that's gonna take some time.. cause none of the other devs themed EVERY apk in it. they just use the stock ones. It's as easy as replacing them.

just my luck lol right when I release it a new one comes out
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I actually don't think I have enough time to do all of that.. I am leaving soon for my ship and have to get everything ready.. This was based on the leak right before the OTA, so most should be very similar, if not the same. I can't update this beta for a while..
[EVO 4G Android Development] BIGWORM:
I totally forgot you themed those APKs. Sorry if it sounded like I was rushing you. I was just curious about it, that's all.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
This is my first time to restore a nandroid backup i recently made. The load bar isnt animated any longer and its sitting on:

"restoring data...

event_data@128....txt"

the first time i pulled the battery after about 5 minutes and rebooted into what appeared to be a partial restore, but the home button didnt work and i powered down before it finished synching my settings. Im on my second attempt, sitting at the same place and its been close to 10 minutes, is this normal or should i just try pulling the battery again and reflashing the rom altogether? I wiped the first time even though my searching said it wasnt necessary, no wipe the second time. here are my unhelpful search results:

http://www.google.com/search?source...s+nandroid+restore+take+on+nexus+one?&qscrl=1

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd00:
Doesn't sound too good i'm afraid & I am of little help either as I too am new to Android ROM flashing - but rather, as a help to others, can you state what type & version of recovery you are using (ClockWorkMod / amon_ra), what Nexus you have (AMOLED / SLCD), whether you have the phone connected over USB when backing up / restoring, android version backed up, what charge level you had etc.

I believe all of these elements can affect your results in one way or another.

e.g, I believe for SLCD, you require amon_ra v1.8.0.1 & some people have reported issues if performing the operations while connected to USB.

Good luck & let us know how you get on.

Steve.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
thanks, i ended up just reflashing the rom because restore kept freezing. I remember usb was not plugged in during backup, it may have been during the first restore, i dont recall, but it was definitely not plugged in the second time. Im just glad no serious damage was done though, i guess i just wont do nandroid anymore ill stick with the rom manager backup method. Im using clockwork recovery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
The backup/restore function in Clockwork is the same as what you get in ROM Manager.

I had a restore freeze on me too, during the data segment. Same thing happened twice. Here's what I did to fix it:

1) Booted into Clockwork

2) Wiped cache and data

3) Went into the nandroid menu, "Advanced" restore

4) Restored the data partition *only* - this succeeded where other restores had failed

5) Restored each remaining partition individually as well, also from the Advanced menu

6) Booted up and everything was fine
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
thanks im going to remember this, the more things i have to try when something goes bad, the better
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
I've run into a similar hangup before running Clockwork, and fixed it pretty much the same way you did. I've since gone back to Amon's recovery, as its nandroid functions seem to be more reliable.

hey, is there a rooted version of the latest OTA available yet? Ive searched through the forum and all i could see is a post from 5 days ago saying wait for the rooted version, so just wondering if i missed it somewhere?

Thanks

You can root it with the Unrevoked RC (see #unrevokedtest on freenode to get it)
[Desire General] gyro11:
ok, no idea what that is...never even heard of it. is it easy to use?
[Desire General] gyro11:
also...does using it wide all the data from your phone? I read one post on here that said that it did

No, it does not wipe any data from your phone.
[HD2 General] jngggggggg:
I got my HD2 in hong kong:

manila:1.0.19211620.0

rom:1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE

OS: 5.2.21869 (2.1869.5.0.082)

so after installing the cab i noticed that everytime i tried to put the music player on the first homepage above the main page, i would encounter a manila problem and then the top left of my screeen would be replaced by a white box. thereafter, the music player and white box would be stuck on the screen even if i change homepage tabs.

but my main problem is that the phone will always freeze very frequently. It happens a lot after i lock my screen. I will press a hardware button and the buttons will light up but the screen will take a while to turn on (if it even ends up turning on). And even if it does, all i see sometimes is the notification bar at the top of the screen where the battery, reception and wifi info is. Sometimes i can click the start menu key or the screen key and access the start menu but not always.

another problem is that somtimes when pressing a key after hte phone has been locked and screen turned off, it will reappear at the last screen i was after before locking the phone. it may then suddenly go to the lock screen, or just freeze there.

another problem i have is that after soft resetting, it takes a REALLY long time to "load htc sense". sometimes the text telling me its loading will disappear for seconds and reappear. i have had a point where sense just refused to load so i had to reinstall the cab. luckily for me at the time i was still able to access the start menu.

also, sometimes when i'm just using my phone in general, the screen will freeze and then the phone will go back to the "loading htc sense" page. For the most part, htc sense does load in this situation

now the phone runs very slowly and glitches between previously viewed pages. the camcorder barely runs..

it seems that many things trigger the phone to freeze but its always the same things that do.

i would appreciate any help from the developers or anything with experiences that are like mine.

i know my manila version is off but i asked someone in a different thread and he said that my manila version should be compatable.. if it is not, i guess i have no choice but to uninstall it.. shame

if so, could someone tell me how to uninstall? thanks

Hey all!

Here is my challenge. There are a ton of good music apps out there, but they're all lacking ONE HUGE feature. Maybe it is just me, but I am more concerned about two things in my MP3 collection... Artist and song title. I know people love to organize albums and have the album art and all, and it is great. However, I have thousands of songs on my PC and a few hundred on my phone and cannot bear to go through them all and properly tag the albums.

The nuisance is that every music app (except bTunes which I am still using but is no longer supported) automatically makes you choose albums after hitting an artist. I would KILL for an option to disable this. If I click on Radiohead or Sigur Ros, I would love to just have a single clean list of all the SONGS that belong to that artist without having to remember which album they belong to, or have to hit a second click to "see all songs." BTunes has this feature, along with a great clean widget, but the dev has been very quiet lately, so I am asking, BEGGING the amazing Android dev community to see what we can come up with!

*iTunes look alike GUI and/or great clean simple widget is a plus!

Thanks guys!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muthaflaco:
When I first got my Cappy it could play 720p .mkv no problem. Then after I flashed a few times, it wouldn't play the video, just the sound. I figured in the newer roms that samsung had lowered the bitrate allowed. A couple days ago I flashed the I9000 2.1 kernel, and then Tayutama's rom in the I9000 section.

720p .mkv played flawlessly. It was kinda glitchy for me so I flashed to Cognition. (which is awesome btw) It'll play .mkv on lower resolution no problem.

It'll also play .avi, and flac too.

Why won't my Cappy play 720p .mkv?

Edit: Mod, please move this to Q&A if it's not deemed a development question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarmadukeMSB:
Bump from a guy with the same issue. I'm on JF6 though. :/ Perhaps we have stumbled upon matroska files that contain audio tracks the captivate has codecs for, but not the video tracks? I'm not sure if this is how this would work. Can you inspect your mkv container for the format of audio and video tracks in it? I'll check mine when I get off work. Maybe there's a common combination that doesn't play nice with the captivate.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnshrdr:
With that MediaInfo on that matroska file, I would definitely try to re-encode the video. If you change the resolution to be 800x480, you can significantly drop the bitrate. I bet you could even still use high H.264 levels that use CABAC and such and it would play without a problem.

But before you do a full encode, just encode segments, like a 30 second sample, and see what results you get.

Also it might be worth trying to find a media player that uses lavf for decoding.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarmadukeMSB:
I know the video track is pretty overkill, but in other threads there are plenty of people playing higher bitrates AVC without issue it seems. And I'm not having stuttering or sync issues. It's just a black screen with audio working fine.

Lots of flags thrown up at 6 channel AC-3 audio however. I find it hard to wrap my brain around why the audio would cause the video not to work though ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muthaflaco:
It would be nice if some dev made a codec pack for the stock Android player. Still downloading my mkv...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muthaflaco:
Here's my MediaInfo. It might very well be the 6 channel audio causing a glitch. I'm looking for a program that will demux, let me re-encode the audio to 5 channel @ 41khz. I'm going to work soon, if there's results, I'll post them tomorrow.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarmadukeMSB:
My multichannel AC-3 theory seems to be debunked. Found a few people running it with no issues.

New theory: Header Removal Compression. Seems there are players out there that don't play nice with this matroska spec, which is built in as enabled on some muxing and encoding software. Googling around shows a handful of media player and media software that won't work with it. Anyone know how to tell if an mkv was built with header compression enabled?

I'll try making an mkv with it turned on and one with it turned off and see what happens.

So last night I tried to play the latest episode of Dexter (720p) in the stock player. I was using the Cognition ROM v2.1.4. It didn't play the video, just the audio. When I got off work I flashed to Tayutama's i9000-GT ROM. I played the same file in the stock player, and it played great, no stuttering, audio was perfect and in sync. There's something different in the JM8 euro ROM, (Tayutama's base for his ROM) that the JH7 OTA based Cognition ROM doesn't. Maybe updated codecs? Everything I have thrown at this ROM (media-wise) plays great! Here's the media specs on the file I was playing:
