[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
Not sure how you could call it foolish? It is widely accepted that the zune hd has a great interface. It is also very simple and would be fairly easy for an android developer to make a clone of it. The fact that no one has is pretty surprising. Hooking in drm and zunepass is obviously not gonna fly with ms but that is not what the op wants, and that is not needed. If someone made a fluid zune clone for the marketplace and sold it for a few bucks a I bet they could make a killing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
I tried putting the songs I bought on my phone and they transfered overbut they wouldn't play on the stock player or mixzing, all I want is to be able to play the music I bought on any of my media players, plus a zune like interface would be sexy
[Epic 4G Android Development] us3rX:
What do you mean they didnt play? I have the zune pass and with my ten songs a month. Those tracks are currently on my phone and they place with no problem. Videos as well. I did how ever have to use rockplayer for the videos. But the stock player worked fine for the mp3's.

Edit: I also did have to edit the tags to get them to show up... Can just edit the tags, right click the file -> props then add in whats needed. Forgot that part. =p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
Whenever I try to play one of the tracks that I bought from zune I get "Cannot open selected file" it shows up in my player perfectly with album art and everything, it just won't play
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Is it MP3 or WMA?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
They are WMA files, and now that I think about it that is probably the problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrianDigital:
not always, stuff my zune and amazon still have drm even if you buy it outright
[Epic 4G Android Development] us3rX:
After reading what he said up there ^^ WMA is not bought and paid for... Everything I have paid for was converted to mp3. If it stayed WMA and with DRM, then it would be pointless to buy it. =p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielahl137:
What does it mean to flash a rom? Like install it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
Yes, it means to install it. The process is similar to formatting your computer's hard drive & installing a new operating system.

You've got to be rooted & have a recovery image installed (hopefully you installed one as part of your rooting) search the forums for more on that if you aren't sure.

Short-version how-to:

1. Back up your data, apps, & even your SD card just to be safe. It shouldn't be a problem if you do things right, but still...

2. copy the ROM of choice into the root area of your sd card (not in a sub-folder)

3. turn off phone. Boot phone into "recovery" by holding the Up-vol button when you turn on the phone - keep holding the up-volume until the menu pops up. (if no menu comes up, you didn't install a recovery image - search for "amon-ra" in the forums)

4. Go to "backup & restore" and make a "nand backup" which will backup your current ROM, settings, etc.

5. Wipe system. Wipe Dalvik. Don't skip this step.

6. choose "flash zip from SD card", scroll down to the ROM you downloaded & let 'er rip!

7. Reboot when it finishes flashing & find something to do for the 10 minutes it may take for your phone to reboot.

8. Set it up & enjoy!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielahl137:
Sweet man. Yeha I guess when I rooted it it put the recovery image on there. I've been using rom manager to back an change roms.
[Nexus One General] Lamar720:
Hey, guys I'm looking for clean layout ideals for the MIUI rom. Good ways to organize apps, nice backgrounds etc. etc. please post your screen shots of this Rom and Launcher only. Thanks
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
I apologize if this has been covered, but I can't find specific info with my search terms.

I'm cooking for Rhodium, WVGA, WM 6.5.x sys 21682. My base ROM is ATT's stock august 30th 2010 ROM. Using OSKitchen Zero, latest release.

Basically, I can't get any version of sense to work. I've tried cooking 2016, 2018, and 2019, and can't get any of them to work. The problem is that when I try to import the EXT packages with OSKZ, I get an error stating: "The OEM package you've selected doesn't seem to be valid..."

So, I thought maybe it was just being strange. So I placed the packages manually into the kitchen and tried to build the ROM and platform builder would hang and I'd have to cancel the process.

Any tips tricks or ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Smith
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Where are you sourcing your sense files from?

Have you got the additional dependencies covered (ie starticonloader?)
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
I'm not sure what you mean by sourcing exactly, but on my PC they're located on my desktop, and I've also tried placing them straight into my kitchen without using the GUI to do it.

I got the files from a post here on XDA.

Yeah, I believe I have all the additional dependencies as well.

I've been reading and it looks like I have to modify the app.dat file and some other files?

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
OK so you got them from XDA - as I am assuming you are not using the At&T standard ones. (that was what I meant).

The ones I got from XDA were already CFC'd and were already in EXT format not OEM and so did not need any importing as such, just copying into the directory.

I did not need to modify anything - cannot remember the thread I got them from tho.

I will try and have a look, but my kitchen is now such an amalgamation of packages that I couldn't be sure where it all came from.
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Ahhhh ok, i was confused because it says's import, ext package then it asks for an oem location.

Ok, with that cleared up, place straight into kitchen, gotcha. How many dependencies are there, can you recall? I think i have them all but I want to make sure.

Thanks a lot!

Regards

Smith

Edit:

No go, but here's the error (attached in the pic)
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You've got files inside of modules. You need to clean your modules up.
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Alright, is there any reading I could do to help me figure out what to clean and what to keep?

Thanks

Smith
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Try looking inside the corrupt modules, then look in some clean ones, and figure out what doesn't belong. It should be obvious.

Someone else is just going to tell you the answer, but you're better off figuring it out yourself.
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Couldn't agree more. I'll check it out.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

Regards

Smith

Edit: one last question. It's killing me finding all the WVGA dependencies for this package, they're all vga is appears. This is what I'm using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797602

and when it lists the "required packages" when I download it it's labled VGA, not WVGA, and I think that'll be a problem. Will it?
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Right, cooking sense is not my strongest point so I will probably leave it to others to take it further, but

Modules vs files - you need one or the other I think. Look up recmod and reversemod.

I just used a set of Manila files uploaded and CFC'd by someone from the latest official LEO ROM.(By Patensas I think) and maybe updated the HTC framework as well.
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Alright, so I've figured out which packages I need to recmod and have done so. I haven't found those leo files yet, but I'm looking. Just got home. I'll post back when I see how that goes!

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
I have never had to recmod any of the sense files.

What you need to do is delete the files (ie the .dll) within the module. The kitchen will use the module to create the file on the device, it does not need the file as well. Hence the kitchen is giving the warning.

I think.
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
Hi, just re read your first post.

Could you confirm you have done the following:

Dumped the ATT base rom and rebuilt using just that with the EXTs that came from it, flashed it, and checked it worked? (So you should have had a working Sense in that) as per the Oskitchen instruction set?

If there have been problems with that, try ticking the box next to recmod on the Phone Canvas Enhancement package. I think there was an issue with the ATT ROM around this.
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Yeah, I did that. Here's the weird part though. That worked the first time. But after having all these difficulties, seeing as I haven't made much real progress, I rebuilt my kitchen. Then it wouldn't work. I would get the exact same runtime error, eventhough it worked before and I've installed all the libraries.

So, as of now the problem lies somewhere with my kitchen. I'm trying to troubleshoot it right now.

Any ideas as to why that might be? I've tried the FAQ's in the OSK thread and haven't fixed the problem :/

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] crazyC:
No sorry.

I had some kitchen problems when upgrading from oskitchen 1.32 (tried to completely reorganise my EXTs at the same time and it went horribly wrong), so went back to 1.32 to sort it out and will upgrade in due course.

If platform rebuilder crashes during the build then you dont need to waste time flashing.

Disable all EXTs and build and then add them in blocks till you identify what is causing the crash.

If it crashes with no EXTs then try the original sys, and if no joy reimport the rom?

Are all the recommended packages ticked for Recmod?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I can't help you on Sense, as I don't use it, but why would you recmod anything? That's a bad idea. If you have a 6.5 kernel, use it.
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Actually recmodding ATT Phone Canvas fixed the problem.

I was able to generate the ROM image with sense 2017 cooked in, but sense won't launch now. "Tap to Start Sense" so I'm double checking dependencies, exe and dll files as we speak.

Thanks a lot for all the help!

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
So i got sense 2017 to at least load. now, however, none of the softkeys work, and tapping on a message in the message tab doesn't work.

So far so good. lots of learning to do yet, but I'll get there.

Thanks a lot for al the info!

Regards

Smith
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Alright, I can't get sense to work again lol. It just kinda stopped, eventhough I'm using the same packages for manila and its dependencies.

Any ideas?

Smith

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mousiope:
i have this question in the back of my head for some time ... here I go :d

Why if I for example open droidlife.com on my milestone with 3 randon browsers it works great on all 3 of them, but if i open xda developpers site in the same 3 browser it feels laggy on all 3, I´m mentioning xda developpers site but this also happens to me with other sites that look a lot like xda´s one.
[Networking] winmofreak:
I'm considering getting an unlocked GSM phone soon, but I've never had a gsm carrier, so I'm a little confused. Here's what (I think) I know: a dual band phone will work on t mobile (2100 MHz) but not AT&T. A tri band phone will work on AT&T and tmobile. I would prefer t mobile over AT&T, but if I have to get AT&T it won't be the end of the world. So am I right? Corrections welcome.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
Hey All,

I can confirm it is possible to permanently (as far as I can tell) brick a Captivate. This is how:

- I was running cognition froyo beta 7 - the one without touchwiz

- The phone has the random shut down issue and I figured I'd try to reset to factory to fix it...

- I Master cleared using ODIN (its not my first time using it so pretty sure i did it right) and it said it completed successfully. The phone reboots and all I see is the cognition taskbar. Im assuming this is because cognition doesnt use launcher pro and master clear removed it...so no launcher :(

- Cant activate usb debugging. After a couple of hours of experimenting, master clearing completed successfully and it enable usb debugging...so I thought yay!

- Restarted to do the one click start thing ... and cant enter bootloader anymore (used to work with the vol up, vol down + usb method) nope, tried the other methods too ... nope no success..

ANy ideas? Willing to try almost anything at this point!

Edit: Adb might have worked. Apparently master clear on ODIC Fails right at the end but when it tries to restart, it force closes but leaves usb debugging enabled (phew!). So Adb works! .... have now loaded up cog beat 7 and its working....now going to try and flash back to stock to fix this annoying shut down issue! Feel like a champ :)

Cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] Snoduz:
Just downloaded this and gave it a try. It's a fun game; I used to be addicted to a similar version of the game (flash-based) a long time ago. This might turn out to be equally addictive, unfortunately. :)

One thing though: The collisionbox on the helicopter is a bit inaccurate, leading to annoying crashes where it looks like you're going to make it past an obstacle... but then you don't :P
[Android Apps and Games] fahim_k:
Thanks for testing it out, there is a problem with the collision detection because by mistake there are extra transparent pixels in the helicopter. Since I implemented a box collision it is counting the transparent pixels, there will be major fixes coming to the game next week and someone from the forum has volunteered to help with the graphics (and they are also working with me to improve the overall quality of the game)
[Android Apps and Games] MazinDLX:
Yeah I'd 5 star once pixel issues fixed.. out of site out of mind especially when I'm getting into it
[Android Apps and Games] fahim_k:
Just added an update a few days ago with some major changes. I am planning to have a local high score leader board in the next version.

I am also thinking about writing a GUI theme maker but I would like to know first if anyone is interested in designing their own themes for the game.

[UPDATED 12/18/2010] - erisengspl.zip

NOTE: SEE WARNING BELOW!

[ Update 2010/12/18 ] I tested installation of "erisengspl.zip" using both the 1.47.0000 (S-ON) and 1.49.0000 (S-ON) bootloaders, and the results were mixed. In both cases, the recovery boot in use was the (original) Amon_RA "v1.6.2" for the Eris. Results:

- w/ 1.47.0000 S-ON bootloader, the update failed silently (but did not appear to harm the phone)

- w/ 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader, the installation of the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader succeeded.

I dowloaded the "erisengspl.zip" file found in this post.

It has a length of 165,896 Bytes and a MD5 checksum of df014009668389ef145fbb047b5ec56c

(Note the reason I mention these details is that you didn't mention where you got your copy of the file, etc.)

I extracted it and looked at it; the "spl.bin" file indeed has the same MD5 checksum as the Root-ROM bootloader (it's original file name was "hboot_7501a_1.49.2000_100124.nb0", btw) - 22d3c7082811170e70f308e3213b5d1f

The only other meaningful file in "erisengspl.zip" is the update-script file, which contains only the single line:

write_hboot_image PACKAGE:spl.bin

which looks pretty kosher.

In short, the file that I downloaded (from the link provided above) looks like it should do exactly what you describe. I assume you have the same file, but you ought to check.

Note that flashing your bootloader is the single most dangerous flashing operation you can do to an Eris. At a minimum, I would make sure your phone is 100% charged.

(See Update Notice above) I won't promise you anything, as I have not used this particular method (although I have re-flashed my bootloader many, many times using either fastboot or PB00IMG.zip files), but everything certainly looks legit in the file I downloaded.

[SIZE=+2] WARNING: "erisengspl.zip" EXTREME HAZARD[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]

XDA user blindmanpb reported bricking of his phone when "erisengspl.zip" was flashed on a phone with a 1.46.0000 S-ON bootloader present.[/SIZE]

Previously, my own personal testing showed that it does not work with the 1.47.0000 S-ON bootloader (but did not cause a bricking)

[SIZE=+2]DO NOT USE "erisengspl.zip" ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE 1.49.0000 S-ON BOOTLOADER[/SIZE]
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Bump.

Note the new information (test results) in post #4 above.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malakai1911:
Erisengspl (proper MD5) did work on my phone. It was (bought used, stock firmware, never rooted) 1.47.000 S-ON. I had rooted it, and installed kaosfroyo, and it flashed successfully to 1.49.2000 S-OFF (from 1.47 S-ON).

If the worst case reported on the 1.47.0000 S-ON has been it just failing to do anything, then it seems worth trying (cause it did work for me).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Thanks; interesting information! This sounds a little bit similar to the radio flashing problems that spc_hicks was noticing a couple of days ago - lack of reproducibility when passing booting instructions between the recovery and the bootloader. I observed the same thing (with the radio firmware, which is flashed using the same sequence of events) - I could get it to happen sometimes, and sometimes it would fail (with the same bootloader!)

Because the actual flashing of the replacement bootloader/radio firmware is performed by whatever existing bootloader is on the phone, the recovery needs to provide "booting instructions" to the bootloader in a non-volatile fashion. Basically, it tells the bootloader "here's a file that you need to write to partition so-and-so".

I'm pretty sure this happens in the "misc" partition; using the fastboot OEM command "part2sd", I have dumped the misc (and misc3) partitions after a variety of different boot sequences, and noticed booting instructions appearing and disappearing at a standard offset within the "misc" partition.

Probably we could pin this down by very careful observations of boot seqences and many flashing operations... but for one, I am certainly not eager to repeatedly flash my bootloader in the hopes of figuring it out - it's the single most dangerous flashing operation that you can perform on the phone.

Thanks for the feedback, though - any brave 1.47.0000 S-ON user out there who want to give it a try?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JvIo55iBl3r:
Guys. need some help here. I had some SD Card problem tonight totally out of blue.

Here is what happened. my evo was sleeping during last few hours, I tried to turn on screen by hit the power button mins ago. All buttons are lighted, but not screen. I was out of ideas but took off the battery, and reboot the evo. After reboot, there was one icon on the notification bar, "you can safely remove your sd card", I felt so strange, also, I cannot find lots of apps in the menu. I started to worry either my evo or the sd card itself.

So I had another sdcard installed into evo. Fortunately, I can mount it with usb cable, also save/delete files on that sd card. So I believe it's my original 8gb sd card problem. I m thinking to fix it by formating or so. So, by adaptor, i connected it to my pc(win7), the bad thing is my system cannot recognize the sd card, there is even no new drive showing up(i did test on another sd card, when i hooked it up with the same adaptor, new drive popping up in the my computer).

okay, guys, is there any one met such situation before? any way to diagnose and fix the issue? I do really appreciate.

I've tried it with a bunch of roms and so far it hasn't worked with any of them except Worms Armageddon which it ran at like 5 frames per second. I've tried FF Tactics, MGS, Simcity 2000, Warcraft 2, and a couple others, and it launched MGS but skips through the briefing and crashes when I load a VR mission and stays at a black screen when I load the story mode. I only have Lite because if it's this limited I can't see myself buying it. I'm running version 1.6 for the record.
