[Android] PMDColeslaw:
Just curious, but does anyone know if there's an android kitchen in the works that will be more like the EvirisVisual Kitchen for WM? I, as well as several others I'm sure, would have a little less of a learning curve if there was an android kitchen that was set up the same way as the WM kitchens. Just a thought... What does everyone else think?
[Android] dsixda:
What is there to learn though? I thought Visual Kitchen involved a learning curve.

The Bepe Platform Rebuilder (which the VK was based off of) was command-line driven and simple.
[Android] PMDColeslaw:
True, but what I liked about the VK was that it ran the command line stuff in the background based on options the user set on the front end UI. It was a big help to those who aren't code/script guru's by letting us set up our roms in a visual UI.

EDIT:Your Kitchen is pretty user friendly BTW. I just miss the point and click UI and not having to edit so many xml files.
[Android] dsixda:
I'm pretty sure a nice UI-based kitchen can be done in Windows, except the person who does it will soon realize there will be platform incompatibilities over Windows XP/7 and 32-bit and 64-bit.. but those can be fixed easily if they include all possible working binaries for all the platforms.
[Android] fonix232:
Not necessarily. If the UI is coded in a multi-platform language (Qt, C#-Mono, Python, even PHP) then it is possible to port to any platform. Also, if all the command line stuff from the BAT files are placed into the UI too, then only one executable (with the resources of course) and it is done.
[Android] PMDColeslaw:
I would very much like that if someone could do it. I know a lot of people have Linux running on a virtual machine or whatever but I actually like Windows 7. Maybe its laziness but I'd really like to not have to learn an entirely new OS before I can continue building my own ROMs. Again just my opinion. I noticed Fresh's kitchen appears to have a nice UI but it's still not released and I have no idea if it will be completely Windows ran or not.
[Android] dsixda:
You don't need a virtual machine, just use Cygwin in Windows ;)
[Android] dsixda:
The problem is, there are certain functions that cannot be handled with one language alone. So, we can have a GUI-based application, like one using Tk on top of TCL (just an example!), but we'd still need to run it from Cygwin/Linux etc. so that other commands like perl, sed, od etc. will be able to work. Or maybe there is a better solution that I am not aware of.
[Android] gnarlyc:
How about a Java front-end for the existing Kitchen? The thought has occurred to me, but my focus is already spread amongst several different projects.

Something like this code from jcase(?) might be a good start?

String txt = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtCmd)).getText().toString(); // cmd line

boolean su = ((CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.asRoot)).isChecked(); // run as root

Process p;

try {

if (su) {

p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");

(new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream())).writeBytes(txt + "; exit\n"); // you want the shell to terminate itself so you know the command has finished

} else

p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(txt);

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

return;

}

try {

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream());

int r;

while ((r = isr.read()) > 0)

sb.append((char) r); // you may want to use a buffer

msg = sb.toString();

} catch (IOException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}​
[Android] dsixda:
I haven't done Java development in 10 years :D But I'll definitely put this in my "TO DO" list for future work. Thanks
[Android] gnarlyc:
Dude. I don't know what I was smoking when I posted that. That was code that you would run on an Android phone! Should I edited it out so future generations don't think I'm a total goob?

Anyway, you get the idea. If I can get a few things cleaned up, I'll try to do it myself or get you started or help or at least cheer you on. :)
[Android] DJGonzo:
Are you SERIOUS??? After the Oracle vs. Google incident, you are suggesting we use Java??

I appreciate the help but its way easier coding for 32bit Windows since any 64bit Windows will run 32bit and use .Net for kitchen GUI.

If Linux fan boys want some love, they can use WINE :p

Then again, my coding skills SUCK and I wish someone would create some type of Visual kitchen :D
[Android] gnarlyc:
Most of the apps on your phone are in Java. If something happens and we are unable to use Java anymore, I don't think people will really care about a GUI front-end to an already working and great kitchen. So, yes, I AM SERIOUS!

Creating a GUI front-end instead of a whole new kitchen should be relatively easy in most languages, depending on how fancy you want to get. (A window with buttons that launch scripts, more or less... That's simplifying it somewhat, but you get the idea.)
[Android] secondskin:
I'm probably making myself look like an ass which I am in the sense that I have no coding skills but isn't Fresh's Kitchen a visual kitchen or am I not understanding the concept.

The only reason I'm asking is, even though I have no knowledge of taking something like this on it seems to me that if it's already been done it should be a little easier to figure out.

Again, I might just be an ass and if so I apologize.:o
[Android] fonix232:
Java is still platform independent, but has some really annoying requirements, and would run slow on big files.

.Net: We could use Mono for that. Mono libraries are to included in Windows .Net (or was to be. I heard somewhere that Mono Project will ask Windows to include their libraries too so any .Net app can run on Linux, Windows, and Mac, with the same user experience), and also installing it is easy. Yes, it is harder to develop under Mono, harder than Visual Studio, but still possible.

But .Net has some serious restrictions too. Can not use JAVA apps (only with launching a command line, so no direct inclusion), thus SignAPK is out (until you want to see some ugly black window, or use a backside process). And also it would need a lot of things to do, like update itself frequently, so someone needs to maintain a mod/firmware/rom/app/kernel/recovery server, and so much more.

It is simplyer to make a nice PHP site what does the same, write a UI for it, and upload to the site itself. Thus people can always access the latest stuff, and also, save their work (as a config file) for further modding. Oh and do not forget, the server would produce the file a lot faster than a PC :D
[Android] gnarlyc:
I suggested Java for several reasons:

1) as you say, it's multiplatform - That fits really nicely with the kitchen.

2) The kitchen already uses Java, so the requirements have already been met.

3) I'm not a programmer. I say that, but I've taken three college programming courses now. Two of them were Java. So, I know Java well enough.

4) I was suggesting a front-end GUI to the existing kitchen, not something entirely new.

It basically boils down to whoever gets motivated enough to volunteer their time. If they choose Java, then it's Java. If they choose Motorola 68k assembly, then that's what it is. Who knows, dsixda may make something that ties in with his kitchen, and someone else may make something similar in their language of choice. That would be great. More choices are generally a good thing up to a point.
[Android] DJGonzo:
Android does NOT run Java. It runs Dalvik bytecode.

Whether the language is "very similar" (:p) or not is a different thing.

Google just made made a compiler that can compiler Java code, but its not Java :eek:

LOL Im just teasing.

I DO like the PHP kitchen idea. They do it for the HTC Desire and that would be a great project.
[Android] PMDColeslaw:
No you're right, Fresh's Kitchen is along the lines (visually) of what I am used to coming from WM and the VK. It just doesnt seem to get updated very often so far. If I read correctly it still only works with 1.5 roms which is great... If you like 1.5, which virtually no one does, lol.
[Android] bludragon742:
How an AIR front end combined with a PHP backend?
[Android] dsixda:
The problem I have with an online PHP kitchen is that it goes away from the idea of giving the user full control of their files and helping them learn that way too. In addition it may be inconvenient when you want to move files around.
[Android] fonix232:
Not so much. A web-based kitchen could also have an advanced mode, where the user not just selects the mods with ticking on a nice visual list, but add them manually by uploading packages. Of course that would require an extended file browser in PHP with a lot of Javascript or Ajax for the drag-drop events, and a lot more. Not easy, I never said that, but still it can be done.
[Android] dsixda:
The other thing to consider is how would a user be able to view and modify the files in advanced mode? Maybe let them download and view/edit, and then upload the changed copy?

Because it has to be a universal-device kitchen, the user would probably need to upload their base ROM to the server, which would be time-consuming.
[Android] hexskrew:
Though I am all for ease of use, and a visual front-end to the kitchen would be nice and a little easier, all you would be doing (to make it as non-destructive to compatibility and customizability as possible) would be putting a 'bow on a pig' so to speak as far as most people who feel they may benefit from it.

If we had enough resources to fully port the kitchen to multiple os builds of the kitchen, THEN maybe we would have something to go on, and I could see things like adding explorer support via a snap in, or plug ins to the interface to add functionality, and maybe even an update-script syntax checker, but unless we have some folks willing and with the knowhow to do so, it's just not feasable.

My stand on it, is I feel it's simple enough, and it's quite a feat to know we have a real working kitchen that spans across multiple android phone platforms.
[Captivate General] skinien:
Is anyone else experiencing "skipping" when playing music through Bluetooth? It's happening using Pandora and the stock music player.
[Captivate General] wildkarrde21:
I found that mine skipped when I had wifi on (and was not connected to an AP). Try turning wifi off.
[Captivate General] skinien:
Thanks. I'll give that a try.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
That happens to me every once and a while even without Bluetooth. My theroy is that another CPU process is running (like sync) slowing the CPU down to a crawl. I am not sure why that happens with a 1Ghz but it also happens playing Modern Combat so I'm assuming thats why. Froyo should fix it.
[Captivate General] cab9211:
I've been listening to music (stock samsung player) over bluetooth (Motorola S305) since a couple weeks now, no issues, no skipping with or without wifi.
[Captivate General] thindery:
mine seems to do it at the beginning of the songs within the first 30 seconnds to a minute of first listening. then it doesn't really do it too much(maybe once every few songs). I attribute it to all the widgets I run raping my phone day in and day out. poor little captivate... she takes it like a woman though.
[Captivate General] skinien:
Thanks for all of the replies. I tried turning wifi off and that worked for me.

When I bought my phone, it had Ezinput already installed with Pinyin. It worked great! Unfortunately the stock rom (Rhodium_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.07.707.1 ROM) was very slow so I installed Energy. Now, I have a fast system but no Chinese support. I've tried several IMEs like Sogou or this one[1] and none of them work correctly (the second one screwed up my phone and I had to hard reset, and it doesn't even bring up Chinese options in text messages).

I liked Ezinput the best, but I can't seem to find it in simplified Chinese anywhere, here or on HTC's website. Where can I get this?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Hi all,

I have had my Nexus One from about 2 weeks after launch, bought directly from www.google.com/phone

In April, I got a new Audi A4, which has the MMI with Bluetooth preparation, for hands-free car kit use.

Now, it used to work perfectly - incoming, outcoming calls, voice dial, etc.

I don't receive many calls when driving - I tend to use the time to ring others, so I'm not quite sure when this happened - but I can no longer receive incoming calls.

If I select "Answer" the call picks up, but the stereo kicks back in and I can't hear the caller, and all they hear is silence (they don't even hear the background noise of the car - it's literally silence).

I'm thinking it may have been when I upgraded to 2.2 FroYo.

And yet I can't find any posts anywhere of anyone else having the same issue.

So, I went to Audi - got them to run checks on the car, tried 4 different phones, all worked perfectly.

Tried the Nexus on another car - same fault.

I currently run Kang-o-rama 1.0 b2 SP1, which is based on Cyanogen 6.0 RC3. I had the same fault with 6.0 RC2 and RC1...

I've swapped ROMs quite a bit, and can't really remember what I've tried before this and when I jumped from 2.1 to 2.2... But as I said, they've always worked with making outgoing calls - it's just the rare incoming ones with sadly don't work.

I even tried evilSense's 2.2 ROM, but sadly couldn't even get that to pair with the carkit (even with the Discovery toggle trick).

So - anyone any ideas?

Yes, I've tried a System Reset on the MMI in the Audi - and the other car performing the same fault seems to rule out the car entirely.

It did work fine, and I can only assume it was with 2.1.

I don't really want to go back to 2.1 just because of my carkit - I'll miss all the auto-updates and other 2.2 lovelies (along with the speed!)

Help! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Plus: have also updated the radio whenever the newest one came out. I did use to suffer from the no data on '3G' bug (but worked fine on GPRS, Edge and HSDPA) but now running the Korean 5.0.. radio and that's running sweet.

Not read any Bluetooth issues being caused by the Radio version, though...?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
Well, flashing a Desire ROM to my phone, with working Bluetooth did the trick. Now works perfectly in the car.

So there is something in the standard Bluetooth stack in 2.2 which isn't compatible with the MMI.

But change the BlueZ with Desire... fixed.

My notification panel was messed up before I installed super circle battery. Any body else having this problem. It's really irritating me for some reason. It just looks broken. Check out the pics. The first pick is my homescreen, the second is full notification panel and the third is an empty notification panel. You shouldn't be able to see the icons... it should just be all white.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchi:
I am as well, and I appear to be set up the same way with Vibrant6 and the RyanZA lag fix. I noticed that it occurred with just the Vibrant6 ROM though.

Do you think it might be just designed that way?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00bish:
I ran into the same issue, and was able to resolve it by doing so:

I highly reccomend doing a nandroid backup first

1. Install MetaMorph from the android market

2. Visit the ClearBar v.0.3 post in the Themes & Apps forum

3. Download the clear-to-stock.zip & place it in the AndroidThemes folder of your internal SD card

4. Run MetaMorph & install/extract the clear-to-stock.zip theme

5. Install ONLY the "SubTheme: twframework-res.apk" theme (Morphs the pull-down notification list)

6. Reboot

That puts it back to stock, but it may remove other small UI customizations.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junglizste:
I don't see why it would be designed that way... It sucks. maybe if it was opaque it would look cool. It just looks broken now. you shouldn't see icons you can't click.

Is there maybe a notification panel mod I could flash that, while it might be different, would fix the see-through problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junglizste:
lol... Thanks noobish.

Was writing my last post while you were writing yours and you've answered my question.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchi:

[Vibrant General] brodie7838:
I've been adding custom audio notifications (read: voices from Portal) to my Vibrant. So far everything has worked perfectly:

1. Find <notification>.ogg I want to change

2. Convert replacement audio clip to .ogg using Audacity

3. Rename original <notification>.ogg to <notification>.ogg.BAK

4. Move new audio clips to /sdcard in Windows Explorer, then to /system/media/audio/ui in Root Explorer on the phone itself.

5. Reboot phone

6. Profit!

This has worked great for a week or so now, until randomly last night my Vibrant no longer plays any notifications at all.

- When I navigate to the Notification ringtone settings, it lists all the normal UI sounds, but I get no audio upon selecting one for play. It's the same in Gmail, SMS, etc settings as well.

- I've confirmed the files do exist in the proper directly, and I can get the files to play by tapping them open in doubleTwist/Audio Player via Root Explorer.

- I've successfully copied a backup of /audio/* back to /system/media a few times but the problem still persists.

-Other than installing a free game from the Market there have been no changes to the phone that I'm aware of.

Has anyone else tried this, and if so have you run into this problem?

There is a free app in the market called LED Disco that will flash your trackball any color you want(as long as the screen is timed out)

You pick the colors via settings. You can have it cycle thru all the colors as well.

It even kills itself when a notification comes in so the notification can take over the trackball color, and then turns itself back on when you clear the notification.
