[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prodigy6630:
I have been reading up, trying to find out if there is any projects around for developing an Android ROM for Samsung Star S5233A.

As far as I can find, the hardware is capable of running Android but some features need to be removed in order to save resources, such as Wifi, 3G, GPS, etc. as the phone does not support it.

I found a project ToccoDroid, which looks to have just recently started development and they are still trying to get a bootloder working.

Are there any other projects running or beta's that I can try?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirshr:
i flushed the JG8 (i9000) firm on to the captivate.

i dont have the market app and every time i try to download an app, like through bar-codes, i get "web page not available".

any one had this problem? what should i do?

thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Veldetta:
Can someone develop an app our mod to have music play controls (play, fast forward, rewind, and stop) when you pull down the notification bar? The play controls should overlay the actual music player notification.

My Evo has replaced my ipod touch and I find it cumbersome that I have to pull down the notification bar, click on the music play to bring up the app, just to rewind or forward to the next song. I rather one less click and be able to have those controls right in the notification bar. I came from the Palm Pre where the music controls were easily accessible. Anyway, anyone up for the challenge? Thanks in advance for your efforts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Why don't u just use q widget and not even have to pull the bar down

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Status Flow:
Q Widget? Is that in the market?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
A* widget... sorry.

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Status Flow:
Haha okay I see now. Thanks for clearing that up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Veldetta:
I do use a widget but I would like this fair added for when I'm multitasking. For example, I'm using an app, I don't want to leave that app, to go to my music player just to change the song , I would like to change it from the notification bar therefore I'm not leaving the app I'm using.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rkboid:
Try out Quick Desk. Will allow you to access widgets/programs from anywhere without exiting a program. Either a double tap on the home button, or a long press of the search button will pop up a customized screen that you can place a music widget on.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Veldetta:
Thanks, I'll try that out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] THEGAMEPLAY94:
I just set it up and I love it!

So far quick desk is sweet(downloaded it last night) It's even playing nice with my widget locker(which also "requires" that it be set as the default home also) thanks for the suggestion!

Anybody know any good video converters for the desire?
[Desire General] dragonithe:
I use super C and it work really nice.
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
does it have the htc desire setting on it or do you have to put in your own custom resolution and settings?

Just downloaded a HTC Converter from here http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/htc/download/ trying it now.

Ohhh and its FREE
[Desire General] Knirgh:
Try handbrake, doesn't violate the GPL unlike videora
[Desire General] dayosaysyosh:
i just use Rock Player, needs no converting to play most my files, other than that i use Allok Video to MP4, it converts everything
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
what does everybody convert there files to?(res, file type and frame rate etc) jesus i just converted a dvd and its still coming out at 2.1 gig i was hoping to get at dvd down to about 500-700mb with good quality on the phone.
[Desire General] !PANDA:
most RMVB or MKV are about 350-400 mb, but for that you'd need to use RockPlayer to run the file :)

hope this helps! good Luck!
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
Lol what are these short for? never heard of them, i already have rock player
[Desire General] TheReaperUK:
XMedia Recode, That converter has HTC Bravo/Desire support.

http://www.xmedia-recode.de/

Webpage is not in english, but the program does support english, oh and its FREE and gets most video files down to 600/700 meg.

hi There

during rooting by gold card,

gold card made done,

after 1st step rooting, my desire is can not working display.

I thinks power is on, but display is noting.

how can i fix this?

can i return unrooting?

please help me anybody.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
display ain't working eh? If your Desire is quite new, you've probobly got an SLCD rather then the usual AMOILED display. With the SLCD, comes a different HBOOT< which needs another method of rooting. For now, you have bricked your phone, worry not! There is a way of un-bricking it :) check out the Development section in the desire forum ;)

hope this helps! good Luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaegyun021:
thank you for your reply.

you mean my phone display is not Amoled? could you link for me where can i find unrooting? and where can i find slcd rooting way?

Hello

check this out - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618

this is for hboot 0.83, you can check it by - power off phone, power on while holding volume down

what probably happened is that you flashed a wrong recovery image designed for the other screen type

check the hboot, try the link, if there is something else, post here :)

edit: you can unroot by flashing the original shipped ruu for your device which is carrier dependant

I think its built into maps. When you search a location you can choose get directions or navigate.

It comes packaged with google maps, right? Try uninstalling that and reinstalling.

Dear XDA Team,

I would like to buy an Android mobile. My budget is Rs. 10 k to 12 k. So suggest me which one would be cheap and best. My location is Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh, India.
[General Questions and Answers] bartmanus:
If you can get a second-hand HTC Magic, that would be great. If you want a new phone, perhaps HTC Wildfire.
[General Questions and Answers] george_russos:
You could also look at the X10 Mini, but if my budget was this, I would go for the HTC Wildfire. HTC has promised it will get FroYo and when it gets rooted you will have lots of things to look at and have fun
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
Ok so I tried to play sonic and I couldn't jump n run, I've been tolerant to no mt, but now that a couple apps I've been paying for needs multi touch I'm starting to really hate my phone, its an iphone killer, but I can't take this much longer, dear sony, get off your rich ass and fix this, or give me the beta of 2.1 n I'll shutup, I'm sorry, I never rant but jeez sony get your act together... How do you feel, hopefully if sony sees this with all the complaints in one forum they might actually get off their lazy ass, if anyone is offended off my post I'm sorry...
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Nope! Love it as it is. Sorry! Being impatient will make your blood pressure boil and add to your stress level. Just relax, it will come very soon or sell your phone and get the latest one...:D
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Couldn't care less for mt. Love the phone just as it is now...no promises 2.1 will bring mt either and again I couldn't care less...but why did you get this phone knowing it didn't have mt?
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
IMO its better than the iPhone and most other phones but it couldve been WAY better if it had MT and up to date android.
[XPERIA X10 General] PollPixx:
I am really sorry, but I always laugh when I read people are really really, angry because they can't play some game well on their phone. Buy yourself a psp or ps3, or one of the other great game consuls, the graphics and sound is a hundred times better. If you are really into games than you have to admit playing a game on your phone is fun to kill some time, but not for playing seriously...
[XPERIA X10 General] tigger69:
I play a few games on mine, particularly zenonia, but nothing seriously. Try the psx emulator, i was really suprised how well it runs. I'm happy with it as it is, but i am looking forward to 2.1 and a bootloader hack working.
[XPERIA X10 General] speeee:
If MT is such a huge issue for playing your games just set the Camera button as your Jump button there you go problem solved

in recing games set the (camera key) to accellerate and the (volume up key) for Brake

there you go no more multi-touch issues now stop complaining people =P
[XPERIA X10 General] rmourar:
Actually I'm very happy with my x10... specially since I've got it to the latest firmware, I had a milestone before (which has Multi-touch) and I take the xperia any day, better battery life, sleeker design, faster processor, better internal memory, and when it gets 2.1 it will be even better!!

I don't think that we'll get mt with 2.1 and I really don't mind, if you really need games get a psp as was said above or a phone that you know has mt...
[XPERIA X10 General] Gentimp:
I got pissed when I unboxed this phone. First you see the phone and below it there were some low-quality straight out of hell earphones. I mean, with a phone like this at least give in-ear phones...

A cord might've been usefull too, the phone is so big that when I try to operate it with one hand, I get afraid because it feels like it will drop.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Well... i like my X10, but Se F***D UP this one.If they launch the X10 with the latest software and MT then this phone would be one of the best ones arround.

But i like it this way too.:D
[XPERIA X10 General] waltah!:
It doesn't bother me because I knew it didn't have mt when I bought it.
[XPERIA X10 General] BrockFerens:
For snes games I set volume up, and down as left and right, this allows me to use all on screen controls, find it works well for racing to.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I just can't understand why people buy a PHONE! That since BEFORE release has been told by SE has NO MT. And then start crying and wining and *****ing about it not having MT, you sad sorry bunch.. you bought the wrong phone ppl! *sigh*
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I got regular phones, in-ear phones, extension cord and the bt headset mw600. But i probably paid more for mine. About 580 euro.
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
You got what you bought. Stop whinning!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
I think people bought the phone knowing it didn't have MT due to 1.6 but not that it will never have MT, because SE decided to be cheap and not include hardware support for MT. They still push the fact that it has MT on their US website, sad when the maker of the phone isn't clear if it has MT or not.

Regardless of how you feel about MT it is a mistake for SE not to have the feature. When 2.1 finally comes out if it doesn't give the X10 MT functionality that's the thing that will be reported the most, no matter what else they got right with the release. Because of SE's already weak position in the market they can't afford stupid moves like this.

The MT isn't important argument reminds me of the MMS is not important argument IPhone fanboys used before the IPhone had MMS :). I hardly use MMS but still like that I have the option to send one.
[XPERIA X10 General] NiJunge:
Im realy disapointed with the phone two

First of all I thought it was smaller and that it had a larger screen

And it has way to short battery life I was expecting 2 month batt time And look what We got

I dosent even have the 100Watt amp with speakers that I expected, no HD tv receiver no cofee maker no wheels no ..........:D
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
in answer to the OP's question...... No, I'm not.
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
Actually, re: headphones. My x10 came with a pair of really good ones. A friend got his @ duty free (Singapore airport iirc) and his ones are just vile. Even the plastic feels crappier.

So do different markets get different accessories?

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Yep - UK got cheapo headset.. Canada (I think) got the MW600... But the prices and contracts are all different too... I got a free handset on £30 a month for 2 years... unlimited data, tonnes of texts and minutes (more that I'll ever use!)..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tempott:
Hi all. I just bought the Galaxy S Vibrant, and I love it. I wanted to change the wallpaper, so I made my own. I crop my pics in Photoshop (960x800) and the sizes come around 500-700KB. I then transfer them onto my phone via Kies. Then when I go into the phone to set the pic as wallpaper, I stretch out the orange crop square to include the full picture, then set as wallpaper. But the pics don't look sharp on the phone. They are not incredibly dull, but they definitely don't look as sharp as I know they are on my computer monitor. And I have a run of the mill $200 computer monitor. Even the factory wallpapers look sharper on the phone. Does anyone know why this is? Great forum, thanks for all the help!

**UPDATE**

Ok so here's what was happening, First off let me just say I finally got reconnected to my PC, don't ask me how, because it took half a day to finally connect, and I have no Idea why it decided to all of a sudden successfully connect to my PC after forever failing to connect. Whatevs....back to the topic at hand. So when I was transferring Pics from Kies to Phone, apparently Kies was compressing the image to save space I guess. I got hooked up as mass storage, looked at the pics on the phone and low and behold my 600+ KB pic was showing to only be a measly 60KB pic on the phone. Big time compression from Kies. So I quickly deleted that garbage off the phone, and instead dragged and dropped my original 600+KB pic on to the phone, it's still at the correct resolution of 960x800, took a look at it on the phone's display and VOILA sheer utter crispness. Just the way it should be. So there you go, DONT USE KIES TO TRANSFER PICS!!! Hope that helps anyone making their own wallpaper. Now to go and see if I can find a solution to this issue of hit and miss with connecting to my PC. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Metatron111:
The Samsung i9000 has a resolution of 480x800. If a picture has a different resolution, the phone has to "recalculate" the picture, because the resolutions dont match. At first i would try to change the resolution of the picture to that one of the phone and see if its any better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Toss3:
I tried everything from downloading 2560x1600 images to resizing them in photoshop to no avail - they always looked blurred once set as wallpapers on the SGS. Then I tried an iPad wallpaper(1024x1024) and lo' and behold - 't was sharp!

So to anyone looking for custom wallpapers for the SGS just download the ones meant for the iPad and then use the gallery to set it as wallpaper and you'll have a razor sharp wallpaper.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TMReuffurth:
I allways use my photos (taken from digital camera) as they are, without changing resolution. Touchwiz automatically rezises the images/photos to fit the best way. Never had any blured background.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Toss3:
You must be kidding because on my galaxy they look like utter crap. Are you sure they are sharp(have you compared them to the ones that come pre-installed)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] omaga:
Exellent tip toss3 with the iPad wallpapers! they are really sharp:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] TMReuffurth:
Really don´t know what you mean! Every photo i use as background looks exactly as it looks on my Desktop Computer. No blur, no distortion, no unscharpening. They really look like the original!

I don´t understand why they should look different!? When i choose a background Photo or image, the Phone gives me the ability to select the part (with a rectangle) i want to see as my background. So the phone automatically crops the photo. I mean why to crop it manually on the home computer? Doesn´t make any sense.

BTW: i haven´t my SGS rooted and haven´t installed a different Launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sensi_:
if you crop your pictures with the tools for setting wallpapers then i agree they are very poor, very blurry!

i cropped one of these images in PS to that reso, and it looks freekin awsome.

are you saving your PS image properly? max quality etc? .png i think is best also
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] JuWa:
My wallpapers are sharp, if they are in 960x800. Most of the other walls are also sharp, even they would be 1280x800. There is also an app on the market colled: Wallpaper Set & Save. This keeps the wallpaper sharp, but the walls must be the right resolution, cause it scales it to fit the screen automatic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Tempott:
Yes resolution of the screen is 480x800, but the wallpaper needs to cover the area of all 7 backgrounds. That makes it an area of 960x800. The factory wallpaper are all 960x800. For instance the factory wallpaper of the kitten is 960x800 and only 178KB in size. My pic I'm using for my wallpaper is a pic I took with my Nikon D90 cropped to 960x800 and downsized to 616KB. My pic definitely looks sharper than any of the factory wallpapers, but once I transfer it to the phone, it loses some the sharpness. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] The.Opethian:
960 by 800 should be the resolution. Any resizing will produce a less than ideal image. I'm not sure why (probably the algorithm used in resizing the image?) but it's one those little things that hopefully gets fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Spybreak:
Try sending it via email to yourself instead of using kies, or uploading it via USB drive.

I've never had any problems with custom backgrounds on the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] omaga:
or transfer via bluetooth if the laptop/desktop has that
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yc1437:
You can just always send you files from pc to phone via bluetooth, while SGS having gps issue, its bluetooth connectivity rocks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ptechnix:
I had this problem which annoyed the hell outta me. Sure I could resize it, but on a modern phone I think it's quite silly that it's not able to auto adjust it automatically.

To get around manual adjustment, use an app called "Wallpaper Set and Save" from the app store. It will do exactly as you need. It's made my life a hell of a lot easier. Or, you could use a wallpaper app to download and set such as Backgrounds or Flikie Wallpapers which also work a treat.

Personally, I'd recommend getting WSS for setting your own papers, and using Flikie for finding new ones. The interface on Flikie is fantastic (similar to the native gallery app), and the range and quality of wallpapers on it are sensational :)

Edit: Oh, and just to add, if you want to add custom backgrounds to apps like Handcent, you'll have to manually resize them or you'll face the same crop-expand-horrid quality issues.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jconradb:
Looking at your spec on your HD2 all is ok except you will need 2.12**** radio the offset of this is of course a hard HSPL. Look at the forum for flashing roms and hspl as you will have to first change your stock hspl and then flash the new radio. I run the standard WWE build 1.66.
