[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Hephistocles:
Not gon' work

You won't find Adobe Air in the app market on your Hero, for the same reasons as Flash 10.1 doesn't work on Hero - they're both compiled for ARM7 processors, but the Hero only has an ARM6 processor. As such, you're not going to get the app market version of Adobe Air to even install on a Hero running any version of Android.

The apk version of Adobe Air that is linked above originally came from the Adobe Air pre-release pack, which was compiled for ARM6, so that one will install. It won't do you any good though. I've just tried running FlxTeroids and Gravity Lander from the app market, which both require Adobe Air, and neither of them launched after installation - they stopped after a black screen. So although you can install the version linked above, it's not going to do you any good, because all the apps which require Adobe Air actually require the latest, ARM7 version of Adobe Air, which you can't install on Android.

Please, do go and file a request for ARM6 compatibility though with Adobe. They might be swayed, but the result won't be so good as on an ARM7 device.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
Has anyone else experienced their cursor randomly moving around while trying to type or pages scrolling while they're trying to read? My G2 has been doing this fairly frequently and I can send it back but I'm somewhat afraid to since mine does not have the hinge issue and (so far) has pretty damn good battery life. I don't want to just swap one problem for two more :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] randalla0622:
It happened to me once, but I have yet to see it happen again. Strange though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
Mine is rediculous. Can hardly type. I also don't have the hinge problem, but the trackpad is all over the place.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dalamak:
my screen with wake up sometimes for no reason, it seems there may be a bug with the the Sense, cause it hangs up on calls all the time, and makes selections
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
You have the Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Mine does the same thing with the cursor. Makes it very difficult to type a lot of the time. The only thing I can think of is maybe it's a lighting condition... maybe light reflects on the trackpad a certain way that makes it think your finger has moved over it.

I hope there's a way to fix it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonnybueno:
Im curious, are you folks charging when youre having these issues? i had the problem temporarily when i first got the phone so i unplugged the usb cable and havent had it since.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scotolsen:
no mystery here guys. it's changing light conditions that are affecting the optical pad. it's the same notion as an optical mouse, if the light doesn't reflect back right it can go all over the place. try finding someplace with a strong overhead light and angling the g2 back and forth and you'll see it activate the pad. that's how it works, light not touch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brian.dore:
Had the same problem, only when charging tho.
[G2 and Desire Z General] swhtownboy:
I think you are correct...the desk at work has spot where light can come through...when I have my phone laying flat the screen starts to go crazy!!, I was like wtf. It ONLY does it in this spot,no where else...I guess that explains everything
[G2 and Desire Z General] elusivebyte:
Yes, I'm definitely having this issue. I started a thread a while ago about it. I took a video of it happening, too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799435

I have track lighting in my apartment, and that's what I think is triggering it. Mine's not as bad as the rest of yours seem to be. It very rarely "goes all over the place" for me. It just highlights random buttons once in a while. I can see how if it activates during typing that it would be a huge pain in the ass.

Stupid optical trackpad... was was wrong with a track ball? I never had a problem with my G1's trackball. Doesn't HTC test these things?
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Yup, that explains it. That was my suspicion. Especially since when using Swype (where my hand covers light going to the trackpad) it never does it. It's never been while charging, though - not specifically, at least.

Try holding it towards a light and wave it around. You'll see the cursor jump around. Makes sense. Kind of annoying, but at least it's not a defect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
I actually had to stop using swype because it would happen EVERY time I tried to write in portrait mode
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Strange, but it could just be the difference of how we hold our hands or something to that effect. I think the lighting thing does explain it, though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
That was my thought as well, T-Mobile should include a "how to hold" guide in the box :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] hectorinwa:
This happens to me whenever I try to use the phone when I'm sitting on the couch with my back to the window. Only place it happens.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arich:
Called T-Mobile a few days ago about this and the hinge issue and they immediately issued me a replacement. Probably won't be any better but worth a try right? And if it keeps giving me problems then I'll keep exchanging it until the Nexus Two comes out lol
[Vibrant General] yungballla6:
I have a vibrant and recently got a 3.5 km to RCA out and I'm having problems displaying vibrant on TV. I've tried all combinations but nothings working. Any suggestions.
[Vibrant General] Jaimizzle:
-make sure the 3.5mm plug is all the way down on your phone

-swap the yellow and red on your tv side

-this might sound dumb but make sure your on the correct input on your tv set...

Can't think of anything else...make sure you click on tv out on your phone
[Vibrant General] m509272:
You have the 3 RCA out wire not just a single RCA out, correct?

As mentioned above yellow is not the video, it's red.

You have made the appropriate change in Settings to enable TV Out?
[Vibrant General] Allen K:
It's also possible that your cable is simply not compatible, unless of course you bought one that was tested already by someone here. Not all of them work, for some reason.
[Vibrant General] yungballla6:
yah I did everything. I thought it might be the Tom I was running. I made sure I did everything. Bit it might just not be compatible
[Vibrant General] m509272:
FYI there's a Nokia cable out there that has the correct colors. You can find it on eBay. CA-75u I believe.
[Vibrant General] nighttrain_581:
CHANGE

change the colors..instead of yellow yellow..red to yellow yellow to red..good luck
[Vibrant General] aksoutherland:
I have a 3.5mm to RCA cable that I bought for my Creative Zen X-Fi2 and it works great for the video out on the Vibrant. Monoprice.com has them for a reasonable price.
[Vibrant General] DmdFreak:
Just making sure you didn't miss this step. You have to go into settings/Sound & Display/TV Out

You then have to check the TV Out box. This resets every time you reboot the phone so you have to continue changing each time you need it.
[Vibrant General] Alperon:
Nokia CA-75U

I just got my CA-75U cable in the mail and no matter what I try, I can't get it to work with my Samsung Vibrant.

With all the colors plugged in correctly and music playing, I can hear it on the TV speakers, unplugging white cuts half the sound, unplugging red cuts the other half out.

The strange part is that all I get is one large white zigzagging line halfway down my screen, the REALLY strange part is that it gives me that line no matter which color is plugged into the yellow port!

The TV is on the correct input.. TV Out is indeed enabled.

I have no idea what else to try, could it possibly be the ROM I'm running?

I've got Nero V3 on my Vibrant along with Voodoo enabled.

Any ideas are much appreciated!
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
I know this may seem obvious but... you have the TV out set to NTSC, right?
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
Having the exact same problem. Any help would be great.

Just for reference, is this the correct cable? In the comments section some random guy said it worked great on his vibrant so I went with it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1D0BW/ref=oss_product
[Vibrant General] m509272:
That's why I posted about the CA-75U earlier in the thread. Someone, not on Amazon, said it worked fine too.

Are you perhaps trying to play Avatar? That won't work. It's got DRM.

Well if you were thinking of upgrading to Nero V5 or soon to be V6 you might want to flash back to stock and see if that works.

I have Nero 5 and plugged my non-Nokia cable in, red as video and it's working
[Vibrant General] richtertrevor78:
For the tv out. I am using a wire set that came with my old motorola zine. You could call tmo and find out where to get a replacement for that phone.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
NTSC is used for US made or made FOR US TVs

PAL is for european. not going into details but the difference deals with FPS and power output.

it just sucks how bad tv out looks on my hdtv...i wish there was an option to do it thru hdmi besides buying a video converter box.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
frames per second (which is directly related to power output) and resolution are different for PAL tv sets
[HD2 General] niroz911:
Hi

I'm afraid to BRICK my HD2 like i did to my other one

how can i know what ROM is the right version for my T-mobile US?

what do i need to check before i install?

what parameters in the build of the ROM'S i need to pay attention to?

plz help me use my HD2 the right way this time

THX...
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
read the stickies...........

then read them again.............

then read everything else...............twice......

all the info you need to prevent a brick should be on the first page of the rom thread

dont flash a .51. radio........ that will brick a tmous

you might be best to start your reading in the tmous section......

best advice ive ever seen on xda.......

"read evrything......... even if you dont understand it" - samsamuel

hope that helps.......:D
[HD2 General] Texas01:
I have a T-Mobile (TMOUS) USA myself. If you haven't already, install HSPL3 1st (fairly simple instructions in the "how to flash everything" thread. If you want to try a new radio, I would do that next. Yes, only .50 radios, NO .51 radios.

I have the newest 2.15 radio, and it works well, had 2.14 also. Both work much better for me than the 2.10 that came with the phone.

I use "Energy Rom", but I am sure others are on par with it. There are some that will not work for us, but they do note that in their thread. Good luck. For me, having a custom rom and radio made all the difference.
[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
read EVERYTHING about the ROMS and make sure you are flashing one that is compatible with TMOUS.

as stated in a previous post, make sure you flash a radio with .50 and NOT .51 or you will brick your phone.

from what I have read on many posts here, if you install 2.08 HSPL then you cannot brick your phone but im not sure.

i flashed the 2.08 HSPL on my TMOUS HD2 and running elegancia V5 rom with no problems.

you can always flash back to the stock SPL if you need to return your phone to TMO.

Got it from Italy. It is being sold there right now. I can refer you to an eBay seller who ships internationally if you like (via pm only)
[Galaxy Tab General] robinkiefer:
I'm confused. Where is the info to root the Tab and my Captivate with the one click method. I don't see any instructions, links, etc. Did I miss something? Please pardon my ignorance. I'm new to Droid. Ditched my iPhone. Yay!!
[Galaxy Tab General] DOMin8or:
not working for me

it seems, the one click root will work, but it does NOT.

superuser app is installed by oneclick windows exe, but if i start titanium backup, it asks for super user rights, but the super user app shows an error message.

"NO ROOT RIGHTS! sorry"

i got my samsung galaxy pad yesterday in milano/italia with stock rom.

useful hints?
[Galaxy Tab General] DOMin8or:
Universal androot will not work, too.
[Galaxy Tab General] DOMin8or:
Correction!

Titanium now works and is green listed in superuser app.(I HAVE INSTALLED THE BUSYBOX INSIDE TITANIUM :))
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
The root method works.

You might need to try more than once, but it works.
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Great work guys.

Once the Tab hits general release it might be worth re-posting the root method in it entirety in here, so that there we can keep Tab related root discussion in this forum rather than cluttering the Captivate one.
[Galaxy Tab General] defe:
could you pm me the info?
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
working great here.... Thank you very much
[Galaxy Tab General] darkodarko:
I try with SuperOneClick v1.4, but non function.

The program say, after recognize the device that it's routed, but it's not true, is impossible to install busybox
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
install titanium backup, open it, give permissions, click on problems and it will download the busybox....... simple :)

Hi, I got today my Galaxy Tab and tried "One click root", but failed.

I found that when I connected to PC, my "USB debugging" is disabled.

Anyone has any idea? pls

HTC Hero,

Galaxy Tab

Mikhail
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
disconnect it from the PC and then enable the debugging mode and connect it to PC :D
[Galaxy Tab General] Khisha:
Did it. I think that you have to install Samsung Kies first, to be able to recognize the Tab correctly for exploit to run.

For me this solved the situation.
[Galaxy Tab General] darkodarko:
I tryed, but titanium backup say that don't have the root privilage to install busybox.

The problem is that SuperOneClick v1.4 say that the device is rooted immediatly after the device connect.

I don't understand why
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
did you by any chance rooted the tab , unrooted it with superoneclick and trying to root again ?

compare with iphone 4 jailbreak, is this one click root working? today just get my galaxy tab, for the root still very new for me, hope it works.

downloading samsung kies now, because the one click root stuck at searching my device.
[Galaxy Tab General] cmstlist:
Just on a lark, has anyone tried the VISIONary root app? I think it uses the rageagainstthecage method but encapsulated into an on-device app.
[Galaxy Tab General] zmodp:
looks like rage isnt installing su app. (since when you try to rm it says no such file exists)

try running rage, then donwload superuser in the market place.

search for "chainsdd"

install, then go into titanium and try the busybox again.

it should prompt you to allow su request.

before rooting any device, i always install the following form the market place:

titanium (to get busybox)

root explorer (to change rw/ro status)

rom manager (to DL recovery and onetouch rebootrecovery)

then i go through the root method.

in your case, you may want to add superuser as well.

hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Aah the perils of not using the search function.

The superuser one click method is quick and flawless. And its described in a much newer thread.
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:

[Galaxy Tab General] cmstlist:
I just wanted to add that now the VISIONary on-device one-click app has been shown to work for Droid X and Nexus One running 2.2.1, two devices that it entirely was not written for. So if anyone wants to test it out on the Galaxy Tab too, feel free to report your results :)

[Touch Cruise General] tardcutt:
I got a problem with my polaris...

I was trying to go back to Windows Mobile after booting android from NAND...

And because of I could flash stock ROM on my phone, I'm trying to perform task29 with radio as a NBH file...

Everything seems to work fine after that,, stock ROM flashed without problem and all...

Then when i got to align screen,, and I cannot calibrate my polaris...:mad:

Touch screen input is definitely there since the screen's light come out when I tap my screen,, but the marker stays there in the middle of the screen... It wont even move like it suppose to be no matter i tap it... I tried with different ROM and radio,, even try with android again and all happens to be the same...

In android actually the calibration goes way to left side... So no matter where i tap it, it reads as I tap at the most left...

Can anyone help me with this??
[Touch Cruise General] tardcutt:
good news

Well, after trying to boot android again, and let it standby for hours, the calibration suddenly works again... I tried it again in WinMo and everything works fine... All good now.. :)

So just never mind this threat at all...

Thanks
[Desire General] ilya.glants:
I mean, what will I lose if I choose to use a rom without sense?

Do I get less battery drain?
[Desire General] UpSpin:
you'll lose:

Sense Launcher, Sense Widgets - this can be fully replaced by Launcher Plus Pro, or, if you don't like the look of Sense Widgets by ADW.Launcher

Sense programs, like mail, calendar, ...

FM Radio

HTC Sync - you won't be able to sync your Desire calendar with Outlook directly any longer. You'll have to buy third party software to do this via the Google cloud or you use an Exchange Server.

Because the HTC Froyo source got released now, as it seems, you'll also be able to undervolt Sense ROMs now.

However, non Sense ROMs are lighter, more customized and contain some essential features which I miss on Sense ROMs: Bluetooth HID support.
[Desire General] Joshhudsy:
Why get rid of sense?, its amazing!!!
[Desire General] AndroHero:
you will also loose htc dialer and htc contacts
[Desire General] ste1164:

Sense is the reason desire is the best smart phone! I would not dream having a smartphone without it...
[Desire General] ilya.glants:
Sense is very nice but I see that there are many roms that don't contain it. So, I was wondering if it realy is neasecery, or what is better in a non-sense rom, and if a non-sense rom is less hungry for battery
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I have two Desires - one has a Sense ROM and the other is running CyanogenMod. There are one or two small things I prefer about the CyanogenMod ROM, but a great deal more I prefer about Sense, but there are others on this forum who will tell you the opposite, and be equally correct because it is just an opinion.

One thing I will say though is that you will often hear that non-Sense ROMs are "faster" than Sense ROMs. In my experience, if there is a speed difference, you can only really tell in benchmarks - in general use I feel my Sense phone is every bit as fast as my CyanogenMod phone. The same is true on battery life - both seem to sip about the same amount of power.

I don't think there is any real alternative other than trying out a non-Sense ROM for yourself and making your own choice.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Nutsonfire:
You can undervolt Sense roms of course. Also now with S-Off you can remove the Sense apps you dont need easily from the phone.

After playing with a non-Sense rom I am back to a Sense one mainly because I cold not live with the battery drain and I can now customize the Sense apps.

On Alex 1.7 and with light use I can almost go 3 days on a battery... with a non-Sense rom I could barely make 24-36h (wipe before flash and few apps installed, no sync), so it's clear in my case which rom type drains more battery.

Also this Alex 1.7 Sense rom is smooth as silk and I never get any apps or the whole phone crashing (daily occurence in aosp rom for many people?).

Aosp roms are great if you like messing around with your phone all the time, but you cant get away with the fact that Sense roms just work.

Respect to all the rom makers Sense or non.Sense.
[Desire General] ilya.glants:
Thanks for all the responses, you helped a lot =]
[Desire General] UpSpin:
Mhh, something wasn't working properly then. With very light use I can also get 3 days battery life.

Else it's difficult to compare, because it heavily depends on how you use the phone. Playing around, surfing, ... drastically reduces battery life.

However, at the moment I use DeFroST 5.0 with HAVS kernel and the battery life looks perfect to me.

Should be fixed now. AOSP roms had a few issues, but at it seems as if they're ironed out.

Somehow true, sometimes, but sense roms also have bugs often, and a not working revision, which gets fixed in the next release.

So if you want a stable ROM use the stock. If you want some customization, use a custom sense rom. If you don't use sense features, replaced it with other apps/widgets/tools, and need some AOSP rom features, then get an AOSP rom.
[Desire General] SupremeBeaver:
i dont have a Desire atm, but i plan on getting one soon (or possibly the DHD). I like sense, especially the new one which allows you to theme it. But something i've noticed with sense compared to stock is that HTC have removed a lot of animations. Like when opening an app or closing it. It instantly opens or closes with no animation. Stock android has a sort of zoom in zoom out animations.

From what i understand, HTC have set the options to "Some animations" in the settings by default. Could someone here go into Settings, Sound and Display, Animations, and set it to All Animations and report here if they see any changes?
[Desire General] chris2busy:
htc contacts, gallery , dialer , camera and video , radio, weather ,friendstream are light years and galaxies far away from the aosp android ones...
