Easiest way is to plug phone in and manually partition using android sdk. No extra programs you just need to be comfortable with using a command prompt.

Recommending the use of cracked software!? Seriously? This isn't gonna help the reputation of a "hacking" forum and is gonna get some poor noob infected with warez derived viruses.

And the other half is people asking when the camera will be fixed! :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Just removed references to using warez/cracked software.

I'd suggest you read the rules, specifically this:
[Desire Android Development] Fightspit:
Well, it is not fully working but no FC happens while I use these two apps. Anyway, the camera is still useless with black screen only so :/
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
sorry i meant TRIAL software. there fixed. sorry

@rolfd i dint post warez, didnt gave any link :)

again sorry, thou i think i was more in a grey area than black

[/offtopic]
[Desire Android Development] ephumuris:
You were promoting a way of obtaining warez. Thats against forum rules. Definitely black!

[Desire Android Development] kimlindo:
android.processing.media began FCing about fifteen minutes ago and has kept FCing every other minute since then. what is it for, and can I deactivate it somehow?
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
As mentioned by plerzelwupp, epubs are stored in /system/etc/ but even if you copy an epub here, it won't be visible in Reader. That is because epub details are stored in a db located at /data/data/com.htc.ereader/databases/ereader.db in a table called ebooks (and reading status details are stored in /data/data/com.htc.htcreader/databases/ereader.db). I don't suppose it would be a major task to create an epub importer utility as it's just a case of adding records to the db and linking to a corresponding jpg in /data/data/com.htc.ereader/cover/.

It looks like Reader is deliberately nobbled so books can't be imported in order to protect the revenue stream. :mad:

help,me = oob

im having lots of trouble installing the rom, i try to follow the steps in the description... BUT I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND THEM!, any chance theres a tutorial like a video? im asking you because you seem to know what you are doing, please help me thank you
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
This ROM is a little more demanding than ordinary ROMs as it is bigger so remind me: have you rooted yet (or is that the bit you are stuck on)?; have you installed any ROMS yet? Do you have an SD card with both fat and ext partitions on them? To save searching back, give us a full rundown of where you are in the process, what you have tried and what has failed?
[Desire Android Development] xfalax:
Hi, anyone has idea of this error? failure at line 101
[Desire Android Development] chemita:
no problem reboot system
[Desire Android Development] FoRmaTiTo:
Why is a shdc sd card not good? Isn't that what comes with the phone? What kind of card is recommended?
[Desire Android Development] quake2005:
I am experiencing A LOT of FC's everywhere in this rom
[Desire Android Development] xfalax:
The ROM installed, but I can`t understand this error .... I made a ext3 partition with Gparted and thought that was the problem .... since the previous version didn`t have that problem.

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] dezborders:
1.Did you do a full wipe, including davlik cache before flashing? If not, repeat it all.

2.Did you restore any form of data from a backup (e.g. Titanium)? If so, you shouldn't have - re-wipe and re-flash.

3.Did you flash any 3rd party add-ons or mods? Only mods designed specifically for this ROM work reliably. Re-wipe and re-flash.

If you do all of the above, you will not see any FCs, apart from camera apps. ;)
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
It needs to be microsd, not just sd.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
When does the error happen?
[Desire Android Development] chry258:
Hello everyone I wanted to know if the camera works in this rom?
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
No, none if the HD roms have a working camera.
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
Did you do a wipe before you flashed the rom? I had lots of fc's to cuz i did no wipe
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
Doh i think the guy knows SD cards dont fit in the micro SD slot of the phone, think he just forgot to type micro :P

Sorry my bad, thought everybody on this forum (at least Android development) knows the difference ;)
[Desire Android Development] piam:
is this right

I love your Rom but battery life is terrible t dropped five percent sitting on the side for 10 mins. The phone screen was off and nothing downloading. Any suggestions
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
No, when he quoted the cheap price, he then realised that it was cheap because it was sd, not microsd. :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
I average 2% per hour with screen off. Check Settings, About Phone, Battery, Battery Use and see if that gives you a clue. There is also an app called SystemPanel which can record background app useage which may also help.
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
I have lost 1% in 2 hours with no Use . This is Amazing.
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
Lost 1 % in two Hours ( Screen off ) , this is Amazing .

Have taken the Phone this morning from the socket , written Sms , Read Emails , any Calls and Internet use ,

now 12 hours Later my Akku is at 59% . This is absolutly great

Edit: Sorry for double post
[Desire Android Development] kavey:
Sweet. I took the voice dialer apk from a MCR for Desire 2.2 and copied it into the v8 ROM into the systems app folder before flashing, and now have voice dialling too as a system app :D

1692 in Quadrant.... this thing flies.

Once camera is sorted, this thing will be perfect - never thought a Sense ROM would be so fast; well done HTC for optimising it so well, and robocik for the conversion!
[Desire Android Development] besuikerd:
My battery drain problem was fixed after a upgrade to v0.8, hope a reflash will do the trick for u

Edit: sorry pinkyslayer for my comment over micro SD, my bad.
[Desire Android Development] PinkySlayer:
No prob. :D
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
Voice search works like voice dial, i think... never used voice dial hehe

but i noticed it works just in english, when i choose my native language it just search, nothing more...
[Android Software Development] TuckerG:
While I am not new in any way to Java programming, I am still quite a novice at Android development. Regardless of this, I took it upon myself to mobile-ify a custom chat applet for a website I frequent. The question here is, what would be the best way of going about this?

The application needs to be able to store login info on the device for ease of use. Every time the user joins the chat, it will send a POST request to the website's login.php with the stored username and password, to get an SID back which will be used to login to the chat. For this I plan on using a simple SQLite database.

After it has the SID, the phone will establish a connection with the server and, once connected, send it a message containing "/login [sid]". From then on, the user is connected to the chat and will receive messages and be able to send them. How I'm currently going about this is to use a background Service which will actually handle the connection, so the user can put the chat on hold while they do something else, and when they return will still be connected and receiving messages.

This second part is what I'm not sure about: since the Service handles the connection, the Activity which handles the UI needs to be aware of it. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this aspect of Activity-Service communication. Would a BroadcastReceiver or some other class be more suited for this purpose? It's hard to decide when the examples provided in the Android Dev Guide don't quite match up.

Any helpful tips or suggestions are always appreciated.

Activity-Service interaction is tricky, hope this helps:

[Fascinate General] johnt2k:
I usually dont start new posts, i try to post in the OP's thread and search but beings Fascinate is new their isnt much help or info to search for :confused:

i flashed CWR Using ODIN 2 days ago and ever since i dont have WIFI. when i turn it on it says scanning and then comes up with a message saying Unable to Scan For WIFI and then it Turns Wifi Off before i can even attempt to manually enter my SSID and WEP key

i know in the Early days back on the G1 you would always have to run Fix_permissions which i have tried and sometimes manually run command prompt to get stuff like this back working again but im not sure what to do :mad:
[Fascinate General] johnt2k:
Update still dont have wifi, but wifi tether works:mad:
[Fascinate General] rufusjenkins:
I know this is an older thread, but I recently had this issue randomly happen to me and found an answer in another xda forum and figured I'd share what I found:
[Fascinate General] wilshyre:
Just thought i'd say thank you for this post. Suddenly my wifi stopped working and was telling me it was unable to scan, and I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on because I hadn't flashed anything recently... Then I just happened to come across this post. I deleted that file in /data/wifi and rebooted, and suddenly it worked again. You just saved me a lot of time.. my next step was to re-flash the dl09 radio because I had tried various other possible solutions with not luck, and had ran out of ideas. Then I came here not even looking for a solution, just looking for anything new that might've popped up, and saw this.

So, in summary of this unnecessarily long post...

thanks, and it worked.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uss_Defiant:
Hey guys,

I have an urgent problem... I was just trying to update to an older ROM via Odin 1.3, and for some reason the update seems to have stopped. Its currently at

<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> cache.rfs

<ID:0/003> dbdata.rfs

<ID:0/003> factoryfs.rfs

with the bar 1/2 way on my phone/screen and not having moved for a good 15 min. Shall I remove it the phone and pull the batt? I uninstalled the voodoo lagfix right before so i'm not sure if it has anything to do with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dupel:
First of all how did you uninstall it? ANd it shouldnt interfere.

Anyway - no point in waiting. Pull out, try again, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simtec09:
I agree, post back with any problems, even if you get the 'phone-!-pc' or 'BRICKED SCREEN' you should still be ok.

Can u manualy get into download mode by the vol, home and power buttons or ADB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uss_Defiant:
Thanks guys, pulled the battery.. but when I did the phone didn't turn on, but luckily download mode still worked.

After that, flashed the PIT on its own, with "Re-Partition" checked, followed by flashing everything else (minus PIT) with re-partition not checked. For some reason no other way worked.

Thanks again.

"Xbox LIVE Update Preview Program

I am happy to announce that we’re doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. The Preview Program will give you the chance to check out ESPN on Xbox LIVE, Zune music, Netflix search, the new Xbox LIVE dashboard, and new updates to Zune video and Family Settings on your Xbox 360*. Much like we did last year, you’ll need to visit the Microsoft Connect site from this link and sign in with your Windows LIVE ID that is connected to your Xbox LIVE Gamertag. Once you complete the survey that is presented to you, the Connect site will notify you immediately if you’ve been accepted. A couple of points before you head off to register:

We’re looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good.

This is not for Kinect. You will not be receiving a Kinect sensor if you are chosen to participate.

This opportunity is open to all Xbox LIVE Members in regions where Xbox LIVE is available.

To avoid any problems, read the survey carefully and double check all the information your provide.

While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, Priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.

I’ll be sure to updated this post if the program fills up."

[Droid 2 General] Chad_Petree:
Is the camera used on the droid 2 the same as the original droid? droid's camera has got to be one the WORST cameras ive tried awful quality and slow :(
[Droid 2 General] goliathvt:
I never owned an original droid but I have been surprised at how good the images on my D2 look. They're still not at the level of a dedicated camera, of course, but they are miles above what I had before--a Samsung Omnia. Holy crap, now THAT was a terrible camera... I cringe just thinking about it.
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
yeah the droid 2 camera is one of the high points of the phone except you can't zoom
[Droid 2 General] droidfanatic:
Use the volume buttons...it can zoom zoom zoom :)
[Droid 2 General] Chad_Petree:
can u guys post some samples? btw heres what engadget had to say about droidd's 2 camera: "Motorola seems to have glossed over the camera without much thought... it's still 5 megapixels with a max video capture resolution of 720 x 480 (in other words, 480p). The original Droid has a famously bad shooter, and we regret to say the Droid 2 doesn't seem to be much better -- autofocus is still noisy and slow, macro mode doesn't really work, and images are often hazy and heavily artifacted. " :(
[Droid 2 General] pool_shark:
I totally disagree. I think the Omnia camera is much better than the D2. In order for me to get decent pics on the D2 I have to take the pics in really good lighting. I have taken pics in almost total darkness with the Omnia and they still looked good.

The first pic was taken with the Omnia, the 2nd with the Droid 2, the 3rd with the Droid 2 plus the Vignette software set to velvia, which made the pic a lot better.

The first 2 were taken one after the other in the same room with the same light, no flash on either. Though I think I had changed the settings on the D2 camera trying to get a better picture. I may have changed the ISO .
[Droid 2 General] Chad_Petree:
that droid pic loks AWFUL :/ , im surprised at how much it looks with vignete :/
[Droid 2 General] jamiedhouse:
I like the D2 camera...

Even after reading the negative camera reviews, I really like it. I take pictures of my newborn daughter all the time. I use it in standard mode, b/w, and with the flash in low light. I have never had the washed out results that you see in the above attachment. I have attached a pic using the panorama function in my neighborhood. Really surprised at how easy it is to use. I agree that it should have been update in the D2 since the D1, especially with 720p recording, but I will keep it.
[Droid 2 General] pool_shark:
I have a few more with the D2 in good lighting and they are actually pretty good, but the key is the lighting.

Here is one.
[Droid 2 General] goliathvt:
Attached are some photos I've taken with mine. Keep in mind XDA resizes images to about 90kb. At full resolution, these look even better.
[Droid 2 General] Chad_Petree:
that pic looks effing good, you almost convinced me until i saw the pics from these guys x.x
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
You did read where he said that xda resizes them, therefore the bad quality, right? lol
[Droid 2 General] Chad_Petree:
they should look even better in smaller size :)
[Droid 2 General] mrkite38:
Not dimensional shrink, file size shrink - he said they resize them to 90k.
[Droid 2 General] Sugrat:
I've found that in my testing, if you take a picture at 5mp and then resize to about 1024x768, the pictures look pretty good (unless it's in low light).

It's when you blow up the 5mp picture to 100% that you see the grain and noise.

I didn't like it at first but it's growing on me ;)
[Droid 2 General] gambop:
It 's impossible. That Droid2's pic is awful. I can't believe it

We need RNDIS or usb-net support compiled into the kernel or as a module for our kernel, unfortunately. I'm not aware of any roms that offer this yet.
[Epic 4G General] tommi_han:
We have usb tether stock on our phone but I couldn't get it to connect even though it install samsung modem on my laptop. Anybody know how to get it to work? Laptop ask for dial up networking and phone number...
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
This will be much easier when (a) Froyo comes out OR (b) cm6 comes out for the EPIC. When my EVO was still on 2.1 I remember this being a PITA.

If you are willing to fiddle a bit, this method DOES work on the EPIC, I've tried it and can confirm 100% that it works: http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
I will be working on this more, as I'm sure Eugene will be too so we can get a working, bug free froyo to hold us off until we get our hands on an official release with a 2.2 kernel. As usual, this is experimental, there are bugs, flash at your own risk. Please do not report any bugs at this time, we are aware of them and are working to get this running smoothly.

WARNING: Some have reported that this wipes the internal sdcard, I personally have not had this happen to me and I've flashed this at least 100 times. None the less, BACKUP you internal before hand just in case!

Download: Vibrant Froyo JP3 Test3

- Flash 10.1 full was hit and miss but now it works flawlessly! You can even watch hulu! ooolala

Download: Vibrant Froyo JP3 Test2

- remapped buttons (menu, home, back, search) EDIT: the home button apparently is also acting as a back button, I will fix today.

Download: Vibrant Froyo JP3 Test1

- Fixed wifi!

Recovery:

1. Recovery Works Perfect, but up & down are reversed

2. When using nand restore, Be-sure to flash a 2.1 Kernel as well. (Nand does not replace the kernel when restoring)

3. ClockworkMod now see's the sdcard from froyo, so Downgrading is fine as long the rom you are flashing has a Kernel that Pre-Flashes / or you flash a 2.1 kernel after switching to another 2.1 Rom coming from Froyo!

4. And YES...you can revert back...I've already done it a few times. Just flash another rom like Eugenes or mine (bionix) and you'll be back to 2.1.

Rom Issue's:

1. Volume Key's are now Fixed, up is up.... ect.

2. 3.5m Headset Jack not working **broken - fix in progress**

3. Home & Back key both acts as the HOME button **FIXED!**

4. Bluetooth **working**

5. Wifi **now working!**

6. GPS **broken - fix in progress**

7. To answer in advance...no...JIT is not working currently.

[Vibrant Android Development] almyz125:
Awesome! adding to the bible shortly, do you use odin to flash this?
[Vibrant Android Development] zaduma:
Working great, using a stock launcher from 2.2 which I have attached to this message. Never would have thought not being able to use back button would be a problem. It is. Gonna get the android keyboard and slap it on her too.
[Vibrant Android Development] sombionix:
No, its a flashable.zip through clockwork.
[Vibrant Android Development] almyz125:
oh nice makes life so much easier.
[Vibrant Android Development] rexrbgh:
Ok, just to clarify. In order to revert all you have to do is flash another rom on top of this one? No special procedures, no using adb, no reflash via odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Awesome. I love your work vs some of the others. I was waiting for you to jump on this. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Trev420:
That's what it sounds like. As long as you flash a rom that flashes the 2.1 kernal (like Eugene's and bionix roms).
[Vibrant Android Development] boogerburns:
Will flash when I get home. Im yearning for that froyo. Im sick of Eclair. Had froyo on the G1, and it was amazing.
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
Make sure the kernel is included in the rom you're flashing to revert, I know a couple of Eugene's didn't include kernels

And now, I am researching how to fix the flex cable connecting the LCD screen to the board to get landscape mode to automatically switch.

Any ideas or threads on how to take apart and fix this problem? Even buying the parts is probobly less expensive than buying a new xperia.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
Just purchase a new flex cable and search internet for disassembly/reassembly videos.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwy7.fox:
Yup, you gotta take the Xperia apart, it's alot simpler than you think. Just takes time.

I agree, you need a new flex cable, and that cable connects to the back of the 'motherboard' and the screen. It is covered in this silvery-colored tape, but gently tugging should do it.

I've bought a flex cable cable off eBay, and it worked!
