As stated before I am new to the android system. I am seeing all these different roms and trying to keep up with each as it gets developed. Just can't seem to choose one that would be best for my needs. I email constantly and make many calls and texts thru the day. I also need the camera to be functioning. Of course all this eats thru my battery pretty quick. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] cachorropedorro:
How about you just use stock with the oc kernel? If you're new to android, maybe its not the best idea to hop into testing new and upcoming roms that are missing some key features and aren't too stable yet. Wait until the problems get ironed out is my suggestion.

Q

This is a great answer to take to heart. Not just for new users.

Half the threads for Android Development on ANY device are filled with users complaining about the things not working that are stated in the op.

Try nfinite's roms. He does GREAT work with the stock roms. Work yourself up at your pace, and always make backups!

Hi :),

On my HD2 I've an english rom installed ( MIUI stock 1.2.4 AU/DEV by jan-willem3 ). I don't want to switch to a french rom ( or set this to french with morelocale 2 or another language switch program and download the french lang pack ), I just want to use one application in french ( Google navigation ).

Someone can tell me how can I do this ?

Thanks !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohseedee:
I dont typically start new threads because everything has pretty much been answered before, but I was not able to find the answer I was looking for.

A couple months ago I switched from a sense rom to CM6 and now I'm running CM7. I'm using the Kernel that came with CM7 nightly. I want to try a new sense rom and be able to switch back and forth between the 2. The main reason is 4g and HDMI. I've read that nandroid does not backup the kernel, so simply restoring from nandroid between sense and CM7 sounds like it might be an issue due to different kernels for sense and CM.

Whats the best method for switching between the two on a regular basis?

Thanks for the help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Yep, tons of people keep multiple nandroids specifically for this purpose. I don't know where you heard that it doesn't back up the kernel but that is incorrect, it definitely backs up the kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohseedee:
awesome. Thanks! Yeah I thought it did too. But i came across something that said differently today. Maybe I miss read it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea, you can. Nandroid backs up everything...apps, data, wimax...I primarily use CM7 but I flash to Mikfroyo just to update my PRL, and flash back to CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yep, thats exactly what I do. I have backups for a few different roms that I have setup how I like. So I can flash between roms whenever I want. It only takes a few minutes, and I dont have to worry about reloading apps and settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
I run CM7 Nightlies. Before installing a new Nightly release I backup my current install so I can revert if something isn't working correctly. I also keep a Nandroid backup of Fresh for things like updating my PRL and the use of the ## codes. It makes it easy to switch back and forth. Give it a try!

[Nexus S General] reelportal:
Android 2.3 provides 2 methods to open the camera (link):

1) open()

2) open(cameraId)

Method 2) is new to Android 2.3, but not many apps use it yet. Method 1) is provided in Android 2.2, which many video chats app uses. Unfortunately, it is hardcoded to access the rear camera:

public static Camera open() {

int numberOfCameras = getNumberOfCameras();

CameraInfo cameraInfo = new CameraInfo();

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfCameras; i++) {

getCameraInfo(i, cameraInfo);

if (cameraInfo.facing == CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK) {

return new Camera(i);

}

}

return null;

}

I would like change this logic so that it read in the camera index from some file, e.g. defaultCamera.txt, so the user can change the default cam any time without recompiling.

For someone who has compiled Android before, it would be easy to make this mod. Unfortunately, I don't have the resources to do it.

Any takers out there?
[Nexus S General] GuestK00102:
Can't you just use Fring?
[Nexus S General] reelportal:
If Fring works on 2.3, then I'd say it's one of a very few apps that are using the 2) method above. However, most other apps are still using the 1) method.

One of them is Adobe AIR 2.5.1, which my ReelPortal app depends on. So while waiting for Adobe to update it's AIR runtime to use the new 2) method, I figured it may be possible to change the underlying Android 2.3 to works with older software by modifying method 1).

You are probably wondering why don't I just abandon AIR. It'd be a lot of rework that I can't afford to do, and more importantly, AIR allows my software to run on multiple platforms. Currently my app runs on PCs, Android, and Blackberry Playbook (simulator). But I anticipate it to work on WebOS when that's out. And potentially iPhone/iPad as well if/when Adobe and Apple play nice w/ each other.
[Nexus S General] jonjon68:
Haven't used Fring but Tango uses the front camera. And exceptionally well even on 3G.
[Nexus S General] matt_stang:
This would probably be very easy to do. I'll take a look at it
[Nexus S General] CB620:
im sure i can speak for everybody when i say we would rather use skype. the update needs to come quick.
[Nexus S General] reelportal:
I wouldn't say "everybody", but I'd agree most people would use what they are used to. My software is designed to be more flexible for unconventional use.

For example, when both front and back cameras are fully supported by the underlying layers (AIR or Android), it would be possible to stream from both cameras simultaneously. So you can place the phone on a table for a video conference call, and the other side will see everyone at the front and back. I'm just thinking out loud here, as I hadn't actually done it with any phone yet.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Thats not necessary man. reelportal is trying to develop an alternative that has other uses as well and telling him that others do it better is just rude.

Keep up the work man, some fools man not see the point in trying to do what hasn't been done but I appreciate your effort.
[Nexus S General] reelportal:
Thanks for the support. Sometimes it's hard to get new ideas across to everyone. ReelPortal as it is right now is just a foundation for the stuff that I want to add on later, so there's a lot of work ahead for me.
[Nexus S General] CB620:
I'm not saying what he is doing is irrelevant I'm talking about the availible video chat apps that our phone can use. I was not being rude. I'm speaking for people that would like to use other choices besides tango because android didn't develop much for our phones
[Nexus S General] CB620:
I support you as well that's why I better clarified what I said. i would like to see this as well
[Nexus S General] nxt:
You came across as rude because the original post has nothing to do with other video chat apps. He was asking a programming question and you replied with 'use fring'

It's like if I asked about building an engine for a car I'm making and someone replies back 'take a bus'

[Nexus S General] Smilez_c:
i THINK Qik now supports SNS video calls. The update says 'support for Dell Streak' but it doesnt crush on my SNS anymore....
[Nexus S General] sadkorean34:
I confirm this!
[Nexus S General] Dishe:
For the record, I just discovered Reelportal, and anyone who hasn't tried it simply doesn't understand how amazing it is or why we totally need this in addition to Skype video.

You can't compare it to Skype, its not the same thing at all. Skype is an account-based system where you log in and find users. This is more like an impromptu video chat room that supports up to 5 people simultaneously.

Skype does support multiple people (not sure if the new Skype 2.0 does for mobile yet), but only if you are willing to pay for it. Oovoo supports 3 people free, but you have to find people who are signed up for and installed Oovoo.

Here's the thing with Reelportal: IT RUNS IN A FREAKING BROWSER WINDOW!

That means you could tell everyone and anyone to join in your video chat from any computer (browser with flash required, that's it!), sort of like a video party line. You can keep your room private by putting a password on it as well, or even host your own server if you don't want to keep it publicly available.

I'm imagining the uses now- a group meeting with coworkers across the world, just tell them a time and what room name to log in and meet you. Or if I'm giving my 1 year old her first ice cream cone and want my whole family from multiple locations to log in and join us live.

I think this is totally brilliant and I'm beside myself at the short sightedness of folks who quickly dismissed this as just another Skype, Fring, Yahoo IM, Qik, etc. Those apps are all awesome, but this is something different.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure I understand the problem with accessing the front camera. I thought the new camera API was supposed to make this simpler for developers?

Is the problem that setting it for the front camera breaks support for older devices that rely on the old routine (G-tablet, etc)?

Why not offer two versions of the app- one for Gingerbread, and one for legacy?

[Q] Why Do I get this error "The Parameter is incorrect." Trying to Write to my Phone

I have a brand new Samsung Captivate from Rogers.

I have updated it to 2.2 using kies.

I then did the one click root.

Now when I connect it to my computer I get "The Parameter is incorrect." every time I try to copy a file or make a new directory.

I have formatted the memory from the phone and I can then copy files or make folders temporarily. Until the phone decides that it wants to throw the error again.

I can also run a check disk from my computer with “Automatically Fix system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" check. This will also fix the problem temporarily.

So how do I fix the permanently?

This is my first post so please don't flame me to bad.

Thanks in advance.

If you use root explorer or ASTRO (which is free) to navigate to the root directory of your phone, look for the folder named 'etc' inside that folder should be 2 VOLD files. make a copy of these.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windburn:
So I just got off the phone with samsung and they told me to return the phone to rogers because rogers website is giving the wrong firmware.

Now I do not know if this is true but I would like to fix the problem.

They also said that I can not put the correct 2.2 on as kies will see the wrong 2.2 and not install the correct one.

So now I guess I have no choice

Once I got some laging on my tattoo and factory reset + formating SD really helped... I had some garbage all over the SD card after too much installed and removed apps.

Custom ROMs are risky but great way to literally reborn the phone... For four months I was using the stock 1.6 and it was working nice but this custom ROM I'm currently using is much faster then the stock!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jM2.me:
Hello,

I am a software/web developer. Lately I had an idea to make an interface for easy CWM Rom Modifications. Basically like online rom editor.

The program flow is simple.

1. You upload zip rom from your computer, link or choose one from server.

2. You modify basic rom features. Possible functions (some):

add/remove/replace apps

custom launchers

build.prop editor

add/remove/replace fixes/updates

3. Once done you can download, get qr code, share, upload to rapidshare,megaupload,etc

I can make such thing in a week and ready to use. Questions is, would anyone use it?

Personally I can find it useful for me because i switch roms daily and i prefer launcherpro instead of stock, custom wallapepers, etc etc. So instead of installing each rom and modifying it locally you could do it with few clicks from your browser, even possibly from phone itself.

But once again, does that sound something that you would find useful?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:
I like the idea, however, with ROM dev's in mind, i would not make it so one can share the ROM they uploaded. I would make it so the person who uploaded the ROM they can then download it after their modifications were made. I just know that some ROM devs wouldnt appreciate their work being passed on and shared without their approval, a lot of devs dont like mirrors being created and even though the user modifies the ROM, its still not their work since the code is the developers. But yes i would like something like this. i already have a batch file set up that just adds the things i want. :P
