Good point...the fact is cyanogenmod wouldn't be as big with as many great ethusiastic devs without the praise it got...but is that a fair compromise for contributions...
[Nexus One General] Gr8gorilla:
I really think that the issue is the same as black droid. The Problem isn't that king copied the rom and redistributed it. The problem is that he did so claiming that it was his work based off of CM. When in reality he downloaded a a finished copy of CM, compiled by the CM team, and then changed a few lines the build.prop, renamed it and asked for donations. I personally can't see how that is helping the community at all. I really don't care about King one way or the other but I do think that the people who do the work should get credit for it. They spend countless hours writing code for us to have for FREE. Code you yourself says is better than what google puts out. They do this in their spare time and ask for nothing but recognition. You think that is wrong? I am amazed by this. Really I am.
[Nexus One General] caysman:
Don't misunderstand me. Payment is due, for sure, and payment makes our world go round, but I do wish it were not in the form of mousy prestige, rotten evil currency that it is. Money is a much better choice, but prestige seekers pretend to loathe $ probably because $ is less ambiguous.
[Nexus One General] caysman:
But they do not explicitly ask for recognition do they? Even the great cyanogen does not do that, because once they impose recognition expressly as a mode of payment you would recognize that their asking for your adulation and love would seen a more demanding payment than asking for cash.

And also the inconvenience of the prestige seekers being more easily mistaken for all the money grabbing corporations which they demonize.

I'd make it clear that I have not wanted anything other than cyanogen's roms during my g1 days, and adulation I'd gladly pay, plus I have donated in money.

These guys made android exciting and formed PART of the inspiration for the paid android developers. It is unfortunate that the society's misconception of altruism as ' good' destroyed a lot of the language required to denounce it as the evil it actually is.
[Nexus One General] flybyme:
it was actually jubehs rom he did that with.....

@OP, Omitting credit and stealing are completely different things. kk downloaded jubehs rom and changed 5-10 files and claimed it as his own. when confronted with this, kk said he compiled it himself even though the evidence overwhelmingly pointed at the other direction. He claimed to have built it from asop, when all he did was take someones rom and change a few files. if he said he "cooked" the rom from another (even without saying who) he would have been ok. But he continued to lie after he was caught which is probably why the ban hammer was dropped.

Most of this plus the damning evidence is located in the g1 section.

Also, android does not follow the GNU licensing, it follows apache, and by default, the devs who release their material here are also released under apache. Apache allows people to see the source so they can better understand it to develop, but people who use the source to develop something from it are not required to open source their works. they are also allow to put their own terms which would include giving proper credit.

AFAIK xda mods actually work together to decide on what to do with offenders. i know thats what they did for the wrecking crew (though some mods were less fair than others -_- )

PS: i havent used cyanogen mod since like 3.6.8 before the C&D lol
[Nexus One General] Gr8gorilla:
The sad fact is, it takes money to live in the world today. A lot of these programmers make good money 9-5 at their day jobs. The average computer engineer spends about 100,000 dollars going to college then makes about 60-70k per year after. This is working on a salary basis probably putting 40-60 hours per week. After that they spend another 20+ writing code for us because they like to. I can completely understand the devs wanting someone who copied and renamed their work to be banned.

That would be like you taking Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, Calling it Circle of Fire and trying to sell it as your own. You would get sued, etc. Come on people how can you defend this guy, come on really?
[Nexus One General] fubaya:
Tl,dr the OP.

If this is true, he got what he deserved. I had a similar thing happen when I wrote a script for the iphone which gets about 75-100 downloads a day. Someone from a forum put their name on it, posted it saying they were up all night writing it and put a donation link at the bottom of their post.

When confronted, they lied and said it didn't work so they rewrote it, but a simple comparison showed the only changes made was to echo commands which displayed the author's name and some text about how to run it. They also had no clue how it worked and gave bad advice about how to use it, and there were a lot of people on that forum using it, having problems and asking questions.

I didn't really care, and I never got a penny for my work, but it forced me to think about it, and what I came up with was: what use is there in having that kind of thing around? They aren't contributing or advancing ideas, they're confusing them and possibly screwing things up.

The douche that stole my script went from "moderator" to "supermoderator" at that site. If that was your site, why would you even want to keep him around? I'm not a banhammer kinda guy, but there's no upside to allowing things like that to continue.

whether you were in the right or not.:mad:

I think credit should just be given when you use someones work just like you would want the same for your work.

Delete if not acceptable.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Oh for ****'s sake.

OP, you're being a white-knighting ninny. KK got what he deserved: "open-source" doesn't mean an eradication of common courtesy--and crediting is common courtesy. You're trying to weasel around "blah blah why don't we credit HTC and Google" which is sheer, utter, retarded straw man. We know who developed Android by implication unless you live under a rock. Not so with specific individual community contributions.

Besides, what did KK even do? All I saw in the N1 development section from him was ROMs based off other people's work slightly modified, or rubbish that never worked like his attempt to port Blur. I say good riddance. The fact that he managed to scam donations off people hardly helps his case. I'd sooner donate to the source/original contributors, not such a juvenile, plagiarizing, useless waste of oxygen.

This is the 10th time I see a thread about this...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Android allows for customization of 8 bands of sound, each with individual values for gain, frequency range, type and qf. The EQ settings is disabled per default in our X10s, and this and more information is stored in a file called AudioFilter.csv (/system/etc/).

I wrote a handy little JAR-application that helps you edit this file and save a new copy on your PC. With our new found root privileges, this can then be pushed to device and overwrite the existing settings, modifying your X10's sound levels as you see fit.

As the /system/ parition is mounted as read-only filesystem, we can't simply push files straight to /system/etc. Therefore we will push the file to the /sdcard/ and, remount the partition as read-write, and then use the superuser privileges to copy the file over and replace the existing one.

Start by editing the AudioFilter.csv. Here is a copy of the original X10 settings file (Download: MegaUpload, MediaFire). Open it in the app, and edit it to your liking. Then save it as a new copy and follow the instructions below on how to replace the current settings. To enable the EQ, set "Enabled" value to 'FFFF', and then play with the bands' individual values. When you have the EQ set, move on to the step by step instructions:

1. PC: "adb push AudioFilter.csv /sdcard/

2. PC: "adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system"

3. X10: "su"

4. X10: "cp /sdcard/AudioFilter.csv /system/etc/"

5. X10: "reboot"

And there you go, your settings should be changed after boot. I am new to Android, so please correct me if I am completely lost on the matter.

This is not yet working, so no need to download yet - if you don't want to help out of course!

Download: MegaUpload, MediaFire

You know Java, we have root, why not making an android app to do just that? :)

What's the point of running commands when you can do it directly from an app?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Karooluss:
oh, it's geat idea to put EQ into X10 !! But has anyone tested?? Plz do android app and clear tutorial how to ..... :)

Edit: Do you have a link to explain the freq codes?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Karooluss:
I don't understand instruction how to apply the equalizer, I havent also my x10 rooted but I will do.... could anyone do instructions how to instal the eq, step by step?????
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gavriel18:
@karooluss

Download both links, Mr Rusch's csv, and x10 EQ. Open eq, hit open file, find csv you downloaded. To apply follow the script on the first page.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
If I may assume this works like any other normal EQ: The bands themselves are not controlling different things as someone said here before, but rather different frequency ranges. So basically, per the default settings - band1 are the very lowest of frequencies (most probably rumbling "bass" sounds), and band8 are the highest (sounds we can probably not even hear). I will try to explain it part by part..

Gain: This is volume increase/decrease, normally measured in dB.

Freq. (Frequency Range): This is the peak of the frequency range, which together with Type and QF determines the effect on the sound curve.

Type: This is the type of filter used on this frequency range. I believe 1 represents a lowpass filter, 2 a highpass filter, and 3 a notch filter. There may be more types, I don't know.

QF (Quality Factor): This is, simply put, the width of the curve in this frequency range. A low QF usually affects a wide frequency range, and a high QF usually a narrow one.

As for the values used, these are all half a byte of hexadecimal. 0 is zero, or null. FFFF is max, and would in decimal represent 65535. So, the frequency values used by standard (from band1 through 8) are 400, 500, 2000, 4000, 5000, 8000, 9000, 18000 in decimal, and probably actually a Hz value.

So, the values you enter have to be in HEX. Use a decimal to hexadecimal converter if HEX values are completely foreign to you.

This one would help a lot.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] gavriel18:
@mrrusch

Thanks for the update on how to use but one more question (it may be dumb) does changing the number in enable have any effect? I also turned the qf to 500. It seems like mp3s are a bit clearer but i cant hear a difference in wav files. Im using westone 3s no amp
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrRusch:
Enable needs to be set to either 0 or FFFF (0 = off, FFFF = on). This toggles whether to use the EQ or not.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] superleeds27:
When opening the original enable is set to 0. Therefore its turrned off. If we turn it on and save it. Would we ntice any difference?
[HTC Aria General] cjperone:
I'm running Beta 3 Rom rooted ROM. I accidentally hit fix permissions in ROM Manager app and now my battery is seriously lasting about 7 hours longer with the same usage and no tinkering. Also I'm getting less forced closes overall. Not sure why ... and I'm not sure if doing this is very dangerous and leaves me vulnerable going forward. Anyone know if this makes any sense? What does fix permissions do in Rom Manager? Is this a fluke? Try at your own risk ... I'm just not sure. If anyone knows of a possible explanation or is brave enough to try it ****AT POTENTIALLY GREAT RISK *** post your results here. BE CAREFUL ... BE CAREFUL ... BE CAREFUL.

How much total battery life were you getting before and after the fix?

I'm running attn1's rom and I get excellent battery life, like literally 1.5-2 full days of average use before it goes down to 0.
[HTC Aria General] acardinale:
I'm getting maybe 15 hours.
[HTC Aria General] Googa:

[HTC Aria General] SysAdmNj:
Can you reverse this if you wanted to?
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
i dont think you can reverse it.

i would reccomend a nandroid backup before you do this.
[HTC Aria General] SysAdmNj:
Quick question, if I needed to wipe to restore settings from a nandroid backup. Would I get everything as it previously was, latest rom installed, with all my apps?
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
I believe nandroid is a full backup, almost like an image. So if you needed to recover it it should restore your phone to how it was when you ran nandroid.
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
When you restore a nandroid backup everything returns to exactly how it was when you did the backup, I.e.homescreen, unread texts, notifications, settings apps and all.
[HTC Aria General] tomlogan1:
Which Rom manager did you use? I got one from the market and installed it. When I attempted to fix permissions, it did nothing. BTW my Aria is rooted and has sideload capabilities. Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
assuming this does work anyone have a theory on why?
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
Quick question guys. How long does your phone take to fully charge? I've had my phone today from 8am to 7pm

Plugged it in and after being plugged in for about an hour and fourty min. It says it is at 100% but the light is still red. I did repair permissions and rebooted I'll see if it helps tomorrow.
[HTC Aria General] eortizr:
How do you guys do the fix permissions thing? I have the liberated Rom and my battery only last like 7 hours
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
you have to use Rom Manager, download it from the market. you have to have clockwork recovery installed also. Now 7 hours for battery life, is that under heavy, moderate or light use? if thats under heavy use thats not bad at all. also depends on what widgets your using and how your phone syncs, updates weather etc. theres alot you can do to optimize battery life without the permission fix, if it even works?.
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:
it depends on if im using my phone while its charging, it can take anywhere from 1-3 hours, or more if it gets hot and stops charging. and what percent did you start charging your phone at? from like 15% to a full charge without using my phone, itll take approximately about an hour and a half
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
It was 15% and it took ~2 hours to reach 100% and turn the led green. so i basically got 11 hours with medium heavy use which is pretty good.

General Battery tips.

Remember you are running a lithium ion battery, that means it is important to get a full charge on the first charge, and also charge it as often as possible. Letting it often get to the critical state can have long term negative effects on battery life. Such is the limit of our battery tech.

Optimize how many apps you have running, use advanced task killer etc. I also heavily recommend that you change how often your phone looks for updates, facebook notifications etc.

Turn gps on only when you need it.

Ditto for wireless.

I let my phone auto the brightness of the screen.

I generally get 2-3 days battery life, I talk for approx 1 hr a day. I watch videos/ play emulators for 1hr a day and I frequently text, update calendar information, and setup checklists.

As far as permissions go, chances are if you declined on many of them, some of your apps can no longer check for updates etc. So you are suddenly getting the battery life I get by making sure my apps are always dead unless I need them.

Also remember, many apps turn on automatically when you restart your phone, so run the app killer when you boot.

Good luck.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
That's funny, I have always heard that when you first get your phone you should let the battery get critical the first few times as this conditions the battery to have the longest life it can. I have also heard that charging your battery often when it isn't even very low will over time shorten how long it will last before it needs a charge.

Found this on batteryuniversity.com, it supports what you said but also says you should fully discharge your battery once in a while.
[HTC Aria General] DamnCampers:
Out of odd curiosity are we not resetting this digital gauge they are talking about every time we flash a new rom if we are clearing all the old info out? Or is more like the battery has memory of sorts that isn't really there but remembers this sort of thing?
[HTC Aria General] oddlike7:
Just adding my 2 cents for battery saving... I noticed recently after allowing the Maps application to update, my battery was dying a whole lot faster. After a bit of research, I found the Maps App was using battery life without even launching the app. So I uninstalled the update, and reverted back to the stock Maps version. Suddenly my battery life is back to normal, and Maps no longer shows any background usage.

And just incase someone does try HINT HINT . Ok heres my problem. I charged my phone to full - green led . Problem comes when I power off phone and plug charger back in phone automaticly boots into hboot ( Thats with the stock charger plugged into a wall socket not computer ) I tried to charge phone that way but led never tirns green so I charged it all night that way. Powered phone back on fully , then turned off and charged again in hboot led never turning green . Cleared batt data in hboot and powered on . Battery life is unimproved drains fast if not faster than before lol . Hope someone can help . Main problem being how do I get phone to charge with power off and not booting into hboot when charger plugged in.

[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
I was wondering that as well.

Sent from my HTC Intruder.
[HTC Aria General] oddlike7:
From one noob to another, I noticed the same thing happening with mine. So long as clockwork recovery is installed, there is no way to charge the phone in an off state. If you leave the charger attached while the recovery menu is on screen, it will definitely charge. However, the LED indicator is not functional for charge status.

The best way to charge is just to leave the phone booted, and allow the screen to sleep.
