guy was steering us in the right direction (thank you future shop guy - or I mean, former future shop guy (he doesn't work there any more)!

Media Scanning

Hey there,

Did you ever get this sorted out? Looks like you may have. If I may ask, how long was it taking you to sync? So far, the one thing that could be a deal-breaker for this phone is the fact that Media Scanning is taking FOREVER. So far, I think it's been going for at least 45 minutes. Granted, this is a SanDisk 32GB, which is only a class 2, but primarily what I have on there is photos and music, with just a few video clips. The Droid X which I'm also trying takes a fraction of the time (perhaps several minutes but only does once). Is there a way out of the freeze or delay? Not sure it's ever going to finish and don't really wanna start over from scratch again!

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks,

K-
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eaglesteve:
Even without any external SD card, mine is taking time to do media scan. Yes, the wait is annoying, but only when I soft reboot. Not a big deal for me. I suspect that's the way Android works. In winmo and iPhone, there is no such wait. May be you guys with experience on other android phones could confirm that this happens to all android phones?

Get a startupmanager (is in the market) and disable the mediastorage under the system tab. startupmanager is a trial, but after you applied the setting you can uninstall the app and setting remain there. Then if you want to manually scan get the scanmedia app (also in market).

yes it will work.. but better to use nomedia with the huge directory that is causing the hangup or get a faster card.. reason.. if you have any music you want to play or mp3 ringtones.. they will not work if you disable scan. ie you will not have your ringtones.. but stock sounds such as beeping when a call comes in.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackfurlo:
Using a rooted but otherwise stock ROM I removed the "Media Storage" component entirely via Root Uninstall. Now the phone actually takes slightly longer to locate my apps and widgets on boot, however it no longer has to rescan every time I put it in USB Mass Storage mode and/or disconnect it. i use the phone as a flash drive for my job extensively (that and ConnectBot FTW!) so this was a major issue for me.

I suppose disabling the media scanner would be a safer approach, but if anyone is wondering, you CAN safely remove this entirely if you have a rooted phone. In my case, I'm using WinAMP as my music player, so don't need it for that. Gallery still works flawlessly so this service isn't used by Gallery I think.

I have noticed one single side effect of this though. Apparently Google+ installed to my SD card by default, which disabled the Google+ widget entirely (removed it and couldn't re-add it). Simply moving the app to internal storage solved this.

Any idea`s ?

Try going to the skyfire site itself, its borked big time, the first google link is dead, support pages have all gone...and even the download link on parts of the site you can get at are dead....as i said the project is at a hold for uk peeps, as they are doing stuff "server side".

still does not help, because now i have upped my rom to 6.5 skyfire now says i have a limited connection etc....however opera is fine with my "limited" 20mbs wifi connection or even my 7mbs O2 mobile connection :)

From the very beginning I've always diseregarded pictures taken by the HD2 as they always looked with "washed away" colours. And I am not necessarily comparing them to my eos 400d, they do not keep the pace even by far with my very first coolpix 3200, let alone the coolpix s2 I have now.

They may have nice detail sprint, but the way the colour is so undetailed putted me off big time.

Not to say that this effect is absent in your pictures, but they are the very first I see made by the hd2 that have that effect the least visible.

EDIT: since I'm at it, why not asking if you can provide the registry keys that can be imported after every flash in order to update the camera settings to 5M/widescreen off/grid on/sharpness and contrast+4 and so on? ;) You know I'm dead lazy when it comes to search the registry :(

EDIT2: btw, are you sure that the flower here

is really pink-ish and it's not the horrible pink stain in action? ;)

EDIT3: for the comparison sake, this is a picture I shot this morning to take a memento of one of my blossoming plants (it was not a test by any means), and all the quality enhancements have been set:

and I still see the horrible washed out effect...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotombo:
I was having an issue before that would drain my battery even when the phone was idle, but I found out that it was because the phone was trying to connect between 2G and 3G networks and somehow that was a huge problem. Now it barely loses any power when on standby, so that's good.

But I have another problem. While doing something normal, such as browsing the web for 5 minutes, the battery will drain about 5 to 10%. I think that's pretty bad. Shouldn't it only be like 2%? Not even that I think.

2% every 5 minutes of normal use. 100/2 = 50 * 5 = 250 minutes /60 = 4.1 hours of battery life.

Isn't the G1 supposed to have 6 to 8 hours? And mine is running out about 5% from 5 minutes of just browsing the internet.

Here's some stats from Spare Parts > Battery History:

Other Usage

Since last unplugged

Running (40.7%)

Screen on (22.7%)

Wifi On (50.3%)

Wifi Running (50.2%)

All red bars.

What does this mean? I heard red bars were bad, how can I fix this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotombo:
Running is down to 7% and Screen on is at about 6% I think, still red bars. Any ideas still? I've since calibrated my phone and it's obviously better, but not as good as it seems to be for some people who report 14 hours with normal use.

It's at 57% right now with about an hour, maybe two, of use in total. i.e. browser, gensoid, downloading a few apps, and looking around the settings and apps in general.

I'm pretty disappointed seeing as how some people are saying they browsed the internet and listened to music throughout the day and got 12 hours of life out of it. I'm going to try a different ROM after I test the total time browsing and playing tomorrow.

I'm just going to browse the internet and play games or listen to music with it until it dies to test how long it lasts. I'll report back with the time, it probably won't be long.

CM 5.0.8? I just flashed and my battery life is doing the same thing... hell, I took it into the bathroom with me to read some RSS feeds and it said it had 81%, shut itself off, and pretended it was already dead.

I'm about to flash a diff ROM to see if that does the trick, and i've seen other people having the same issue with CM. I might have a dead battery too but it seems so sudden...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Momotombo:
My friend sent me this phone less than a week ago and he said it was fine before he sent it to me. I never got the problem where it shuts off at stupid times.

I'm currently running the latest SuperBad, which is based off CM 5.0.8. I just flashed to it today, here are some stats:

100% 12:40 AM
88% 12:50 AM
75% 01:10 AM

From 12:50 to 1:10 I felt like I was using it more heavily than from 12:40 to 12:50, so that was kind of weird. It even heated up more. I guess it's better now to some extent, but it's still a problem.

40 minutes for 25% battery is still kind of messed up. That's still only 2.6 hours of continued use. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I can text people throughout the day, but what about calls? How long can I make them for? I remember talking to someone for 5 hours straight before I had to plug in my old HTC Titan.

EDIT: I forgot to add that it barely runs out at all when on sleep mode. I went to sleep with it at 44% last night and I woke up with 44%. Then I texted my friend a few times and it went down to 40%, no joke.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
I just bought a new battery for mine and the difference is night and day. I think the battery on the G1 is 2 plus years old now and that is their lifespan. All the recent 2.1 roms have put extra strain on them and the batteries are failing as they a past their sell by dates.

Seriously try a new battery - can be had for a fiver on eBay.

[G1 Android Development] Artifex14:
Hi,

I don't know how-to detect if a device is 32B or 32A automatically.... Logically, if we do a free command during recovery install, we can AUTOMATICALLY check if it's a 32B/A, then, we create a gile on sdcard called 32B/A, or a prop, and when it flash kernel, or wifi module or sound things, we include this prop in the script

Can anyone create this script?

[EDIT]

Many Thanks to Firerat who mades the script, and a little to me, who has the idea!

So the script is here:

#!/sbin/sh
# Idea : Artifex14
# script : Firerat => THE BEST!
# 28.06.10

ram=`free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'`
if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
then
model=32a
echo "32a"
else
model=32b
echo "This device is a 32b"
fi

if [ "model" = "32a" ];
then
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32a.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32b.img
else
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32b.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32a.img
fi
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
I thought about this too. It could be done at the time the rom is flashed, but up to now I only know how to make update-script, not updater-script or update-binary. You could pack all sorts of boot images, and then, say, a system-dream, system-sapphire, and system-magic folder and depending on the board version property, flash the appropriate versions of files, at least in theory that should work, plus it prevents you from having to flash extra files just for cross-device compatibility.
[G1 Android Development] Artifex14:
Can you do the script? For the updaterscript, it's OK!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
et a script to run

free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'

and test that, e.g.

#!/sbin/sh
# KernelPrep.sh

ram=`free|awk '/Mem/ { print $2 }'`
if [ "ram" -gt "97884" ];
then
model=32a
else
model=32b
fi

if [ "model" = "32a" ];
then
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32a.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32b.img
else
ln -s /tmp/boot.img /tmp/boot32b.img
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/boot32a.img
fi

get your updater script to run that, then copy your kernels to /tmp/

package_extract_dir("kernels", "/tmp");

or

copy_dir PACKAGE:kernels TMP:

next you can

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),

or

write_raw_image TMP:boot.img BOOT:

edit:

ps, you don't really need the second if statement, but its easier to read like that

oops , nearly forgot about the kernel modules

mount /system
install -d /system/lib/modules
ln -s /system/lib/modules /tmp/modules32a
ln -s /dev/null /tmp/modules32b
