[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurplop:
I'll start at the top. I have a Vibrant. I rooted it with one click lag fix and than tried clock work. I tried to partition my phone using that, but by doing so, I created a bad bootloop. The phone would go through the booting very slowly and than hang on a black screen with 4 lights (settings, home, back, and search) on.

I have tried Odin and it has not worked. I believe the reason is not because I'm doing it wrong, but because of this clock work partitioning that was done with rom manager.

When I use odin to go back to the stock vibrant, it works, but than sends me into the recovery screen which than I get this message.

" -- Movi_check Start..!!

That's my recovery message. I believe it is like that do to the clockwork partition. I believe If I fix that, I can use Odin. I have also tried using Odin in the "re-partition" check box, but it didn't work still.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazz35:
Yea, I have the same issue, though I can odin. I use odin and it reboots fine, but I keep getting that error on the recovery.

Is there a way to odin/flash a stock recovery, since I am getting this checksum error? I know I used to be able to do that on the behold II.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazz35:
Anyone? No one knows if you can odin a stock recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulcahyd:
Hey everyone. I am on stock 2.1 rooted - samsung vibrant. I also have that same message. My phone is working normally. But just annoys me that message. There has to be a way to clear that. On the other hand, I flashed a custom froyo rom previously and that message goes away but one bad note is that you cannot flash another rom through clockwork instead you have to odin back to stock rom. Same error message as above.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Yes you can use odin to go back to stock rom, if that is what you are asking, Look at the binoix rom release the OP has posted links on how to go back to stock and also update the phone to the new JI6 using ODIN. Bionix info is in development section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sknobs:
Same issue here. The error goes away if I flash the Froyo that does not brick.

But it comes right back when I go back to stock. Anyone have a fix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilaf0106:
nobody kno how to fix this??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakesetter:
anybody find a fix for this. I have same problem and my phone is just constant boot loop with all hardkeys constantly lit up. Have tried forcing restore with ADB, deleting all user data, cache data etc and cant get phone to restore or boot up to original or anything. Please help!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
in the same boat with everyone here, going to try to update to 2.2 to see what happens
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,

Temporary Solution...

Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone so I can at least have a phone, and be able to use data/talk BUT..... I can download anything!! Both sd cards are apparently full, try to go back to stock rom but no luck just the same issue with the MD5 Sum. Any way around the md5 sum????
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Solutions??? Ideas???

Is there anything you can do in eugene froyo no brick ?

Push something into sd card , flash rom manager through ADB, flash custom rom through adb? put a different PDA in Odin.

I dont care about going back to stock I just want a working rom!!! and be able to download apps, and start flashing roms....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chulew:
bump

I can access external SD. How can I install Rom Manager to external SD. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a MOUNT FIX in RM? Would this fix the internal SD so that a normal Odin load would work again?

Otherwise, maybe we can fix the internal SD with Ubuntu but need to know what format/specs to use.

5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.

Can someone tell me where I find this file, lol I just cant find it.

8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.

I cant find these files either, I also did step 4 without deleting the guava.odex file, once I find out where the files are should I just start over or what. I know this is probably a stupid question but Im lost and I have searched for the answer everywhere before asking.
[Droid X General] dr154:
1. It's located in the same folder you ran the "Main" application from, once you finished option 3, locate "origi_frame" folder and navigate to "guava.odex" file to delete it, its right between framework-tests file and ime file.

2. The "done_app" & "done_frame" is located in the same location as the "Main" application.
[Droid X General] chris6551:
These done_app and done_frame is simply not in the xultimate zip anywhere, I have been looking for them for like 6 hrs now can someone please please help me Im loosing my mind because everyone seems to find them without issue and they are just not in there. I have the 2.2.2 version too. so please please help me.

i just installed unrevoked 3.21 on my phone and now.

im trying to update it to unrevoked forever. but its not reading the .zip file.

i have no idea's on to make it work.

i changed the zip name to update but still no progress.

i even unzipped the files and put it in.

what should i do?

any suggestions?

does it even still work or unrevoked 3.21 not need forever anymore?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Are you saying that you're trying to use Forever with the Reflash tool? In order to install forever, you just put it on your SD Card and flash it through Recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortbushemi:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
Right, 3.21 is just a tool to run unrEVOked forever (the only way to turn s-off on the incredible) for devices running froyo. At least that's how I understand it :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:

turn the phone off. hold vol- down and push the power button, hold both till the white hboot screen comes on. it will say on the top line s-off or s-on that's how u know if it worked. now. wait for the screen to give you menu control, it'll take about 10 seconds or so. use the volume keys to navigate to recovery. hit the power button it'll boot you into recovery. scroll down to backup and restore click the trackpad (that's how you select in recovery) then select backup it'll perform a nandroid backup
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
Wow. That was such a big help. We thank you. I don't have a trackball but i'll try. I'll let you know if I go anywhere problems.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaguox:
The "trackball" is the optical thumbpad and can actually be depressed to select things. It is what CWM uses as the option selector instead of the power button, which was instead assigned to go back a menu. Vol+/- are still used for up/down selections.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
Yeah, I understand that.

Thanks.

What if recovery doesn't work for the forever.

If it's already on S-off, do not still need forever?

Hi,

I have searched from all over the web app that could change camera's exposure time. I like to take good nigh photos, or anyway as good as it's possible with mobilephone camera, but like in mine HTC Desire exposure time is way too short.

I have tried many of those camera apps from market, like camera 360, but non of them can adjust shutter speed/exposure way I wanted. Say, I want a long exposure for night photo. For example I would like input exposure value to app, so that it would expose photo for 10 seconds.

So, do anyone know app to change exposure/shutter speed?

And my Desire is not rooted and I'm currently not planning to do so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
Would love to know about this, too; any ideas for this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
Sign me up for this as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Long exposures would be great. Would need some sort of remote shutter release or time delay ideally and a mounting system, tripod fashion.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argent36:
Problem is - you'd also need a mount or tripod of some sort to hold the camera still enought to make long exposures work

I don't know about the rest of you but I can only handhold steady my DSLR down to about 1/80th of a second
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
I have managed 1/15 and 1/8 (the latter very rarely) handheld with my Pentax (image stabilisation built into body FTW), but yeah, you would have to use a tripod or to prop it up and have a timed shutter release for the phone. This isn't a problem as such, even just being able to specify the aperture would be welcome.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
Well a mount can be anything...jumper, phone leaned against a wall. Would be awesome for cityscapes and such. Anyone found anything which indicates this is possible with a software patch? New to android and just tearing through my first rom package :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
Exactly, it doesn't have to be anything serious, just lean it against a beer for example.

I can't see a reason why you couldn't manually control everything, I can control ISO, metering, etc on my SGS, adding aperture and shutter shouldn't be outside the realm of possibility.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
Had a look around as a noob to Android dev/roms etc. and I don't think it's possible to control the hardware to that level :/

Would love to be corrected on this, though!

I can handhold my Leica down to 1/15. You need more practice (a lot of it).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primatage:
Not to be too big a jerk here, but if you can only hand-hold an SLR steady, any SLR, at 1/80 or faster then I'm sorry to say that you may have a serious case of parkinson's, or are the most ADHD person who ever picked up a camera.

1/60 is recognized as the speed at which regular hand-held motion is mitigated, and unless you're actively moving the camera (or standing on top of a paint-mixer), you will not get camera-shake at that speed. Most photographers are able to hand-hold, and get a shake-free shot, down to about 1/8 on a good day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
What was the rest of the code? and did you try this on actual hardware or the emulator?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flokey:
I will try to code an app for that. Plus FFC Support...

but you'll have to wait until I'm back from Japan

EDIT: It's not possible to really influence the shutter-speed or the aperture, because it is non-existent in the hardware, but there can be an interpolation of both values that are calculated from ISO settings and exposure calculation. It won't be perfect in any way, but it might be possible to do something similar... probably it is possible to gain more control via the ndk or by "cheating".

Does anyone knows if there is such a program?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
I don't think a long shutter on todays camera phones would be useful as the sensor noise would be crazy bad.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robifis:
Fv-5 camera in the market. Try that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmorf:
Shutter speed not useful

Not sure I agree with that statement EP. It is short short shutter speeds in low light in particular that will usually create a lot of noise. There just isn't enough enough time to allow enough photons to reach the sensor with a fast shutter speed. A slow shutter speed is needed to allow a sufficient number of photons to reach the sensor, and thus create a higher resolution. All we have to work with currently is an adjustment of the sensitivity of the sensor (iso) to compensate for a fast shutter speed. While the increased iso allows a decent exposure, the higher sensitivity allows stray photons to register in the photo. These stray photons are what cause noise. With a slow shutter speed we wouldn't need to compensate with a high iso because we actually have enough light reaching the sensor.

I agree that there could be some less than perfect photos taken with long exposures with camera phone sensors, but I can't see them being as bad as photos taken with iso settings that are too high.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
High iso absolutely creates image noise, but so do long exposures, only a different type of noise.

Exposure times

Any news on this? I tried ShotControl and FV-5 on my HTC One, but the longest exposure times I got were 1/8s@ISO125 and 1/3s@ISO800, which is still pretty short.

I think you could really take beautiful night shots with the One's camera, if only we could manually control shutter speed and ISO.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taqri85:
Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. There is no pre determined shutter speed for avoiding camera shake. You say 1/60 is safe. Have you ever handheld a dslr with a 400mm lens mounted and tried shooting at 1/60? No i don't think you have because its not possible. To eliminate camera shake there is only one formula and that is your shutter speed must be 1/focal length. Don't post about things you don't know about.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben749:
Yep, but still, taking multiple samples at 10 sec per example allows to run some arithmetical to correct the noise of the camera.

I'm willing, myself to override my android camera settings to try doing "astrophotograph by interpollation" with my phone

Even if my phone has to take over 100 pictures of 10sec each I think it's fairly possible :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i9100g user:

Even though it may not stick to the iso setting but still it is pretty good couldn't have had imagined of a fast shutter speed (irrespective of the camera application) on my old s3

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
As I continue to "move-in" to my EVO, I'm porting over the various mods that I made for my Hero that I miss, and the mod referenced here is one of them. It is a small change that simply changes the stock opaque black background on the app drawer / shortcuts screen to a semi-transparent background instead, allowing your home screen wallpaper to show through.

You may or may not have a need for it, but since I re-created it for my EVO, I figured I'd share.

There are 2 MetaMorph's linked below. Since the hex edits I made are to the same file for another small mod I posted for removing the text from the home screen icons, one version applies the app drawer partial transparency only, while the other applies BOTH the app drawer transparency AND removes the icon text on the home screen.

Reference:

Apply App Drawer Partial Transparency <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application

Apply App Drawer Partial Transparency & Remove Icon Text on Home Screen <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph

Note: When modifying Rosie.apk with MetaMorph any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.

Also, for some reason on the EVO, Rosie does not appear to like to be edited via MetaMorph, and as such, after applying the MetaMorph, you phone may freeze, requiring a battery pull or issuing a reboot via adb. All will have applied fine after reboot.

The above linked mods apply a transparency with "gray" as the starting point background color. If you prefer black as the partial transparency, see Here for black WITHOUT icon text, or see Here for black WITH icon text.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xxbabiboi228xx:
@jschisurf

So is there any way to just change the background like the wallpaper of choice without metamorph.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The wallpaper that shows through when applying this is the wallpaper you are using on your phone already.

If for whatever reason you don't want to run MetaMorph, you can download the zip and manually pull the file and insert into your Rosie.apk in the same position.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xxbabiboi228xx:
K thanks for the info
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xxbabiboi228xx:
@JsChiSurf

ok it worked like you said not using metamorph.Its see threw but kinda white looking is there anyway to make it clearer.I took the resource.arse and replaced the other on in the rosie.apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
You can hex edit the values I changed in the resources.arsc file. There are 2 instances, currently set to a value of:

1C BA BA BB 7F

The last value being the level of transparency: 7F

Which is essentially 50% transparency, i.e. 255/7=127 converted to hex=7F.

So, you can increase the transparency by modifying this hex value, and change the "base" color by modifying the remaining value from right to left.

If you go too transparent, it is difficult to discern what in on the screen versus behind it, which wouldn't be good.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xxbabiboi228xx:
So your saying the more % you make it the less you will be able to see the background correct ?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
That is correct.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
would you happen to know if this hex edit will also work on the app drawer for launcherpro+?

i'm going to give it a try when I get home tonight...

what would be the hex code for making it 25% transparent grey?

I'm so new to the EVO that I'm still trying to figure out what has / has not been done yet, at least from similar / favorite mods many of us former Hero owners had.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
65% Black = 166 = A6, so 1C 00 00 00 A6
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
1C in the hex code gets you essentially to the "#" for the hex value.

You should be able to change to:

1C 00 00 00 A6

To get close to what you are looking for, with the '00 00 00' being full on black, at the transparency level you want 'A6'.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Yeah, I need to go less than 65% on the black with my wallpaper LOL.
