Oh, and I added the modprobe line to my froyo.user.conf, and it now loads at boot time. After every boot, I can use goggles without issue.

Just running the modboot from terminal requires that you repeat after each boot.

IPV6? Bah! It'll never catch on. But it will be cool to have an IP address of abbacaddabba. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] gnnash:
Please read the first post. IPv6 is required by a small number of apps, notably Google Goggles.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sad0felix:
I guess he was just kidding.

I can't get the exact quote, but I have read about a good old english man, head of her majesty's patent office, in UK, in 19th century, that interviewed about the great advance in technology happening in the second half of 1800 stated something like this:

"Bad times are coming for patent offices: we already invented steam power by burning coal, what could possibly be invented more?"

LOL!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] jchutch2:
Yeah...that was sarcasm to the nth degree. I actually already use IPv6 and browse the IPv6 Internet. It does have a few cool things on it. Check it out.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] gnnash:
My apologies. Hard to tell sometimes if someone's being serious or not on these forums.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] snowmaiden11:
Thanks for digging this up! I've actually never modified my froyo.conf before, so I wanted to double check that I was doing it right before I jacked everything up.

Assuming I have the right set of modules, do I just add "modprobe ipv6" to the very last section? I'm assuming it gets its own line...?

Or is there something I can add to the startup.txt (which scares me a loooot less) :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Nope, needs to be froyo.user.conf. Go to the bottom, find the "CustomCommands" Section. Just place the command within those brackets on its own line - easy peasy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] da1stprince:
how do you open that froyo.user.conf file? im in windows,synced up to pc and it says windows cannot open this file type. what am i doing wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Right click, open with. I prefer Notepad++, but normal notepad will do... just be careful of carriage returns (Linux and Windows handle them differently...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Its showing #echo modprobe ipv6 on the line

Do I remove echo? or the # sign too?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Depending on where that is, yes you'd remove both the hash mark (#) and the echo.

I just put (in my CustomCommands section) 'modprobe ipv6' all on one line by itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I entered modprobe ipv6 in notepad & opened in notepad++ & it instantly showed that # echo modprobe ipv6 was entered. Thats why I brought it up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Erm... no explanation for that. Never heard of that before, but I also never use notepad, I always use notepad++... the only thing I've had notepad screw up is carriage returns, which is expected because of the reason I stated above...

You can also do this on your device using Astro.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Naadi900:
With the camera support in the main kernel and builds, maybe it's time to implement this in an FAQ or into the builds :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] segadc:
I tried this but its not working for me. Here is how I got it...

# custome shell commands, these commands run last

custome_shells{

chmod 77 /etc/dbus.conf

echo 2? /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/

usb_function_switch

rm -f /sd/fsck*.rec

#echo "you can create your own commands here # example

modprobe ipv6

}

Do I delete the line [#echo "you can create your own commands here # example]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Well for one you misspelled custom...

Two, do you have a carriage return after the last bracket }? Should work just fine assuming the conf file is in the conf folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] segadc:
yeah i just retyped it but its right in the config file. But u know I left it out of the folder. That's my problem I guess.

What's a carriage return?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Enter :p

....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] segadc:
Hey I am learning here! lol!

I had to create a config folder. Is it case sensitive?

Still didn't work guess I will reset.

Edit: Deleted and put the default config file. Added the line and google goggles now works woot! But I notice even if the harware key lights are off, if I use google goggles (maybe just the camera in general) the keys turn and stay on.

First off hello Forum, I was first introduced to this unit the Flying Touch II by my uncle who purchased (2) of these for his sons for xmas and I thought they were rather neat. He paid 160.00 and 50 for shipping in NOV. I went on the Davis Micro site and clicked chat and asked a few question the operator made me an offer of 151.00 and 37.00 shipping and I took it and the unit was here in roughly 4 days which seem impressive. Me and my uncle are now curios after my brother jailbroke his Iphone, touch and Ipad, the capabilities of these unit doing the same thing. After some searches it seems they call it rooting I think. Can some enlighted me I am green and a newbie so I am just asking question now I may not even be saying this correctly thansk for any assistance as well. Here is the link I purchased mines from.

Does anyone know of a way to add "Notification Menu Power Control Widgets" for Archos 70?
[Gen8 General] nenadr:
As far as I know by playing around with the implementation of those for my HTC Desire, there is a lot of changes to 2 .jar files and to framework-res.apk from /system/framework, in order to implement this. Unfortunatly patches to .jar files are not availible (or at least I couldn't find them for any other version except for HTC Sense based ROMs). Further more, I think that implementation of "Notification Menu Power Control Widgets" depends on HTC Sense control widgets.

So to summarize, I don't think it is possible to implemnt "Notification Menu Power Control Widgets" on our tablets.

Hope that someone can prove me wrong ;) !
[Gen8 General] cnewsgrp:
Thanks. Maybe my question was incorrect.

I have a samsung captivate with custom rom installed. Wifi, Display etc button show on top of the notification pull down curtain. Those are not sense roms. Is there a way to get something similar for Archos 70?
[Captivate General] macsrock:
I hate to say this but... i went back to my 3GS. The captivate's battery life was awful... and the lag ....and sometimes you press a button and nothing happens... GPS...was just all too frustrating. Mostly the battery life. I really wanted to love this phone. I raved about it to other people.

It turns out I had an extended warranty on my 3GS so I took my old 3GS to the apple store and said it has some issue and they replaced it ASAP. So, I now have a new 3GS. Man I tell you its good to be back. The Apple UI is so responsive.. Its just a more polished system all together. Also I decided to go back because of gaming and Netflix.

The new 4G HTC phone Aspire for AT&T (or Inspire or something like that) looks really good. My wife has the HTC EVO on sprint and it doesn't have the issues that the captivate had. Samsung made an awesome try.. GREAT hardware and BEST screen in the market for sure... but the working with the software is just not there yet.

I'll wait for either the HTC Aspire or the the iPhone 5 (actually I think it will be called 4G). I won't buy Samsung again for a looooooooon time.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I will never understand these threads. If you were a dev I might understand...being on my phone means I canteen report to have locked. Enjoy your 3gs as it seems that is what you really want.

This is my Captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
[Captivate General] psai:
The battery life gets much better if you do a few tweaks and mods.

As for the lag, flashing a custom ROM with a lagfix makes a world of difference and is easily on par with the responsiveness of iOS.

Anyway, good luck with your 3GS, if that's what you prefer.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
The iphone sounds perfect for you. It requires no effort or desire to tweak. It performs well out if the box, will never improve, and looks and behaves like every other iphone. Enjoy
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
+1

Glad you got one over on the Apple store.

Baaaah!
[Captivate General] Krad:
I agree totally. I am on a new dell streak and easily get 2 days of battery use, no need for a tweaked rom, and a working gps.

The only reason I come to this forum now is to see if official froyo was released so I can maybe give my wife the craptivate.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Why would I need two days of battery life? Are outlets not available in your neck of the woods?

And I think maybe you miss the point, loading custom roms is a good thing, not a burden
[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
So major rumors have it that tomorrow Verizon is going to announce the iPhone 4. You've probably all read them, what I'm wondering is if anyone will get it. I'm tempted to sell my DInc to get one..

Anyone else?

I would've liked to have one prior to getting the Inc; but now, you could never convince me to get iPhone with all the customization we have and Incredible devs.
[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
Yeah those guys are pretty awesome! :D

The only thing i'm wishing is we had a better GPU. That (and the better camera + front facing) are really the only things that make me want to switch. Everything else is not that big of a deal...

I was really hoping 2.3 would have been a bigger update than it was. And I can really only see honeycomb running on tablets, not phones. The android ecosystem is poor in my opinion (now the community...thats a different story.) and it shows with the app selection. Yes, there are some great apps..no tons of them, but they always come to iOS first. In my opinion, Google really needs to straighten some things up with OEM's.

But this is all my opinion :P

[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
Short answer: No.

Long answer: Hardware-wise, the Inc and the iPhone 4 are pretty similar, and my Inc outperforms the iPhone. Software-wise, Android blows iOS out of the water. I can customize EVERYTHING. If I want my android to look like iPhone, I can flash MIUI!

I'm also addicted to flashing ROMs and kernels anyway. I don't see much of that on iOS.

[Droid Incredible General] SR3TLAW:
Haha word
[Droid Incredible General] IISiDeK1CKII:
I will. I have been wanting the iPhone 4 since it came to AT&T, but I am on VZW until October. I love my incredible, but as I have said before, the apple ecosystem is what I love. I have an iMac and iPad and it has been nothing but fun. I like flashing ROMs, but it has become a bit of an obsession... and I cannot tell you the last time i've had a widget (other than google search) on my phone. Also, I can't find the need to buy an ipod touch when I can get an iPhone for cheaper (on contract of course). Finally, my roommate has the iPhone 4 and his camera blows mine out of the water. The HDR effect is sexy as hell... and the front facing cam isn't too bad either. I want to skype with my boo :(

All in all, I will probably be one of the first to line up to get it if it ships. If it doesn't release, I will install MIUI and shut the hell up.

P.S. - I love all the devs, I think they are some of the greatest people on earth. I like simplicity though, and the iPhone is more or less exactly what I want. I like the form factor, screen size and sharp screen.(why I bought the DINC not the X) The retina display is SEXY!! I will be putting the DINC on ebay probably, twill be a sad day.

Edit: Also, the hardware on the iPhone makes the DINC look like a toy. That is another big reason for wanting to make the switch. That thing is drop dead damn sexy.
[Droid Incredible General] 02busa:
LMAO, to each their own... I'll take my Android any day.. I concur, i'd use any iPhone for Target practice... A .300 Ultra Mag works wonders for "redesigning" apple products...

Apple sucks

I will never purchase anything Apple. They try to control everything about it. Apples choke hold on everything they make is just too much and I won't deal with it. My best friend has had an iPhone since they came out and he is in the iPhone 4 which is an alright device but he is really wanting an Android after goofing around with my phone. :)

[Droid Incredible General] moviemogul:
I love my iPad and my iPod touch to death. I am an Apple fan. The simplicity is what makes it appealing. I love my retina display on my touch. I use my iPad so much more than my PC, because Windows is the biggest trash heap on the planet.

However, I won't be getting an iPhone just yet. Mainly cause I just signed a new contract for my Incredible. However, all we will see todaynis a CDMA iPhone 4, which will be old tech when Uncle Steve reveals iPhone 4.5 in June.

Verizon will get the next iteration of the iPhone, and thats when my contract will be up. I will get an iPhone then.
[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
One of the main things thar makes me want to switch is the fact thar this could be the only device with a front facing camera on Verizon that doesn't require a 4G data plan.

[Droid Incredible General] giantcrazy:
What for? If I want a crippled phone that insists on me doing things their way, I'll go to a Blackberry and at least have an awesome keyboard to go with it.

iPhone is incredibly popular, but a quick look at pop music and what gets top ratings on TV these days, that should tell you everything you need to know about how good it really is.

I think it's funny to read all the posts here (pro-android) and on macrumors and tuaw (pro-apple) and you see how biased people are. As stated, to each his own. I am jumping ship with an anchor named "iPhone" strapped to my ankle...

but I will never stop being active here, not in a MILLION years!
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
Well spoken, well spoken indeed. :D
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
There are a few things about the iPhone that might make me jump ship.

1. The build quality - It is *phenomenal*. No one can argue with the fact that the iPhone has the superior build quality out of most of its competition and it's truly a stunning looking device.

2. Music functionality - Let's be honest, Android isn't quite there with music functionality integrating headsets with phone calls and car stereos. There's also a big of fragmentation when it comes to the different players such as PowerAMP or stock choices or WinAMP. The iPhone is the superior music handler IMO.

3. Price and network - The fact alone that I can get it on Verizon for only $200 is tempting enough for me to switch over.

4. Software performance - I enjoy the fact that iOS is closed. That means better accommodation by Apple to make the OS perform as well as it needs to on the current hardware they have. You don't need any fancy dual-core processors or power-hogging GPUs. It's completely fine with the lower powering hardware it has. That also means ridiculous battery life as well.

5. And finally, Apple *does* pioneer a few revolutions in their products, I believe it's the first phone to offer a gyroscope, as well as a very high resolution display.

It's going to be a very difficult decision for me come March when my upgrade is available. I've been there already with the Thunderbolt in the Incredible, and the Droid Bionic doesn't entice me with its locked bootloader. I might actually jump to the iPhone.
[Droid Incredible General] moviemogul:
I did want one, but I'm gonna wait for the next iteration of the iPhone before I head to it. I love my Incredible...it's good, lol
[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
No. I already have an iPod and my Inc., why get an iPod+phone? Its redundant lol. The Incredible, in my opinion, is a much better device. I like the ability to play with kernels and roms, or underclock if I forgot my charger so I can get a longer lasting charge. I like that it isn't tied down, I have FREEDOM! But, if you like the simplicity of iOS, that's your opinion. I'm not going to hate you cause you like something different. As everyone else says on here, to each their own.

[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
this is a pointless question really. anyone who frequents xda knows what an android phone is capable of and the iphone will never be. for example root, flash, wifi tether, easytether, free angry birds, nandroid, titanium backup. i could go on but it would be redundant.

if u like xda, there is pretty much no chance of you going to iphone after sampling the quality work done here.
[Droid Incredible General] techobsessive:
No, it really is not pointless. Yeah, iPhone may not have ROM flashes and kernel changes but jail breaking gives you some pretty sweet options. Yeah, I'm on XDA all the time, I love it. But i'm considering switching. The devs here do amazing, amazing stuff, don't get me wrong..but after trying many ROMS, its all the same. A little tweak here, or there. Android is open source, so why not go radical with it.

Now, before you start a flame war here, I appreciate what the devs do, to all of them, GREAT JOB. Seriously. I'm no dev, and what they do amazes me.

I'm sick of Google. My Droid Incredible, with its 1Ghz CPU, should be the fastest device out there (other than the Tegra 2 devices), and should be able to run everything...at a decent frame rate. But nope, so many different CPU platforms to develop on. No dev has the time and money to optimize it for snapdragon, OMAP, and humming bird. iPhone, it all works. Every app.

So that is why some one might want to switch. Apps are of higher quality.

Oh, and customization? Yeah its nice...but when android in itself is just hideous customizing it gets old, and boring, and more of a burden than a blessing.

Thats just my opinion.

2. You hate the fact that today better devices exist out there

3. You believe that devs don't have the time and money to optimize their apps for different cpu platforms

4. Iphone apps work better than anything else out there

5. Android is hideous, you are sick of GOOGLE

6. You are done customizing and you are bored, you feel it's a burden

7. All roms are about the same, the open source OS did not offer you what you were expecting

WOW! You should switch to Apple Iphone, don't even wait another second.:cool:
