Race condition is not a new term. It has been around since people started programming for microprocessors.

It is also not a new issue with Obsidian. It has been an issue in cvps's code since before any of it went public.

I'm not one to stifle creativity, but it's pretty sad when any script kiddie who knows how to open a compiler starts thinking they're good enough to outdevelop someone else's original source when they can't even be bothered to read the original dev's notes on the bugs inherent within the code.

CVPS has been noting the race condition since day one and it's been through 3 revisions without him being able to fully fix it.

You released "your" ROM without even doing any research into the known bugs and then couldn't even bother to check the dev notes (which are listed in bold letters not only in the release posts made by CVPS here and on other forums, but also on CCROMS.net in the same section you downloaded the source from). And when one of your users asked about it you didn't even know the term existed.

You, sir, are the asshole.
[Droid X Android Development] Matt4542:
Actually, I have never seen nor hear this term before. I know exactly what cvpcs has done and I have worked with him to assist him with some issues. I do know the bugs, and I do have them posted in the OP. I am not a "script kiddie", I am fluent with java, I know a decent ammount of C++ and HTML and some python. Do not act as if I am some ignorant person who does not know what they are doing and is just releasing something for the sake of releasing it. I have spent countless hours on getting this booting. I also have gotten the camera to work along with the camcorder(flaky at times), and I have also gotten data fixed on the DROID2. I know EXACTLY what I am talking about. Now please stop accusing me of not knowing what I am doing. If you feel that I do not know what I am doing please keep it to yourself as it is not relevant to this post. Also I did not need to check the dev notes, because I have been compiling and using these roms since near a month after cvpcs started. I have also gotten the sound working with these roms, as I forgot to mention before. I am not the asshole. I have put countless hours into this and into helping cvpcs. I also never said I was as good as cvpcs and I did NOT try to out develop cvpcs nor can I even try.

As I said before. I am not the asshole. I did a lot of work for cvpcs rom to show the light of day. Austen was at the verge of giving up on it at one point and then I took over for him to help.

Thank you for reading.

Also his name is cvpcs not CVPS.
[Droid X Android Development] JinxtPhoto:
Okidoke. You at least know his name.

I admit defeat.

I'm the asshole.

Wait wait wait... Your good friend, whom you shared many a fond coding moments with, told the entire ROM seeking public that there was an unknown cause of a race condition which killed performance and battery life but he never gave you a heads up to the issue? Maybe he's the asshole.

And so I'm being helpful to the discussion, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition

I find it disappointing that someone so "fluent with Java" doesn't know one of the key terms of most programming languages. Pro-tip: It's also relevant in C++ in case that ever comes up.

Oh... and HTML is not a programming language. Just trying to be helpful and relevant :)
[Droid X Android Development] barczakmark:
whoa, chill man! It's all good! It's enough to point out issues with a rom in order to further great development and benefits for us all. There's no need to criticize anybody. I'm sure Matt4542 knows a lot more about some things and you others. But this is not the place to pick a fight over one "new" term. In fact, I had never come across it until CVPCS had mentioned it for the DX. So it's all good and let's just enjoy this community of hacks and hackers on xda, because there's nothing better than that ;)
[Droid X Android Development] :
Moving right along... I tried this again, installing gapps after mounting /system. All is well. So glad that Obsidian isnt dying, the potential is very exciting. Thank you for your help!

Thank you Matt and team Phoenix for still supporting a locked device with EOL around the corner. I look forward to seeing what you guys bring for the X.

Matt4252, you gave the fascinate scene a go. I remember that. Good luck.....
[Droid X Android Development] Matt4542:
I tried to work on the Fascinate, but It was hard to develop for a device you don't actually have lol.
[Droid X Android Development] JinxtPhoto:
You're absolutely correct in all your statements towards my posts.

I'm not going to back-track, I take full responsibility for what I posted. I had some balled up personal issues which were not directly related to the situation that just set me off when I read the bit about the ROM creator not knowing what a race condition was. I was already on edge because I had just gotten out of a conversation with a fellow photographer who had charged a client big bucks to shoot their wedding and is being sued for the pictures not coming out. When he showed me the images to try and get me to help fix them I asked what ISO he had the camera on, to which he replied "What is ISO?" If you know anything about photography you can see the correlation between the two situations. Not understanding the basic camera settings doesn't mean the photographer can't end up with beautiful images (just like a ROM dev doesn't need to be a prophetic programmer to release a ROM that runs), but it doesn't mean that not understanding the absolute basics should be taken lightly.

I shouldn't have set out against MattG the way I did (especially publicly, in his own thread) and while I don't ask for forgiveness, I do apologize to Matt for the uncalled for way in which I said it.

Please let this indiscretion die so the thread can get back on topic. If anyone else would like to flame me please start a new thread or send me a PM. I've already unnecessarily taken up too much real estate in this thread.
[Droid X Android Development] dreamersipaq:
LMAO at "What is ISO?" It's all good man. Everyone has one of these days. I hope you see where I was coming from too :cool:

On Topic:

Matt,

So are you still going to be talking to CC about your ROM, or is he completely done with it? I think that all the little stuff (GPS, CAMERA, CAMCORDER) will get ironed out just like the original CM did, but I do have a concern about that init race. So far every rom that has been AOSP that's been released so far has fallen to this this. :(

Also, is everyone done with trying to get kexec to run? Or is this still a possibility?

Finally, we need to have a "techie" blond bombshell to volunteer the unthinkable. Sleep with Moto's CEO and steal those keys while he's asleep baby! Any volunteers?
[Droid X Android Development] Droid0351:
Wow! This rom has great potential. Can't wait to see further development. Keep up the good work.
[Droid X Android Development] JagoX:
So any update on the non-functional Camcorder and inaccurate GPS? Those 2 things are kind of deal breakers but I do like (as far as I know) it is the only Droid X ROM to have the power controls baked into the notification bar.
[Droid X Android Development] :
I think that the work on this rom is being continued by Team Phoenix. Have not seen any other updates, you can follow them on twitter @phoenixdevs
[Droid X Android Development] JagoX:
Didn't see much chatter on their twitter account with regards to updates, do they by chance have a website that maybe isn't posted?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthechickengod:
This is just hypothetical. Lets say I changed my SD card and accidentally formatted it in Windows and I messed something up and I need to go back to the factory default ROM after loading a custom ROM. Is the factory default located in microSD card or in a special place on the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperDave81:
Search the dev forum for "how to unroot, s-on". The stock rom is posted there. It's not on your sd card.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
Whenever you officially rooted your phone, you might have backed up your STOCK rom onto that SD card, if you did, then its gone. But if you search the stickies in the dev thread you'll find a stock image, either for the dz, or the G2. Nothing is stored on the sd card other pictures, whatever apks or downloads you have, or whatever files you choose to have on there. Everything else runs from the phones memory.

hello everyone.... fairly new too here but i have post before back in my mugal days..

Ok im having a big problem with my tablet, after a factory wipe (reset), and after boot up i get the introductory screen but the keyboard wont pop up. I then i figure let me just skip this part.

Get to what supposed to be the home screen but i get nothing just a black screen, but i am able too see notification bar with time and battery status but below is just black. I try and wipe again (holding volume down and power button) thinking maybe something didnt install correctly, and sure enought still the same problem. vibrate once followed by two consecutive vibrates (error setup wizard failed start force close)

called sprint they couldn't help me. Now my question is do anyone have the stock sprint firmware in the form of a update.zip so i can put on sdcard and flash to see if that fixes problem or do i just have a brick?

1) Wrong forum

2) Download Roto JME v4 (It's on this forum)

3) Flash using Odin.

hey ppl..,

I want to know tht in which folder of rom(zip file) are the system wallpapers located(not the live wallpapers)the normal ones...thnx for the replies in advance....

[Captivate Themes and Apps] crecsky:
Does anyone know of an application in which you can disable Auto-Rotation on just the Home Screen instead of disabling it altogether?

It disables the Auto-Rotation in all of your programs if you disable it in settings. This gets annoying if you go into your gallery.

Maybe there is a program that can change the auto rotation properties of specific apps.

Thanks for your help guys.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
depends on what launcher you are using....what launcher are you using?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] vunuts:
Beautiful widgets has a toggle widget for disabling/enabling auto rotation. But I'm pretty sure there's no app to apply rotation restrictions to specific apps. But search google and see if you can find anything. It also does depend on the launcher in some cases. Are you rooted, running 2.1/2.2/2.2.1 roms or anything?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SkateEmerica987:
This would be a great idea for someone to make into an app if it doesn't exist. I too would like to disable home screen rotation, but still be able to use the landscape keyboard and such in other apps without having to change the settings.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
if you use a different launcher like launcher pro or adw, those settings are available to you. if you use froyo or gingerbread launcher, it doesnt rotate.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] crecsky:
I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. I run the stock 2.2 launcher and I prefer it over LP and ADW. I know I am able to completely turn Auto-Rotate on or off, but I would just need it off for the home screen (maybe the browser and messaging too). It gets annoying turning it off and going into the gallery and not being able to view in landscape mode. I also don't want to have to continuously be toggling a widget or going into my settings. I'm rooted, and I assume such a program would require full permissions.

I guess it hasn't been made yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
stock 2.2 launcher? like the froyo launcher? or touchwiz?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] crecsky:
We are in the Captivate thread, so... Touchwiz. It's the "stock" launcher of the Captivate.

Not that your question needed to be answered because it doesn't have any relation about what this thread is about.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] vunuts:
If you're running 2.2, the pulldown menu at the top should have the auto rotation toggle in it. It's really not that much of a hassle. Swipe down. Disable. Swipe the menu closed. Carry on about your business. If there's an app or one gets created, it's always going to be running in the background no matter if you have the "disable app" to work with one app or forty apps, and it's just gonna be lurking there in the bushes, getting ready to take your battery from behind with no lube. No lube at all.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
wow. i apologize for trying to understand what you are running....you know, since 'STOCK' means different things around here....and it absolutely pertains to what this thread is about

carry on. sorry to be of some major burden to you....
[Captivate Themes and Apps] vunuts:
Honestly, "stock" does have about 6 or 7 different meanings and implementations around here.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bethanensinger:
I dont know what you are necesarily refering to here, but what I would like is a widget or icon that I can put on my homescreen that would allow me to just move from auto sensor to portrait only for my homescreen, not the whole system. I know that it can be enabled through most launcher settings, like LP and ADW and GO Launcher, but if there were to be a shortcut to toggling this it would be awesome
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Word to the wise. When asking other people a question you really want the answer to, don't act like an arrogant sob. Be it one sentence or an entire explanation. There taking time out to help you. Take me for instance. I was going to dig pretty hard for a solution to this partly for you and partly for a friend that likes stock over lp. But after reading all your posts you just come off as an obnoxious brat. Of the two of you Im only going to give the solution i find (if any) to one of you. Take a wild guess at who won't get it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] crecsky:
All I was getting at is he's asking these questions when I was just wondering if there was an app that would stop the home screen from auto rotating but leave everything else defaulting.

It's a simple question. It has nothing to do with running a different launcher, I already know LP and ADW do such a thing, but I don't want to use them. That's why I was asking.

I wasn't asking for a launcher, I was asking for a background app like "Keep the Lights on" or "Set CPU."

I'm sorry for coming off as "arrogant" or a "snob" but he's digging too deep, asking questions he doesn't need the answer to. As well, his questions came off kind of rude to me. That's probably why I responded the way I did.

Anyways: Simple app that stops home screen rotation.

Smart Rotator (SmartDog Studio HK) and Smart Auto-Rotate (Asteri Software) are possible solutions.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Captainkrtek:
Enough of the Off Topic posts and rudeness, I will not tolerate it.

Also to solve the problem, not sure if this is available on the Captivate, there is an extra button you can enable in the Power Control widget that allows you to lock the screen vertically.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentzschman2000:
Was wondering if we can get a ROM section with all ROMs in one place?

That would be sweet.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
The dev section is more or less a rom section.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I don't think a separate section is needed, but what would help is a common format to identify threads which contain ROM's. For example, starting a ROM thread with "[ROM]". Iced Glacier is an example of a ROM thread that doesn't follow that format and therefore doesn't stand out as much as it could.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentzschman2000:
Maybe a sub section within the dev area....
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keverline:
Have you checked out the Wiki?

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Glacier

Section 1.4 sounds like exactly what you are looking for.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHNS:
Nice suggestion but no need to clutter the forums section as its already classified under Dev. Now I understand it maybe little hard for new users to get use to on what is what from thread title. But one must do research on howto and find it for themselves as if you brick it you are responsible for your own actions.

Best thing I can tell new user is they ask the folks in General or Q&A section to help them list stable roms and report their user feedback on pro/con about the rom this way you can get many input and ultimately flash it yourself and decide.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentzschman2000:
Oh nice.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
Realistically, seasoned users have no issues finding roms in the dev section, and new users shouldn't even be aloud to read thre dev section until they've been here for a while and have the chance to learn a little bit so they have a clue before they start trying to flash their phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokedoke:
Hi all.

I flashed Firebird v0.3 with CWM, after flashing stock and then 10.2, letting it load first, then go to recovery for Firebird 2.

When it reboots, it gets to the perception screen and does the whole force close vibrations.

Fresh as can be, master cleared. Am I doing something wrong, or is my phone being beachy and not letting me flash its kernel?

Thanks!

Yeah, I know it's possible... I frequent the forums. I'm just wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong. I'm no noob to flashing or coding... but I'm not the best.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K41N2358:
Hey guys,

I tried getting some help for this over at the Nook Color threads because it all started *after* i rooted my NC, but no one's been able to explain to me what Ive done wrong or whats happened...

So here's the sitch.

o I have ADB installed, but it only activates in device manager when the nook is plugged in, not the G2

o When the NC get usb'd to the PC, it fully registers and gives me access to the SD card on it

o .... where as the G2 just sits there and says "yay im getting power!"

o ,,,, BUT if i plug it into a HUB rather than directly into a usb port on the mobo or front, the PC (win7 x64 ult) seems to see it but doesnt know how to properly assign a driver to it and gives it UNKNOWN

o also i checked the usb-adb ini file, and it lists all my other devices in the hardware cues BUT the G2, which means it hasnt properly registered since then or never had a proper profile to begin with in the PC. It even has my older mt3G listed which I havent plugged in since all this started.

Ive tried multiple driver types, but literately, NOTHING has worked. Its like the G2 isnt even properly registering in the computer when connected. I tried a factory reset, but still no luck. Is there anything beyond a soft fact reset for an unrooted phone? I mean, i need COLD AS STONE back to day 1 reset.

Please help, I really want to root this :'<

and no, the only way now to access my sd card is to turn the thing off and use a reader. Like i said, it literately is NOT seeing it :<
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dictionary:
Wrong section. Ask in the Q&A, not the DEV section.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Try installing HTC Sync, even though it doesnt work with the G2 because its sense based, it will install the proper drivers for you. This worked for me.

Heres the link:

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804

Another method would be install pdanet on you phone fron the Market, then install pdanet for your computer from here and it should install the drivers when you plug your phone in with pdanet app running:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K41N2358:
I tried the Sense link, but I couldnt find the download option for it.... anyways, heres a more precise description of the issue

When I go and install PDA Net, it loads up the drivers, but the computer literately is not even registering that a DEVICE has been plugged in via USB. I dont even get the USB connect prompt on the phone!

That's what Im saying, something is up. I need to take the cable with me and try this on another computer now that I think about it to rule out that something isnt damaged on the phone...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
What ROM are you using? Gingerbread ROM's act like the (for now), at least from what I understand. I tried CM7 and sure enough - it acted just like what you're describing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K41N2358:
But thats the whole thing, im not using a ROM, its just the stock OS build. if i was using a ROM, id have tried removing it and reloading it, but this is on a phone that isnt even rooted yet... actually... should I try going temp root again and see if that fixes anything?

Whats the best way to do that now since I keep reading Vision got pulled away because it was damaging phones or something?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K41N2358:
Okay, so i tried plugging it into a diff computer.... same result... so whatever it is, its the phone.

Any ideas XDA pplz?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuka325:
Has it seen the g2 before? if so, get usbdeview, find the drivers in there that would be used for the g2, delete those. Snag PDANet and download that, plug the phone back in and see what ya get. You will get the pop ups again about the new software being loaded since it will have to find and reload drivers for the phone and PDANet will have the drivers you need.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Like the guy above me said, DL or re-DL the drivers (though none should be needed if you're using it as a storage drive, the comp sees it as a usb drive). Is it charging your phone when you plug it in? It's rare, but the USB cable may be bad.

The only other thing I can think of is that something went wrong and the phone isn't releasing the mount to the sdcard, in which case you should try rooting and using a different ROM or a stock rom and it should help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K41N2358:
Well thats the whole thing, the computer doesnt even see the USB part of it. Thats been my whole issue. The computer doesnt see the phone or the usb drive part. It straight does not see the phone at *all*! Doesnt even show up in Dev Manager, but yet it gets power. I even went and got a new micro USB cable, fresh, and still nothing.

im getting to 86 the os and reload Win7, im like super uber pissed over all this because i cant figure it out. I dont even know whats wrong >_<!
