I'm a photographer and I can tell you that the values were way off.

The light sensor of the droid/milestone got like just 5 or 6 step, from 10 lumen to 3500 or so.

A better approaqch would be taking a photo with macro focus, no flash and fixed exposure, then you could extrapolate the median luminance from the B/W of the photo, and also the color temperature (and that wold be a killer app) form the rgb part.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tomfreay:
I agree, that would be a much better way of doing things, and my original idea. However the Android API does not allow it, I'm looking for a way of doing it, but until then the light sensor is the best bet.

Given your a photographer could you help me get it at least in the right ballpark so to speak?

Thanks

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Azhad:
Suer you can't? I've seen an app that use le camera in this way to calculate your bloodrate by extrapolating the change caused by the blood in the luminance of the finger pressed on the lens.

Sure I can help, is what this forum is for :)

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] christopherius:
I can ask my friend if he would like to test this app. As a photographer he would surely find it useful
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tomfreay:
Found the app you mean, Instant Heart Rate, very cool app!

As far as I can tell though, it doesn't directly control the camera, just starts a preview and does some processing to work out luminescence. Might be possible to do similar to get the colour temperature. Lock the WB and work it out, ill have a look into this.

However it doesn't help for the light level. If you have any ideas then the help is very welcome!

As far as I understand mobile phone cameras have fixed apertures, so if the fixed aperture could be found, and the shutter speed used to take photo found, then it could be worked out from that. However shutter speed (or ISO for that matter) are not stored in the exif of photos on android.

Hello,

my gf own a sgs, i updated it to froyo but she was pissed off because she loosed her favorite live wallpaper => water (the one with mappleleafs)

is there a way to integrate this live wallpaper into froyo ?

I aslo used mybackuppro to backup her data, but unfortunatly it doesn't backup ALL data

for example the positions of the icons on wallpaper and the memos, maybe more stuff

what backup tool do you use to prevent loosing data on update ?

because once i'm connected nothing shows up in "My Computer"...
[Android Apps and Games] lagu805:
i think u got it wrong..

run the app on your android mobile.

it will show you the port you have to connect to

then on your computer, navigate to your android/tools/ folder (via cmd)

type adb bla bla exactly written on your mobile

hope if helps :)
[Android Apps and Games] tracerit:
i did all that. that's how i connected to my phone.

so with adbwireless, i can only transfer files through adb commands and not drag and drop?
[Android Apps and Games] slow23:
Exactly.
[Android Apps and Games] taqulic:
I have android commander installed on my computer and it will let you drag and drop.. Used with adbwireless it's pretty handy. using a simple batch file makes it a two-click operation. one on the phone, and one click on the batch file, on my desktop.
[HD2 General] phaxis:
hi i was looking for some kind of app or reg editing i could use so i can get the following actions:

-When in phone call; END BUTTON will end the call instead of LOCKING

-use END BUTTON for EXITING APPS instead of LOCKING

-REMAP the LOCKING FUNCTION to either (endkey-Long pressed) or (volumekey-Long pressed)

I know that pressing the (<--) key will allow me to leave apps and goto previous screen,

but sometimes i wish to close the app without having to use the menu/taskmanagers

im hoping theres a CAB that already performs a similar task.

Thanks

Hi all,

1.

I have created an application to test my GPS module on my device.

It works well thus far. However, I wonder if there is any possibility can enable

the GPS module without manually.

Here is the scenario, when i execute the application installed on my android

phone, if my GPS is disabled, a dialog will pop up to request the user to enable

the GPS module. Then the screen will turn into the GPS setting option, the user

needs to enable the GPS module manually.

Is there any possibility to enable the GPS module automatically when I execute

my aps on android? I was trying to google it but all reply is this behavior

involves the security issue so that there is other way to do it.:confused::confused:

2.

I have an application which can help me test the wifi connectivity.

Again, it works well. :D

However,is it possible to transfer a file or send data using something like netperf? It is valuable to test this as Tx can use more power and I want to make sure it is functioning well.

Any reply is highly expected.:D

Thanks all :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ckjboy:
Can someone please guide me a direction to go?

Any reply will be very appreciated.

Hi all

I could have a T-Mobile branded Galaxy S. Is it possible to just replace it with the original unbranded firmware from samsung?

Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rc-Blob:
In short: yes

The only thing you need to look out for is the sim-lock. Unlock your phone before you try and you should be fine. I had a 3 UK branded phone and flashed the generic firmware without any problems.

P.s. use search :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebii:
Thank you :) I used search but specificly on T-Mobile which was probably stoopid. The seller claims that it doesn't have a simlock so I think I will go for that :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisdegraw:
I'm new to this whole flashing custom ROMS business. I have a CDMA HTC Hero 2000 and I downgraded to the original 2.1 before the update just fine, rooted my phone just fine. Then I tried to flash Aloysius to it using instructions I found here: [Complete Guide] How To Flash A Custom ROM To Your Android Phone With ROM Manager + Full Backup & Restore | Android News, Reviews, Applications, Games, Phones, Devices, Tips, Mods, Videos, Podcasts - Android Police

After all was said and done, my phone starts to boot with the "HTC quitely brilliant" logo, following by "SPRINT the Now network" logo and after it shows "Now" for many seconds (as it normally does before pulling up the home screen), it reverts back to the HTC logo and repeats this process until I remove the battery.

I removed the microSD and attempted to boot, same thing. Then I held down HOME+BACK+POWER to do a manual hard reset, this took a little longer but again had the same result.

I may just cry now. Please help!! :eek:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westicle:
Run the official sprint ruu, and see what that does for u. Then read the rooting guide here on xda and try it. I personally recommend amon ra recovery to flash roms, rom manger never seemed to work right. Feel free to pm for more help, dont worry u prob arent bricked unless u flashed a gsm rom (which aloysius isn't)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
That's a bootloop not a brick :) You could try downloading a different rom and flashing it in recovery, nandroid restoring - if you made one, or flashing the same rom again. just wipe your phone before (data/cache/dalvik)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisdegraw:
Didn't get a chance to get on here until now but I fixed it last night.

I did this by going back into reboot recovery mode (by pressing HOME and POWER), going to partition settings, COMPLETELY wiping everything on the sd card, mounting the USB and dragging a new ROM .zip file onto it. (I tired this twice without completely wiping and the phone continued to have problems booting.

The flash worked fine that time and all has been well. Turns out the first one I was trying to apply to it was just an upgrade.

Thanks everyone for your help, makes perfect sense now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Four key words to remember when trying out any new rom

Nandroid is your friend!

additionally, you should always remember to wipe before loading a new rom!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidSolstice:
Yeah, don't ever panic, that was, as everyone said, a bootloop by textbook definition. I've never seen a brick before, but I'm damn sure it won't get as far as the Sprint logo. The only way to brick a CDMA Hero is to flash a GSM Radio/Bootloader to it.

[EVO 4G General] phobos512:
Very common problem, search on verizon roaming and you'll find several threads. Crapshoot on how easy it is to fix. Some sprint techs understand, but most don't and will assume your equipment is the problem. Just be persistent and it'll work out. Escalate to higher tech support and try to get the "roaming department" involved.

[HD2 General] xprav:
Hello...

I have installed BSBTweaks 1.6 on my HD2, works great...

but then i recently tried adding apps to the rotated apps, and when it soft resets, the list isnt saved. I have read that this problem existed but was fixed in version 1.6

anyone else had similar problem, please guide me through, will be a great help...

thanks

PS: i tried adding office apps (word/excel) to the rotated apps list, that is what didnt work, i didnt try any other applications...
[HD2 General] xprav:
everyone...i am tired breaking my head with this for 2 days now...please help...

everything (version wise) looks fine with V 1.6 for bsbtweaks, also have framework 3.5 installed, but dont understand why the rotation isnt working...whenever i add an application to the rotation list, bsb asks for a soft reset and the application is still missing form the list when i recheck it...

please help...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hi, just had a quick google on this subject, and although i couldnt find anything specific i came across lots of posts saying it can sometimes take a short while for the registry changes to take, and if you reset immediately they can be lost, , , the upshot being to wait ten seconds or so before doing the reset (although ive never had any problems, and never heard of this delay before, so i think it very unlikely.)

Another thought that occured was try installing "CERegistry editor", run it, connect your phone, hit connection - connect and once you can see your registry, click 'tools - unlock registry'

Not sure whether its connected, but worth a try, eh?

Plus, if all else fails, you can use cereg editor to export the rotation white list key whilst you have bsb tweaks open and have applied teh rotation tweak, but before you reset, and make a cab from it, see if it works after being applied as a cab.
[HD2 General] xprav:
Thanks Sam...

I have tried waiting for a while before doing the soft reset...

I will try to uninstall the BSB Tweaks and reinstall to see if that makes any difference...if not i will have no other option but do the regedit manually...

thanks for the help though :)..cheers...!
[HD2 General] xprav:
Solved

Finally able to identify the reason for why BSBTweaks was not letting me add apps to rotate...

I guess the soft reset offered by BSBTweaks was not allowing the registry entries to be saved...so i didnt choose that reset option and instead did a manual reset by the power button...and when the phone started back, it worked...

so just make sure that we should add apps to rotate and do a manual reset instead of BSBTweaks reset...

thanks

>> Google Translate <<

This item is for a change in Dutch because i want to ask my fellow Dutch Navigon owners for advice.

I've bought Navigon 3.5.0 in the market and I am very satisfied. Now there is just a terrible voice. Half Limbursch a half German.

Now I have nothing against Germans hear you understand, but when I want to navigate to scheveningen (soundex=SGEVENINGEN) and not (soundex=SJJJJJEEEEVENINGEN).

It really annoys me. And every time I turn it on, I feel that i listen to the Dutch of Allo Allo by Cheapo Productions.

Who can free me from this torture and has the golden, how to replace a TTS voice on my Navi. The program is Supertop and everything works very well. This is really the only downside for me .....

>> Google Translate <<

Deze post is voor de verandering een geheel in het nederlands omdat ik mijn nederlandse mede eigenaren van Navigon om raad wil vragen.

Ik heb navigon 3.5.2 gekocht in de market en ik ben er zeer tevreden over. Nu zit er alleen een verschrikkelijke stem bij. Een half limbursch en half Duitsch.

Nu heb ik niets tegen duitsers hoor begrijp me goed, maar als ik naar scheveningen navigeer wil ik naar SGEVENINGEN en niet naar SJJJJJEEEEVENINGEN.

Ik erger me echt rot aan deze stem. En iedere keer als ik hem aanzet heb ik het idee dat ik in een door de publieke omroep verkrachte nederlansche versie van Allo Allo zit.

Wie verlost mij van deze marteling en heeft de gouden tip hoe ik een andere TTS stem op mijn Navigonnetje kan krijgen. Het programma is supertop en alles werkt erg goed. Dit is echt het enige minpuntje wat mij betreft.....

Hey folks I figured I'd share my theme with everybody, since I'm still learning how to theme I figured I'd take one and mod it for my personal taste and I liked how it came out. Credit goes to gomorrah for authoring the blackmod he did the hard work I just tweaked it a little :)

I'm also adding my boot animation, boot screen and launcher pro docks and icon that i use to get the look in the preview pics. I use Beautiful Widgets and use the gt40 skin with the background cleared out and use mini skin for the weather, anyway here's what it looks like when done.

Boot Screen:

Boot Animation:

Hopefully there's some Bulls fans that will enjoy this ;)

[EDIT] I tried to install the circular battery mod which didn't work and since i didn't back up before I installed the mod I had to go back the my most recent backup and then reflash cm6 stable and reapply my theme. Well after reflashing everything it would immediately start bootlooping when i plugged it into my computer so after tinkering with the files I came to the conclusion that it was the framework-res.apk causing the bootloop so i went back copied the themed files over to a vanilla framework-res.apk 1 by 1 and deleting the excess files and reflashed it and it worked so I figured I'd put it in a rom and share that too! lol again I take no credit because someone else did the hard part I just added a few tweaks ;)
