Thanks for the help all.

After installing handbrake to convert some trailers I am finally seeing a not-so-****ty picture. The whole re-encoding thing bites hard though. Who really has time to convert all their **** or even wants to do it selectively? I know I don't.

The fact that the device isn't capable of creating its own hdmi content is pretty bad and somewhat misleading: 720P on vidcam app during record....720P hdmi signal out per notification window...sounds like a match to me!

For all "practical" purposes the hdmi port is fubar.

#1 You don't get desktop 'experience' on hdmi out

#2 Feature doesn't come for "free", apps must be individually hdmi-enabled (yeah right)...so no TermSrvr or VNC

#3 Device can't create videos for clean hdmi playback (at least with native 720p vid recording app)
[EVO 4G General] cesjr02:
where are you guys getting your HDMI cables? last time I checked monoprice didn't stock them.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Agree. The hdmi out is wasted space on this phone. If it worked, this thing would be the hub of my media center! Especially with stuff like JetFlix streaming in crisp hi-def to the t.v. But, no. With the quality as-is, I don't see myself ever using it.

I suppose I could encode existing movies for playback, but why would I use my phone to store them? I'd just burn a dvd or bring a external hard drive. At that point, I'd just be using my phone to watch them on a plane or something, and you don't need an HDMI port for that.

But this isn't a dealbreaker for me. I still love the phone.

Hi

My beloved HTC Prophet is stuck at 'Tap Screen to Align' :(

History:

It fell from my hands and hit the floor with set facing down, touch screen stopped working at once, hardware buttons were working but I couldn't use the phone as I had placed a password for unlocking

I connected it through USB and used mobiler .... everything else except the touchscreen was working fine

I did a hard reset by using MOBILER

unfortunately my cell does not go fwd from 'Tap Screen to Align' as it doesnt accept any Taps

Repair:

I went to (an unauthorized) repairing shop where they instantly replaced its (upper) touch screen, but in vain.... they say they cant understand the problem

Kindly help me ... I dont want to lose my beloved prophet :(

Looking forward to your help

I'm probably missing something obvious but I haven't been able to find out how to randomize music. It just progresses through my playlists in alphabetical order. I've gone through all the settings in the player and also looked in the manual but can't find any info on how to do it.
[Vibrant General] mdanerd:
just go to the first music tab for all, pick random song, right above the progress bar for the song theres a shuffle icon, tap it
[Vibrant General] Inat:
Awesome. Thanks a lot. I new it was something simple. ;)

Btw, do you know if there's a way to add multiple albums/artists/genres to a playlist at once?
[Vibrant General] mdanerd:
no idea, long press id imagine, but im in the small group of people who get database errors when sorting by artist
[Vibrant General] Inat:
Yeah, tried that but it doesn't work. Don't think there's anyway. It gets extremely tedious when you have a lot of songs each by a different artist. In the playlist you have to:

1.) Hit the Settings button

2.) Press "Add"

3.) Press "Sort by Artist"

4.) Press the artist you want to add

5.) Select the songs you want to add from that artist (or press "Select All)

6.) Press "Add"

7.) Go back to 1

That's a minimum of 6 presses just to add one artist. :/
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
you can also hit the 'All' tab, press 'Menu', 'Add to playlist' and then you'll have an alphabetical list of all of your songs with check boxes. go down the list checking off what you want to add to your playlist, click 'Add' and then select the playlist you would like to add them to or just create a new one.

hopefully that will save you some time. however, would be nice to just long press on a specific album and add the whole thing at once.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
Hey All,

First I want to apologize if this isn't the place for this thread or if this has been brought up before.

Now onto what I came here for. I have a myTouch 3G phone (the one without the jack) and I have rooted my phone a couple of months ago. The rooting process went fine and currently I'm running the CyanongenMod 4.2.15.1 rom on my phone. It's running fine as it should be. Now my dilemma is when I tried to update to CM 5.0.7 or 5.0.8. At first when I flashed the rom, I thought everything was fine during the setup process but then when it came to using any Google apps, none of them seem to work with the exception of GTalk and Google Maps. I've tried the troubleshooting guide where it says to do the fix_permissions but that didn't work at all. After about 3 days of trial and error, I finally admitted defeat and flashed back to CM 4.2.15.1. I also came to the conclusion that my phone will only take 1.5 & 1.6 roms whereas any roms 2.0 and above will not work correctly. I even tried to flash CM 6.0 RC1 and it got stuck at the green boot screen.

My question is there something wrong with my phone or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else ran into this problem? Please let me know because I would love to have the 2.0 and above roms on my phone.

Thanks in advance

Did you do a full wipe and then upgrade?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
Yes I did a complete wipe, even did the command that you do in fastboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Diamond_dawg:
u gotta install the google pack i think....for that u will find it in cyanogen forums
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
If you mean by installing the gapps after flashing the rom, I've done that already. Also I've even reflashed the gapps again just to make sure and I also tried the fix_permissions and that didn't work either.

I also saw that the browser was acting funny too (not sure if that's part of gapps)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] scargoll:
Hello,

In your sign, you're using an old rom with the old method of app2sd (on /system/sdcard/), newer rom uses /sd-ext/ but 1.6.2 recovery is not compatible with the new method.

Not sure but try to update your recovery with 1.7.0.

Good luck, Scargoll.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
scargoll, i failed to mention that I'm already using Amon Ra's 1.7G recovery image. I need to update my sig (my bad). also as i stated before, i tried upgrading to CM 5.0.8 and running into issues, that's why i'm still running CM 4.2.15.1

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
appledroid, i've tried relashing both CM 5.0.7 and CM 5.0.8 roms gapps. the roms flashes fine but when it comes to using the gapps (with the exception of GTalk & Maps), they either close without a warning or i get a app loop (GMail does that most before it finally closes without warning)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrisgto4:
sounds to like your running out of space on a partition while flashing. try fireat's mtd partition hack and see if it works for u.

flash the 1.1 zip

flash cm6

flash gapps

flash 1.2 zip

and then reboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
hey chris,

running out of space on a partition - are you talking about the space on the phone or on the SD Card? if it's the SD Card, not sure how that's possible when I have 4GB card (also it's not partitioned as of now but before I did have it partitioned)

if i follow this route, do i need to flash CM 6 or can I flash CM 5.0.8?

also where can i find the 1.1 and 1.2 zip files?

in any case, i'll try both to see what's up :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:
um does anyone know what chris is talking about?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] OnlyOneBDS:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kompheak:
hey im not to sure why u cant switch to the latest cm roms. cause mine is doing fine on every updates.

i use clockworkmod recovery

try redownloading the rom. while downloading, watch ur downloading progress bar, makesure u have good internet connection. do not let the data connection change speed( switching from 3g to e or g) do not let phone switch from portrait to landscape.

if any of the above does happen you will have to cancel current download then redownload.

try to download cm6 rc3 - its 2.2 and it have lots of goodies. gapps are also preinstall

well i had this problem too... i was stuck on green screen... setup abort... gapps was acting up... so i did the above and everything is fine...

i hope this works for

rooted mt3g 32b cm6-rc3 htcClay 1.3
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kompheak:
forgot to mention... since u have this problem, i recommend a full wipe... i dont kno if it is ok to flash without wipe from cm4 to cm5 or 6... flashing rom over another rom is wat i normally do... cause i hate reinstalling apps

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gcmvanloon:
I'm amazed by all the different versions of firmware for the SGS. I'm even more amazed by the elaberate versioning scheme samsung uses to keep them apart.

I currently use stock rom XXJF3 (with all it's shortcommings :mad:).

From other websites I've learned XX indicates the region J is the year 2010 F is for June and 3 is some kind of increment of that month (which doesn't stop at 9). I've seen mentions of I9000XWJFD which would be 13 (hex)? (I know Samsung needs to fix things but should it take them 13 tries in one month before they get it right?;))

There are several tables out there explaining how to read these version numbers but none of them seem to be complete. E.g. I couldn't find which region XW represents. Someone can explain?

What bothers me most is that there are no change logs. Correct me if I'm wrong. Nobody can say for sure what is fixed in XWJFD. There is certenly room for improvement there.

Change management on all these different versions must be a nightmare for Samsung. I wouldn't want to be a dev on their team, branching and merging codebases all day long with so many versions to maintain.

I think this is one of the reasons it takes that long for Samsung to fix our issues.

IMHO PDA and PHONE roms can be the same for all countries. Only CSC has to be different. I would love to hear your take on this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tanis64:
I see no need in maintenance Beta or Release Candidates, as long there is no update via Kies, there is no new Firmware official released by Samsung. These Versions are send from Samsung to Service Points for testing issues. They are leaked and spreaded over the Net. With all the forums Samsung has an huge amount on Betatesters for free. I like that cause this is a much more effcient way than have it tested in the Quality Department only.

The unroot works if u put the bloatware that u removed back on, or if u never remove it in the first place. I rooted the hard way and used the 1 click to unroot. Im ready for the 2.2 to come as well.

[Droid X General] wad3g:
I've removed nearly everything under "OK to remove/delete/rename" with no problems.

I'm not sure if a factory reset will bring everything back or not, but I saw a .zip floating around of all those system files. If you need any of those files I could try and find it for you.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
Thanks wad3g, that's really helpful.
[Droid X General] mrZoSo:
Seen quite a few people run in to bootloops messing with the framework and as of right now to fix it, is to run the 604 update.zip. But those who removed the bloatware ran in to problems as the update wouldn't run because it didn't see certain apps. And no, a hard reset doesn't bring them back.

So I'm assuming this will probably be the same case for the 2.2 update, guess we'll find out soon enough.
[Vibrant General] sandstones:
I'm new to the android, mostly I like it, but there is one thing that is driving me nuts. I don't know if I'm missing something or stupid or what.

There are a number of times I have gotten to my list of contacts - i.e. from Google Maps defining a location to navigate to, or creating a shortcut to a contact- that I get presented with a list of all my contacts (1500+) and no apparent way to search the list.

If I press the search button it brings up the contact search, but then I seem to have lost the app that wanted the contact. Is there a way to do a search on the contacts and then have it get entered into the original app? I also tried google gesture search, which was great, but I can't figure out how to do anything with the contact other than call them.

I'm beginning to think I am dense or something, please help.
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
if i understand correctly, i think you want to navigate to a specific contact's address from google maps?

if so, all you need to do is, while in google maps, in the destination field just type the contacts name. and if you have their address saved in your contacts it should just pop up with their address.
[Vibrant General] sandstones:
For maps tha'ts great, I must remember not to rush things at traffic lights.:)

However, the thing I am still having trouble with is creating direct dial shortcuts. I go to create the shortcut, and get a long list of contacts and A-Z on the right. I can pick a letter, but there are still hundreds of phone numbers to go through. There is no search box available at that point - I tried pushing the search button and it searches the contact list, but then all I can do is call the contact, not create a shortcut. I tried BetterCut and it doesn't have the A-Z selector.

Am i missing something here too?
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
This is the problem of not having a physical keyboard. And not having gestures in all lists. What you are doing is exactly what I want to do many times and there is unfortunately no way around it except scrolling up and down a list. Very annoying idiom started by the iPhone and unfortunately copied by Android. There is simply no way to filter lists unless every list is accompanied by a filter text field.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] ekoandrew:
Here is the Guide in Sticky

How to replace Windows Mobile with Android (Guide) by Dukenukemx

scroll down to Installing Applications Onto SD Card using Ext2

This should help. The guide help me greatly, very easy to follow.

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
Its not tricky, I mean even I can do it, come on :)

I did edit a wiki page on this, but appears to be down, so here goes, from memory.

Backup any data first, just in case, not taking any responsibility for loss of data.

Firstly ensure your SD card if formatting correctly (FAT32), use on Gparted (linux live CD) to do this, (for me, I created two ext 2 partitions as well as I thought this would work best, works for me).

You then need the HaRET application to allow you to run Android. Google "haret.exe"

Extract the files this should create the right directory.

You then need to choose a build, this is personal choice, but I'll post the one I am testing right now. milanche's CyanogenMod 6 Kaiser

Put the installandroid.tar into the folder you created above.

Move to your SD card.

Find and run HeRET.

When screen shows text, tap and hold the center of the screen until you get a menu.

Choose install (ensure the options are set to SD).

Select Install

Once done, select Quit.

This then installs Android and can take a while, just leave it to get on with it.

You should then been booted into Android.

I might have forgotten something, as I am doing this from memory, but it should be fresh since I installed this last night.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Looks good to me, nice guide, don't think you missed anything :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] leona:
Thatnk you Zenity, but I know I couldn't have done this without your help in the begining when I first tried it. I know how it can seem all a bit over whelming.

I know a lot of people say 'search for it' but I did that just to see what I would find, and to be honest, I didn't get anything but that was of any use, so I can sympathis the search doesn't always get you the right results.

I could not remember the direcotry names when I wrote that at work and had to do it in a hurry as the entire office can see my magnified screen :) so it was a quick brain dump, not as nice as I would have liked to have written it given the time (which I did on the wiki but its down).

Anyway Keeps it fresh in my mind too.

I can only do this when I'm given the right files, I got confused myself when people started talking about different zImages. I tend to go for the builds where everything is bundled into one packing, as some can seem fragmented, ie Fresh Foryo, I don't doubt that it may be a good rom, but its deleivery is complicated (for me :) ).

Wish I had more time an experience to make my own build, I have done a bit of linix hacking in my time with shell scripts (getting wifi cardds working ona laptop etc), Its all interesting stuff.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] a.s.j:
If you'd have problems with using Gparted Live CD like me... just because it does not mount SD card in adapter... here is what I did to partition the SDHC 4GB card...

I booted with HARET but did not select to install.. it gracefully fails to terminal ;)

command: su

command: fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0

deleted all current patrition (d)

created new partitions (n) whith calculated size (8192 for 256MB)

changed type of the first and biggest patririon to FAT32 (t => c)

written all the changes to the partition table (w)

Than you should take out the card before rebooting and format FAT32 partition in win to upload all te android boot files, rebot the phone and follow with instalation...

But I must say, now I am using Scooters Cyanogen in NAND and it it far far easier ;)

Sounds like you are not holding the centre Dpad button (or pressing the centre of the screen) while haret is loading, yes this can be Hit and Miss it winds me up no end.

If you have access to a Linux machine (or boot a Live CD), as well as being useful for SD partitioning it also maybe used to try out Atools (you'll need to install python and python-tk (via the package manager)) as this will get you the right Kernels, images and configure your default.txt file for you, though I haven't managed to get the build script bit working yet, but that is down to my lack of understanding the instructions :)

Well folks,:o

Good morning everyone, I have a serious problem ... lol.

I have tried all (I said all) roms from this site amazing and wonderful. I love the design manilla 2d and hate the titanium.

My problem is: I do not think a WM6.5 ROM with manila 2d to not get warning "low memory" on my htc touch elf. I already tried installing the Manila 2d on a clean ROM with wm 6.1 htc touch, but it was good.

Another problem I have: I want to qualqur cost the digital clock that comes in manila, it is very beautiful ... the problem is that whenever I finish any connection, or some program and put on the screen at home, the hours go back one hour behind by about 2 seconds and return to normal again. That's a bummer, I tried in HKLM to change the delay time, but only solved the delay when the phone is in sleep mode and switches to normal mode.

Please, if someone can help me, I need a rom with manilla already installed, but it uses little memory in order to install a ROM 6.5 with manila already included.

Thank you in advance.

Vincent.
