[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
theoretically, sure that'd be great. In the many years that i've seen camera flashes on phones, *very* few have done it correctly, and they all used xenon (not LED) flash, and they all came from one manufacturer: SonyEricsson.

While a good flash would be a nice addition, that's about it to me. Most photos that i've seen taken with camera flashes still suck pretty bad. Either underexposed landscape shots, or way overexposed and blown out "portraits".
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I am very pleased with nighttime mode. I haven't had a camera flash on a phone in a long time and I don't miss it at all. Nighttime mode works perfectly well for my needs
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
Of course you guys have noticed the little box that appears over the display when the camera is active ?

Drag that little box over the darkest area in the display and it will re-sync to the light level in that area of the image.

Yea I know....it's kinda hard to 'splain, Lucy.

Inverse wise, in high light conditions you can drag the box to the lightest area for best result.

No need to engage night mode unless really really needed.
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
Well...last night tried taking a picture of a few of my old friends sitting around a campfire with night mode on and focusing on the darkest region and it came out amazing. I could see their feet! I'm considering getting a cheap little led flashlight keychain for situations like that. Because God forbid samsung include such an expensive, high end component in such a low end device. Who needs a flash when you can just push the already cramped camera sensor to well beyond its intended limits and post-process the crap out of everything! The graininess helps give all your photos that cool "authentic" look. Kind of like those ruined, torn jeans teenagers these days seem to love, the camera just makes your low-light memories and images seem that much cooler. In fact, it should be listed as a feature of the phone. Sarcastic rant over.

Perhaps but even a crappy led flash helps act as a fill light in indoor shots. And anyone who knows even a bit about cameras usually knows when and how to use a flash. So most people don't. Also, while xenon flash is impressive, I've also seen some great single and dual led flashes on phones. Case in point; evo, hd2, nexus one, htc desire, droid x, droid incredible, droid, almost every higher end nokia, and etc. While I'm probably going to stick with this device for awhile, believe you me when I say the moment tmobile gets a comparable or better phone with a camera flash, buh bye vibrant. So probably by Q1 or Q2 of next year since project emerald is looking to be little more than a nexus one with a keyboard. Other rant over.
[S740, S743 General] quistman:
Does anybody know how to disable the press and hold function of the Rose? When it is in my pocket it turns off the phone (not the power) even with the keylock on.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacksome:
I managed to screw up the Contacts.app binary on my DDJG4 build. Don't have a backup too. Can someone upload it for me please?.. Thank you very much.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
ok so i did the one click root method tonight... so after i flashed clockwork and downloaded the cyanogen mod rc1 it told me to do a back up and reboot phone.. it rebooted and it goes into the boot animation screen.. it does the regular X color of the nexus then turns to the blue x .. after a few blue x's it stops then acts like it resets and goes back to the regular color, then back to the blue one..

it repeats itself over and over again.. been doin it for quite some time now.. like over three hours.. i pulled the battery and tried again, same thing..

im really really concerned about my phone now..

is there anything i can do??

please help me.. thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
did you do the backup? Did you wipe prior to install? Did you use Rom Manager by any chance?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
yes i did a back up.. and yes i used ROM manager... BUT i just now found out where the back up was.. i got thru! im going to try another recovery image and a diff rom..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
ok, Amon_Ra is the one I prefer, I used it to flash CM6 RC2 only 4 hours ago.

-Cheers, good luck
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
ok thank you very much! is that image in rom manager?

can you also tell me what you did please... step by step..? i never done this b4 lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
sure, its very fresh (im probably only 24 hours ahead of you since my first root)

This

should

work, If anyone would like to double check this please feel free, I would hate to give someone bad info to go on.

so after clockwork gave me some issue to say the least i decided to go with Amon_Ra.

1)Shutdown

2)press power button and trackball at the same time

3)use vol-up and vol-down select "bootloader" using power button to select

4)then select "Recovery"

5)should now say clockwork on the bottom(trackball for movement and select in this menu) If it does not say clockwork or you see a exclamation mark in a triangle, you gave bigger problems then i can help you with

6)select wipe

7)select data, cache, and dalvik-cache to wipe So long as you only select those three options your sd card will remain ok and untouched

8)once done go back to main clockwork menu

9)select backup/resotore (or something similar) and hit restore nandroid(or similar)

10) if it asks you to pick which backup select the right one (you should only have one)

11)once done (and you get no errors) go back to clockwork menu and hit reboot, it should boot into your previous rom before you tried CM.

While here back in the working rom, make sure the end of your baseband version ends with "4.06.00.12_7" (menu > settings >about phone)

First go to the bottom of rom manager and hit "Flash Alernate Recovery" It should say RA Recovery

Once its done hit it again just to make sure it flashed (it should immediatly give you a comfirmation)

Then download CM6 RC2 (rom manager wont let you since it doesnt have clockwork anymore) go here and download the latest verions of CM and the google addon. Just download them to the sdcard.

Then reboot the phone in recovery:

1)Shutdown

2)press power button and trackball at the same time

3)use vol-up and vol-down select "bootloader" using power button to select

4)then select "Recovery"

5)should then say Amon_Ra on the bottom (if it does not or instead goes to exclimation triangle,boot back into regular and try flashing Amon_Ra again) (within this menu the trackball is now used to select and move through the menu)

6)since your current version is not working we wont backup, but normally you will select backup and do a nandroid backup

7) Instead of backing up go to wipe

8) wipe the data,cache, and dalvik cache. So long as you only select those three options your sd card will remain ok and untouched

9)go back (should be vol-down, should say at the top)

10) go to flash from sdcard

11)select the CM6 zip first (should ask for confirmation)

12)once done and no errors flash the google apps zip (also ask for confirmation)

13)once done go back to Amon_Ra main menu, and click reboot now

14)Enjoy CM
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
omg thanks!... question, do i download the radio as well?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
That's why you need to see if your baseband number ended with "4.06.00.12_7" , if your baseband does not end with that number, then you will have to update your radio, something i have not done yet, and because of this I ask that if your baseband does not end with that number that you

do not

follow the rest of the steps. The steps leading up to you checking the baseband will reflash you back to how you were before trying to flash CM so you will have a working phone. However if your baseband is that number, ("4.06.00.12_7" ) then you will not have to do anything to the radio and you can continue the steps ignoring the radio altogether.

Also would any person more knowledgeable then I like to check my previous post to make sure it looks ok before this person does anything?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
lol i did it, dont worry... it worked thanks man
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
cool man, good luck
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
i have ONE MORE question then ill be set lol.... :sorry:

--1. if an update comes to my rom, how will it be shown that it came out? how do i update it?.. yes i have rom manager.. will it be like a app update (in a way)? i wont lose anything right?

2. if i morph some "goodies" to my rom right now, and when an update comes, will i lose all the goodies i morphed??

thanks for ur help!

*well maybe it was 2 questions haha =/
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueman101:
sorry, i have no idea to either of those questions. Im new to rooting and custom roms so i havent messed with updating yet.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Seattleite:
I have used the search ahead of time, and was unable to find anything that explained what I was looking for, beyond a redirection, which I was unable to follow, so I did my best.

I am familiar with flashing, since I started with my Kaiser a few years ago, so I'm not null, but I do like to have a reliable bit of help to make sure I get it right the first time.

Now for my question. I really enjoy Senseui, and would love to have it on my MyTouch 3G 1.2 which is rooted, currently running the stock Fender ROM, and pretty much the same as the day I bought it. I've noticed there are a few ROMs in the Sapphire section that have sense, but require the 1.76 SPL and the 6.35.x.x radio.

When I look into flashing those, I continually find that my phone (MT3G 1.2) either can't or won't accept these requirements. The closest to a solution I've been able to track down mentions using a Hero recovery. I've exhausted myself trying to figure this out, I constantly search for updated ROMs, and any possible updates that would make my day, but I'm not seeing it happening, so I'm coming to you all for some help.

If you know how to get a Senseui ROM on to a MT3G 1.2, and can explain it, redirect me to a thread I couldn't find, or some other form of helping me out, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Again, my apologies if this is an unnecessary post, but I have used the search button, several times.

Here's my phone info, as it stands now...

Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON G

Hboot-1.33.0013 (Sapp31000)

CPLD-13

Radio-2.22.23.02
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] C0dy:
I personally don't think flashing a new Radio or Recovery if you don't know if it works isn't worth the risk. However, there are two Sense UI ROMs compatible with the Mytouch 1.2 located here and here. It's disappointment that there are only 2 Sense UI ROMS, I wish there were more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Vonrottes:
Yeah that..

Not quite Sense UI

But Try CM6R2 with the Vatsense theme+Fancy Widget or if you want weather animation Beautiful widget+beautiful live.. He has the stuff to make Launcher pro look like Rosie, but ADW now has a Rosie theme in the market(Slide sense)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Someone please explain to me why SenseUI is so special on a device that it is not specifically designed for it? Really. You won't have bluetooth and in some cases, camcorder, wifi, gps, etc. If you want a stable device use a rom without SenseUI.

But if you insist just use one for the G1.

I haven't even bothered to port anymore over because I got so tired of the private messages asking me how to get bluetooth working, how to make it faster and how to install it. I'm not going to lie... I enjoyed getting $25 in donations but it just wasn't worth it so I gave it up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Vonrottes:
the only thing i like about Sense is the flipclock+fullscreen weather animations(i used CR_slide for a day and never got around to trying your port between superD and CM5)

If I understood Java and all the Android programing i would start porting roms over to the MT3G 1.2 but i seriously cant even successfully make a ADW theme in Eclipse:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
And you realize that there are apps that do that instead of having to have the full rom installed, right? ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Seattleite:
Okay, thank you all very much for the quick and thorough answers. I guess the reason I like the interface so much is because a lot of my friends have EVO's now, so I kinda grew used to seeing that, and I like how simple/clean it all is, and I was hopeful it would translate to being equally nice and useful on my little screen. Sigh, guess I'll just wait till T-MO gets some better phones, and hopefully that's only as far away as September, but I'm not holding my breath.

On a side note, I think that's my biggest upset with T-MO too, their Android support is quite lame. All the other carriers are rushing to get froyo to their users devices, and all we get is 'soon' over, and over, and over...

Anyhow, thanks again guys!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Vonrottes:
Yeah i listed the app i know of that does the animations *beautiful live*

As for sense ui on your 1.2 dude just wait the mytouch is upposed to get official froyo and possibly their version of sense *slide rom*

It might be worth the wait if you want

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] beatle7777777:
I really hope that we get a mytouch slide/ sence ui update but I honestly doubt that they would even bother with going through all the work to debug it for our phones.

So I know that this is completely off topic but is there any way that we could do this to our 32a 1.2s? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=580486

I know the answer probablly is no because someone besides me would of figured out if it worked by now but I guess it never hurts to ask.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nivarp:
Firstly apologies for asking such a basic question. I read through a lot of threads after searching in quest of figuring out a simple-yet-clear step-by-step guide but most of the times got confused, being rookie did not help.

I am a newbie trying my hand on android development. I have Android Developer phone (ADP2/HTC Magic) with the built in 1.6 sapphire installed on it.

The board is

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B DEV S-ON G

other info:

HBOOT-1. 33. 3007 (SAPP30000 )

CPLD-10

RADIO-2. 22. 19. 26I

I want to upgrade my device to 2.0 as google does not seem to provide an official update for ADP2 for its newer versions.

Any help would be appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
First of all unless you are DEVELOPING something other than your own device this is for DEVELOPMENT. That is why it's in the Android Development forum.

Second of all:

You said that you already searched but you seemed to somehow miss the 1-click root technique, goldcard technique, etc. How could that happen? :rolleyes:

I'm moving this to Q&A (which is short for Questions and Answers) where your QUESTION belongs so you can be spoonfed. But just note that you broke the forums first rule already with your first post. Not a good start.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] explainer:
That is a very rude reply. The question is basic, but without an answer for it, the questioner is completely stymied. If you had put as much time into answering the question as you did to scold, it would have been better.

To be honest the thing that lets my Galaxy S down is this awful Kies software...

is terribly hit and miss, 99% cant connect with my 64Bit windows 7 machine, luckily I have a 32 bit desktop and it seems better at connecting with this, but it crashes out, is clunky and slow....please tell me there is an alternative.

I thought I hated Itunes, but this it terrible:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] brusilva:
itunes is not that bad as you get used to it...

but KIES? well... KIES is just.. stupid.. I don't even install it, just the drivers.

How else can you sync with your outlook then ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] The.Opethian:
You can't really compare Kies with iTunes. I dislike iTunes, but applaud Apple in creating a program that just holds everything together. So much that none of their devices will work without connecting to it (imagine if Kies worked like that? The horror!).

Kies on the other hand is an annoying program. I actually liked it, well designed, it's got those nifty widgets, BUT it does not work most of the time. :(

I'm on Win7 64bit as well and it is so annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Roy Ngan:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
but the great thing is you don't need Kies,

you can easily drag and drop music/video files to your phone

and your email/contacts/calendar syncs wirelessly to & from Gmail

and if you need to flash the phone, there is always Odin and Heimdall
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TMReuffurth:
I don´t understand what the guys from Samsung where thinking about the development of Kies. For me it is completely useless. To sync my contacts and calender i have Gmail and never had any problem with it.

But with Kies... i have it installed on Windows 7 64Bit and to get it connected i have to restart the phone or the computer, otherwise it won´t do anything.

So yesterday i tried to set it up in Vista 32Bit and there it even wasn´t possible to install. No error or something showed up. Just hanged when it copied the files... Don´t remember any Setup that hanged on my computer. But well, i just don´t use it. Mass storage is all i need.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ShezUK:
I don't think I've used Kies for anything so far, can't stand the thing. It used to start up whenever I plugged my phone in even when I told it not to, got it sorted eventually though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] windy31:
Second this

and also agree with the topic.

Kies is really worse than Itune. luckily we have a very good solution "just don't use it :D"

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] samoelito:
i use iTuneMyWalkman with iTunes. It automatically syncs the playlist you want or all the library with your phone when its connected, its free and works perfectly.. just in case, i use a macbook ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] johcos:
I believe all original syncing software from all brands is crap.

The basic difference here with itunes (in my opinion) is that without itunes you can do nothing to iphone.

for kies on the other hand I cannot find any other use than updating your phone's firmware. (If you want to update to the original firmware.)

Syncing can be done with gmail from within the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hol17:
I don't seem to have a problem with it. It connects to my phone just fine (Windows 7 64b) and it has some nice little features.

Just make sure that you delete all USB drivers and phone drivers on your computer and once you do that, reinstall all drivers by connecting your phone while it's booting, starting up, and while fully on. Once all those are ok, download some Samsung Galaxy S drivers online.

Works flawlessly for me.

if it's just the music and media management you're rambling about, forget KIES.

WMP12 works wonders with music sync. I've set it to sync my playlists automatically when I connect my Galaxy. The best part? Playlists are copied over to the phone as well. You can use WMP12 to manage photos and videos to, but I really only use it for music.

Videos? Simple - drag and drop.

Contacts and calendar? Set it it to sync automatically to you Gmail account.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bec07:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dagrim1:
Kies is crap... Then again, all of the 'official' phone software I've seen is crap (sony ericsson, nokia). Most of it is bloated, slow and just not worth it. iTunes is crap as well, always hated it and prolly always will.

yes the apps that come with the device are stored on the system partition, as an out of the box desire dosent have r/w access to /system/, this portion is not a useable memory, only apps stored on the data partition with affect your device space, you can also see how much space has been free'd in \system\ by using quick system info from the market :)

I am new to the Desire bandwagon and seemingly have a lot of catching up to do.

And yes I did search but could not find any clear answers. :)

What is the over-clocking position of the desire?

I am not looking to overclock really, just underclock to save battery.

What kernels/ roms can be underclocked/overclocked? I am currently using Modaco R5 (just as the first thing I flashed straight away).

Not sure if "overclocking" is a feature devs would list on the desire, it always was with the hero.

Thanks
