Hi, could someone test the photaf app out (in Market) as I am having trouble using it on my Nexus S. I have emailed the dev and he seems to think its a hardware problem or calibration issue. When you load it up and 'create panorama', select auto. Once it has taken a photo you need to move the camera right or left (it tells you) and there is a frame on the bottom left that should move too. Mine keeps juddering.

Can you let me know how you get on so I can report back to the dev.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kaimyn:
I've used it once or twice with no issues.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tali3sin:
I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution? Was really looking forward to taking panoramas :(
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] phillevy:
This doesn't work for me either - I thought it was me not using it properly.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MarkusPO:
it's the borked gps / compass / accellerometers that are to blame, same problem for me. so yeah, hardware / driver issue. maybe the dev can "dampen" erratic values to work around this problem. and what an awesome app btw!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Haizum74:
No the dev said it was just hardware issue on the phone, I never got round to replying unfortunately. Shame as its a great app

Photaf

Hi,

I'm the Developer of Photaf. Did the latest Gingerbread update fixed the compass issues?

Regards,

Oren
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] deejaylobo:
Yes, it did. The compass works fine on 2.3.4
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] BenKranged:
It works better if you don't use auto and manually align it anyway.

Yesterday i flashed froyo on my Defy (Pays-Rom) and I'm missing the option to sort contacts by Surname.

As I remember from my HTC Sapphire, this option was introduced with the first Froyo builds (Cyanogenmod 6.0)

Can anyone help?

Also tried aContacts... but no such option. Thought this feature depends on the froyo SDK?

Hi, Currently running Sense(less) rEVOlution 2.0 with Kernel #4, is there a better kernel for better battery life? I like this combo very much but I think the battery could be better

Also looking for a true senseless, AOSP gingerbread rom with gapps included, or at least flashable, any suggestions?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete_kowalski83:
Try lous #8....closest thing to whst ur talkin about would b skyraider athena, that and the other 5 gingerbread roms in development
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
If you haven't tried chad's incredikernel:

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip

then I suggest you give it a go.

Use it without setCPU, at least at first. It has one built in so you really don't need one, if you find it too sluggish or you think you can set it better then put it on after you gave the whole Kernel a good run without it.

I find this Kernel very fast and the best for battery life that I've tried.

Not many of those. Really CM7 is the only one I've found worthy of flashing.

Try the RC1

(If you go with AOSP then you will need a different kernel than listed above)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paboater76:
Thanks guys for the replies.

I will try #8 tonight, also on chad's Kernels I have read the same and will be trying that one as well. I'm really liking Senseless 2.0 :) with Launcher pro Plus

Yeah I understand that with a sense rom you have to have a sense Kernel and with AOSP rom an AOSP kernel. Question though. IF i did decide to try and AOSP ROM, that AOSP rom should/would come with a new Kernel right? Just don't flash Lou's stuff/sense kernel after that.. only flash another AOSP Kernel. Is that right?

I have the Droidx so this Kernel stuff is new to me lol.. still learning.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
You got it :D Most/all ROMs for the Inc come with a kernel included. I personally like the one CM7 RC1 comes with, gives me great battery life

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddbubble:
my dell streak was deliverd this morning, already rooted it now im concidering a custom rom(streak droid 1.8) but i have a couple questions

what is the best rom manager to use as i have searched the fourums and cant seam to find a definitive answer

does streak droid come with the android market app
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
There is no rom manager that works properly on the Streak.

Streakdroid does include the android market.

You can use this guide to install Streakdroid 1.8.0 on your phone.See the section on latest Streakdroid ROM. Ignore the section about flashing amss.mbn if you are already on Android 2.2

1.8.0 release thread

I recommend that after flashing streakmod recovery to your phone that you do a nandroid backup of your current system. That way you can always restore it. Do this before making any other changes to your phone.

Note: a full reboot will overwrite streakmod recovery with the stock recovery. So when you first install streakmod recovery as you reboot hold both volume buttons down to go to recovery, don;t let the phone fully boot. Do your nandroid backup and then install the 1.8.0 ROM. I also recommend wiping the cache partition and dalvik cache before installing the new ROM.

[Xperia Arc General] Aiduharan:
Dont buy se! They won't update product in long term
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
that's mentioned around 50 times now here in almost every topic in this section, but thank you for starting another topic about it. And to prove I really listen to these kind of well motivated, proved by links which confirms statements posts, I pre-ordered 2 Arc's yesterday...

I really don't care about these manufacturers updates, our devs are doing much better jobs, losing all the default crap and making our phones better, faster and better looking than all manufacturers can do together. I only need a good looking empty shell which holds these creations together.

And if I don't like it, I will sell it and buy another phone, but I think it is just too good looking not to try it for a while. So instead of flaming I thought it might be nice for a change to motivate why I do will get an Arc (black for my wife and silver for me)

Cheers,

Arnold
[Xperia Arc General] HYPER-X10:
I'm getting 2 Arc's also.

:D
[Xperia Arc General] Mano1982:
I want to buy 1 as well :p I just hope it is not too expensive with the package i want to buy :p *finger crossed*

Pre-ordered two as well. One for me, the other one is for my brother

Can't understand those people coming here just to annoy us about SE

Recently I bought 2 external battery pack.

First is the energizer xp4001 4000mah battery pack. This battery pack kind of only allows me to have one full charge and a quarter charger then it runs flat.

To me this is not right, the same battery pack allows my gf iPhone 4 to have a few full charges
[Nexus S General] shanxybeast:
you're doing it wrong.
[Nexus S General] dplate07:
To add on I bought another 1900 Mah arigo microusb battery pack.

This lasts me 1 charge
[Nexus S General] dplate07:
Can you elaborate?
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
dude,

Its a joke...... Get it?

Lol

~Sent from my Nexus S with Swype~
[Nexus S General] dplate07:
TBH 4000mah should actudky have 2 charges or more ?!

I believe gtg said he would pass on the info of his launcher to anyone who wanted it.

Can't hurt to ask.

sweet.. was waiting for this..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ragin:
Looks pretty ay first glance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webstar1:
PM'd him 3 times
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rezou:
Looks promising but please, drop this Honeycomb theme to the trashs. Make it as simple as was TW by gtg.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vanahaim:
Thanks! Is possible in next version to enable landscape?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webstar1:
Yea im trying to figure that out as well, but im working on my ROM and have a exam coming up :eek:. Need to revise but the XDA Addiction ..................NOOOOOOOOO! i seriously need to sort myself out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webstar1:
ill make a plain version as well next time, i need help tho :(.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rezou:
I understand and you have my entire support ;).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] g00ndu:
What do you need?

Look at Launcher.config.xml for the 16bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] scheichuwe:
Enable landscape mode:

- Open AndroidManifest.xml

- Look for

android:screenOrientation

and change it from "nosensor" to "user"
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webstar1:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] saphirrot:
whats the difference between the old TouchWiz mod ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ragin:
The font looks a bit too bold for the screen. & the icons are a bit too flashy. They don't carry the subdued beauty of the background. Just my thoughts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jornbjorn:
sweet! nice to see someone is continuing this project, but i really think you should consider making a launcher as close to stock as possible with just the added tweaks. Speed, customizable default screen etc.

Keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] g00ndu:
I have managed to get additional locale to the gtglauncher without decompiling gtglauncher, but then again it is not perfect, and does exhibit a strange behaviour.

Whenever I reboot the phone, it will always force close once. After that, the launcher works perfectly, no force close or whatsoever. Landscape, portrait works just like as before.

pm me if you want to know the method.

Edit: The 1st time I tried is the 16bit disabled launcher, and it force closed. When I try the 16bit version, there is NO force close anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shawn_pro:
Thanks a ton for all ur hard work. A 5 icon Dock and Landscape Rotation would seal the deal. Let the donation pour in to webstar to support him.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] g00ndu:
Just a suggestion, it will look much nicer if you remove the backdrops. Currently looks too cramped and cluttered.

Hi all,

I thank webstar1 for his wonderful work. I made a small mod of his touchwiz mod with just another backdrop.

I know the wallpaper is kindda wierd.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NaabKing:
I think the Launcher should be just like GTG, meaning no numbers on home screen, 1 page can be Home page, no need to make it customizable, which you wanna, if theres 1, everything is ok, no background on icons, actually just like GTG Laucher with some modifications, for example, it would be cool, if it would have small numbers for unreaded messege or call on the dock (like Stock TW Launcher and GO Launcher EX).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webstar1:
I like the numbers :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NaabKing:
Dude, numbers are bad :P I can tell you why (= Many people have home screen on number 2 (including myself) and i dont want that it types number 2, cuz if you have it on number 1, you can only go right, if you have it on 2 you can go both ways or in other words, many people have home screen on center screen (meaning if you have 7 home screens, you have it on number 4), but its kinda bad if it types 4 :D that's my oppinion and thats one of the reasons i like GTG (=
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] webstar1:

If I may add, if you want a full list of the commands while in adb, just type 'adb' and hit enter. It will display a ton of commands that you can use in abd, including the push, pull, reboot, etc. commands.

There are probably more commands that just aren't listed using that command, but I found it very useful as I was perusing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks for the heads up, I totally spaced on that... ill add it to the OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WolfKaBaL:
I'm sure this is all great information to have here, but wouldn't a simple link back to Google's Android development pages been easier - it's pretty much the exact same information and even has images and video links.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Never fails... I do something here to make it easier than linking to another site and there's always that one guy who just can't be happy for whatever reason... my apologies for doing this... please, let me know who it killed from my efforts to make it easier on you and ill send my respects. I didn't know it was going to kill someone.

BT ignore them type cats man we all know you and team viper among others do great work here i can honestly say without you guys,dameon,mammon88 i wouldnt be contributing my own rom you guys offer and willingly give help FREE help at that lol so ignore them man its always one negative person law of nature we need balance even in XDA lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Lol I just feel like every time I say something on here, Michael Jordan creeps up behind me and sings in my ear "Anything you can do, I can do better.... I can do anything better than you"
[Epic 4G Android Development] WolfKaBaL:
I'm not trying to disrespect your efforts, and I do respect all the work you do on the roms and tools. But when it comes to stuff like this, I simply feel it's best left to the creators - eg: Google. Their repository of information is going to remain up-to-date and correct 99.9% of the time. Anything you post here will have to be continually updated as things change. Essentially you're fragmenting the information. That's the point of a central repository - to keep all the information together and current.

Also as far as the "making it easy" - and again, I mean no offence, but it is a lot easier to sort through and read the original documentation on Google's site simply because of formatting. [This is 100% a personal opinion though.]

In general though, if given the option to have to either link here to this post, or link back to Google and their posts, I'm pretty sure the better option is to link to the original content.

As for all the people dying and what-not.. not sure where you're getting at there, a little over-dramatic maybe? - All I'm doing is letting people know the content has been replicated - had you started off the post with a link to Google's documentation, and then continued with saying "to sum it all up, here's a quick reference" then everything is fine.

I'm not trying to troll or anything, but to a certain degree flooding the forums with redundant information becomes a waste of space, time, and effort (for the creator and the readers) - especially in the developer's section, as I think knowing of and how to use the SDK should be prerequisite for participation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpike:
Personally I disagree. Having been to googled sdk page, this seems more comforting and real world. Maybe its because, psychologically I feel I can get his help if I get stuck. I'm hearing first hand that he has done it. Same with the rest of the info in this forum. Knowing if you repeat these steps you will see these results. After all, theres nothing new here, just building off other peoples concepts/skills/code/designs/etc.

even if its just for me, the only idiot who needed help, I hope BT is glad he posted. Thanks man! Keep it up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I personaly am glad BT posted this here, I always find his instructions clear and concise, and I don't see how it's in anyone's way, you don't have to click on it. hopefully the remainder of this thread will deal with questions and issues regarding the matter at hand, the Android SDK :) I myself have it installed but probably not fully set up.... and this thread will help. thanks BT!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
You're entire post is a matter of opinion ...what you find easier others may not ....that's like saying that if you had to choose between chicken or a hamburger for dinner, you'd go with hamburger so everyone should... Some people may just like chicken. But thanks for your OPINION.

[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
your opinion matters not. What's best for THIS community is that this dev (and a damn good one at that) has put together a concise and easy to follow guide. He's also here to answer questions and help those that don't quite know how to use the SDK... can u get that over on google's site ?

right.

pretty sure BThomas won't mind updating as necessary, and if not, anyone that gets through this guide can go find the updated information on their own.. so, the problem is ........ ??

right..

u find sorting through information and digging for reference easier.. others find a step by step guide to be easier to navigate.. personally, a GPS navigation works similarly to a 'step by step' guide.. so this portion is trolling.

and you're the expert, right ??

I wasn't aware that BThomas needed your approval for posts, thanks for pointing that out

if you feel SDK should be a pre-requisite for participation, then how would developers get started ?? There's a dev in each of us.. the problem is that most of us don't have a good starting point because often times it's overwhelming the way google has collected the info.

This guide is an AWESOME way for someone to begin as a dev and I thank BThomas a ton for the effort putting it together.

Sorry for the 'bashing' in my post, but this guy pissed me off.

People don't come here just to be linked to other sites. The central repository for us, is HERE. Although reading the manual should be included, I'd much rather have real world knowledge from someone who knows what they're doing.

My opinion, of course ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
While I don't see the post here being necessary, I'll reserve my opinions.

I recommend that you add steps on how to add the SDK tools to the environment variables so that you can use adb (and, for all intents and purposes, the rest of the SDK toolset) from anywhere, not just the ~/SDK/platform-tools/ folder. It helps with a lot more than just adb for anyone considering any kind of serious development.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
I like this better than the way google explained it.

When I went to first install the sdk, I thought I HAD to get eclipse and stuff the way it was worded. I eventually figured verything out, but I would've rathered have had this guide here because its simply put together...on googles website, it seems they assume you're a developer...
