Ok, got it, using the Rom manager app it says "Backup Current ROM" and not android. Click on that and you're good to go.

If you are entering recovery using power and vol down or a power off app like quickboot, you won't see an option for nandroid right away either, its under backup/restore.

Sorry it took so long to reply. Driving.

so froyo is a rom??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomathplz:
its like the operating system on your phone like windows to your computer the rom is like installing the latest and greatest but its not made by samsung so most of the time depending on what rom you put on your phone you'll have less bloatware which is crap you dont use and takes up space
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomathplz:
but make sure that you follow the instructions to the tee if you do it wrong you can mess up and you'll have to figure out how to get back to making it work

nandroid backup its in the clockwork so you'll reboot into recovery this would be a good time to see if you can get into recovery with your keys your going to want to hold down vol +,- and pwr when the vib screen comes up let go of the pwr button then the rest if it goes into recovery the you should be ok if it doesn't then me myself wouldn't worry about it cause i already mess up one phone because i loaded something wrong and couldn't get into that screen but my new phone worked perfect

Any workarounds for a voip app and microphone for a rooted book color?
[Nook Color Accessories] bigted41:
the cool guys that know what they are doing are working on bluetooth, that seems to be the best bet to getting a microphone working with NC, cross your fingers!
[Nook Color Accessories] madfatter:
what about a wired headset with a built in mic. does the nook have the connections to support this?
[Nook Color Accessories] KryptoNyte39:
I think the two best options right now for voice applications are probably the Bluetooth and the slight possibility that the micro-USB port on the Nook seems to have quite a few extra pins on it, which may have left B&N open to a proprietary connector that would allow for additional device connectivity via the micro-USB port.

I've purchased a number of micro-USB adapters in order to plug various devices into the micro-USB port of the NC, with zero success (keyboards, USB headsets, mice, etc). Clearly that port isn't currently operating in that manner, and I'm sure there's a tech savy person that could drop in and give us a simple answer to why this is.

I was also curious about the headphone port possibly have mic capabilities, and was about to purchase a single post headset to test the theory, but then I took a (very unscientific) look at the headphones jack, and it would appear that there aren't enough ring connectors inside it to support an additional channel. Obviously the guys doing the tear-down would know far more about this than myself.

We'll see what turns up over the coming months.
[Nook Color Accessories] isolated_epidemic:
Found this teardown post with spec list and it says that there is no mic input in the headphone jack. I know I read another teardown post which I cannot find that indicated the same thing. I agree that our best bet may be getting the bluetooth working.
[Nook Color Accessories] :
Can you detail what sort of adapters you tried? Have you tried a gender changer (type a-a female-female) on the end of the nook cord attached to a keyboard?
[Nook Color Accessories] nrune:
Someone correct me if I am wrong but, in order for the usb to do something other than just charge and connect to the PC from the usb, you would have to activate USB host, which is not turned on in stock. Hence no of the fancy toys will work. There are a lot of funky pins on the connector so it may have to be some funky adapter, assuming you get usb host running. There are a lot of hackery potential, but until that project is completed, the wait for bluetooth continues.

Go Occip! (the guy hacking the bluetooth.)

[Nook Color Accessories] agarber1:
This is what I've been thinking about. I don't have the ability to figure out how to activate the USB Host function, but I read several posts about how it worked on N1, D1, and Hero.

The thing I want to try is using a micro USB to 3.5mm minijack cable like those that came with the G1. It's the only thing I could think of that could logically be supported by the default system since it was necessary in 1.5 on that device.
[Nook Color Accessories] celticchrys:
I don't think anyone is using VOIP yet, but you may be very interested in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989637

I'm running the CM7 image via SD card from that thread, and the Bluetooth works, and I can connect to my phone and my headset. Several people can connect to their standalone GPS units. Worth watching.
[Nook Color Accessories] daemonfly:
Anyone know if the micro USB port is even powered?

On a lot of phones, the USB connectors aren't powered by the device (like my HD2), so you have to hack together a proper setup that supplies power.

Has anybody yet hacked the DEFY to expose this supported capability ?
[Defy General] ellendel:
Sorry but allegedly, it is not supported.

Hardware limitations.
[Defy General] Sutitan:
Wouldent it be limited just by the CPU support? If its the 3630, then it would support 720p

focus.ti. com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12836&contentId=52606

delete the space between ti. and com for the url to work. Cause im new I cant post URLs :\
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
Isn't 100% sure... can be a 3630 or 3610 ( with GPU )

In my opinion, motorola created a massive production 3630 is cheaper than make 1m 3610 ( with gpu ) and 1m more 3630...

And declarated as an 3610 processor to sell more Droid2/X.

It's a simply market strategy.

If a developer knows if defy have a 3630 processor and can record 720P ( if no camera limitations ), can be good as droid2/x and of course the price as much better.

the defy processor overclocks the same a DROID 2/X with the same Vsel, and the Scores are the same too...

Please gutting the phone once to clarify this...

PD: excuse my ****ing bad english.
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
Looking at some public motorola source code, it does support 720p. It just seems to be commented all over the place.

Also early DEFY testers got roms with 720p support ...
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
I think defy with 720P will be great! the defy camera quality it's amazing on android 2.1, and with froyo i supose will be AHhh!!!!! :D
[Defy General] trickyhenry:
Doesn't seem to be a huge amount of support for the phone in this forum. Not the worst mind you. Amazing phone I wish more hackers and chefs would give it a try.
[Defy General] pjcons:
Not sure about the defy camera. It's nowhere near as good as XT701 camera. Meant to be 5mp but average quality as soon as light drops.
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
That can be the driver, or Eclair version? THe defy's camera it's better than a loot of phones, incluiding, htc hd2, nexus one, desire, wave...etc

Maybe in low light conditions, it's bad, and with Android 2.1... i supose need an improvement
[Defy General] Perilla_:
Defy's camera is bad, very bad. Nokia N95 and N97 are the two better mobile cameras I have seen. Omnia cam (my last phone) is too better than Defy's one. Luckily I don't use the mobile to take photos... because I bought a reflex looking for quality.
[Defy General] plaisthos:
Where can I get the public source code you are talking about?
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
The source is at opensource.motorola.com. Click yourself throu the projects.
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
I do own a DSLR (Pentax K20 with an awesome 50-135mm lens). I do own a Camcorder (Samsung HMX-H204). I do own (well my wife and kiddos) various types of P&S cameras. I am a picture/image/video quality freak (by profession).

However if I want to take a quick snap while I'm out there an Skiing, then NOTHING beats the DEFY's camera. It's conveniant (as you have it with you to listen to music anyway). You take a quick clip, or snap a few pictures, and send it over to facebook right away from the slopes, so that the suckers at home can see it right away. Yes, I can get better shots with my DSLR, but that is carrying 2kg extra with me, and yes, I can get better video with the Camcorder, but that is not IP67 rated.

So conveniance wins. The only 2 nagging points for me are that the DEFY could do 720p, but it's not enabled, and that there is no way to set the JPEG quality in the camera app.
[Defy General] Perilla_:
Yes, all true, but comparing defy's cam with other phones... no win xD
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
No' that's not 100% true, if can improve the camera compression, the quality will be 10 times better.

If i compare Samsung wave camera VS Defy = Defy Wins in good light conditions.
[Defy General] Perilla_:
But compared with the three other phones I had, Defy loose.
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
You might want to try out "Camera 360" then, which allows you to adjust the compression. However for some reason it sucks up a huge amount of power.
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
If you are taking picture in whiteout conditions while snowing, the DEFY wins. If you are out there and biking and it's raining cats and dogs, the DEFY wins.
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
Before I forget. 640x480 on the DEFY can get up to 3 mbit/sec (2.5 as I've seen in streams). The source implies that 1280x720 would be limited to 3 mbit/sec as well. That would probably impact the 720p quality substatially (or the frame-rate, as the "Droid X" only does 720p with 24 fps. So not sure whether it's desireable to have 720p ...
[Defy General] Perilla_:
When it's raining, I don't go bike... Have you tried N95 or N97 camera?
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
I think that speed isn't normal right? maybe something wrong with drivers? or it's the hardware?

Try Disk Benchmark if you whant to know the speeds

For me 10MB File Size ( Eclair )

NAND: 3.29MB/s

SDHC Class 4: 5MB/s = 40000kbps ( i think is suficient )

This isn't normal, the micro SD still faster than internal nand? there is something wrong!! :D

Yes i have a nokia n95 ( isn't alive now ) the camera quality its great, but i think it's more pixelated than other phones i ven seen.

However, if Defy finally can handle 720P will be great, i'm right?
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
I have neither tried the N95 nor the N97. They are both Nokia, which is why I don't even bother.

See, the raining thing sadly happens way too often if you are out there for a while ;-) That's why I picked the DEFY. Otherwise I might have continued to use a ATRIX (way to big for me, but still nice).
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
No, it's not the speed of the SDCARD that *should* be the issue. It's more the processing power the IVA has on the OMAP3.

What's funny is that with some other Cellular Device (MB860) that records 1280x720 they are reporting back a 12 mbit/sec rate. That seems to make then 720p on the DEFY rather pointless, as you'd loose tooo much detail. Guess I have to waterproof my camcorder, or get a GoPro HD instead ;-)
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
we can at least try it?

EDIT: 720P of the DROID 2 if have the same CPU, why cant record good videos in hD?
[Defy General] thenext1:
We're talking of bitrates, so divide by 8 that 12mbit figure. That makes 1,5 megabytes per second.
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
so... bitrate of Droid 2? or desire HD? or other phones are?
[Defy General] thenext1:
I don't know (why should I)

You should open a .mp4 file recorded on those phones with a tool like avidemux and look into the file information for the kbit/s value.

Or you could simply divide the length in seconds by the size in megabytes. There's still a fraction for the audio in the mix, but it is negligible.

Just bear in mind that mbit/s are mb/s * 8.

12 mb/s is almost 1080p BluRay-grade quality (I'm just shooting high :D)
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
I'm trying to get the relevant files from a "Droid X" and see :)
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
Couple of comments here. Background is that I really use the DEFY to shoot short clips with my Kiddos skiing. My wife doesn't ski (health issue), so she loves this, as she can be part of the saturday action so to speak. I do edit the footage using Sony Vegas Pro 10, which of course tells you details like fps and the bitrate. Actually just opening the movie inspector in QuickTime will do the same thing.

Now, the DEFY records by default in 3GP, not MP4. Underneeth it's both AVC/H.264 coding, so not a biggy, but just mentioned here to get things correct.

The other detail is that 640x480 on the def as well as the 1280x720 on the mb860 are roughly 30 fps, not 60 fps what is usually referred to as 720p. I also have seen that the real frame rate is all over the place, from 29 fps to 37 fps. That might be due to small timing differences, or dropped frames that then confuse a real NLE app.

Full 720p is coded in base profile, level 3.2 at up to 20mbit/sec. In the wild I have typically seen camcorders do 18mbit effective (actually most codecs I have seen compress with an effective bitrate below the target bitrate, unless they use multipass compression). For 720p @30fps cell phones use base profile, level 3.1, which tops out at 14mbit/sec. The DEFY uses base profile, level 3, which limits it to 10mbit/sec (doesn't sound that bad ?).

The bit rate on a cell cannot really be compared to a blu ray, or anything you'd get out of a professional codec. Compressing high quality 720p takes up quite a bit computing resources, and I doubt that a cell phone can get the same quality within it's more limited scope (yes, Tegra2 is better there ;-)). So I'd say that the quality at the same bitrate is less. Also consider that H.264 plays a lot of frame to frame redundancy (like predictive frames). If you have a moving object (or background), then chances are that 60p will compress more effective than 30p, as the codec can work with more P/B frames, while the 30p codec either looses quality, or has to work with more I frames.

Most footage I have shot is handheld. That implies that the backgound is moving slightly, which also means that a lot of the bitrate is wasted on coding the background. Might be intresting to put a cell on a tripop (duct-tape it ;-)) and see how it does.

BTW, youtube now does support 720p coding. I don't really know what bitrate they are doing this in, but when you upload a 720 clip they also resize down to 480. It's kind of cool to see the tiny quality differences if you switch between those. The 480 format is widescreen, which is 864x480 ...

sothe defy can or can not handle 720p?
[Defy General] switchgott:
Maybe this code is still for all omap devices!!

Iam not a coder.

But i found this in source code von Moto!

Can someone tell us somethink about it?

Can we compile it?

In milestone it must compile this way, because 720p works!
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
I believe that we need to get ahold of 2 files:

libOMX_Core.so. This one exposed the *720P* codecs for encoding. Just crossreference this with the DroidX code.

libcamera.so. That one is more tricky. I seem to fail to patch that properly without hanging my system at bootup time. The one from the DroidX doesn't seem to work (well, it has a substantially different camera). Anyway, if you look at libcamera.so you see the exposed video resolutions. This is passed throu via libcameraservice.so. I started by simply editing the binary to reducde the list to 640x480,1280x720 ... that as I stated hangs my system (used to work with other older Linux/Unix system where you'd just edit the *.so file). It *may* be the fact that I'm reducing the number or something else. It may be that the camera module would use 1280x960 natively.
[Defy General] BizzaBoy:
@djsven:

The table you cite is the one that really keeps me puzzled. It say something about DEFBITRATE. For 640x480 I am seeing 2.5mbit, while this table contains a 1.5mbit entry. It's also the same for DroidX.
