[Droid Incredible Android Development] 86shelby:
I'm pretty sure tv out works on other (sense-less) roms, it's just a cyanogenmod issue. Use a different rom & it should work. I know nothing about video game systems past the ps1, so does the xbox 360 have bluetooth controllers? If it does, there should be an app on the market for it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ruggerxpunk:
The Xbox 360 controllers work via radio, not bluetooth. Just an FYI.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
Why not just get SNES9x for PC and hook up your pc to the tv via HDMI, use a bluetooth dongle to connect the wiimote to the pc for a controller and there you go. Thats what I do
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Crimton:
thats what i do too, the bluetooth dongle was $2 on amazon and everything else was already in place for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fryjr82:
I would also chip in $20! It is the only thing that I really miss of HTC Sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xaronax:
Bluetooth is required to connect the Wiimote to the phone. The Bluetooth stack on sense roms is a piece of crap and doesn't allow modern protocols.

As for the computer thing, I want to be able to do this in the car, at a friends, or anywhere that doesn't involve lugging around a computer. That's why I have a smartphone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sucker4pa1n:
From what I read they had to reverse engineer the entire HDMI stack to get HDMI working on the EVO -- I'm guessing they'd have to do the same to get TV-OUT working on the the DInc? Heh... or we could all save up cuz the DInc HD is alleged to be "revealed" on Jan 6th. A device that basically looks like a VzW EVO. ;P

But seriously... I'd give it a go and even help if we had source code. But I don't think you get source code when you reverse engineer...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] acslam:
+1 on this. There's got to be some way to get both bluetooth and TV out functioning on the same rom. The wiimote+tv out idea is pretty much the reason I got the incredible when it came out, only to discover that its now been nearly a year with no solution to this!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I may have to buy a TV-out cable and see if I can get some extra money! LOL!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] acslam:
Go for it!!! (connect 4!!)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ericlmccormick:
I will throw $50 into the pot for whoever gets this working. I know Netflix is not here yet, but I got the DInc so that once it did, I could stream to my TVs, specifically the one in my car.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] acslam:
AND ericlmccormick, FROM THE AUDIENCE, WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jpcdeux:
This donation to make a rom/tweak **** is getting insane. As far as Netflix, they say Android is too insecure of a platform, however a new phone that was just showcased had a NetFlix app icon on the homescreen. Hmmmm.....

I posted the other day about me losing my "google" connection (the Bars and the 3G indicator being green) well After the new update I have yet to lose this connection. Has anyone else notice this. I havent seen anymore complaints or anything so I thought I would just check to see if everyone agreed with me.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I've applied the update, but I still get periods of grey bars instead of green. I can still do network things like surf the web, though, even when grey.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suck3rs:
Have a new replacement EVO. The hardware version is 0004 with hboot 2.02 .

The keyboard will not give vibration feedback. I have flashed it numerous times without success. Is this a hardware part that is separate to vibration for notifications? Could this be a software issue brought by rooting?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Might be a dumb question, but have you enabled vibration feedback in the keyboard settings?

Does the phone vibrate at all? (like when moving an icon on the screen)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suck3rs:
I knew I should have included that in my post. Yes and yes.

I also just downloaded a vibrating app also to test. They work fine. I wonder if there is a hardware difference that is effected by the software.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhuff83:
How do I delete this on the EVO? I have rootexplorer and mounted as r/w but the app still will not come off the phone even after deleting the apk file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Las_Vegas:
From your terminal:

> [B]adb remount[/B]
> [B]adb shell[/B]
# [B]cd /system/app[/B]
# [B]mv Blockbuster_htc.apk Blockbuster_htc.bak[/B]
# [B]reboot[/B]

That should do it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
If you are using root explorer you have to be sure that you have full nand unlock. Or else it won't delete. And if you do have full nand unlock make sure you reboot the phone after deleting a system app so that the system can delete it.

Voodoo kernels for the Mesmerize can be found posted in the Fascinate forums here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871915 :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] afritchen:
Is the Mesmerize kernel in that link significantly different than the one in the Clockwork thread (page 2) in the Mesmerize forum?
[Samsung Mesmerize] minepanther:
is that link to the voodoo kernel good for the USCC mesmerize phones?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Yes, that kernal will work with the Samsung Mesmerize.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It is the same one.
[Samsung Mesmerize] minepanther:
done.. working good.. thanks. for all the help from everyone on the forum..
[Samsung Mesmerize] sreister:
OK I hate to do this in this thread, but I figure since this is the Mesmerize Voodoo kernel thread..

How do I do it? I read that I have to do this in the 3 button recovery? I'm confused about that..I just flashed into the Pick-n-Pack ROM, now I want this kernel. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Honestly, the easiest way to get into recovery is to get Quick Boot from the market. This way you can reboot, or get into recovery with a touch of the button instead of holding buttons. I use it all the time since I'm constantly reflashing things.

Once you are in recovery, just flash update.zip to get into CWM recovery. Next pick the option to install zip from sdcard, find the zip file, and install. After it finishes installing, just reboot. It will take a long time to reboot, don't worry. Just listen, it will talk you through what it is doing.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sreister:
OK, I think I understand, it's just that Quick Boot doesn't work..go figure. I click any of the boot options and it does nothing. What's the 3 button method? I don't mind because I won't be using it too often. Thanks.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Is your phone rooted yet? That app won't do anything unless the phone is rooted.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sreister:
Yes, unless I have to re-root it after I've flashed a rom to it..and I don't THINK I have to..?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
For some reason I had to do that, re-root the phone after I installed a ROM that is. Give it a shot and then your Quick Boot app should work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] obliviator33:
I have this kernel installed. My question is, if I flashed a different ROM that would replace the voodoo kernel with whatever kernel the rom is using correct?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
If you are going to flash anything, make sure you disable lagfix first. You can do that by either going into voodoo recovery and selecting voodoo and then disable lagfix, or you can put an empty file in the voodoo folder on your sdcard named disable_lagfix.

That said, if you are going to flash different ROM, check to see if it contains a kernel. They should say whether they do or not. I believe that all of the ROM's that are currently available for the Mesmerize are kernel free now. If it did have a kernel, then yes it would replace the one you have installed. If you are unsure and want to check for yourself, all you have to do is use 7zip or winrar and check the zip package to see if it contains a kernel folder in the first level. If not, no kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] obliviator33:
Thanks. I kind of assumed all ROMS came with kernels, but that is good to know.

When Froyo is released for this phone would you have to revert back to the stock kernel or just disable the lagfix in order to update to 2.2?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
More than likely, the update wouldn't recognize your phone as something it was supposed to go on, so you would need to flash back to stock. Unless of course, the 2.2 you get is a custom ROM, which could be possible depending on who gets it first.
[Samsung Mesmerize] zarakand:
Just a quick question, what is the benefit of going to the Voodoo Kernel?

I have rooted the phone, gone to JT's clean ROM, and used the OCLF. The phone seems amazingly fast compared to what it was stock. Part of me wants to do the Voodoo Kernel, just cause its there, but I don't know if there is any real benefit.

Thanks and sorry if this is a dumb question.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cloudstrife7:
Your post helped answered my question so I'll help answer yours. I was wondering if a rom with less apps would help improve performance, reading your post I'd assume it does. Have you tried quadrant to benchark your phone before and after?

I didn't install any other ROM, just the voodoo Kernel with lagfix - and I noticed a great performance boost difference. Quadrant score was 888 before kernel and now it's 1813. I'll post my score after I change my rom as well.

After flashing this I lost my vibrate functions for calls and sms. After a reboot it was fine.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Not a dumb question at all. OCLF is not a true lagfix. EXT2 lagfixes are placebo. They do speed up the phone, granted, and you will get a benefit. But the cost is a huge chunk of your phone's drive. With voodoo, you don't use up precious space creating a buffer. It creates an EXT4 Data partion saving lots of space. If you have Titanium backup, look at your Internal Drive... mine is 1.62GB with 1.39 GB free. and my DB data is 109 MB with 98.2 MB free. I have 192 apps on my phone. When I was using OCLF I had almost no Internal Drive left. Sure my Quadrant score looked good, but my it was inflated. Now, I know I'm getting the benefit of EXT4 plus all of that extra drive space. There really is a true benefit of using voodoo over OCLF. That and you also have added features in the recovery screen.

Hope that helps answer your question.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
Voodoo Kernel will work with any rom or? I still have rooted stock USCC.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BolecDST:
Hi,

My G1 is bricked, but that's not the point. I could rescue it, since I have access to fastboot, but actually I have newest radio and spl which is s-on so I can't actually write anything using fastboot and I don't have nandroid backup and flashed like 7 roms and they don't work (hanging on t-mobile logo). I could create goldcard and rescue the phone that way, but I'm just to lazy to go through that again (and besides I don't know any way to read microSD CID without phone), so I probably just gonna erase recovery and other partitions using fastboot and return it because it still has warranty.

But that's not the point!

I got Nokia E85 and E51 and I didn't make it to copy contacts from Dream to memory card, so now I'm out of luck. But I did a sync to google server. And now is my question.

Can I reach these contacts without using a phone?

Like through gmail or something? Because I need to get them and put them on one of these Nokia's.

edit: wow, that was lame question. They reside in gmail -> contacts. Thread can be closed now, sorry :)

Hello Earthlings,

I have a question posed to you all by me, SirNoobsalot. What i wanted to know is if someone wanted to get some custom kernels and roms and froyo what would be the best/safest way to do so. Here are the two options i know of:

1) Flash the ***** and when froyo comes out stock it then flash the ***** again.

2) Wait till froyo comes out (btw will this null the root?) then flash the ***** to a tested rom/kernel/theme etc..

Basically i wanted to know the rules of thumb for flashing and upgrading firmware. I want to avoid bricking as much as possible... for obvious reasons. I know its alwayse best to go to stock but this crap takes time, time that i should be using to do work at my office....LOL

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: All i have done is a one click root.... should i wait til froyo before i start flashing further to avoid confusion and compatability issues?

*Sorry guys if you have seen this before, i couldnt find it.... Blame it on the damn fragmentation of Android OS.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP PEEPS, appreciate it much!!! (srry for spelling)

[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:

Sweet, but I did not steal your thoughts if that is what you are meaning lol. I haven't used Perception since v4 so I had no idea you said this. But it really is a great idea and should be looked at by the Mods and Admin.
[Captivate Android Development] Sqdnguns:
Not at all, just glad someone else actually piped in on it.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
interesting idea.

If you do this you might consider making altering/combining the other forums slightly.

For instance

Make:

General = General / Q&A

and

Q & A = Development Q&A

This way non-dev with specific Development/Rom related' Q's could start threads under Dev. Q & A without cluttering up the General Q&A or the Development Threads.
[Captivate Android Development] fatttire:
I've always thought something similar to this. It seems like a frequent misperception among those with posts <10 that Q&A is for those that know nothing, and the development thread is where you go if you know anything about development (and then you can also post a question there)

I for sure thought this when I first came to XDA (luckily I read the stickies which made that clear). But changing the name could help.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Or another idea would not be to just completely lock the Dev thread to devs, but to perhaps have a minimum level of seniority/experience to post -- aka Senior members.

The reason that I say this is that there are a ton of folks that are not devs, but do post a lot of helpful troubleshooting information and/or feedback that not all the devs can answer personally. I would much rather the devs use their precious time on getting us the next version of goodness rather than answering a lot of questions.

If you do require some level of seniority (100+ posts for example) you can probably cut down on a lot of the typical questions that are repeatedly asked (and answered a few posts back) and have a much cleaner thread. It's not a perfect world, but offenders can be dealt with individually when you have a smaller pool.

Not to say that noobs shouldn't have a place to ask questions -- we were all there at one time, but we just make sure there is a different area for this -- not clogging the particular ROM thread.

I've seen several other forums and communities operate with this type of principle in high value areas. It also allows newer members to get their feet wet and contribute in other areas by posting for others if they want to post in the dev community (but lurking will always be allowed / should be encouraged).

Just my 2 cents.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
I have Stuck this as I agree 100000000000%. As far as locking the the Dev section, that has been talked about and is not going to happen anytime in the near future. My suggestion is for everyone and yes that means YOU to treat everyone with respect and dignity. If someone goes off I am almost always on and read every pm so let me know as I cant be everywhere at once and I am still learning as well.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Wow great ideas, I couldn't agree more. +1
[Captivate Android Development] Masacrk:
I like the idea of new post for new versions, I hope that would cut down on the flaming too due to missing a one line post on page 999 of 1200 that would answer the question.
[Captivate Android Development] nbs11:
I disagree with the 'only devs can post in the dev section' rule. While I would technically not be considered a dev (per se) because I do not know how to make a ROM I would still like to be able to post in that section things that are technically not ROMs but do not fit in general. For example, I created the Galaxy S unlocker for Mac, but I have not figured out how to make a ROM. Does that make me a developer or not?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
agreed man
[Captivate Android Development] magnumrt562:
+1 to the new ROM new thread idea. That would cut way down on the Old Salty XDA member yelling at the noob interactions.

Oh and i believe it should be illegal to call the Captivate a "Cappy" FYL
[Captivate Android Development] geokhentix:
Don't worry about the guide portion, I have a guide in the works that covers everything from installing drivers to the update-script.

Another thing I would like to personally add. When new users or the not-so-inclined make a thread asking for help, do any of us stop to realize why that thread ends up on the Development board? In my opinion, we need a board dedicated to SUPPORT. Yeah, we have Q&A, but Q&A doesn't say Support to a lot of people. Example, Q&A to me spells "Information", not "Support." Sure, the Q&A's may be intended to be "My phone won't turn on", or "My 3g doesn't work", but if that's the case, why beat around the bush and call it Q&A?

There are those of us out there who do enjoy helping newcomers, and answering their questions; regardless of what board they post on; and there are those of us who like to get deep into this, leave support for the less experienced and get *$&! done. Know how we could cut back on flaming, and on people posting in the wrong board? Spell it out for them, in big bold letters; "Captivate Support". Not only that, dev's could start up a sister thread for each ROM they do in the support board, that way the actual release thread isn't a mess.

Maybe I'm just dumb though. :D
[Captivate Android Development] bknust:
I have to say I particularly like the flaming rules. Sure, noobs are going to ask questions that everyone else has known the answer to for the past 5 months. I know it can get tedious reading these same things all the time, but remember that we once were noobs too, and I would bet most of us have asked "dumb" questions when first starting out. People are excited to learn about this stuff...let's not take away the spark with ad hominem attacks. They serve no purpose whatsoever, and no one wants to read them. If you don't want to answer, keep your mouth shut. If you do, do so politely either directly or (probably a little better), point them to a thread that will answer their questions. But come on, users calling a noob an "idiot" or "dumbass" for asking an honest question really pisses me off. And like I said, remember that you probably did it at some point, too. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now ;)
