Very good point there, I'd not put those together.

I've gone through these threads and it looks like there's a lot of work been done for ARM compatibility by many, and that it's an ongoing project.

Nothing I've seen available for Android even approaches the level of sophistication and compatibility XBMC had the middle of the last decade on my XBox.
[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
I've been using XBMC for like 10 years, going back to my original modded XBOX. I use Boxee today on a couple of computers. Nobody wants one of these for my G Tab more than I do.

Until that day happens, PlugPlayer isn't too bad. It lets me browse my UPnP media server and play a lot of the files. It's in no way a full blown media center app like XBMC, but once the episode of 24 is playing on the tab, it's all the same to me...

Cheers!

[G Tablet General] shredness:
upnpplay is a nice free alternative as well.
[G Tablet General] kampf:
Likewise. I've still got an XBox running one of the T3CH builds of XBMC, and probably still have a copy of XBMP on it too, just because.

Thanks for the suggestions of other alternatives.
[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
Does UPnPlay play video as well? The site seems like just music.

Thanks!

I recently got a deal where I'm now the owner of a 16GB iPad 3G.

XMBC -05 runs rather well on it. I've played many videos from the local storage, over SMB shares, and from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit, and only High Profile 720/1080P videos have issue. The Iron Man 2 trailer, which I am confident is a 1080P Main profile MOV, runs seamlessly. Incredible considering the resources the iPad lacks (RAM specifically).

Unfortunately the sheer diversity of multi-core Android devices is going to make optimization difficult, but I am confident that this will happen at some point.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebill:
Did a search and didn't see anything about this. My daughter's eris wasn't charging. Verizon told her it was the battery. So she got one off Amazon for 7 dollars. She got the battery today and it wouldn't charge. Now Verizon is saying it's the Eris and it wouldn't be worth the cost for her to have it fixed. Would think they could check to see if it was the Eris or battery to begin with. Anyway, is there anyway to fix this? Since it's broken anyway, it can't hurt trying to fix it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moos3y:
I know my Eris doesn't always charge on my car charger because its not the "Verizon" labeled official charger. Basically saying that my off brand car charger doesn't always charge my Eris just because the USB connector is off somehow.

What kind of charger are you using? If it's the original stock and the battery still doesn't charge, you may have to get the phone replaced by another phone/repaired by Verizon/ or if still under warranty then just use that to get a 'certified like new' Eris
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebill:
She's tried it on several different chargers, including Verizon charger. Tried charging via usb port as well. Verizon said it would cost too much to repair. Unfortunately it's no longer under warranty. Thought of telling her to get a battery charger. She's got two batteries now. Could swap them out when one got low. Better than paying for a new phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tding10:
I have the same problem
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebill:
I think she's going to have to buy a battery charger. She has two batteries and can just swap them out. Still irks me Verizon couldn't tell it wasn't charging. Instead they say it's the battery. Can't they test it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Yom:
Hi guys,

So tonight, when I tried to flash a new partition layout on my HD2, my phone would not "see" the USB cable plugged into it. Thinking it was a problem with MAGLDR, I tried goign into the 3-color boot screen, where the "SERIAL" at the bottom never changes to "USB", no matter what port or computer I try it on. This is weird because I can connect as USB drive, and it is fully visible to the laptop...

Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

PS: Turns out I had a bad USB hub. Hate that!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Scabes24:
Have you tried a different usb cable? Or connecting without SD inserted? I would just try a complete refresh (task29, remove hspl, hard reset, stock WM rom, hspl, magldr again).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
I just flashed Bionix V over Nero v5. Per instruction from teamwhiskey/sombionix, I only restored third party applications and not system apps. I just realized some of my contacts are missing along with all of the mms, sms and call logs. How can I restore just the missing contacts. Plus How can I restore my mms/sms and call logs. Before flashing, I had backed up 'all user apps + all system data' so I know everything is backed up in titanium backup. What files am I looking for to restore these?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
You have to restore system apps to get the mms / sms back. As for the contacts, do you not have them setup on your gmail account or are they on your sim? Putting them in gmail would be the best thing from now on.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zormac:
You should be able to restore all of your contacts by clicking to restore "[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage" in Titanium Backup. It's one of the green items on your list. After they've been restored, reboot your phone.

That said, I tried doing the same thing and a bunch of my phone-saved numbers were still not restored. It's possible that I re-backed up a bunch of apps and data (including contacts info) on TB before the system had a chance to fully restore everything, therefore deleting a bunch of my contacts when I reflashed Bionix V to fix another mistake I made (what can I say, it was my first time rooting my phone and flashing a ROM), so it was all probably my own fault. Fortunately, I had almost all of my contact information on my old G1 still, so I just saved all of that to Gmail and it automatically synced w/ the Contacts on my Vibrant.

Otherwise, I would have had to use Odin or Heimdall to bring my phone back to stock so that I could restore the nandroid backup from when my phone still had the info. Or, I could have tried to simply flash a JI6 kernel, but with that came the risk of a Android 2.1 kernel severely clashing with a 2.2 system. In your case, it seems like you should be able to reflash Nero v5, restore a nandroid backup from that system, and save all of your contacts the proper way.

After learning the hard way, I will concur with others who suggest saving all of your contacts to Gmail in the future. Or, you can back up your contacts in your phone by choosing to "export" them to your external sd card in the Contacts menu.

I believe that you can retrieve contact info saved to your SIM card by choosing to "import" them in the Contacts menu, as well.

Best of luck!

Ok so I have gotten into launcher pro and now do not use sense... so I'm interested in aosp ... first off what is it? Why does it have its own kernels? And why would an aosp ROM be better than sense? Do you get better battery life? I guess in general I don't understand it and i didn't find on here where it talks about it.... any help would be great!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kotches:
AOSP is the Android Open Source Project. It builds from the released source code from google. It's the closest most phones can get to a "Google Experience" phone.

I'm not an expert on the kernels, but I believe that the source code released by the vendors is for reference purposes and not to be used in 3rd party ROMs. Someone else can give a much better answer on this than me.

GOT IT!? I hope so.

anyways:

It means Android Open Source Project.

When you see an AOSP ROM, it means its as basic as it gets. No Sense, no nothing. It runs generally faster than a sense based ROM. You just don't get any of the visual flash. But thats just how it comes... you can then add some flash and make it beautiful, quick, and long lasting on battery life. Cyanogenmod is a beautiful, quick, and long lasting ROM that I highly recomend for your AOSP ROM. It will take some getting used to, but with a few apps and tweaks you wont even realize you aren't using sense anymore.

it's all about what you like,after running the mikfroyo Rom for a while(sense Rom)and having tried CM6,CM7 nightlyz, I can honestly say that IMO those feel SLOW (CM6,7) in comparison...and everything works with sense. I agree that launcher pro is great and can add a lot more functionality, even with the dock alone...CM Mods you can customize the hell out of even change the notification bar color within the rom itself which is cool and tons of other things as well but I don't need all that..sense...IMO looks better overall as a user interface , sure launcher pro has sense like widgets,can get the knock off big dumb clock widgets from the market like beautiful widgets,but it's just not the same...I don't know how to explain it....it feels "generic" I guess..for me if my phone was stock vanilla android out of the box like my Samsuck Moment was (except I got a whole 3 home screens to choose from) or the nexus one,then I would run with launcher pro or adw and a CM mod. But in having the evo I can try both (sense,aosp roms) so I guess after rambling on for so long, its about what strikes your fancy more..is one better than the other IMO......no, but you should just do a nandroid back up of your current working set up and try one out CM6,7,or MIUI
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
AOSP is the Android Open Source Project, it's the Android source code that Google releases. So when ever a new Android version is released, Google puts it up on the site and everyone is free to use it. OEMs like HTC take that source code to create Android phones. So technically ALL ROMs are AOSP, this includes HTC Sense. A key difference with OEM ROMs, like HTC Sense and Samsung Touchwiz, is that they tend to include closed source proprietary code to make them stand out and have extra features. So the core of that code ends up being very different (and unavailable/unknown) to the original AOSP code. These core differences make kernels incompatible between each other; so AOSP kernels end up only working on ROMs where the core is very similar to the original AOSP code - for the EVO these ROMs include CM, MIUI, and some others I've never bothered to use.

Hi,

I have a HTC HD2 T9193 which I boot android 2.2 Froyo from the sd card. which is good enough for me. EXCEPT!, lately my wifi has not been functioning. It detects wifi networks and attempts to connect but at the point where its "obtaining I.P Address it disconnects and starts scanning again and repeats the process over and over. It used to work just fine and yet when I boot the phone back in windows 6.5 the wifi works perfectly.

Does anyone know what may be happening here and may be able to help me out? It would be much appreciated!! :confused:
[Continuum General] ExNukeSquid:
I am trying to learn more about my newish Continuum. I am quite tech savvy, but only have some experience with Android. I have downloaded and am trying things out on the SDK AVD Emulator with a Froyo build that has market and SU access. I have already learned a few things just messing around, but I want to root and go further on my Continuum and I want to make sure I do it right. I have searched a lot of the "How to root" read ups, but I want a good back up and I want to make sure I get it done right. A simple link to what/how other Continuum users have used to do this would be all I need.

Thank you in advance :)

All of the root discussions are over in the Continuum Android Development Forum. If you have not updated your phone to DL17 then rooting is easy. If you have done the maintenance update, we haven't cracked root yet.

You dont have banding? goto neowin.net with the android browser, look at the top left at the neowin logo, tell me if you see banding.

EDIT: I used the stock launcher and moved the weather widget around, even while moving it, it still had the banding, so launcher pro is effecting something.
