[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ancient_One:
I know I take a risk but I will live with it.

I never use a screen protector or a case and I have never damaged a single device I have had.

The phone lives in my pocket with nothing else just my flesh on one side and material on the other. You can't get safer then that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Qazz~:
Super Amoled is different from other screens so far. In Super Amoled, the touch sensor is integrated into the Amoled screen this means that the touch sensor is just 0.01mm thin and the glass panel on top of the Sgs is just to protect the Super Amoled underneath.

If you look closely, you can see that there is almost no gap at all between the Super Amoled and the glass panel, unlike on the motorola milestone, there was a huge air gap between the two.

*TSP stands for touch sensor panel

same here, screen died of htc HD2 before i had any scratch or something, Galaxy S for one week and a screen long scratch.... bump
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] JaeCee:
You could have any X device for Y days/months/years and that doesn't make the Galaxy any more or less scratch resistant. If it's scratched already, then usually it's the user's fault. They don't exactly scratch themselves.

I remember reapplying a new screen protector on my ipod once because of a few niggling air bubbles. The old one hadn't had any scratches after over a year's use. So I put the new one perfectly, and within the same day, I managed to somehow get a mad scratch on the new protector. It happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cypis:
I have my Magic about 3 months. I don't use protector. I don't have any single mini scratch. Legend and hd2 have real glass on screen. You can find scratch test on youtube.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mickeko:
Please quote source for this info. I can't find a single reliable source saying the SGS has Gorilla glass.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vijay08:
Thanks Guys for the update....
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] EarlZ:
The SGS does not use gorilla glass, its just plain glass that can be easily scratched, for those not using any screen protectors try to use a bright light source like an LED flashlight and point it to your screen, you'ed be surprised at the amount of scratches it has.. the test vid above is unable to show it cause of the weak light source they used.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mitty1990:
Ive had mine quite a while and im not really one for looking after phones and i havent got a mark on it yet :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] android53:
My phone is still unscratched too.

don't samsung own a large part of the company that makes gorilla glass? Or they are one of their clients
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] irenic:
with lots of android phone in the market nowadays that i've used, i can safely say this SGS is the easiest to get scratch, screen and other parts (vs nexus one, desire, milestone, x10, wildfire, and err iphone 4 :p )

but still, not everything is perfect and i like SGS the most compared to other android phones. so i have no choice but to use some silly looking silicon case to protect the back cover and the front plastic chrome border.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] aditya_t90:
What type of pants do you have?

Flesh on one side and cloth on the other side.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] darkfire_bg:
Are you sure about this? Because i watched many videos on youtube, which shows its scratch ressistant! Also i have mine for 11 days now and not a single scratch on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hanhav:
Just use bright led light too see the scratches.

My screen was also scratch-free until I used led light too see them :(

But I dont think they´ll show in any normal condititions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Intratech:
I just used a bright light and mine is scratch free. At first I thought it was scratched but after using a soft cloth and some glass cleaner to clean the screen it was just lines in the grease film that builds up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fade777:
Well said my friend

Im the same havong a case and a screen protector just takes away to much from the phone.
[Desire General] bryant_16:
Hey guys,

I'm using desire with os 2.1 and know that 2.2 is releases in europe already. How do I flash to the official 2.2 rom? I do not want to try other cooked roms.

Thanks!
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
I just did this

[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
I got my 2.2 update file here http://hotfile.com/dl/58947725/9565...8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip.html
[Desire General] boomam:
Is there not an official RUU for 2.2 yet?
[Desire General] sbdags:
Personally I'd think very carefully before flashing the official rom. Prepare yourself for things not working as well as 2.1.

Rumour has it that HTC is already preparing a patch. IMO I wouldn't do it as there is no going back. Much better rooting and flashing the official OTA rooted version so you can have a play. If you take a nandroid backup before you flash you can then very easily restore the 2.1 rom after you are disgusted with all the broken stuff :)

Equally flash a custom rom that applies fixes to the broken bits and be happy :)
[Desire General] boomam:
I hope the rumors true.

Thats the only reason im looking at a 2.2 RUU.

My 2.1 unbranded OTA'd to 2.2, and handfree over BT is broke, HTC Music app crashes when the Navigation app speaks, and a few other minor bugs here and there...was hoping that a 2.2 RUU would fix all that, that it was a broken install....?
[Desire General] bryant_16:
I see. So in that case, a cooked rom of 2.2 will work better in that sense?
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
my 2.2 works perfect but i dont use Bluetooth as I prefer points than to wear one of the gay little headsets lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
I'm looking to delete some of my old nandroid backups that I won't use, however I can't seem to locate them on my SD card, anyone know where I can find these backups at for purging? Thanks!

Edit: clockwork puts backups in /sdcard/clockwork/backup/<date> other recovery imgs put it in the nandroid folder on sdcard root.

Should have searched first. However I do have a follow up question,

what does the last set of numbers after the date mean,

2010-08-05.

01.42.54

01.42.54? I'm not following the reasoning, thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Yup. Here's my question. How do you APPLY one of your nand backups, since it's not a zip file that recovery will find. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeren:
Instead of installing from zip card, go into nandroid>restore and that should give you the choce of backups to restore to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hairongreenfire:
Eeeeek, those numbers represent the time that you made the backup.

Scott, in Rom Manager you can choose restore and find the folder you want to revert to
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Hairongreenfire, thanks. I'm guessing the same is possible thru amonRA recovery? (I trust that recovery more than clockwork)

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4WildJokers:
Rename?

If the backup files are renamed can this cause any problems with the restore process?

I use AmonRA Recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you rename them don't add spaces: so mikg-311-03-29-12 is OK but mik g 3.11 03-29-12 will result in md5 sum mismatch
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtish:
Why is Froyo supposed to only use radio 32.43.00.32U 5.09.00.20 because the radio is rubbish..... I know its not supposed to be the best radio for a previously branded and locked Orange desire,but why would Froyo need a particular radio,isn't the radio just for signal purposes?

So far the only thing that has impressed me with Froyo is the flashlight and the 720 recording (although it isn't anything special).

The screen is less sensitive.

The camera sometimes has green or blue tints.

Web browsing is always lagging

There's not a lot going for it really is there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Agreed. Froyo official update is rubbish.

To fix lagging turn on on demand in browser plugin options.

Best option is to root and install a custom rom that fixes the Froyo short comings.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtish:
Thanks for the reply,the setting in my browser has always been enabled so not sure why the browser is rubbish.....even now trying to zoom in on my desire to read this,I'm unable to drag the screen about to read it.....which custom roms the best one without any bugs?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Is it 'enabled' or 'on demand' ?? You need 'on demand'

The best Rom by far for a great Froyo experience is the Neophyte 1.6 Rom. It's the only one I have found that everything works on and it's quick and stable too. :)
[Captivate General] ru_ready:
The HTC HD2 has a quiet ring on pickup feature. Is there anyway to do this with the captivate? Or can any android based phone do this?

Thanks!
[Captivate General] irus:
I would love this feature also
[Captivate General] coretech:
I think Tasker might be able to do this.
[Captivate General] saint168:
HTC Aria has this feature too. When you move the phone, the ringer volume is lowered and if you flip the phone over, the ringer stopped. Not a must have feature but it's a nice to have.
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
Yes. It's part of the Sense UI feature. I honestly believe HTC has made Android much much better. Motorola did pretty much nothing to Android. And Samsung made Android worse.
[Captivate General] Cobra302:
i dont think its worse, its just different from htc which has a pretty good stronghold on what we think android should be. ;)
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
That's true. Before I got my first Android phone, I though the big flip clock weather widget was Android thing.
[Captivate General] ru_ready:
Well I got tasker. I cant figure out how I would set it up to do this. Anyone have any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorgenask:
Hi folks ! i have a rooted desire with a stock 2.2 ROM.

I rooted it with unrevoked.

so to the question. can i do the revoked thing again to flash another recovery image other then the clockworkmod one ?

thanks :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
In the HTC camcorder even you choose the encoding method as MPEG it would save the file as 3gp, but with this it will save the file as mp4. I had to modify a few smali files to get it working.

This is only changing the extension. The videos are already being recorded in an mpeg-4 stream, they are just being created with a .3gp extension. This is really only for people who need the extension to be mp4 for some specific reason.

I have tested this a bit so be sure to back up your original HTCCamera.apk just in case.

Download it here.

As you can see below, nothing with the encoding has changed.

In recovery:

mount system

adb shell

mv /system/app/HTCCamera.apk /system/app/HTCCamera.apk_

exit

adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app/

adb shell

chmod 0644 /system/app/HTCCamera.apk

exit

adb reboot
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Does this also change the audio codec to something useable like AAC? Love your roms, use them and enjoy them heavily, mp4 usable on the ps3 would be amazing!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
No, I can't change how its encoded. This is only changing the extension. The videos are already being recorded in an mpeg-4 stream, they are just being created with a .3gp extension.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] shoman24v:
Can you make 720p or any other recording resolution do > 30fps. The framerate on 720p is garbage.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
Nope, I have no idea how to do that... This wasn't very difficult, it just took some digging.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
720p at 30 fps is fine. The problem is that we aren't hitting that fps.

Can't squeeze blood from a turnip, and you cannot make hardware do something its unable to with the current OS.

As for aac audio streams, I doubt this phone supports it. I know where to change it, but so do a lot of people, esp. on the N1 forums. I've not heard of a successful case yet. Not even CM6 does it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Before i flashed to your newest rom, i decided to try this on the existing rom.. Took footage of my room and what do you know, streams to the ps3 just fine.. But i pressed select and the Audio had dolby digital in it, meaning sound worked.. I took another video but this time played a song. Tried it and it worked!!!

This is AMAZING news! Before i had to sit there and convert the videos and they usually ended up not even working, now using PS3 Media Server, they work no problem. Thanks so much, you should take a look for the Evo guys and get it fixed for them as well if you can, i have a feeling all my evo owning family members are going to want in!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
If you folks want to see if the aac audio codec will work, you can try this. Install it via clockwork, but make a nandroid.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rspong:
Well, i look forward to this .MP4 mod cooked into your next Rom, also, the recent WIFItether AP mode. Which by the way works great on your #2 Rom. Great Work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Im just about to re-flash/wipe the whole phone, would i need a nandroid for any reason?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wikywwj:
Is it possible to record videos that use H.264 when res set to 720p?it should improve its 720p quality.it can only set to WVGA when it uses H.264.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Used the AAC Flash zip. Tried another video, using PS3 media server, it played fine with audio. Decided to plug the phone strait to the PS3 and try it there, Unsupported data on all 3 mp4 files. So no dice on native, but works streamed which is what i wanted in the first place.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tdiman:
I was digging through some files on the stock froyo kernel last week and it seems that they may have added mp4 as a container option, although I haven't loaded up the .zip to check.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
Are you using Twonky server to connect to ps3 as a media server... or you got something better?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Use PMS (PS3 Media Server). Everything else is a joke.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
quepaso- PMS is for windows/mac/linux correct? so your saving newly encoded media files to a computer then accessing via the ps3 not connecting android to connect to ps3 directly via a media server. correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] quepaso:
Yes, i just copy the mp4 file to my media server pc (it houses all my music, pictures and blu-ray movies that get streamed to the ps3s in the house), and the ps3 plays them back fine.

I am not streaming directly from the phone because that would be insanely slow. My entire house is wired with ethernet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
hmm... im getting unsupported data error from ps3.

vid records just fine and is stored as mp4 with the acc zip installed... i then i moved video from android to desktop.

When i access the file from ps3 via PMS i can see the file (even with the thumbnail preview)but clicking it causes it to go "unsupported"

any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Alpha Maven:
Try mediainfo to see what the contents of the container are

mediainfo.sourceforge.net
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
Will all do respect Quepaso implied that the mp4 extension was already supported by the ps3. If I have to convert from .mp4 to another supported output what's the point in having the vids save as mp4 in the first place?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
Just to clarify again...

This does not change how its being encoded. It was already using MPEG-4 encoding by 3GPP. Here is a screenshot of MediaInfo.

This is really only for those that need the extension to be .mp4 for some specific reason. Someone asked me to see if I could do it and it turns out it wasn't very difficult.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rspong:
Does this allow others to veiw the video in Windows Media player native codecs? Relatives who have no clue how to download and install quicktime or Media player codecs.

For emailing videos on the fly to mom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
...

Thats a good question.

I second it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
Not sure, test it out. Like I've said, all this does is change the default extension to mp4 rather than 3gp.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] buya97:
to run this apk, do i have to uninstall the original camera and then install the new one? or flash this in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DeeBG:
Have her download VLC. All codecs self-contained and it supports just about all of them.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hatman41:
What happened to the install instructions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] soraxd:
amazing creation, i so wish we had this on other phones.. namely the Galaxy S
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Will not install.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
That's because this is a system app. Overwrite HTCCamera.apk in /system/app to install.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Epicardium:
Good digging Scuccia! If I understand correctly, the same result can be achieved if I simply rename my files 'filename.mp4' rather than 'filename.3gp', right? For those clamoring to have this on other phones, why don't you just rename your files with the mp4 extension?? Sounds like that's all this thing does. Still, good work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
Works great. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spjoneser:
yep works here too:) thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] joehero:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
That's what I've been trying to say. Its not as big as some are making it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] firesq38:
Same Error

I am also getting the parse error. What are we missing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wwjdd44:
For some reason, the original instructions are gone from the OP. It is not meant to be installed as an apk, but needs to be pushed to system/app as a replacement for the current camera apk.....and needs to be renamed accordingly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] papajay224:
I'm getting that hang of rooting and starting to grasp all this stuff but do you have this "hack for dummy's" version, I don't get that string you have listed I dl'd your file but I'm not sure how to make it work. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
Installed just fine, now that I have s-off...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jaredkent:
I'm with you.

I see the list of commands you have on the original post, in recovery I got as far as mount system...

am I supposed to plug in the rest while in recovery, or should I reboot after mounting and plug the rest of the commands in in terminal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Does anyone have this working on the official 2.2 release with 720p recording?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
VLC suck, all pixel when drag the window bigger. MPC better.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bln001:
Nice work! Could you tell me how you changed the default extension? I want to try the same for Samsung Galaxy S, as I can plug the phone in to my TV using USB Mass Storage, but the TV will not recognize the vids with 3gp extension, only with mp4.

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wwjdd44:
can this be done for the camera used in the CM Nightly builds?? I tried changing the file extension to .mp4, but it did not work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
anyone got this working on 2.2 ???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbeitel:
I did all the instructions, pushed it, chmodeded it, danced with it, played limbo with it. But when i pull the files off my phone they are still 3gp. Any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jbeitel:
maybe this was made for anon odexed rom or whatever you call it, i deleted the HTCCamera.odex also and put the file in again and it was fine. Solved it myself. hooray!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Anyone have a 2.2 version of this? Or at least detailed instructions on how to modify it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
I just used this with 2.2, 720 works and everything. It did replace my Evo camera app, but I'd rather have the .MP4 extension. If they could be combined that'd be great :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Using the link in the original post?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
Yes sir, following the ADB instructions. It replaces HTCCamera.apk with HTCCamera_mp4.apk, and best I can tell everything works. I'm still new to ADB so it was trial and error for me, when pushing it I used the name HTCCamera_mp4.apk rather than how he has it in the instructions. Maybe I was supposed to rename it? I don't know, but it's done and it works :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] setexascustoms:
Glad to be of service.:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WhammyDroid:
For anyone who cares, overwriting the file via Root Explorer (and changing the permissions to match the original file) works perfectly. Make sure you reboot at the end.

:D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pi_mento:
Hi All,

I'm not sure if this problem is in every build but i found it in the FroyoStone Series [Build 07.08.2010].

Problem:

Android can't see some WIFI networks.

Solution:

Android seems only to detect wireless networks that are configured between "Wireless Channels" 1 to 11. WIFI networks configured above channel 11 won't be detected by Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] criszz:
what about ad-hoc wireless connection ? how could i connect ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ATomCZ:
And this is only HD2 bug or all Android devices?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sushilange:
This issue only occurs on newer builds. My wlan router uses channel 13. I'm able to connect with all old builds from darkstone, etc. But Since mattc 1.4 and FroyoStone I'm not able to connect anymore, because Android is not able to find my network.

By the way: This issue is not solved, because not all of us are able to change the wlan channel of our routers! I'm not sure if this is right, but I read that channel 13 and 14 are not allowed in the USA. Is it possible that our devs used european Androids builds in the previous buidls and now uses an USA Version (new Desire Build)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thihaz:
is it because of mac address?

is it because of mac address? MAc address is different from win mo in Android :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sushilange:
No, as I told, it works fine with all older Android buils. Only with new one (since 1-2 weeks) it is not working anymore.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pi_mento:
true, i had the same problem. Older build seem not to have the problem

Again true, channel 12 to 14 are not used in the US, Europe goes up to 13, 14 is only used in Japan if i remember properly.

So there are 2 options:

Reuse European Desire Builds or Change you wifi channel if you can. A better option would be reusing the European Desire Builds.
