Version 1.10 is out :)

Fixes (hopefully!):

- ANR (set network timeouts)

Features:

- Added SD-EXT wipe option (app and app-private), inside the data wipe one

- Support for more recovery actions in a row (for example, wipe + install. Only in code ATM)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
I will work on adding my ROM in for testing soon, looks promising and much easier than ROM Manager for devs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arminsoyka:
Where exactly are the repositories supposed to be? Can't find them under settings!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
Settings -> List of repositories
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] uansari1:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the development got onboard, this would allow one to flash incremental updates based on changes made to the rom from a prior release?

If so that would be an amazing evolution to flashing. Especially for folks like me that spend a lot of time painstakingly going through and cleaning up stuff we don't want as far as apps and such that are in most roms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] arminsoyka:
Works now, thanks. Was still on the outdated version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
Incremental updates mean that only the changes are applied. If you delete an application which isn't changed from version to version, it won't get applied again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
looks sweet, but shouldn't that go to the dev forum?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
A moderator moved the thread from the dev to the general forum.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
Version 1.12 is out in the market:

- FIX: odd number in info popup

- FIX (hopefully): crash on rotation while downloading files

- FIX: changelog for ROMs with spaces in their name

- Added: backup management (browse, restore, delete)

- Added: downloads management (browse, apply, delete)

- Changed: lists are now filling parents and not wrapping content (more android-like)

- Changed: download files via AsyncTask (as it should have always been)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
Version 1.13 (build 17 lol) is out

- Moved input streams (data reading) in asynchronous tasks, so that the application should not freeze for few seconds anymore. This should also fix some crashes that have been reported (if not all of them). Thanks for reporting!

- Added an info popup when entering the repositories list informing the user about its dynamic nature.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mokurex:
Actually it should be in Themes and Apps, since this is discussing an application.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
version 1.13.3 is out (.1 .2 were also).

Small bugfixes, some null pointer fixes (I can't reproduce them, but they're not reported)...

Now the "main" part of the application is just fine. Next versions will implement a status bar notifier about the download process and an "extra" repository file which will link to, indeed, extra downloads, like custom kernels or themes. It will be meant to be compatible with only the latest patch, even if the extra downloads will be available for all the versions. (i.e. a kernel may be shared between versions, while the user will know themes will be for sure available for the latest).

A comment though: I received (fortunately few) 1-stars, or 1-star comments. Well... I think it's childish to say "1 star - ****", or "1 star - ROM Manager rulez". I ask you all to comment my app and to report as spam those messages, as this is the way to fight them.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] elegos:
Version 1.14:

- Added Chinese translation (thanks to tenfar @ github for the translation)

- Added the possibility to set a property in /system/build.prop (ro.romupdater.repository) instead of hand-writing the xml preferences file. This will NOT override the user's preference, if set or void ("").
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] willverduzco:
Precisely. As such, I am moving it there.

Also, this sounds like a great tool.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chalisto:
Every custom-rom should integrate these romupdater. good work elegos, your work is a improvement in rom updating!

[Atrix 4G General] antonymilo:
Would Atrix be released in Europe?
[Atrix 4G General] Rastor:
Yes, it's coming to Orange in the UK.
[Atrix 4G General] antonymilo:
4G? or 3g? i am from Greece and if it comes with 3g to europe i will buy it for sure!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] Rastor:
The Atrix will do 3G in Europe. The 4G on the Atrix is HSPA+ which will probably be USA-only. It does not support LTE.
[Atrix 4G General] kurolife:
well it is coming to europe, here in France the first operator to get it will be Orange(date release march).

I doubt it will be a 4g since france will start constructing it LTE network this year, but it will be HSPDA (dunno if it is + since it is still tested by operators such as SFR) but for sure it will be 3G+ or 3.5G
[Atrix 4G General] sn0pzer:
Lol, there's already a site that offers the "Motorola ATRIX European Version" for pre-order. According to them, the retailprice will be $499.99 and they sell it for $399.99. Here's a link to the site: http://www.cellhut.com/Motorola-ATRIX-Unlocked-Quadband-European-Version-GSM-Cell-Phone-30366.html It doesn't look very trustworthy though
[Atrix 4G General] LockeCPM4:
The device will be the same in the US vs Europe. The "4G" title is really just 3.5G speed. Since it supports speeds of up to 14.4Mbps, similar to the LTE speeds Verizon will have initially, the device is being marketed as 4G.

The data speeds on this thing will be limited only by the network, so if your carrier supports HSPA+ of 14.4Mbps or better this phone will be fast. Don't get confused by "4G" marketing techniques used in the US.
[Atrix 4G General] zorxd:
The HSPA+ 14.4 Mbps is not USA-only. It will work on any provider that supports it (like all providers in Canada)

Of course it must also be on the frequency bands of the Atrix (850/1900/2100 MHz). I don't know if the Euro version will be any different (900/1900/2100 maybe?)
[Atrix 4G General] Rastor:
Ah thanks for the correction, I am not that familiar with the Euro market.
[Atrix 4G General] cantIntoCode:
I've always been a vodafone man so hopefully vodafone will get it sooner rather than later. Can't wait to get my hands on one!
[Atrix 4G General] Burko:
You'll be able to buy it sim-free from Play.com, Expansys etc.

Expansys have a product page up now, but no price details as yet.
[Atrix 4G General] Huck33:
the fastest way is to buy it when it will be availablein the US

in france, there's an unofficial date : june of this year

wait and see
[Atrix 4G General] LockeCPM4:
June!? Wow by that time we will be nearing our next release of Superphones. That is really odd considering Europe usually gets the best devices.

Well, if you don't want to wait you could always go for the similarly speced LG Optimus 2x...
[Atrix 4G General] stunno:
Well the plot thickens!
[Atrix 4G General] Rastor:
Strange considering they issued that press release and all...

http://newsroom.orange.co.uk/2011/0...otorola-atrix-the-future-of-mobile-computing/
[Atrix 4G General] meta96:
problem is that the atrix is seen as

a weapon against the iphone5, so the providers want to use it "fresh" against the iPhone5 launch in june/july ... so i think we will get it in april/may/june. but hopefully some european providers are smart enough and launch it in march ... because with the docks it is much more than just an iPhone5 competitor ...

... and i also want to see it free ( amazon, ph ... ) as soon as possible ... moto?
[Atrix 4G General] Wolfas:
I just can't wait to see a sim-free version for sale, this will definately be my next smartphone! :)
[Atrix 4G General] SimonOnline2000:
Are there already rumors for a release date in Germany?
[Atrix 4G General] BuzzFuzz:

Windows will not recognize the phone. Yes ive installed the drivers. I tried all usb ports. I need a way to do it without using a computer. I want to use the wireless tether app and need the phone to be rooted so i can get the free wifi from the phone. internet is gonna get cut off bcuz i cant afford the bill this month. please help. ive been going thru hell t say the least.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leatherneck6017:
Or try a different cable, the one that comes with the phone is crap.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SINNN:
I have the same problem. With trial and error I found some very bizzare solutions.

1: choke a turkey and slam it on the pc box.

2: when the pc detects but dont show it as epic, go to device manager and under usb select the "unknown device" and right click and uninstall it. Unplug the phone and refresh the device manager. Then remove tge battery and put it in again. Replug the phone and it will detect it correctly. If it dont, redo the steps. If it fails on the 5th attempt, well you plug the epic, hold it upside down (meaning face down) and keep it like that. Dont turn it over. Weird but on my pc, when it detects it and I flip it upright, it looses the detection, when I flip it the other way.. It detects it. I can flip all day and it detects and undetects. Weird but it does it. Maybe g sensor doing sonething causing ti undetect?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manaup:
What usb cord are you using? I had that problem too. The only way my laptop could read my phone even after drivers were installed was through the OEM samsung cord.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neptune5k:
I agree with Leatherneck. The cable that comes with the phone is great for charging because its long, but as a data cable is sucks. You can try other usb ports; in my experience, the stock cable only works directly off a motherboard header, no hubs or front-usb ports. Get on ebay and find yourself a better cable. I got one for $2 shipped here in the states that is much thicker and will work regardless of what port I plug into.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SINNN:
I use the stock usb cable. Never had issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlatinlove:
The command prompt would not recognize my cellphone when I did the One click root. What I did was restart my cell phone and on the computer bring up the Task Manager and went to the processes tab and ended the process for "adb.exe" and re ran the run.bat.

And then it worked fine for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Sometimes the one click gets hung up trying to find the phone. Just unplug the cable from the phone, plug it back in, and it should continue on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinoto:
If you can't root with one of the quickies, try downloading superoneclick (easy way to get necessary files, plus they are updated) from forum.xda-developers (dot) com/showthread.php?t=803682 and follow this guide thetechjournal (dot) com/electronics/mobile/how-to-root-the-motorola-droid-2.xhtml

If your phone doesn't have cp like mine, then just replace "cp x y" with "cat x > y". If you continue to have problems with this method because of windows detection issues, try downloading a livecd of a linux distro like DSL, puppy linux, or ubuntu (ubuntu worked for me, not sure if the others will).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
Was usb debugging on? That's what stalled my root the first tim I was on dk28 lol

Also, the stock cable is the only cable I use on the epic and never have problems
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
You get cp when you install busybox, which requires root. Using cat and a redirect is just a roundabout way to do the same thing as cp.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprocha101:
Before you run the one-click go to your task manager and under the processes tab stop adb.exe. Usually works for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinoto:
But how do I get busybox onto my phone without a workaround if cp doesn't exist on the phone in the first place? Can files be pushed directly to the phone memory after remounting /system as read/write?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rer1:
Hi experts,

I had a luca16thebig wm6.1-rom flashed a few weeks ago, it worked quite well. Then I decided to flash the latest T-Mobile-Original-fullrom (radio,os-wm5,ext), because I wanted the updated radio and it was german and I was curious about it. After flashing my Universal (64mb) didn't start (dark, nothing). I flashed then the latest orig. O2-Rom, that worked without any problems. Because it was english and a little bit outdated. I flashed t-mobile again, but this time without the radio, this time it started without problems. After that I unlocked the extended-rom. What I first realized was, that the content of the storage and the extrom was nearly the same, same as if the extrom was mapped on the storage. I deleted then the cabs in the storage and apparently those deleted cabs where still in the extrom, at least from totalcommanders view. After a few minutes my universal crashed and after restart, I saw only hyroglyphs, directories and files with special-characters in storage and extrom, even after hard-reset. I flashed then the luca16thebig-rom again which has an extrom by itself, but the corrupted storage stayed the same. Only after flashing the extrom-only from t-mobile, storage and extrom became available again.

My questions now:

1) How could this corruption happen ?

2) What is the relation of storage to extrom ?

3) Why is with a full rom-flash the extrom not overwritten ?

4) Is the location and size of extrom in all roms the same ?

5) Is there a way to "format" storage or ext-rom?

btw.I read about a mtty-command task 28 to format the device. Is it adviced to apply this command before every flash?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] -Jonny-:
to clear the ext-rom, flash the attached. hope this 'clears' things up for you!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gamecore:
In WINMO 6.5 i was able to assign any contact in my SIM/phone to an email addy and then when i would compile a email i was able to select from the list of everyone who is assigned with an email and tick as many as i want and then email them.

Now im wondering if there is a way to do this on Droid using DFT stock desire rom or would i need to obtain a third party program to do it or it just cant be done?

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT* I figured it out, the only way was to import all of my contacts from SIM into the phone then once i was able to view the contacts from the phone i had access to more options with additional info for each contact.

It will eventually hit Android after most phones hit 2.3 because of the lower level api's available in 2.3. Also, Android is a more suitable OS to use in low cost embedded systems because of no licensing fees and the performancs impact of Android. With the work Sygma systems on the porting of the XBMC system to work with a ARM cpu, we should see an Android port in a month or so.

That's what I was thinking with Sygma working on it now.

[Legend General] ishan_rulz:
Hello all, I know you'd tell me to use the Search Tool and I did but I don't have the time to try each and every ROM this forum has to offer.

At the moment I am using "MoDaCo Custom Froyo ROM for the HTC Legend"

I have all the stock FroYo apps +

(1) Anyway, I'd like a ROM which is FroYo (is Gingerbread faster?) which is faster and is possibly lighter on battery/resources. Boots real quick and is snappy fast. HTC Sense is not necessary as I use the Zeam Launcher (really good launcher, indeed.) I use only one home screen and no widgets.

(2) I don't even use the stock applications like App Sharing, Desk Clock, FM Radio, Footprints, Friend Stream, Latitude, "Learn More", Navigation, News and Weather, Peep, Places, Quickoffice, Stocks, Flickr, Adobe Reader, Teeter, Wi-Fi Hotspot.

(I know I can use Titanium Backup to remove these apps but I'd still like a ROM which would come without at least most of these apps)

(3) I don't use 3G or EDGE; just GPRS and WiFi

Secondly, any app suggestions?

EDIT: "[ROM] B 0.6 based on stock HTC FroYo (01/14/2011)" looks really cool but the apparent WiFi problems are holding me back. Can anyone confirm that it doesn't exist or if there is a work around?

[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
As per your request, I am here ;)

BlaY0's ROM is good, the wifi issue isn't present for me. CM6.1 has no market issues, just remember to flash it (gapps). I am using CM7 #13 at the moment, it's real smooth. Faster, JIT works propery. The battery life for me is about 15 hrs (YMMV). I can get 2 days over the weekend (ironically I use my phone less over the weekend).

Hope this helps,

Macro Focus Mode:

I wanted to see if the NS Macro Focus Mode is worth something so i decided to Give it my best shot and took some photos in a good daylight conditions to Maximize the results.

To tell you the truth i didn't expect much. after all, this is a SmartPhone not a Camera we are testing here.

We can always compare: technologies, Hardware, Lenses, sensor, ext...

But i believe that what really matters is the final result: The Photo.

And that's where i think the NS camera wins.
