[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
The Absent-Minded Professor and I just installed adb on Ubuntu; here is how to set up adb on Ubuntu Linux, Gutsy through Maverick.

Our port of the BX theme to CM6 stable is forthcoming.

first command after installing and updating sdk and extracting the tgz file to your home directory is== sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules

NOTE: In the above file replace ## with the number 50 if you are running Gusty/Hardy/Dapper (50-android.rules) or with the number 70 if you are running Karmic Koala/Lucid Lynx(70-android.rules

after the window pops write this in the file==SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″, MODE=”0666″ then save and close

the follwing commands is== sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules

Then reboot.

Open a terminal and type== sudo gedit .bashrc

The file contents should be as follows== export PATH=${PATH}:~/home/user/android-sdk-linux_86/tools

Save and close.

Run the command== adb devices

If you see a serial number like this:

List of devices attached

HT99PHF02521 device

then you are done.

If you get error messages such as "no such command," cd to /home/user/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools and use the adb commands in this way:

./adb devices

./adb shell

etc.

If you get an error message here referencing insufficient device permissions, do the following:

./adb kill-server

sudo ./adb start-server

Now ./adb devices should work.

[Wildfire General] ogreen10:
Hello everybody!

I have a problem with my wildfire's camera. When i take a photo, the photo is all blurry as on wildfire's screen as on computer. Picture looks like you would take it under water. And no effect is turned on. Can anyone help me please and tell me why is that and what can i do.

Thanks!
[Wildfire General] d3f:
Hello,

I have the same problem with my Wildfire. Autofocus is working but only in small distances. Now the phone is in garantee service. I think that the problem is hardware, bad series.

L.H.
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Yeah the wildfire camera is always like this blur.. not a good camera after all..
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Camera is fine, barely use it
[Wildfire General] Deleted member 2496007:
Sometimes the camera lens cover on HTC phones becomes cloudy. Try removing your battery cover and taking a picture with it off. If the pictures becomes clear you have the cause off the problem.

You can then either order a new back cover (HTC will say it's damage on your part and refuse too send one for free! Cheek) or do what I did and carefully pop the offending lens cover out with a match stick.

Some people have also had success using screen scratch remover on it if you don't like the idea of having your actual camera lens exposed.
[Wildfire General] umbro123:
the back cover does not cover the camera, it has a hole where the camera goes.
[Wildfire General] anakhanjing:
mine working fine. I don't expect more from low end phone+without carl zeiss. I use camera 360 to take picture. its better than the stock camera
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
What's camera 360?
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
there seems to be some sort of coating on lens cover, if you look closely it appears to be an oily colour, i simply polished with a silver polishing cloth ( silvo infused) and about 20 seconds of gentle polishing removed coating so now my lens is crystal clear. hope this helps
[Wildfire General] melvinchng:
My picture quality quite good.
[Wildfire General] tdad:
Camera 360

Have you guys tried Camera 360 on Wildfire?

It's not on the market so I got an internet apk and it crashes all the time instead of opening. Is it my version that is wrong or is it the app?

[Edit]Answer to myself and the others, I was on build 0.9.74, now that I found the 0.9.76 it works like a charm \o/

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Straynart:
Hi guys !

Something bothering me with the email tab & the mail client.

When I receive a mail which is in a language with special characters [vietnamese's fonts], the email tab displays it nicely and with all special characters, but in the email client, the characters are all gone [replace by a □], and the mail is "unreadable".

Is there someone who does know why the fonts are not the same ? Or if someone does know how to change that ?

I suppose this font is already in the phone, so I don't need to find it and install it on the phone, but I don't know how to make it usable.

Thanks for the reply.

Excuse my english, you know, I'm french. ^^'
[Desire General] McDz:
Is there any way to do this?

Hate when notifications and sms have the same sound.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Go into settings in the SMS app, you can change it there...

[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
No.. when it happens you will definitely hear about it.
[HD2 Accessories] match417:
hey guys, I have noticed since I've been running android, that about once a week my phone battery cover gets a little hot. At first I was taking the battery cover off, then I noticed what looks like the same heat-transferring tape that I see inside of laptops and DVD players to transfer the heat to the battery cover. I guess the battery cover acts as a kindof heatsink to keep the battery cool. So when I started looking into the Pdair or Monaco cases, I noticed both of them had neoprene inner linings and that made me think about how my phone battery could potentially overheat and lower the lifespan of it while insulated inside the neoprene/metal case. I thought about getting some thin heat-transferring tape and putting it between the battery cover and case by cutting out a small section of neoprene. Before I go to all of that trouble, I want to know if someone has had a problem with the battery burning out while inside the metal case
[HD2 Accessories] HD2_Froyo:
My hd2 does the same thing, while running android the battery seems to overheat but does not seam to affect the phone or battery.

[Android Software Development] Poodlemastah:
How is the bmp supposed to be configured?
[Android Software Development] danward:
BMP should be configured how ever you like. The program converts it from whatever configuration you saved it as. I personally use:

"File format: Windows"

"Depth: 24bit"
[Android Software Development] Alex-V:
Wow...interesting...sounds good :)

Thanks..with kind regards..Alex
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
so now we can use our own boot pics right?
[Android Software Development] AndroHero:
dosent work for me, just sits at waiting for device :confused:
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
hmm tried it with an .jpg

saved and renamed it as written to splash1.bmp but it didnt worked.

i have got the android now on a skateboard as bootscreen.

weird haha
[Android Software Development] Poodlemastah:
you have to save the image as bmp, not jpg.
[Android Software Development] philJ:
Cool, one minute before s-off and there is a thread to change the first boot screen ... will try it now ... black boot screen = save batt :-)

WHAT RESOLUTION IS NEEDED? 800x480 or 392x65?
[Android Software Development] danward:
Yep, it does. I've got my own :P.

Have you connected your phone in fastboot mode?

Yeah, will help on reboots.

I'll bring out my next one which puts your device in fastboot flashes and then reboot for you soon.
[Android Software Development] AndroHero:
it says hboot in the op :confused: sorry i will try again :D
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
i saved a .jpg on my pc from the internet

opened with photoshop and saved it as an .bmp again correct?

renamed it and placed it in the folder...
[Android Software Development] danward:
I'm testing the auto reboot version now. It'll be up soon. All you gotta do is have it connected to your comp with debugging on.
[Android Software Development] philJ:
Fine ... what res is needed for the pics?
[Android Software Development] danward:
It's up. Umm, it resizes it. But optimal is 480x800.

EDIT: 480x800 is required. Sorry guys.
[Android Software Development] Jgruar:
Doesn't work for me. Created a bmp, renamed it to splash1 and ran the bat while phone was in fastboot mode.

This is essentially same as doing it via cmd using "fastboot flash splash1 *image*" ?

But im a bit confused as to what the image needs to be. Seen .nb's, nb0's, .img's and .rgb565's.
[Android Software Development] AndroHero:
when i flash it, the image looks like its 4 identical images layered ontop of eachother:confused:
[Android Software Development] mr_delphi:
it changes my splash screen to "three androids playing skateboards", but I don't even know where this image comes from.
[Android Software Development] danward:
Yeah, thats the basic thing. IMG files are what HTC use. I know they are supported. If it doesn't work, try the new one i just uploaded. I know it works on mine and a few others.

Check your BMP file. Save it again and reconvert it after. What did you use to make the BMP file?
[Android Software Development] AndroHero:
ive solved my problem, its because it dosent resize it for you, make sure the dimentions of the .bmp are 480x800 and all will be fine :D
[Android Software Development] Pajorve:
Didn't work for me with this program

After much trying and after several errors in a row, I managed to make the procedure manually!

don't know what could have occurred, but simply didn't work for me .... but I thank you for the great work!

Thank you!

:D
[Android Software Development] cgorki:
that worked, thanx

please update OT
[Android Software Development] morgan39:
Splash changed the first one without problems, thanks for sharing, excellent job.
[Android Software Development] JaymZ37:
Hello guys...

Same error as blackfox888 :(

Juste found the other version of nbimg.exe, replaced it, and new try...

This time, no error, but when i reboot the phone, the splashscreen doesn't change :(

What am I doing wrong ? I run SPLASH Flasher on Win7 x64, in XP compatibility mode... 1.3.8 version with .Net 4 installed on my computer.
[Android Software Development] danward:
I'm currently rebuilding the entire code. Shouldn't be too long.

EDIT: 1.4 UP!
[Android Software Development] Pyr0x64:
thanks,

the 1.40 version worked perfectly first time :)

no messing about with compatibility, windows 7 x64
[Android Software Development] Ronaldo_9:
Why does the OP not state if the phone needs to be booted in normal use or Fastboot. Normal HTC drivers or unrevoked drivers?

regards
[Android Software Development] afrcom15:
1.40 just freezes half way through with the massage "ADB reboot command sent"

I have to force close it through Win 7task manager:(:confused:
[Android Software Development] danward:
Do you have fastboot drivers installed?
[Android Software Development] afrcom15:
mmmmm! That helps
[Android Software Development] moneysh:
Is it working on Windows 7??

I can't do on my works,,,,,,,,

T.T
[Android Software Development] Pitzbull:
O.K. I also got the three androids on a skateboard?

That is a lot weird....

After reading more i recompressed the image with RLE compression and voila.
[Android Software Development] afrcom15:
Right after too much time spent on this it's done:D

The PDAnet drivers did it for me in the end
[Android Software Development] danward:
Lol, strange. It should only have USB Debugging with HTC and Android fastboot drivers.

Hi All

Great work

V1.4 work for me and V1.3.5 on vista :D

here's mine
[Android Software Development] Peikko:
How do I select which .bmp I want as splash? I can't find any option in the programm and placing it into the folder or "data" folder doesn't work too.

edit: sorry for that. should have read the first post better.

anyways ... thank you very mutch for that tool.
[Android Software Development] waffl:
Couldnt convert bmp to .nb/img so I just use the original nbimage.exe to convert to .np, renamed it manually to splash1.img, and then used the OP's app to push it to the phone by putting the img in the same folder as the exe and then hit file->debug.

w7/x64
[Android Software Development] roady85:
Click on Go and then you can select the .bmp you want.

Just switched to the latest version (1.50) and decided to flash a special recovery (psfMod for ps3). And it failed.

I had to move the "Android Flasher" folder to my root directory (c:\) AND to rename my recovery as "recovery.img".

Otherwise it will throw some errors... Please fix this.
[Android Software Development] z0mg.jer1Cho:
Dont work for me......

WinXp SP3, all Drivers installed, evertime I choose a splash or a bootanimation and hit "open" it tells me:

Could not find a part of the path 'Data\splash1.bmp'

same with bootanimation.

Any guess?
[Android Software Development] Kameo:
That's the error i was facing, just copy everything to c:\ and retry.

It will work.
[Android Software Development] z0mg.jer1Cho:
Did not work either, copied the Android Flasher folder to C:\ and put the splash1.bmp and bootanimation.zip to C:\Android Flasher\Data.......

Everytime I try, I'm getting the same errormessage

Ok, try to copy the file in the main app folder, and not under the Data subfolder.

The splashscreen was a succes. But the bootanimation wasn't that succesfull.

After flashing a certain bootanimation everything looks just fine, but in the end I get a cyanogen bootanimation and not the one I flashed :(

Running Defrost 5.1

Any ideas how to flash/replace the cyanogen bootscreen?

fixed it: bootanimation file was corrupted

Thanks for this :)

Do the splashscreens need to be BMP files? I see a lot of people just uploading JPG files.
[Android Software Development] potter1984:
How to use the splash flasher:

1. Extract

2. Create your image with the resolution 480x800 and 24bit depth (NOTE: 32bit/16bit images do NOT work, and all other resolutions do NOT work.

In relation to this, dose your app actually generate a desc.txt then zip? You should be albe to use any size image as its the desc.txt that depicts the resolution not the actual images :)

Nice additions to the app btw :)
[Android Software Development] remzor:
posting this after quite a few frustrating tries using 1.5.0 under windows 7 x64.

1. Installed only drivers from latest htc sync for desire

(_HTCWildfire_setup_3.0.5422.exe) *no additional drivers required*

2. Connect your phone in charge only, usb drive, hboot mode, give windows a few seconds to recognize the phone in all modes to ensure the drivers are installed correctly.

3. if you get a nbimg.exe has stopped working - you're not using a 24bit bmp image .

(I recommend using irfanview, real nice for fast image editing, it's really amazing & free!)

*I had a .png image which I saved as .bmp but didn't see that it was saved as

8bit, took the .png again, saved it as jpeg. Reopened the jpeg and saved it as .bmp, and voila got myself a 24bit BMP image as required for the program to work.

4. Extracted all 1.5.0 files to c:\Android Flasher, renamed my image to splash1.bmp

and placed the image to the same folder.

5. Connected the phone to PC using the Usb storage mode, opened the program

pressed [GO], selected the image and everything worked out great!

I did use the program in Windows XP compatibility mode but I don't think it's necessary.

At last BIG THANKS to you Danward for making an awesome tool for us noobs who

avoid using the manual way of doing this!

***SOLVED*** LeeDroid ROMs have shifted location for bootanimation. System/customize/resourse.

May I ask a question regarding manual copying of bootloader.zip.

I got one from here, copied it to /system/media it didn't work, then tried placing it in /data/local nothing happens. In /data/data nothing again.

Where's the catch? :) I also haven't found there any traces of the current bootanimation.zip.

I'm running LeeDroid's 2.2a ROM.
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
how is this recovery thingy supposed to work?

can I flash a new recovery via this tool or what the heck?
[Android Software Development] annewbie:

[Android Software Development] McDerek:
Android Flasher works great mate /no1

As LeeDroid ROMs have shifted location for bootanimation to system/customize/resourse is there any plan to incoprate this into Android Flasher or a way for us to change the dir ? (if there is a way to change it now I'm just to much of a noob to see it)
