I used to have an Eris also, and what he did for that community was/is great. I was just taking a look at his twitter and no respect to jt, birdman et al, but... I really find it amazing how he is able to squash bugs 1 by 1 almost every hour if not more. I also really like his transparency of letting us know really progress. I have quite a bit of C/C++ experience from the past 6-7 years, and I would like to get into android development at some point (besides rolling kernels) and I like being able to read about his journey.

Good things are sure to come!

[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Well I think partially it's just because he posts more in general, we don't really know when jt is having trouble but he out of nowhere got the RIL working so clearly he can squash bugs too... but i definitely prefer the prolific twitter updates.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
jt also put a lot of work into the kernel. There are likely more optimizations in there than anyone using a kernel based on his source realizes.

Most of our devs hate us. The fascinate community is pretty ungrateful typically.

Just a thought. This isn't referring to you necessarily, but think about some of the users vs. dev posts in the past.
[Fascinate General] CxanDroid:
I don't think that the fascinate users are truly ungrateful, it's just the massive frustration leaking through.

:mad:
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
That's what I've been noticing (the ungratefulness and inability to use search of most people here). I don't think they hate most people though, despite all the whining people do about adrynalyne he still fixes so many people's phones. I think the stupidity in this forum just keeps most of them from bothering to read it.

I have put my old HD2 on amazon.com after i got the HD7. And you know what... i almost lost it for some piece of sh!t hacker...

Let me tell you guy the whole story.

Early Morning(yesterday), i received a messege from a user from amazon.com and ask about my hd2, looking good. I didn't check about the user address. I sent back an e-mail from my HD7, she didn't get it and send me back her e-mail address :liccr@yahoo.com

(those image i captured today with Windows Live Mail 2011 so you guy can see everything about it)

http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/AMRAAM_Missiles/****BUYER.jpg

This one look like real deal? except the email address from amazon marketplace.

http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/AMRAAM_Missiles/Another****.png

Ask me to ship the item quick in order to reach his birthday (next tuesday) with international shipping. I also received a messge from A FAKE SEVER OF AMAZON.COM by SOME SH!T HACKER with confirm payment from this buyer (purchase through amazon.com? I have never heared about this kind of payment before)

I have already checked the order number on amazon and amazon.com can't find any order with that number... I considered.

To Nigeria? ARE YOU FU*KING KIDDING ME?

Payment through Amazon? WTF is that kind of payment?

I usually ship my item and buy the postage at amazon.com through my seller account. So i went to my seller account and check the order. And this is when the fun begin...

I emailed back to liccr@yahoo.com and said we had a problem here and from then, i haven't received any e-mail back yet.

Well, i contacted Amazon Seller Help immediately, and received an e-mail several hrs ago and they warned me about fake buyer and fake contact e-mail.

I checked the source code of the email through Windows Live Mail and found something really funny...

I never heard about this kind of address before.

BTW, i hope you guy will not be lied like me... I thought this order/deal was real until this early morning (when i received the e-mail from fake amazon.com)...

Take Care! I will update info of this thread if i have something new about this case...

[Off-topic] jaszek:
Most scammers are from Nigeria. At least the CL ones. The last one I had was a Marine on a ship and said his son really needed the item i'm selling for a school project. I wonder how old his son is if he wants a Sigma 10-20mm lens lol...also when I asked him if he knows what the item is he just copied the ad title and put a question mark at the end. Sometimes they are fun to talk to. I'll fin you the e-mail exchange I had with him.

There we go: http://goo.gl/fWKwU

Sound like a stupid joke to me... His son wanted a Sigma 10-20mm lens for school work? :eek:

Well he wanted the item. lol. I've googled his email address and he was infact a scammer.

Ok i have sent a-many PM's to ppl asking for help.

So now im trying this.

I want to add WirelessTether to my "ROM", however if i just add it to the \data dir the program FC's after the ROM is installed.

I have searched..no really i have lol i cant seem to find anything to lead me in the right direction.

So if someone in the Community could lend me a hand in some DEV i would be very appreciative!
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
How are you copying it? Which version of wireless tether are you trying?
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
ACS had it working "out of the box" in their 2.1 ROM. i think it has something to do with a data or config file in /data/data. otherwise, once you install the ROM if you go to applications > manage apps > wireless tether > clear data i think it will work then. not 100% sure but i think thats how they did it
[Epic 4G General] feefeeboomboom:
im using 2.0.6 from code.google.com.

clearing the data doesnt not work.

and i do think you need a config file but idk were\how to get it.

Here is a couple screenshots, yes its 960x800 but when picking a wallpaper your given the option to resize. Unless of course you're writing them into a wallpaper program. Hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
i have some videos that are in the mkv format. i tried using rock player, but the video looks laggy and there's a discrepancy between the video and audio. it seems that the audio is ahead of the video. or is there a way to increase the frame rate for this format. i've tried almost every player in the market that came up under mkv and nothing that works right. my avi files work great though
[G Tablet General] mhart032:
I've tried all different players that play mkv and they are all laggy and the video is pixulated. I think the gtab is just not capable of playing them. But don't be sad the glorious opacity wont play them either results are the same.

[G Tablet General] ILA970JOSH:
i've been using rebox.NET found here http://www.videohelp.com/tools/rebox.NET, it basically re-muxes and converts audio to mp4 format from mkv, i've only tried 720p video so far, plays fine in rock player
[G Tablet General] unnerv00:
I was reading the other day that an andriod version of VLC is being worked on. Hopefully that will do us right.
[G Tablet General] wasya152:
is this something you do on the tablet or you need to do it on a comp first?
[G Tablet General] BilliamB:
why can't someone take the video player that comes with the archos101 and port into the gtablet? archos101 plays .mkv and just about everything else and I think the .apk is easily obtainable through archos101. I am not sure if the video player is what makes .mkv's work or if there is some system codecs involved. I used to have the archos101 and it did play .mkv's nicely.
[G Tablet General] ILA970JOSH:
yo do the conversion on the pc first, doesn't take but a couple minutes
[G Tablet General] DaMan:
The Archos player is probably optimized to the hardware inside the Archos which is different from ours.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think a couple people have looked at doing that without success. I know I love the player on my little Archos5. It plays very nice, and also has the built-in upnp capability.
[G Tablet General] SilentMobius:
MKV (Matroska) support is compiled into stagefright/opencore on the devices that support it (Along with AC3, DTS, etc). It isn't just build into the player app.

Remember that matroska is just a container. being able to parse video streams out of an MKV won't magically give the Tegra2 enough beef to render 5.1aac+h.264 High-profile 1080p, in fact with the Tegra2 userspace libs in their current state you'll be lucky to get 1080p Main profile and only sure of playing Baseline profile.

Look at the video you want to play if its already High profile 1080p it will _never_ play on a Tegra2 device.

Remux (not re-encode) the MKV into an MP4 container, it it still doesn't play nothing short of updates from nvidia will change that.

ArcMedia

I've been using arcMedia and it runs flawlessly. Here's the apk. runs directly from Astro file manager. Long press on the video file, open file using archmedia. check the default box and every video file opened by arcMedia directly.
[Droid X General] thrasher6143:
I think the problem lies more in my computer thn phone but I'm not sure. I am running Win7 x64 and my bootloader is 30.04 and android 2.2.1. My computer is not recognizing the droidx it uses drivers for a portable device and disk drive and no adb interface. this is a fresh win 7 install
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
Make sure your MOTO drivers are updated. Then try pc mode. Let the phone sit for a few minutes while the SD card scans and the media window opens on your pc. Make sure you minimize it only. If you close the window your connection will be killed.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Google search z4root. Download the app and install it. Then open it and select permanent root. If your phone freezes during the process ( this could take up to fifteen minutes) just pull the battery and try again. It will work the second time
[Droid X General] forever29:
Yeah. Z4 works perfectly on an X. I've used it a few times after SBF'ng:)
[EVO 4G General] localguyincali:
Hello,

I would like little info, here please, i'm interested in rooting, but after reading and watching vids on this im abit confused in which method i should do? i watched a few vids on unrevoked method with nand backups, then read on here how to root aswell.

All im looking for is something little faster and snapper in the phone with a nice ROM.. and not losing front camera

if someone can point me in right direction for the files i need to do this and the best way in doing this without "BRICKING" LoL..

here is my info:

Build # 3.70.651.1

kernal version: 2.6.32.17

Android Version: 2.2

Don't know if need more info,? this is a replacement phone i got lastnight.

Thankyou for reading :)
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I have used unrevoked several times that is what I recommend. Here is the link do the unrevoked forever.

http://unrevoked.com/

Edit: follow all directions read and read agin
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
All depends on your preference, it's tough to actually brick a phone but permanently wiping out your 4G on the other hand is easy.
[EVO 4G General] localguyincali:
See thats what i don't want to do wipe out my 4G even tho we don't have 4G here yet but never know when im in a area that has 4G i wont pick it up.. So what or which method should i do? so everything goes easy and right? Thanks
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
Restart your phone into the bootloader to find out what HBoot version you have. This can be down by holding the volume down key. If its 2.10, like mine, you can easily root by going here and downloading this item and here to download this item. Install the hboot drivers first then just run the recovery download.

As far as I know, rooting won't kill your 4G but flashing a ROM that doesn't support it will.
[EVO 4G General] localguyincali:
Yes it says 2.10.0001
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
lol hit the wrong button and clicked thanks. Oh well. :P

Just do what I said then. It took me all of 50 mins for the whole rooting process. Mostly because it took a while to install the HBoot drivers. Couldn't find my phone on the device manager until I realized my external HDs were causing problems with it.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I've had mine since release and haven't had any trouble with it but many have had theirs wiped just by trying to root. I can't say for sure what exactly causes it but I've never used unrevoked and I've always used amon ra's recovery.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
New information:

It turns out that my initial enthusiasm was unfounded.

I can confirm that Rebel firmware versions 1.1 and 1.2 produce an "invalid SIM" error. Version 1.3 beta and 1.0 work initially on 2G, but further testing reveals the following problems:

- incoming calls not always received, sometimes they go straight to voicemail

- call display shows "Unknown" for certain out-of-network callers

- phone will be connected to network for several hours, anywhere from 2 to 18, but once it loses signal it can't get back on until you pop out the SIM, put it in another phone WITHOUT the Rebel SIM, make a call, send a text, leave it for 15 minutes, and then try all over again

- based on my limited testing, you can't connect AT ALL to a 3G-only network (that is, Wind and Mobilicity in Canada)... this is consistent with reports about the Rebel SIM on Android devices having issues with 3G and needing to connect on 2G first

I am sorry to anyone who jumped at any purchases as a result of my previous test results. Personally, it is with great disappointment that I'm returning my Venue Pro to Dell.

I can now confirm the only method for SIM unlock of the Dell Venue Pro (locked to T-mobile US): buy the Rebel SIM II. You can use it with your non-Tmobile SIM to send and receive calls, SMS and data! But no MMS :(

You will need:

Rebel SIM II (http://rebelsimcard.com/virtu/index...s&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=445&Itemid=1)

Rebel Compact Programmer (http://rebelsimcard.com/virtu/index...ategory_id=243&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1)

You may also want to get the SIM cutter, which is just a fancy hole puncher - and if you're getting that, maybe one of the bundled options is best. But I used an exacto-knife to cut a notch in my SIM card.

Buy these and get them shipped to your house. (Mine took exactly one week to arrive from UK to Canada using Royal Mail, but I'm pretty close to a customs point of entry.) DHL and FedEx shipping options will be faster but more expensive.

The Rebel SIM II comes preloaded with firmware v1.2 - you will need to downgrade the firmware to v1 (http://rebelsimcard.com/virtu/images/downloads/rebel-II_v1.cardfm) using the USB compact programmer. Follow the instructions on Rebel SIM's site.

Go to cellular settings and manually select your network - it will take time to find it. Once that is connected, test out the calling and texting with a friend.

Now go back into cellular settings and click Add APN, filling in the data APN address, username and password for your carrier. After that, enable data roaming, and then enable the data connection.

EDIT: if you get booted off the network after a while, try reprogramming the Rebel SIM with firmware beta v1.3 - it worked for me after making one outgoing call and sending one text message
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
My experience

I'm on Rogers Canada - a network with 850/1900 MHz EDGE, and 850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA. Obviously I am stuck on 2G with the Venue Pro, but that's okay for now.

I ordered the above-listed products from Rebel SIM last week. I used an exacto-knife to cut a notch in the plastic end of my SIM card where the Rebel chip sticks up. Then I tried the whole thing with firmware v1.2 which comes pre-programmed on the phone, but I got an "Invalid SIM" message.

I programmed the Rebel SIM with firmware v1, and it has unlocked my Venue Pro. Now I can send/receive calls, texts, and data. I used the APN settings APN: internet.com , username: wapuser1 , password: wap . As soon as I enabled data roaming, a little "E" popped up beside my signal bars. Now I have cellular data. (EDIT: I had to switch the Rebel to beta firmware v1.3 after getting kicked off the network 18 hours later)

I'm not going to bother bugging T-mobile and Dell for an unlock code, like so many others have. Do you know why? Just look at the Dell Streak for AT&T - there are no unlock codes, and only one user (ONE!) was able to get it by talking to a string of different managers and escalating the problem through a lucky combination of people. Dell went on to sell the Streak through other global carriers and those people have been able to get unlock codes... but as far as I can tell, the only solution available for the AT&T-locked Dell Streak is Rebel SIM II. That, plus a mail-in service the same company has just started... basically they've found a way to crack the unlock code over USB.

I predict the same thing will happen with the Venue Pro. The European devices will eventually get unlock codes, either through their carriers or through third-party sites. But those of us who bought the first batch from Dell.com will be stuck with the Rebel SIM... until somebody finds a way to hack the Venue Pro into giving up its own unlock code directly.

Meantime, we can hope that the Euro-made DVP comes with some useful new software bits that we can extract as XAP files and sideload onto our devices... like an Auto Device Config (ADC) and/or MMS settings app. I can live without MMS until then.

Don't get me wrong - I think Dell's behaviour is totally wrong here. But they're a tough nut to crack, and plenty of Dell Streak users have come before us and faced the same disappointments. We're lucky the Rebel SIM works.
[Venue Pro General] astranagan:
I am using a sim hack similar to RebelSim from my previous phone, (Sharp 904sh), and it works fine with Fido sim card. I'm able to make calls and all that on DVP. However, once I put the sim hack on Mobilicity's Sim card, it won't find the network. Under Network Selection, I can manually choose Mobilicity and CDN Roaming, but the Active Network always shows No Network no matter what I do, I am wondering if RebelSim works with Mobilicity Sim, or my Sim hack is not good enough
[Venue Pro General] onthemove31:
Thanks a lot dude :)

I'm ordering my Rebel SIM II right now :)
[Venue Pro General] gibbyhome:
Will this work from t-mobile to ATT ?

I have the samsung but want to use the dell venue pro ?

and if so what bad could happen ? could I damage my sim that is in my Focus ?

if I try this and it does not work will tmobile stop working
[Venue Pro General] velglarn:
I can confirm it works on ATT. For some reason my data isn't working properly, but it might just be my shoddy coverage right now. I will test it in other areas (non-residential) where the signal is better. APN settings are correct.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
I have no idea - I'm no psychic and I don't work for Rebel SIM! If you follow all instructions correctly (especially those on YouTube regarding the use of the USB SIM programmer; don't try to reprogram your AT&T SIM card) I don't see how anything bad could happen.

The whole point of the Rebel SIM is that it does absolutely nothing permanent or destructive to your phone or your SIM - it just interferes with the communication between the two of them.
[Venue Pro General] astranagan:
benjaminries: Do you think you'll be able to test your RebelSim with Mobilicity Sim card?
[Venue Pro General] velglarn:
EDGE works on ATT, no 3g obviously due to band differences.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
If somebody in Toronto gives me a Mobilicy SIM and lets me cut a hole in the plastic part, sure.

Just to let everyone know: after about 18 hours working with the new Rebel SIM, my phone all of a sudden wouldn't connect to the network. Apparently this is a problem with the STK-based firmware.

So I troubleshooted for a while, and eventually decided to try the v1.3 beta firmware. It works for me - after I make an outgoing call and outgoing text, I can get incoming calls/texts... and data works too.

Go figure.
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
I've had continued problems with both v1 and v1.3 - and I tried out a Wind SIM card in-store, with utterly disasterous results (no connection). See first post for details.
[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
Sucks to hear that :( I'll still be keeping mine if anything just for dev purposes and then getting an android phone with WIND if I have to.

No 3G even with Rogers?
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
There wouldn't be 3G with Rogers because Rogers uses 850/1900 for UMTS/HSPA. I think the underlying issue is that the Rebel SIM can't just jump straight onto a 3G network - it needs to try underlying 2G first.

I've still got a contract with Rogers that is up in December of this year, at which point I'd probably switch to Wind regardless. Dell tried to convince me that T-mobile would give me an unlock code after 90 days of service with them, but... I don't believe it enough to risk it. It is hard to even really get excited about the other WP7 devices... the HD7 is the only other AWS option, and the Samsung Focus seems like the only other half-decent WP7 available in North America.
[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
Well I just got back to Canuckistan with mine, if anything I'm more pissed about the blurry camera/broken autofocus since it's ruined most of my shots while I was down in NYC.

If I didn't need it for dev purposes as well I'd be about as pissed as you are. No dice for me with the unlock code at Tmo for me either, although the staff were quite impressed by it and had never seen one before. Contrary to the many negative store clerk stories towards WP7 I've read elsewhere.

What is this 90 days of service thing, 90 days of a monthly plan? or just after 90 days if you've activated a TMo SIM, because I did do that while I was in NYC. Even my lowly $10 of credit went a lot further than any paygo plan in Canada, espec by Rogers' standards

Yeah it's a sad thing about the other WP7's as well, I'd have gotten a Focus if it was AWS compatible, at least the camera would work :P

So does the Rebel SIM work that way for all phones? it has to try 2G first? sadly the order for mine has just gone through
