[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] e_razor:
The aim of this "project" was to be able to steam video and audio from my windows fileserver, started out with windows mediaplayer DLNA and moved on to Windows media connect because 2008R2 does not have the DLNA component in its windows media player. Moved on to trying other kinds of media servers with and without transcoding. With no particular success. Then i stumbled over these smb modules for the phone. It worked well with minimal effort. I have not tried EStrong file manager personally, but i was under the impression that the internal player did not handle SMB shares on its own. Perhaps it has some kinda SMB functionality? If you can open your mediafiles with it alone, that sounds nice. But it also sounds kinda too good to be true, perhaps it buffers the file locally somehow and its not actually doing true streaming?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Oh, sure! It saves a local copy, so it's not actually streaming... :p Now I can understand the usefulness of this thread! :)
[HTC Aria General] Javi97100:
Can anyone confirm that if u update with a official update, u will be unrooted
[HTC Aria General] BelacNongaw:
Absolutely, and you may very well end up in a situation where it will be incredibly hard to get rooted again.
[HTC Aria General] Javi97100:
So u recommend not to update?
[HTC Aria General] Noz85:
I wouldn't unless you are having problems with the phone or you are going to send it back to art.

Unroot went ok

I unrooted last week just to see if I could just in case I had to return to AT&T, it wasn't easy, but finally got it to work. I then used the LINUX(built a LINUX: UBUNTU bootable CD) method of rooting again, went flawlessly; no issues at all.
[HTC Aria General] jeebuz:
I un-rooted last night booting into Fastboot USB and running the ATT stock ROM given on the HTC website... finished in 5 minutes. Had to fix something un-related, but it was a good test to see if I could un-root.

Then I just used unrevoked3 to root again; no problems.
[Legend General] chm_legend_user:
I am using an unlocked HTC Legend with a SIM card that is not from it's "home" network. The phone works fine, but it believes that it's roaming all of the time.

Is there a way to change the phone's home network configuration, if there is such a thing?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeps17:
Mod lock this thread! I decided to downgrade my SPL back to stock HBOOT-0.95.0000 and flash DREAM.nbh, so now I'm at a stock G1 running Android V1.0 :) the speed is amazing now lol. Going to root it again tomorrow k?, cya.

I don't know how, but I lost my root access. When I open Terminal on my phone, and type "su", it does not give the "#", which means I don't have root anymore. I don't know what to do, I'm running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 RC1, DangerSPL is installed (HBOOT-1.33.2005), and my radio is 2.22.23.02 (T-Mobile USA).

What can I do to get my root access back?? Please help me. I'm running a Custom ROM w/o root access anymore!

EDIT: Okay, when I type "su", I now get the "#", so does that mean I have root again?

EDIT2: Whenever I type "cd /system", it does not let me go through... do I not have root??

EDIT3: Yeah, I don't think my phone isn't rooted anymore.. whenever I try to do the commands to gain root access, it gives errors saying (are you root?)

EDIT4: Damn it I'm getting pissed. When I type su, it gets the #, but when I type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system," it does not work and gives me a "mount: permission denied (are you root?)"

Somebody give me advice please.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
What do you expect from a plain old 1.0 Android ROM? You do not have root, but ... you can gain it back easily. Follow the "standard" rooting tutorials.

One suggestion to all: read first, then flash.

[Desire HD General] noomski:
Ok, I know there's a few posts around here about the crazy headset events being miscommunicated from headphones without controls.

(Just incase anyones unaware, some people are reporting that a regular pair of headphones with no mic or playback controls interferes with the music player and starts randomly skipping etc (extremely frustrating). This hasn't been fixed by HTC yet, but the app 'Headset Blocker' did the trick for me perfectly...)

...However it's back! But this time when playing video. It doesn't skip it just pauses and unpauses randomly.

So I'm on the train watching some tv shows through the stock video player and it pauses and unpauses all the time. When it pauses I just unpause it and maybe watch about 10-20 secs of video. but sometimes it unpauses by itself just before I try, so I end up pausing it again! This little game of silly buggers can get really annoying.

It's like the video player can see my thumb coming towards the screen to unpause it and then it unpauses just in time for me to pause it again......

AAAAArrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh the infuriating, frustratingly crazy madness....count to 10 ......and ....relax

Anyone (preferably HTC) with a solution will go straight to the top of my Christmas card list.
[Desire HD General] pocketwool:
I have the same problem, when I connect the DHD to my auto radio!!! Anyone know if it is possible to disable the headset controls?

Thanks....
[Desire HD General] noomski:
Your problem can be easily fixed with the app 'Headset Blocker' (as mentioned in my first post).

My problem is different from yours.
[Desire HD General] pocketwool:
Thanks. Yes, it works.......should just read your post more carefull. Have you found a solution to the video playback?
[Omnia 7 General] Epsen.:
hi,

I noticed i always have a bit of noise behind music. At silent parts you really hear that there's static-like noise in the background. Tested with various tracks, always 320kb/s quality. You can hear it over the integrated speaker too, so it's not my headphones.

Anybody else notice this? Is that "normal" for the Omnia 7 or did I get a bad unit?
[Omnia 7 General] comeradealexi:
I think thats normal for all device? need a second opinion, could be wrong. Usually the noise stops when nothing is being played though.
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Can't hear any static myself ? Just played a few 320kb Deadmau5 tracks, On some closed cup headphones, and out the rear speaker, Sounds perfect out the headphones, But isn't exactly studio quaility out the speaker phone and never will be the size it.
[Omnia 7 General] comeradealexi:
I only never notice it if i'm listening late at night when everything else is silent. Otherwise its not a problem. Call me an old fart too, but i complain about all devices these days that they dont go quiet enough! Volume level 1 is too loud lol!
[Omnia 7 General] Darknight247:
havent noticed any sounds other than the music but i have noticed that most tracks skip at the end of the track. Anyone else noticed this?
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Must agree on te vol 1 setting, it's almost my old 3310 loud setting lol

i will do some more testing, is there a track you could suggest that you have heard this most ? and at what volume.

Not had any trouble with the tracks skipping ether. thought it did a good job of blending together tbh.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
I've found that when playing video files, quiet moments tend to just be muted.

For example in a film if the scene is busy and noisy it's fine but then if it were to cut to a scene where two people are quietly talking i get no sound. It's almost like it's noise cancelling.

If i turn the volume up there is no problem.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
if you think its apps running in the background try something like advanced task killer which has a auto kill feature that way it will kill any excess stuff every 30 min or what ever you set it for

also system panel will like you monitor you device/cpu/battery usage and graph it over periods like 8hrs 24hrs 3days 7days so you can see what is really using up your battery and when
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tallyphillips:
Okay ty so much pack!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountainboy:
You might want to look for 'super power' in the android apps section- I just installed it earlier today- seems pretty sweet so far, I didn't have any luck with task killer- it actually made my phone real choppy until i removed it, not it's smooth. Super Power is still in beta, but it's designed to manage your battery usage- and you can really tweak it for your preferences
[Android Software Development] Futur Innovations:
I am still mostly new to developing (since august and only released 1 app in the market) and I have an idea for a home-replacement. I only have sketches of what I would like it to look like. Since I have already posted the pictures and the descriptions of the functions of the UI on my website, I will just give you the name of the website to go to. I am asking for collaboration in making this a reality. Credit will be given to all of those who help, even if it is to tweak the icon. If there are any questions, please ask. You can either PM, email, or post a comment here or on the blog to reach me. Thanks in advance :)

Brilliant idea. I was searching for slide-out dock or something like "fan". I would like to help you, but i know only BASICS of C++.

If I understand you right, you have in mind sth. like this:

-Objectdock

-"fan" like menu

-Circle dock

P.S.:

I found side-bar like app and it's called Smart taskbar (sidebar). It's good but i don't like full screen look. It would better looking sth. like Objectdock.

Love the idea! I think it looks like a home replacement that i would actually use and as long as it's stable it would rival launcherpro :)

I am willing to do some very basic development (i am currently learning java) but I cannot code very well but I can deffinatley give some tips and do LOTS of beta testing.

please PM me when you start the development for this app or sooner.

thanks,

ljbaumer

EDIT: I probably won't be able to help that much with the deving because I haven't worked with the andorid APIs yet because I am still learning but I know all about the SDK and how to use it completely. I also know a lot of overall android info.
[Android Software Development] Futur Innovations:
Thank you all for replying. Sorry it took so long for me to reply. I just recently got the XDA app and I could load up all of my threads. I have made some progress on the home replacement app. My first problem was to get the app to be accepted by the phone as a home replacement. I got that figured out. Then I placed a simple grid view in the app containing all of the application icons from the phone. My current problem is that I don't know how to make each icon launch the application. If anyone knows how to do that, it would help tremendously. Once again, thank you so much for hearing me out :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
running rod's miui rom and was trying to remove excess crap via titanium pro. when trying to remove facebook it would reboot and give an error message about signature failure. so i thought i'd see if it would successfully remove a different app. rod included a fancy widget app that i had no desire for. when trying to remove that, it did a number on my n1. i cannot get into the recovery mode or anything.

this is a video of what the phone now does. no matter if i pull the battery or what.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
That's an interesting one.

When you turn it on - this is the first thing you see? No "X" at all?

Did you try ADB to see if it sees the device?

Looks just like radio flash, but with radio flash there are no recovery messages, if I remember correctly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
no, i get the un-animated X, and then it goes straight to this. regardless if i hold down the trackball or not.

what do i need to do to try to adb to it? i don't fool with adb ever, just when i first rooted/unlocked it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
Put a diff update.zip for another rom on your sdcard. Lemme know if it works
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
i took enoms rom, renamed it update.zip and placed it on the sdcard. still nothing, same thing.

if i press the powerbutton whilst on the android out of the box thing it says.

"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0

Finding Update Package........

Opening Update Package.......

Verifying Update Package......

Installing Update....."

this is shown in the video, but blurry and hard to read.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
well, if im doing things right..... adb remount said it successfully did so.

(edit) ok, i can definitely connect via adb, i just ran the reboot bootloader command and the phone rebooted..... albeit back to that stupid looping screen.

You need a rom that can be flashed as an update.zip, most are not flashed that easy. Can you get into fastboot?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
i don't think so
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
Try booting into fastboot, if you can your good if not then I will do some digging.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
well, i cant get to the recovery screen to initiate fastboot. if i use adb reboot-recovery it just reboots the phone and goes back to the looping crap i'm stuck at.

if i try any fastboot commands, i get nothing. i just can't get it to do anything other than respond to adb commands.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
a fella from nexus one forums suggests that perhaps my bootloader is messed up and needs to be restored? that sound possible?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
That was this fella, and I'm actually more convinced that the recovery is stuck trying to do an update... xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
haha. the omnipresent danger-rat is indeed the fella.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I was hoping Jack or Rusty would be here to check my logic...

Here's what we believe so far:

1 - phone appears to be in recovery, and trying to install an update.

2 - phone is in recovery, so adb is (kinda) working.

3 - there's no update.zip on the SD card.

4 - trying to overwrite the recovery via adb gives a "device or resource busy" response...

My guess is that if the install process can be killed, then you should be able to re-gain control?

...I've no idea how to kill processes via adb... :-(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
Woooooo HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm not entirely sure what i did......... but i think i have it. i transfered amon's 1.7.0 img to the sdcard and aptly renamed it recovery.img. after just now trying to restart to see if i could get fastboot to do anything it must have found the recovery.img and reflash amon. i'm looking at amons recovery now as i type.

i just rebooted and now i'm back into rods miui...... phone is working fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
just wanted to say thanks so much for all your effort and help man.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
now a new quick question... which is what started this whole fiasco.

how can i remove unwanted apps from rods miui rom?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
adb shell

su

rm -rf /system/app/nameofapp.apk

once the apps are deleted:

(on the phone)

go to settings--> manage applications

and delete any leftover files pertaining to the programs you just deleted

Reboot

Then reboot and make a backup

*EDIT*

You may need to reboot after removing the programs for those file to show up in Manage Applicaions
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
I think I can manage that. Can this be done with root explorer as well? will this remove any unwanted apk, even the email application or just ones that have been cooked into roms?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
it can be done but you must mount the /system partition as read-write first

it will work with any app that is not-uninstallable in the OS (i.e. apps in /system/app)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
Its better to use the adb method, with adb you can remove email, calender, sms, anything without problems. Make sure after you remove the apps via adb you also remove the apps via application manager.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
Well I just got done removing them via root explorer. Including the email application. I've yet to reboot but it's removed the apps from the application drawer instantly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:
Imho the adb method with the uninstall is better because it removes the .odex files which can cause issues if left behind.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noremacyug:
Thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'm just glad I can easily remove all the extra crap I don't want.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brnbock:

OzDROID ROM 2.00 vs BARE BONES WM ROM FOR ANDROID BY NRGZ28

Please, i need your valued opinion!

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jan-willem3:
Oz/Clean ex are both based on clean ex base from g.lewarne. Wich are the best battery and fastest roms there are. You also got VBN rom wich include battery tweaks from clean ex.

In case for Android only I would recommendend oz droid or vbn reloaded.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Laynee1:
So you are saying that oz droid is better than nrgz bare bones? :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jan-willem3:
Yes my experience with NRGZ is that he have stable and nice themed roms. With cool preloaded stuff etc. But in your case you need a rom to startup android. And in terms of raw speed and battery (wich is also a little bit important for android) ozdroid is better.
