thanks works great :D
[Epic 4G General] Eazail70x7:
I think you might want to do a full flash through odin using the dk28 .tar. I just flashed it onto my sister's phone and there is no rotation lag or checker boarding. I'm gonna flash it on mine...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861253

Update: Ok, I just played with her phone some more and her browser does checker board and the multitasking/ram management sucks still. The launcher was killed after being in the browser for 3 minutes. Her rotation is still way faster
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I will wait for a few guinea pigs with issues to try this and see if it indeed eliminates any issues.

I'm beyond sick of seeing flash progress bars and setting up my phone mulitple times at this point. ;)
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I just used ODIN to flash back to DG27. Got a GPS fix and ODIN flashed to DI18. Got a GPS fix and used ODIN to flash DK28 stock with root and clockwork.

I have the rotation lag. Takes 5 full seconds to rotate on websites.

I also have checkerboarding.

How can I flash through clockwork? I have no computer for a week or so. Sorry , I asked and have read as mych as I can but cant find the answer. Trying to go from DK17 to DK28.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
No computer? Seriously, with it pretty much becoming the consensus now that DK28 isn't the real official build (and just a test build), I'd wait.
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:
Download the DK28 ROM to your SD card.

Boot into clockwork and wipe everything 3x

Flash DK28 ROM
[Epic 4G General] biscojams:
I did that , but my modem is still DK17. I guess doesnt matter?
[Fascinate General] rudrn20000:

I am completely stock but rooted which method to get to froyo is for me?

sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:
I would use ODIN to flash the DK28 modem and reboot

Make sure while running 2.1 you use maps to get a GPS lock

Then flash the 2.2 ROM of your choice in clockwork
[Vibrant General] benifactor:
I have run into a couple problems. When restoring a backup through clockwork all three times I have tried it, it gets stuck on the vibrant screen and soft bricks. I ten have to Odin back to jfd. What am I doing wrong?

Also I have tried three 2.2 Roms and loved them all. The only problem with them is that they all are incompatibale with the game I play most. Its a problem with the android id, and jk2 and jk6 not changing them, therefore everyone has the same I'd if that makes sense. The game is world war. Has anyone gotten this to work using the leaked jk6?
[Vibrant General] Judgement5:
restoring doesn't change the kernel so you have to flash a 2.1 kernel after running your restore.
[Vibrant General] benifactor:
Thanks. Anyone get world war to work on one of the 2.2 ROMS?
[Vibrant General] bricked vibrant:
hey, i play a bunch of S8 games and have had no luck restoring my games on 2.2 I must flash back to 2.1 to restore my progress. i tried swapping acount with my S8 ID while running 2.2 and it just started me over. flashed back to 2.1 and all my progress was gone! had to swap again with my S8 id to restore, almost gave me a heart attack!!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloud_:
Well u can root your phone and then install barnacle or a wifi tether app to convert ur phone into a wifi router. ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smis:
will i still need a cable to hook up my phone?

Nop. with barnacle you will have an wifi connection. Anyways, you will want to have your charger at hand, as it eats battery.
[EVO 4G General] pbooras:
Hi,

I have successfully rooted mine and one other Evo with the November firmware update and hboot 2.02. I just rooted my brother's who had the August firmware update and hboot 0.97 using this method. After doing the last method, it flashed the hboot to 0.71 - I just left it at that and loaded the ROM and all is ok.

So, my question is: Do I really need to update hboot or the radios? Am I gaining that much more by updating than than risking bricking my phone?

Thanks, and thanks to so many people here - I proudly support the apps and ROMs I use.
[EVO 4G General] TheMagicalSock:
No. You don't need to worry about it. Your hboot is fine, especially considering Cyanogenmod no longer requires the Eng hboot. I've never risked it with radios and haven't encountered a problem.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
im not sure to update or not. people seem to be having alot of problems with this froyo update and some arent. i think its mainly due to not wiping. my main concern is ive seen some users not like the update and are having trouble going back to di18. anyone been able to use odin and go back to di18? if so did you use the older odin or newer and did you use the pit file? i dont want to update if i cant get back to di18. i have the older and newer odin on my computer. another question i know for the old version of odin you had to extract and thedirections for the newer one doesnt. anybody know why? thanks
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:
I used the original ODIN w/ the original PIT file... works fine. ODIN doesn't care what version OS is on your phone, it wipes EVERYTHING out
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
You can also flash the stock di18 rom using clockwork. Just make sure you do a data wipe and use a rom that formats the system before it installs.
[Epic 4G General] lilxflip:
is this method okay to use too?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861259
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I went back to DG27 from a Froyo rom using ODIN, which is 2 updates before DI18, so yea, ODIN doesn't care what you are flashing from and to.
[Epic 4G General] lilxflip:
so can i flash dk28 through odin if i already have dk28 installed
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:
ODIN doesn't look, know, or care what OS version is on your phone. What ODIN does is wipe out your current install and flash whatever TAR/BIN you put in there. You can flash DI18 over DK28, DG27 over DK28, whatever...
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
im been reading mixed results about whether or not the pit is needed to be used when using odin. does anyone know if you need it or not?
[Epic 4G General] dee32181:
the pit isnt needed...i went from dk28 back to di18 yesterday without the pit...i just used the di18 tar in the pda section.....one thing odin kept on saying md5 was invalid but i redownloaded the same di18 tar again and it worked.....this was on the most recent version of odin.:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrmexican87:
This is my first real XDA post, please be kind :D

This weekend I finally took the plunge and installed a custom rom. All I have to say is WOW, I now know what all the fuss is about. I didn't realize how slow the stock HTC Sense was until I got to tinker around with a few roms. I installed Myn's warm twopointtwo first and I didn't really enjoy it all that much. I then installed MIUI because I had read some blogs about it and I decided it was a much better fit for me. I just have two concerns:

The notification light on my Evo doesn't seem to be lighting up. I liked having it so I could know when I had a text/email/missed call without having to turn on the screen because my phone is on silent about 60% of the day. I use handcent for texting, gmail for email, and the stock dialer from the rom, but nothing seems to be lighting up the LED. The 4G wimax light will blink when I get a text, but only once and then it never comes back. I tried tinkering with the settings, even tried going back to the stock SMS app with no luck. Any ideas? I tried the Wimax Notifier app too on the forum and no luck at all with that.

Second, what is common battery life for this ROM? I have SetCPU with some settings I found in the forum (screen off with lowest CPU settings and high priority). I lost about 20% battery life in 5 hours. Seems pretty good, but I didn't touch my phone AT ALL during those 5 hours I was at work. Always keep screen light set to low, turned off haptic feedback and audible touch tones. Sitting at 52% with 8.5 hours unplugged. I feel like I was getting better battery life with my stock rom, but I refuse to go back.

I am sad that my angry birds has gone back to having no levels completed. I was pretty far but I don't know what to do about that.

Any help that anyone has would be greatly appreciated. I have to get back to studying! Finals coming up so I shouldn't really be tinkering with my phone, even though it is more fun. I love XDA and the people around here never cease to amaze me! Keep up the great work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrmexican87:
I did find something just now. If I activate the trackball light up notification settings it seems to do the trick. Odd, since the Evo doesn't have one but I will go with it.

Just want to get swype working on this bad boy and I am almost set.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] resetreflectt:
Hey, if you want swype just go to 4shared on your phone and search "Swype Evo APK".

Type it in like that exactly (without quotation marks of course)

and in the results it should be labeled "evo swype.apk" and say "this is a striped down, english onle, version of swype" under it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dkhilo:
This is the only MAME emulator I've found that supports the classic games. It emulates a GP2X game console which supports .34/.35b roms only. It doesn't seem to recognize the newer roms.

I can only find it by using the links on this page or scanning the QR Code with my phone.

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-jrioni-jarcade-qCqA.aspx

I had to use my phone and scan the QR Code with the Barcode Scanner App to open the page in the MarketPlace. If anyone could provide a link, it would be great as the GTab doesn't have the resolution to scan the QR Code as well as being a PITA with only one camera.

UPDATE: Tried to use my phone to blowup the QR Code to scan it as the link wasn't working for the GTab for some reason. Got it to scan with Barcode Scanner, but it linked to the same page in the Marketplace. It didn't make a difference though. It seems there is still something missing from the Marketplace implementation on the GTab and this is after the last Marketplace hack involving changing the build.prop. Sideloading after downloading from a device that can use this like appears to be the only way to go to load this for now.

TigerMAME, which is found easily on Android Marketplace only supports Neo Geo/CPS1/CPS2 games.

Once purchased and installed, you need to wait for him to send you a code to unlock and activate the emulator. It took more than 24 hours, so be patient.

I was able to convert some roms to work with this using his instructions on his blog:

http://jrioni-arcade.blogspot.com/2009/09/howto-rom.html

Playing with WiiMote Keyboard works. You will need to UNCheck the WM Sideways option in the keyboard settings for the WiiMoteIME Settings. The emulator assumes you're turning it sideways. The Wiimote is difficult to play MAME with, looks like it's time to buy a Classic Controller Pro!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
I wish it played the full set supported by GP2X, but it only works with about one third of the roms GP2X supports. I went through them all, since have full set for my Dingoo and PSP and used the app with G1, Droid and Incredible (probably one of the first people that bought his app in 2009).

Jioroni messed up, since this app and the PC Engine would have doen well, were it not for his code validation process. His efforts to prevent piracy actually has hurt him more than selling through the market straight.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dkhilo:
Yeah I was a little put off by the piracy precautions as well. It's scary when you have only 24 hours to return it and it takes almost 2 days to get a code. I did reprocess the roms as he had outlined in his blog post and a lot of them were able to play successfully. I have some issues maybe you might know how to solve like the galaga missing ship exploding sound or sounds in donkey Kong. I know in the PC version there was a sample directory to address this is there something like this?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
All common issues with MAME .34 & .35. Still young app back then.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] deadfraggle:
This project appears abandoned. No activity on the blog since 2009, and though Jarcade shows up in the market, if I try to buy it, I get a server error.

Are there any emulators that play the early Mame games from the eighties?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sark666:
I was actually surprised that mame doesn't exist for android. I want to play old-school 80's games and I think most would be perfect for android devices.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] deadfraggle:
Perhaps it's beause while the code is available, it cannot be used commerically, so no monetay gain for the wouldbe developer. I installed the Android sdk + all the other required software, just to get a feel for what would be involved in porting mame. The NDK might provide some help using the existing C code, rather than converting everything to java, but at this point I'm still learning how to import existing java code into my test projects.

The other problem as I see it, is that Mame runs with the command line or a frontend. I may be able to get some code for a java frontend, but adding it to the project and connecting it is beyond my current limited abilities.

There's also the source code MAMEUI, which has a GUI. Written for windows tho :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sark666:
Yes it wouldn't have a monetary gain, but that hasn't stopped people previously from porting mame to everything under the sun. The one device I thought would have it for sure, doesn't.

And yes a front-end would be an issue and add development time, and so would an a control overlay. Someone needs to standardize some game development tools one thing being virtual controls so other game developers who need on screen controls can just place say an 8 way controller and two buttons. But that's another matter.

Well, I hope mame gets ported one day but if it hasn't already I don't think it's just around the corner.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] deadfraggle:
I've been going through the Android SDK tutorials / layouts section and believe that creating a frontend may be the easiest part. Haven't yet learned how to pass values to from the Java frontend to the native C code, but I'm sure it's very possible.

The initial release of this theoretical MAME port could be without a control overlay. The user could use the navigation keys on their Android device if available, or something external like a wiimote.

Another thought is that perhaps MAME could be compiled for Android and launched via the command line in the Terminal emulator.

I've started a blog to document my efforts in bringing Mame to Android, and will be devoting most of my free time to this cause over the next few weeks. I'm sure it's just a matter of making the right connections in the dev tools.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jwhood:

is the nexus capable of handling a class 10 sdhc? or should i just stick with a class 4/6 card?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Yes, but you're not really going to gain much by using a class 10.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
i figured that but will it help with usb2.0 transfers?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cocchiararo:
i have one

its faster than my class 2 one, thats for SURE.

now, i never had a class 4 or class 6 to compare :P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
dang. anybody? i want to get a 16 gig card. can't find any info to the performance of a class 10 card on nexus one. i don't want anything less than 6 though which is still about half the 90+ dollars a class 10 would cost.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn541:
I use a class 6 and it's fine. If you want fairly cheap sd cards, go to microcenter. They have their own brand and they're much cheaper than the name brands. I've had mine for over 2 years and never had a glitch.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
a little info for the general user...

well, after doing some research here and there, it seems there is little reason to get beyond a class 6 card for the nexus. there is very little chance you will even reach 6 through an usb cable. it seems the most common speeds are 1-3 MB's a second. i generally get a little over 2 MB's and sometimes up to 3. the only reason to get a class 10 card is if you manually take out your card and slap it in a reader and directly transfers large files such as mp3's and video, especially if you do it often.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrmec:
as far as this SDHC card crap goes... THEY ARE NEVER as fast as they say.

I bought a class 4 card and it said on the dealership that it's 4MB/s transfer. Put it in the phone it went 1 MB/s.. WTF.. put it in a card reader... 1.5 MB/s.. returned it and demanded money back.

Then I got a class 6 from transcend. It's marked as 10 MB/s?! .. going on 4 MB/s sometimes 5MB/s in the phone. haven't tried it in the card reader though.

so my advice to you.. buy and return them until you are satisfied :D

Hey guys does anybody know how to replace the stock shutter sound in the stock camera app? Or is it even possible on the Incredible? I have tried everything to try and replace it but nothing worked. I have replaced the shutter tone in system/media/audio/ui which did nothing, as well as replaced the sound in the HTCCamera.apk in system/app which just made nothing play. I made sure my replacement file was exactly the same as the original down to bitrate and encoder, does the shutter tone need to be a certain length to work correctly?

So today I was at work and a little notification popped up about a software update. I just left it alone and went on with work. I come back from lunch and it updated itself and disabled all my apps and root. The SD nethod with Nooter does NOT work. The software version showed 1.0.1. I ended up returning the Nook as its pretty useless with no root & 3rd party apps for me. I will be waiting and seeing where this all pans out as more people get the OTA. Good luck!
[Nook Color General] dark79:
I haven't gotten any notification of an update and I've been using the wifi all day. Don't see anything about an update on the Barnes and Noble site or community forums.

Not saying it doesn't exist. But if so, it's quite odd for them not to officially announce it the way they do for the original Nook firmware updates.

Keeping my WiFi off for the time being though.
[Nook Color General] stwallman:
This is definitely not good news. Can someone else confirm this firmware update ? B&N is not showing any updates on their website and the community forum over there is not indicating anything either. Haven't heard anything over on MobileRead.com forums either. I'd imagine that someone else would've gotten this update by now (either rooted or not) and reported it.
[Nook Color General] houseofbugs:
I'm wondering if mine just happened to get caught in a glitch in their system. Like how some Android phones got updated randomly before others. Your guess is a good as mine. I guess we will see if anyone else got hit too.

The best option is to flash a new rom probably and it looks like good progress is being made there.
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
houseofbugs: Did you get a notification before reboot? My guess would be that these updates are installed from recovery, so there may be an interim solution to delete the file from internal memory if you get a notice.

Far from perfect, but better than nothing.

So nobody else has received this update ? I Googled for any info, checked out the BN forums and another forum dedicated to the NC and nobody else has reported any kind of software update.

Just as a precaution I called my gf and had her turn off my nook and turn off wifi on hers, not looking forward to going home and finding root has been broken.

If the Op didn't mess with the OTACerts.zip, then we wouldn't know. Op, did you disable updates as suggested in the thread above?
