[Hero CDMA General] chromiumleaf:
Just root your 1.56 device as it is, using an old root method for 1.5 versions. Do NOT apply the 2.1 RUU or use the root steps for 2.1.

When you're rooted on 1.56 and have a custom recovery, you can apply any ROM you want, including the newer 2.1 ROMs.....all without fully upgrading your whole phone to the stock 2.1 release.

This is what I've done. Technically my phone is still on 1.5 root, because I never applied the official 2.1 RUU. But with the custom recovery image (you'll see how to get that in the rooting guide), I am running a 2.2 ROM. I could easily uninstall/delete this ROM and still return to the 1.5 stock state.

This will let you try CM6 or any other 2.1 or 2.2 ROMs without crossing that "can't go back" state. PM me for more help if you'd like.

So I have read in a few places that the camera on the DVP isn't so hot.

Can anyone that has one comment on this?

Thanks!

It's a DVP vs HD7 thread, but OP has samples from DVP. Some people also stated the DVP camera is OK during daylight shots, its in low light environments when it starts to perform poorly.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
I can back this up. With enough light, the DVP does very well. Where there is low or little light the shutter speed is way too slow to make anything come into focus.

WP7 in general, or DVP issue, the auto white balance/iso settings are pretty garbage and need to be optimized to ever be used properly. The only decent pictures I have gotten have been with all auto settings disabled.
[Venue Pro General] zazierx:
only thing that has me a little worried about the DVP is this...

youtube.com/watch?v=FMhM3InAzwc

apparently the camera quality kinda sucks unless in direct sunlight.
[Venue Pro General] Spankmeister:
Yea, this is what I suspected.

Now the question is whether it is a software issue or a much larger hardware issue.

I have a TP2 now, which doesn't have a flash but takes pretty good pics.

Although this is not a dealbreaker, it is just another chink in the big picture as I have been waffling between G2 and the DVP.
[Venue Pro General] eyan15:
Epic fail!

After some time with the VP, I can honestly say this is the most awful 'cell phone' camera I have seen.

Yesterday I tried to take a picture of the IMEI number on the Vibrant. look at the difference... between VP and the G2.

I tried a lot of things with the VP but still nothing. I have no hope for this camera. Also However steady you hold it (even some 3 sec after the shot) you always end with a blurry unusable picture.

The only pic you can ever take is of landscape in bright sunlight.View attachment 445085
[Venue Pro General] eyan15:
If you are not a 'compulsive' early adapter [like me :mad:] then G2 is million times better... It's not even a close fight.

My exp with android was a few weeks with G1 and a few weeks with myTouch3G. I hated it, I always thought like they tired too hard to be like iPhone but didn't have that finesse.

Then a month back got the G2 after liking the Android on my HD2. and I'm in love. I like the whole widget approach, I like it that all that I need is on the home screens (not unlike what WM7 promises but it's not there yet). Go to the G2 forum and check the home page screen shots... no two android phone will look alike.

And there so many 'tweaking' possibility.
[Venue Pro General] djca:
I checked the EXIF information of the pics taken with Venue Pro posted in this thread. Interestingly, the reported camera name wasn't branded as coming from a Dell Venue Pro (unlike the Samsung Focus which reports Camera: Samsung SGH-I917). I guess Dell forgot to change that EXIF field.

Instead we have Camera: OmniVision OV5642. This is the same sensor used in the iPhone 4's rear camera. I don't know how good the iPhone 4's camera is, but I guess this means that hardware-wise we should expect the same performance from the Venue Pro. Hopefully the current problems can still be fixed by Dell whether its software-related or just build quality issues.
[Venue Pro General] jcoob:
Interesting observation. It also makes you wonder how they could *** it up so big time.
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
Can anyone confirm that the camera does in fact take blurry low light pictures? Can this be fixed with an update or is it a hardware issue?
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
last i heard dell was actually looking into the camera issue and settings. Hopefully they will have a fix for us
[Venue Pro General] kharnak:
Actually I go to OmniVision's website and get a quick check. it's quite likely that it's just the sensor, excluding the camera. so you can easily answer the question of why the pics from a same DSLR can differ this much - the lenses are different. searched for pictures of IP4, DVP and Omnia 7. based on subjective comparison of the pictures, IP4's lens seems the best and Omnia 7 the worst...

Anyway, let's wait for Dell's patch.

[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
Will anything happen?? I've deleted some apps aswell..
[G2 and Desire Z General] wildone81:
You mean other than wipe all settings and apps? Root will still be in effect if perm-rooted, and anything you removed from/added to your /system will still be as before.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
Yeah, I am perm-rooted and just asking if doing a factory reset through Privacy in options will bring back those apps? I just have a weird feeling.. I deleted google translate, facebook, and goggles through root explorer, but they still show up even without a FC or anything.. all the rest of bloatware are gone besides those.. I can use them even though they don't show up in root explorer. I did battery pull and all besides that reset.. if there's no FC, it shouldn't matter right??
[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
Got it to work now, needed to uninstall the updates first..

Now, another question.. I did not do anything to userkeystool but I keep getting FC when trying to set any of the keys, is there a way to fix_permissions without clockwork recovery? As I'm use to running it everytime a FC came up on my other phones...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ZeroSX:
Run through Rom Manager. There's no built-in fix_permissions script on stock roms from what I remember.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
So just download rom manager and I can run it without installing anything else?? I don't want to flash any kind of recovery until cm 6.1 is stable and has the 3 issues cyanogen posted fix.. and if fix permissions don't work, anything else I can do??? I know its just quick keys but I atleast want all my features to work, especially since its stock but rooted and bloatware removed.. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayB059:
Hi there,

Not sure if this is the best place to post this or not because it potentially applies to other devices running froyo but I'll start here since I have a G2.

I was curious if there was a way to get a direct shortcut to the volume control sliders (Menu -> Settings -> Sound -> Volume). There doesn't seem to be one by default (only one to get to Sound settings). There seems to be apps that can do this but I wanted to see if it could be done possibly through an Any Cut shortcut, but I do not know how to go about finding out which parameters to use (i.e. Action/intent) to launch the default volume control (using Any Cut's "make your own" option because there doesn't seem to be one listed under Activity by default).

Also, there seems to be a minor "bug" with getting to the volume control from the Sound settings menu when the phone is in Vibrate or Silent mode. Both of these modes check the "Silent mode" box in Sound settings, but when that box is checked, the "Volume" selection which launches the volume control is disabled. So, in order to launch the volume control you need to first take your phone out of Silent mode to change say the media volume level. If this is indeed a bug, albeit a minor one, how would I go about submitting this to the proper people?

Sorry for the long post...thanks very much.

Hi,

Now that i've rooted my tmobile G2, i'd like to remove completely some of the apps that i disabled previously (like amazon or photobucket)

I've done some research and found this out

su

mount -o rw,remount /data (or /system)

rm -f /system/app/<apkname>.apk //Replace the blue text, <apkname>, with the name of the APK you want to remove.

pm uninstall <package name> //Replace the blue text, <package name>, with the name of the APK you want to remove.

however, when i run the mount command, i get

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

if i try to remove the app directly without running the command

package:/system/app/PbAndroid.apk=com.photobucket.android

i get

rm -f PbAndroid.apk

rm failed for -f, Read-only file system

how do i do this now?

You're using the force uninstall in titanium backup. This was only necessary for nand locked devices, you can use the normal uninstall function now. Just tap, don't long press -- it'll give you a list of options.

I tried the easier way with titanium backup.

I did the mistake of doing the long press and it rebooted.

I think that I'm allowed to post this...but I recently downloaded a cracked beta 2.10 version of Swype HVGA I think? There were two choices HVGA and WVGA, not sure what the difference is?

It was working fine for a day, and then about an hour ago I was replying to a text and I couldn't even get it to type the word I was trying to type, or any word relatively close for that matter. It should be noted that when I turned my Evo sideways to landscape mode that I would recieve and error message saying that it was not the right size for my phone as well. After this happened, I tried clearing the data and uninstalling-reinstalling. When I would click on the text box after re-installation, swype would just keep force closing.
