[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tech9000:
Hi,

I know that the Google Nexus One gets the Android updates faster then the others, some like the Hero got the Froyo update much later but in general especially in the latest Android Phones how much later they get the updates? This N1 advantage is so very significant that makes one choose it instead of eg the HTC Desire wich is 95% equal?

Regards

RB
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] scczsq:
i think so,this is the reason why i choose n1 but not Desire~~however,user the latest rom is more important than others~
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tech9000:
Anymore opinions? Desire users did you already been offer the latest 2 part update with minor bug fixes?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tech9000:
Read an article a few days ago that the HTC Legend is only getting Froyo this month but only in Europe

Even if the sense shell makes the android in it different that is a long time! but off course this have HTC speculation also and probably that is the biggest the reason of the delay because HTC software designers already proved that they are good. But i think that maybe Sony is even worst.

I myself couldn´t live no more without Java.

Are there any ideas so far of porting the MIUI to the Kaiser? It simply looks freakin awesome.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
Point me to some source code and i'll have a go, otherwise that's a lot of apk's to edit so it fits on our screens!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] arekmelerski:
In My Kaiser MIUI Browser wor fine...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
The 'MIUI browser' available to download is a clone of the actual MIUI browser and is therefore compiled for various screen sizes. The MIUI interface is made for high resolution devices so would take a lot of porting!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] casacristo:
How about some limited porting?

that could be done decompiling (and editing) a few .apks I suppose (I am no programmer)

The MIUI launcher, the pull down menu (with all the switches there) and the settings with tabs are kind of the main MIUI core.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jholtom:
I've been looking for the MIUI source and can't find it

Is it possible to use a Vogue CDMA rom on our Kaiser ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yes you can (i only had a cdma vogue so if you used Not So Super Froyo you used a vogue ROM)

as far as MIUI's source its never been released, the team that makes it likes keeping the source closed for some reason. Also porting it is going to be a lot more difficult than you think, even the hero wasn't able to get a working version mostly because it is designed for ARM7 processors in it's current form and without source it would be really unlikely to get to boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
Without the sources... and MIUI tie to ARM7... we might be on a bit of a problem.

I won't say impossible, but unlikely...

Still, it would be awesome :)

Hi there!

Some days ago I made a WAV file with loop points in it with Wavosaur.

The sound can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-LKJoIevYo

Now my problem is that, I can't find any audio player what can play these loop points

I succesfully created them, as you can see here:

Hi guys,

just wanted to ask which program are you using to convert your videos so that they could be played on your N1.

I want a program that supports multithreading, allowing the conversion to be quick.

Oh, and I'm aiming for maximum quality and minimum size.
[Nexus One General] NightSidew1nd3r:
Format factory
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
mac - quicktime pro or ffmpegx, or handbrake (all at once)

windows - no idea, so glad i don't suffer that mess anymore

linux - acid::rip, mplayer, mencoder, ffmpeg, vlc, a few more

i've a few settings on ffmpegx and handbrake that make for very nicely sized/shaped movies on the n1. there is no noticable difference between a 500Mb file and a 4Gb file on my n1. better audio is always a huge plus, but the rips i make are usually just minimal stereo anyway.

:)
[Nexus One General] dolphin77:
I use script which initially suggested here: alien.slackbook.org/blog/re-encoding-video-for-android/

cat encode.sh

#!/bin/sh

ffmpeg -i $1.* -threads 0 -vcodec libx264 \

-vpre slow_firstpass -vpre baseline -b 480k -r 13 \

-acodec aac -ab 128k -sameq \

-pass 1 -f rawvideo -an -y /dev/null && \

ffmpeg -strict experimental -i $1.* -threads 0 -vcodec libx264 \

-vpre slow -vpre baseline -b 480k -r 13 \

-acodec aac -ab 128k -ac 2 -sameq -pass 2 $1.mp4

For a file movie.* (can be avi, mkv) I use it like:

./encode.sh movie
[Nexus One General] skinnyq:
Forgot to mention my OS is Windows, so...
[Nexus One General] earlyberd:
I use Handbrake in Linux, and there's a Windows version as well. On average I can convert a full length movie in 1080p x264 mkv format in about an hour.

I usually choose the default quality settings for iPhone, and then manually set the resolution to 800x480. There's some slight quality loss, but only noticeable if you watch the videos with the screen touching your nose.
[Nexus One General] MountainDrew:
Handbrake in Windows works great too. I use it all the time.
[Nexus One General] Karolis:
Avidemux and Miro are also great on Linux (there are Mac/Windows versions too).

Handbrake on Mac. As someone said above, use the iPhone default settings and then just adjust the resolution
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Conversion is for newbs.

Get Rockplayer and never worry about converting again. It will play avi, mpg, flv... anything you want.

For everything else I use EncodeHD. It's awesome.

This is what I've used in the past.

I generally do conversion to help save space. I don't need the full up HD resolution on my phone when the display is only 480*800.
[Nexus One General] teknoraver:
Right.

And the stock video player has HW acceleration decoding H.264 so better to compress anyway.

These are my scripts: http://teknoraver.net/software/mp4tools/
[Nexus One General] charnsingh_online:
Use Rockplayer, stop wasting time on conversion
[Nexus One General] cyberbillp:
Dvdfab to rip (de-protect) and Handbrake to encode.

Most movies are under 1gb.

Perfect on the phone, but if you play them on a 50 inch plasma you can detect the difference from the full dvd.

No experience with blu-ray yet.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
Use handbrake, stop wasting storage space on videos larger than your screen's resolution ;)
[Nexus One General] pakraider:
RockPlayer has been dethroned, try VPlayer!

along with all the usual filetypes, it also supports http/rtsp/mms streaming too :) it's on the market.

but I agree, if you have something large like a BluRay rip, then you ought to convert it down to a more manageable resolution to save some space on your SD card. Not like we have an HDMI output or anything to take advantage of the resolution after all ;)
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Storage space? Lol, this isn't an iphone. I have never gotten close to running low on my sd card, and I have entire tv seasons on it in avi format.

Hi,

is there a way to disable saving sent mails on Desire? I keep getting this cc sent mails on my Gmail interface, and I find it rather irritating. I found that I need to disable this, but can't seem to find it anywhere in my options. I'm using IMAP.

I know it is probably a nab question but I have fiddled with it for some time, alas with no success. Hope HTC did implemented this though, otherwise it would be a major flaw, like not being able to link your contact card with your email address.

Any insight much appreciated.

I resolve the HD2 problem for proximity sensor bug during call with this steps:

1. turn off vibration for connecting (go to dialer menu)

2. turn off dialer keypad sound (via HD2Tweak 1.2)

3. install Touch in call screen tweak 1.2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] papagon:
Hi !

Could explain a little bit the "proximity sensor bug during call" you're facing ?

Which ROM verison are you using ?

thanks a lot ! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] babakm2:
When I dial , the screen go off without any association with proximity!

both original & energy ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] papagon:
Hi !

Thanks for your answer...

My problem is slightly different, but involves radio ROM and winmo drivers, because everything was fine with stock ROM 1.48.406.1 and radio ROM 2.15.50.14.

Now that I'm using the stock ROM 3.14.406.2 (wich includes radio 2.15.50.14)

when i'm in a call, the screen stays off even if the phone is no longer on my ear...

So that's why I as interested by your solution, but it does nothing on my phone...

With this last official update from HTC, i'm now facing keyboard sensitivity issues (everything was alright with prévious ROM and HTC patch for the sensitivity), and this proximity sensor problem...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jonpickles70:
i find the case can make the sensor play up as most manufacturers dont account for the sensor
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] babakm2:
please explain more.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jonpickles70:
manufacturers dont put cut outs on cases or they arent big enough so the sensor is then covered

So I was copying some files to my SD card in Ubuntu (over USB) and then I unmounted the phone storage in Ubuntu and pulled the cable out of the phone. but it kept saying usb was still connected.. no matter how many times I selected disconnect USB, I couldn't access the SD card on the phone, and the computer wouldn't recognise the phone anymore either (then I tried Root Explorer) and the screen went off and the phone seemed to be off.. every time I pressed a button the phone would just give a short vibrate but nothing else.. then eventually nothing.. zip.. no button responce (tried holding down power button for ages, different key combinations.. safe mode etc).... no screen.. nada.. I thought I would have to re-flash the phone again.. but when I went to try and connect the phone in Flash mode to reflash firmware.. nothing happened.. like the phone was a brick :eek: (I was pretty upset by this point.. don't want to buy a new phone..)

then I pulled the sd card out.. and hey presto! instantly the phone was back.. it was still running everything was normal.. then I stuck the SD card back in.. it found it and now everything is honky dory.. :rolleyes:

anyway.. I just thought I would share.. in case this happens to anyone else..

I was like.. :confused: and then..:eek: and.. :( then.. :mad: then after I pulled the SD card out :D now still a little :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Smirny:
Hi!

Recently I've set up Missing Sync, but now I'm encountering two problems that annoy me a bit:

1. When I sync through USB the default path for the Markspace Folder is on / while via Wifi the Folder is created in /sd/. This means that I have duplicated folders and every media item shows up twice on my Galaxy. Is there a way to change the paths for the Markspace folder?

2. It seems that every time I sync the Photos, it deletes the latest taken ones and copies them over to the device again. Strange behaviour which doesn't take all too much time but it gets significant when syncing over wifi.

Hope someone can help me,

bye Smirny
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Smirny:
ok I've managed to solve these problems now (after 4 hours of intense pain ^^):

for 1.:

You have to change the path in "DeviceList" of the Missing Sync Application Support folder to sd\\MarkSpace\\Photos (or Music, etc.) when you want to sync via USB, then change it back to MarkSpace\\Photos when you want to sync via Wifi again. I created an Automator Workflow to have a quick switch on my mac.

for 2.:

I realized that it weren't the least taken pictures that brought up problems, it were .pngs. First it deletes all *.jpgs because they have no equal in the iPhoto Library and after that it converts the photos all over again -.- Just make sure you don't have .pngs in your iPhoto Library and the sync should just work fine.

-> what a buggy program -.- sometimes I wish my iTunes/iPhone sync back.

bye Smirny

I remain perplexed that Koush is not showing as having valid copies of these versions for the DINC on his web site.

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/

Only 2.5.0.5 and 2.5.1.1 show for the DINC. Because of that I moved to 2.5.1.1 via ROM Manager, and my phone REALLY started acting wonky (I know recovery should not affect operation). I wound up reflashing the stock radio (which includes 2.5.0.5) to get them both replaced at once (I have ALWAYS been stock radio; so I wasn't changing anything), and the phone went back to normal. No more random recoveries for me.

After the froyo update my phone has slow 30 sec delay moments. doing anything from opening the camera to opening the Internet. sometime pausing when scrolling Internet or phone menus. that kind of thing.

should i perform a reset?

I looked in the phone and it has an option:

factory data reset?

and some options backup my data

automatic restore

I did a titanium backup but there are a lot of backed up things, but i suppose i could work my way through.

My questions:

do i need to perform some sort of reset?

What kind (hard soft there seems to be a few options )

and how do i do it?

What do the backup my data /autobackup options in settings do?

Many Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
wipe data, wipe cache

then restore only user apps

and maybe user data

do not restore system apps/data

if it still give you problem after a while

repeat and only restore user apps, with no user data

it might be the user data that has gone corrupted

a way to find out if that is the case is by reading the logs....

any DEV guru will know what to look for (not me)

I was told i had DB corruption in another occassion when we were debugging a new app, and after killing everything and only restoring apps, the phone was stable and the random bugs were gone after that

Hi,

May be worth a try, i recently had the same issue on my stock galaxy s running froyo, after trying many things i read on a website about the galaxy s not being great on apps2sd, well as i have about 60 apps, i decided to move them all back to the phone and straight away it was fixed!!!! it used to freeze when i woke the phone up for about 20 to 30 seconds and while browsing and now its back to normal, if you have apps on your micro sd card, you can check this issue by installing os monitor, when it freezes open the os monitor and it is kswap0d that is using 70% to 98% of cpu causing the lag, don't know why this happens but it was very frustrating!!!!! hope this helps you anyway.
