md5 sum slow

Anyone know why the md5 sums are so slow to generate or check? Probably me just being anal again, but it really bothers me to wait that long.

Works like a charm! on my HTC INC. with new OTA update.

Everyone,

First of all pardon my ignorance. I am a newbie.

Q: I have a HTC Tilt2, and recently unlocked it with a T-Mobile SIM. Today I downloaded "Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.27.7z", and "Energy.RHODIUM.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.27.7z" roms.

What tool do I use to cook the phone?

Where can I find clear instructions?

Any preferrences between the 2 ROMS?

Thanks,

Reggie
[General Topics] AthenaLod:
well, let's get things cleared out first. "cooking" a rom means building a rom, made usually by a "chef". "installing" a rom is a different story, which is what most of the people do, download a rom, and then installing it on their devices.

there is usually a rom section in your phone's forums, find them and there should be a full guide for rom "installation".

there are usually some differences between custom roms, which one is more appropriate for u depends on u, and might be different that what others prefer.
[General Topics] deliberate187:
Ditto. "Cooking" a ROM is something that requires a lot of skill and usually an SDK plus some tools. Installing one is much easier, and the ROM has already been tested so if you follow the instructions carries a smaller risk of "bricking" your device.

But then again most "chefs" know how to "unbrick" just about anything they've been "cooking" on :)
[Nexus S General] manook:
Just picked up a new nexus s (new years eve) from carphonewarehouse in brighton and it has an SLCD. Is this common in uk as i thought it was just happening in russia etc..????

I have an AMOLED Desire so i can see a massive difference and about to return it. Any benefit in SLCD???
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
Wring section but I don't know any.pros over super amoled.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Really? Damn that sucks. The screen is probably my favorite thing about this phone.
[Nexus S General] Fuse8499:
SLCD? What a ripoff. Why aren't they using Super Amoled???
[Nexus S General] manook:
Yeh a little peeved as the demo one I tested was AMOLED but the one in the box wasnt. Grrrr
[Nexus S General] 651stp:
super amolded = the best, period.
[Nexus S General] brian6685:
Uh how can I check what screen mine has?
[Nexus S General] mortzz:
Look at it.
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
The major difference is when looking at the image with black background.

As SAMOLED has unlimited contrast, black is totally black.
[Nexus S General] momohammed20:
only the russian nexus s models have slcd. can't find the link to the article, but I remember reading about this.

edit : here's the article http://androidcommunity.com/nexus-s...d-in-russia-instead-of-super-amoled-20101207/
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
OMG!!!!!!!! noooooooo, i hate it when the manufacture process changes half way through the release of a product (example HTC Desire)

i'm glad our batch in USA has SAMOLED.... but what will happen after if we need to send in our for repair? are we going to lose the SAMOLED to be replaced with a Sony LCD ? like they did with the Desire?

ewww....

i think i'd rather go back to a Tmobile Vibrant if that ever happens
[Nexus S General] nohcho:
Well slcd has it benefits. First you get regular RGB pixels instead of ugly Pentile. Second LCD's are not prone to "burn in" and shioter life of amoled. There are toms of threads about samoled burn in and rapid dimness.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
hahaha. i cant believe this. what a total f*** up.
[Nexus S General] windandrain:
It couldn't be. My friend just purchase one for me in carphonewarehouse. If it is slcd, I'd rather her return it. Confirm?
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
the only reason i purchased this phone and SGS was to get the SAMOLED screen

if it was not for it, there are tons of better choices for an Android phone

there is simply nothing else better that can compare to the crispy clear quality of the SAMOLED

and most importantly it works under bright sunlight
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
You think so?
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
They can't write Super AMOLED on the specs and sell a LCD, can you add some pictures of the screen?
[Nexus S General] sporran:
I'd be surprised if you have a slcd screen! When the phone is off does your screen have a dark blue(ish) tinge to it? It does look different from a simple amoled screen, did some one tell you from carphone warehouse that it was scld?
[Nexus S General] AndyCr15:
This is very unlikely, surely?

As someone has said, the SAMOLED screen is one of the major selling points. If it didn't have it, I'd probably stick with my Desire HD!

It's almost like swapping in a 600mhz CPU and selling it.
[Nexus S General] gogol:
Are you sure it is SLCD?

Do we have a really solid way to check this?

Probably by using image with different shades of black? Then turn the contrast to max or something.

Post comparison photo with your HTC Desire please ...

[General Questions and Answers] starman1695:
PC Companion is NOT a solution

I've tried updating with PC Companion several times. Sometimes it indicates my phone already has the latest software, sometimes it downloads "something" but nothing changes in my phone. None of this matters now since I have managed to update with some help from XDA and You Tube. :) Thanks, XDA!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrius:
I know there is an .apk around for it, but am just wondering if the new market is something Google is slowing rolling out to everyone?

When i was running a sense based rom the market automatically updated itself to the new one, but now am running Oxygen Gingerbread and so far it's still on the old market, as i said i know there is a .apk for the new market i could use to update, but am just wondering if will update itself at some point?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitar4Him:
I have a Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile version). The file locations on this version are somewhat different than most other Android devices. Specifically, the internal memory is partitioned into a system/user area and an area that it identifies as "sdcard". I have an external micro SD card and it is identified as a folder on "sdcard" called "external_sd". By default, Titanium Backup places the backup files on the SD card. Unfortunately, on these T-Mobile Tabs, that means that the backup files are actually located on the internal memory. I would really prefer to have the files located on the external SD card. I can't find any settings in TB to change the location of the backup files. The only alternative I can see would be to manually copy the files from the "sdcard" to the "external_sd".

Thoughts...opinions?

Ken
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Just change the backup folder in Titanium to external_sd/TitaniumBackup.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitar4Him:
Duh.....I can't believe I stared at this issue for as long as I did and didn't realize this. I was trying to find some setting in TB that would allow a change to the External storage location (which can't be changed), not realizing that I could achieve that using a full path name for the Backup directory (which can be changed).

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaldood:
I am eligible for an upgrade and currently looking at different phones on AT&T network. Either iPhone or Captivate. As I have an iPod touch I am bored with iOS so Captivate is my choice.

But I am wondering that has the GPS issue been fixed? Although I do need the GPS 60% of the time.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
The Captivate has become a great phone because of the support from many people. The GPS really works well! It will work more than 60% of the time for you. The Rom's are really great and we have several so that is positive. But if you haven't heard about the new Moto phone that should be announced at CES in a couple weeks I would check that out. I don't know when or if it is a true or just rumored phone but at least we will now start getting better high end options beside the Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaldood:
Is the new moto phone for AT&T?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
It is a matter of preference. If you are not one who is going to root your phone and get into custom roms and tweaks the iphone may be best, but as you stated ios is boring, and I will add rigid.

I had an iphone 3g for 2+ years. I am very happy with my captivate, but I am constantly tweaking, flashing roms, etc. there is no official gps fix for stock although some do not have problem with gps on stock. Custom roms have largely fixed the gps.

On my iphone the day I turned it on it looked and behaved the same till the day I turned it off, my captivate changes daily. 2.2 froyo is not available for the captivate, I have been running 2.2 for months through custom roms, I am currently on 2.2.1.

I can not stress enough if you want safe and easy the iphone is great. If you want an adventure and love to F around with things go with a captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaldood:
Oh yes.. I love to F around a lot. I am a total geek and do crazy stuff with my JB iPod and computer all the time. But my current Nokia E71 is dependable but boring at the same time. That is why I want to upgrade.

I might get the Captivate from Ebay as I don't want to get into another Contract with AT&T.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Not unless it is brand new, why take on someones problem?

It is easy to unlock if you wanted to

Question, windows pc or mac. If you have a mac it will reduce your ability to safely tweak.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaldood:
Oh yea... I am looking at new in the box phones on Ebay only. And I am on Windows7 btw.

And how does the Offline GPS work? Is it reliable without network coverage as well?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I never use cellular location, only pure gps. Lock in less then 10 seconds, tracks well, turn by turn voice directions.

Once again I am on a custom rom

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Of late most of the guys here have GPS working. Plus when I got my refurb Captivate with JH7 stock, I got a good GPS lock.

When u go to buy one, turn on GPS and check how it works. If it works, cool, keep it. U could ask the sales rep there to provide u a sim to test it out.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonu:
quick question as i did a couple of searches but never got any results is the only way at the moment to unlock a G1 to buy codes online or get them through tmobile?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianC:
There aren't really any more ways. You could get a "free" sim unlock at this site (http://www.freeunlocks.com/) but I do not know about their credibility. They have a face on facebook and seem legit but ask someone else to make sure.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
You need a code, or a turbo SIM (code is better, cheaper).

Tmoible are the only people giving them out for free, they're only meant to give them out if you've been a customer for 3 months (just phone up and say you're leaving the country for a few days, flirt with the rep etc).

If you're going to buy a code get one on ebay, that way you know the testimonials are real.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianC:
AT&T also gives free codes but 3 months like T.mobile.

Do all turbo sims work on the G1 because I was planning to buy one but it did not have the G1 model listed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Why? Codes are cheaper, and once they're entered the phone is unlocked for life. Or are the codes not working for you?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianC:
No, I bought a code already but it was 7.75 USD which is kind of expensive.. (turbo sim is less than 2 USD on ebay)

[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
do you really think someones going to give you a apk for free for a app that costs 20 dollars?

get out of here, xda doesn't support warez.
[Android Apps and Games] Smcvail:
I don't have the file to share. But I do have the app and I just wanted to let you know it is very good. If it is something you would use it then it really is worth the money. They made it just like the Construction Master Pro w/trig. Pony up the money you won't regret it. It is not like their app for windows mobile that's like $60. That just doesn't seem right but $20 while pricey atleast seems fair.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeezyFn'Baby:
Ok so I started the method previously posted before it was linked back to nbecthers method because it supposedly works but I flashed the clockwork it wouldn't flash my custom rom (CM Mod 6.1.1) and returned me to the stock then I tried the correct method and it won't let me adb push flash_img/data/local or mtg0.img to data/local either so I can't cd, chmod the commands to then boot into the stock recovery and flash esprimg.zip followed by clockwork(update.zip cause its already applied but NAND protection stops it from working I guess) because I no longer have a stock recovery to exploit or whatever I have clockwork I have since used androot and root explorer for root used to copy flash_image and mtg0.img to data/local and exploid is in the sqlite_stmt_journals as it should be... So can I run the commands to run flash image and mtg0.img and exploid again from and android shell off my phone with su permissions from androot temp root and then flash a custom image or am a screwed? Or should I run the exploid command toggle wifi and then the flash/mtg commands from android shell or what cause I'm away from a pc and I need to do this to my phone plus it goes to the triangle screen and nothing works I gotta pull the battery...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaldiar:
Honestly, start from ground zero of the updated for 12/30 root method and you will be just fine. Just messing around earlier today I unrooted and rerooted my phone a few times. Stick with eugene373's method from step one on and things should work fine.

I don't think we can boot an android build from an android build seeing as how clrcad and haret was build for winmo. >.> but looking at the magdlr notes, if i'm wrong, it has an option to boot android from SD or to boot from NAND, so guess that means you can have an android build in SD and NAND.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nokn956120:
I understand that a Nand build on SD card will work the same as Nand build on phone, that makes perfect sense.

Question is, is the SD card memory used for application files or will it use up all the memory on my phone like Nand on phone does? Is it possible to use a data.img. Of course, the perfect solution would be to add the option in Magldr (Nand) to boot into recovery so the SD card could be partitioned for files and ext3 for extra application system files like we can with a normal Android phone. Then the need to add another Android rom onto the SD card just for extra storage would not be needed for us European users.
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
I have several videos on my external SD card and can open and see them with Gallery>Stock Player, but not anything else. The stock player plays the vids, but because of the format they play choppy. I tried using Rockplayer free to play them but each time I tried it said it could not open the file. This was done using Gallery and selecting default app to play vids. On Rockplayer itself, it does not detect the external SD card or the external media.

Anyone figure a way around this? Or is this still a work in progress?
[G Tablet General] vsc:
Go into options on Rockplayer and change the root directory to "/" or "/mnt". Then you will find "..", select it and work you way over to sdcard2. Also set the option to show all files, not just media. Rockplayer will play more than it would suggest by what it shows.
