[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcumsk:
1) A while ago, I heard that removing those two apps was not recommended

2) I tried 3 GB keyboards so far and none of them had haptic feedback working

3) I'm not a big fan of the espresso rosie that's included with the Fresh roms. Where can I find the stock sense rosie? I heard that it can be updated with Fresh Updater but I removed that app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
There is no problem removing the apps from question 1.

2) did you try messing with the settings for the keyboard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaselp1:
haptic feedback works...when your keyboard is up...press menu and go to keyboard settings...then choose vibrate on keypress..it should work...if it doesnt let me know and i can post the flashable keyboard i used that has haptic feedback working
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vcumsk:
You're right, I had heard that it didn't work at first which is why I didn't bother checking the settings. Thanks!

And I found the stock rosie from ava's z1 rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
Sorry if I'm being dim, but when did the market refund policy change from 24 hours to 15 minutes?! :o

Did I miss an announcement? Has anyone else been caught out by this?

Just bought a couple of apps by mistake. :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
The change was very recent. It does state at the Google Checkout page that refunds are available within 15 minutes, but if your not looking for it you wont see it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Yeah it's gimp. It will take at least 15 minutes for the data for an app like, say, copilot to download to your sd card. In effect it means you can't trial apps like that one anymore.

Sent from my Gingerbread eating Desire HD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
I only briefly look at the checkout page, to make sure the payment details are correct. I would have expected a one time pop up box, like some apps give after an update. There was probably a new agreement when I upgraded the market and it was buried in the small print. :(

It's such an extreme change, an hour would be better, if it has to be lessthan a day.

Still, not much we can do about it I suppose...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
I think it will be counter productive.

They changed it because devs were complaining that people were installing their apps, doing what they needed to to, then uninstalling and refunding. I'm kind of curious how they met this conclusion. Maybe people were trying the apps, finding they weren't for them and then refunding them.

Personally I'm a lot more reluctant to trial an app now if there is no free version I can test. I mean its so easy to forget or get interrupted during the 15min period then you may end up stuck with some crappy app you didn't really want.
[G Tablet General] Alex ferreira:
I recently flashed the Vegan rom to my g tablet. Everything worked fine, but as I was setting up, the system crashed and now I am getting a boot loop. How do I proceed so I can fix this?

I have a micro SD card, and I have CWmod installed.

I fixed it by repartitioning my SD card. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Beat me to it. :)
[G Tablet General] tynris:
i am getting the same thing "boot loop" after vegan 5.1 but i dont have a micro sd card with anythinng on it what do i do
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
If you try to "repartition the SD card" in clockwork, it will repartition the internal memory, and likely fix your problem. 2048 / 0. Note, you'll lose all data on the card, so backup first.

If that doesn't help, clear your cache and dalvik cache.
[G Tablet General] tynris:
i have nothing to back up
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
Let us know if it doesn't work, but I suspect that will fix your problem.
[G Tablet General] tynris:
fixed lol i love you all here at XDA
[G Tablet General] KabutoRyder:
I select partition SD card in clockwork?

Then it goes to

Ext Size

128m

256m

512m

1024m

etc.

So what do i choose? Or am I on the wrong part of the CW menu?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
2048 and 0
[G Tablet General] rtreider:
Interesting how repartitioning didn't work for me.
[G Tablet General] KabutoRyder:
Odd. I just went back into CW and re-did it and it booted up fine.
[G Tablet General] iksnae:
thanks! worked perfect.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:
This is a cross post from my mau5 ROM thread, but I think other people might enjoy it too.

I've put together an update.zip that allows for 480x320 recording via camcorder. Currently, our device only allows 352x288(high quality), this simple hack just allows a greater resolution and I think a clearer picture IMO.

I've set 352x288 as the default "low" quality and 480x320 as the default "high" res recording so that you do have a choice whenever you want. I've also changed the file format to mp4 instead of 3gp since well.. no one uses 3gp for anything.

There are few drawbacks though. 480x320 is the last somewhat "stable" res where the OMX core won't **** bricks all over the place so be weary of any force closes. Also, gralloc likes to crap out when switching resolutions on the fly along with being unable to view the 480x320 video in the gallery app (since we have such bad gfx power).

I do plan on making this STABLE at one point, but it'll require kanging some memory for gralloc to use while changing resolution.

You can check for yourself on the differences with a 352x288 recording and a 480x320 recording

(low light vs direct light)

You can see an example of a video I shot last night at a xmas party HERE to see 480x320 when it comes to more 'motion' recording. (Warning: White people dancing)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
Awesome. I remember darchstar had unstable 720p in his aosp rom. Glad to know someone is still working here ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:
I've always been messing around with it. The proprietary blobs just get in the way a lot and you end up at a dead end with no resources. :/
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] brokentoaster24:
When are you due for an upgrade? I'm trying to follow the hero devs so I know what to get next
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BlaqkAudio:
Works great. You said we're unable to watch videos in Gallery, but I can view them. I just shot a test 480x320 video.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raymond4:
Does this work with Aosp rom
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:
Not sure. Nandroid and find out :P
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] riggsandroid:
Why is the video quality in the CM/AOSP ROMS so bad? I know you said the 480x320 is better, but looking at both of your vides, while hte content was not fun (white people dancing never is) the quality is just unwatchable.

Just curious because on the HTC ROMs it is at least somewhat decent.

Not crapping on what you're doing here Dec, but just trying to understand what you're dealing with.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:
I get bored. You can only push the framerate so high on either quality, and the hero itself has never had that good of recording capabilities.

The htc roms are 'decent' looking because their encoding is handled better and optimized for the proprietary omx libraries which we have no source too :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kyouko:
I was going to mention the video recording quality not more than two days ago :eek: and was messing around with the app a little here and there, but no need for that now ;)

Thanks again Deca
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bray424:
Does the now low quality 352x288 save as mp4 as well?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:
Yes it does.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] hero32:
bro that video was priceless lol thanks for the little upgrade
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oohaylima:
The quality is definitely superior compared to the standard. I can't thank you enough. You continue to breathe life into my Hero. Arigato!!

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Decad3nce:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oostah:
Hay decad I'm on asop and flash this the only thing I see so far is that after taking video it fc no big deal. When I got to video info it shows mpg4 for mat like it should. I think. If I go to video setting it show some thing different and can't change it. So it works for the most important part the video. Zoom works too

it seems like at least one person is still dedicated to making our htc hero cdma camcording quality better it may not be 720 HD but.... I can't wait to see your future camcorder improvements
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] norm12:
Flashed over jaybobs 12/17 blackmod and am impressed with the quality. I saw that you want more stability for future versions----what's buggy on this one? Its working great
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] liquidtenmillion:
Touch to focus does not work in the camcorder on this build. When you touch to focus on the camcorder nothing happens, it does not focus. Touch to focus works fine in the camera, and continuous focus works fine in the camcorder, so it's only a problem with touch to focus on the camcorder.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] norm12:
oh yeah, gotcha! I hadn't tried that for the camcorder yet. no worries there, I can live without that
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ch1naski:
Hmm. I'm not getting the Mpeg 4 option to activate. I SEE it, but it stays at H263. It's not letting me choose it. Should I have uninstalled the old apk first?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oostah:
I had same thing if you take a pic or video. Go to it in you albums and go to info and it shows that it is in mp4 format. I think he set it as the default.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Los Altos:
I dowloaded and flashed the zip, but now I cant figure out how to activate the new settings. I just realized that CM6 doesnt have any advanced camera settings that allow you to change the resolution?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] liquidtenmillion:
Yes it does, open the camera app, switch to video, change the preset to custom, and then hit that preferences button and configure away.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] oohaylima:
I get no luv when I do that. Not complaining since I like the default settings anyways.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] darthfruitloop:
Seems good to me

I flashed it on mine and it seems very stable so far. Slightly better quality and stable so what else is there :)

I don't know how this could possibly be considered warez… FireFox has long been able to emulate an iPhone web browser by simply changing the User Agent to 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; OS X Leopard 9A365; en) KHTML'. I imagine a similar action could be taken to make it appear to be an android browser.

[EVO 4G General] Novarider:
You just need to set your user agent to android on whatever browser your using.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Do you have to download off that site or is there anyway to stream it
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
Did you bother to try it? It streams to the native android player...
[EVO 4G General] Novarider:
You can stream or download with the phone. With a computer you just download it
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
The streaming only works in the stock browser. Not in opera mini or mobile. Those two are download only.

Also if you have a HDMI cord the streaming media player will output it to your tv.
[EVO 4G General] Novarider:
Streaming works with Dolphin browser also
[Ideos S7 Themes and Apps] movadoevo8:
Hey guys if i install either Launcher pro or ADW home replacements everything seems fine works great.. However when I attemp to add a widget to the screen I can't seem to get that to work. For example if you long press on the desktop and the menu comes up for you to choose the widgets menu... once i click on the widgets menu nothing happens.. No list of widgets ever show up.... Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Therefore I get stuck using the stock Home screen....Help would be appreciated, thanks.

The S7 only allows widgets in the default home launcher. No others will work. I've tried.

If you have the $2.99 paid version of Launcher Pro you can add additional widgets from LP, but not the standard Android widgets. I'm kinda hoping they change this at some point.

My boot animation is working ... timing works, images appear correctly, sequencing, etc ....

The only thing I noticed, is that it will occasionally boot twice. Anyone else have this issue with their custom boot animation? it doesn't even do it every time ... most times it only boots once, but occasionally, it gets to the lock screen, and starts up the phone again.

I looked around, and most of the info I could fine was people being stuck in boot loops, which is not the issue for me.

Anyone got any ideas? ( I'm new to this, go easy )

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickrows:
I've been lurking these forums for awhile now, and have been able to figure things out by researching. But I'm having a little trouble with this. Earlier today I was flashing Nero V3, and had a bad flash(after it finished formatting data). Instead of reflashing another rom while in CWR, I rebooted the phone. This brought me to where I am now, stuck at the Vibrant screen. I can get into DL mode, and get Odin up and running. But Odin wont recognize my phone, and I dont know what to do to get it to work.

I've tried 2 versions of Odin with the same results, and at this point I'm stumped. What can I do to get Odin to recognize my phone?

Any help is greatly appreciated

-Nick
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjwisniewski:
Do you have the PC drivers for your phone installed?

If not try installing the drivers from here:

32 Bit Windows Download | 64 Bit Windows Download

Also, if you have Kies running by chance, it might help to close Kies and not run it while also trying to run Odin.

After making sure your drivers are installed correctly try multiple USB ports. Sometimes the ports are troublesome.

Can your Vibrant be recognized by your computer outside of Odin? If so what version of Odin are you working with?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickrows:
guess that was the problem. I had them downloaded, just not installed. Thank you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tronogy:
Hi I installed the drivers and pc still doesnt recognized my phone in download mode. Is there a way to get back to stock without using Odin?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goose0121:
Dude try this method of getting intro download mode.

1.remove the battery from your phone

2.plug the phone in USB to your computer

3.reinstall the battery in your phone while holding the phones power & volume buttons.

That should skip the vibrant screen and power strait to download mode..hope this helps

[Fascinate General] heywhat:
I recently got a Fascinate and I've noticed that, compared to my dad's Fascinate, the color balance is significantly more blue on my phone at all brightness levels and is especially noticeable when looking at a primarily white webpage such as google's. While it's probably not something I would've noticed had I not had another screen to compare it to, it has really been bothering me and I'm wondering whether I should try to have it replaced before my 30 days is up (It just so happens today is the 30th day).

In trying to find info on this issue I've come across a lot of conflicting accounts about color balance problems on the SF. Some say their phone has the blue tint while others complain of a yellowish tint. One of my worries about exchanging this device is that the blue tint may actually be preferred or even intended on Samsung's part because according to the wikipedia article on OLED:

The problem is there is no citation given for the section in bold so I cannot be sure if manufacturers are actually using this method. It's possible Samsung uses the "more common" method and my device is simply a defect.

Has anyone had a similar experience with their screen?

Can anyone confirm whether this is intentional or unintentional on Samsung's part?

Do you guys think I should try to get a replacement?

tl;dr

My SF has a bluish tint to the color balance, should I try to get it replaced?
[Fascinate General] tcub:
Hmm I noticed my replacement Fascinate had a purplish tint (mainly towards the bottom) on the screen.. This was not apparent on my original.. May it rest in piece(s).
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Search for the voodoo project(?) on google.

Btw my screen is more blue than my girlfriends even when I have color fix. Not a big deal.
[Fascinate General] Gurm:
My Fascinate has a yellow tint - very slight at full bright, but rather noticeable when the phone downshifts to low-brightness.

The one at the store was similar, so I didn't worry about it, but the voodoo folks have a color fix. I have avoided voodoo thus far, so I have no idea how effective it is.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
color fix only works at 100% brightness.

[Nexus S General] IDtheTarget:
I used to have a Vibrant, and had rooted it and running the various excellent Team Whiskey ROMs. I paid for the full version of Titanium Backup, and it was a great tool.

But I don't want to root my Nexus S.

Call me silly, call me paranoid, I dunno. I just don't feel the need to root it. I'm very happy with it stock.

But I'd still like to back up my phone, in case of catastrophic failure. I'd also like to do the same for my wife's phone, in case she drops this one down the toilet accidentally like she did her iPhone.... :)

So, is there any decent backup tool out there for those of us who DON'T want to root our phones?
[Nexus S General] hah2110:
My backup pro
[Nexus S General] anstosa:
I understand not wanting to root the N1 but the NS bootloader re-lock is as trivial as the bootloader unlock and if you know what rooting is then you probably already have adb installed. I don't see why you wouldn't. There are not cons at all...
[Nexus S General] nxt:
MyBackup Pro, pay for it, you can back up phone settings, calendar, contacts, sms, mms, etc..etc. both to the internal storage OR auto upload to free cloud storage!
[Nexus S General] IDtheTarget:
Yep, I have ADB already installed, because I want to write software for the phone.

That being said, there are a few downsides that I can see:

1) Rooting the phone leaves it open to malware attack. Yes, I know that SuperUser requests access from the user prior to granting elevated privileges, but the possibility remains. One reason I like Ubuntu: sudo. :)

2) I'm leaving the country for a year, and need to support my wife and her Nexus S via email during that time. I want to keep my environment essentially the same as hers. I could root both of our phones, but she's not a geek like I am, and is much more likely to download a program that would take advantage of root.

3) From what little I've read, unlocking the bootloader erases everything. Not a huge deal, but a nuisance I'd like to avoid.

So I'd like to get a backup program that my wife and I could both use, that doesn't require root (to protect her), and I have absolutely no problem paying for it.

Thanks!

There are more members that appreciate their work than there are that do not.
