Ok I search all of my sd card and found no file with a .nomedia in it. Where would I find such a file, what does it do, and how would I have gotten it?

Ok I stand corrected I found a no .nomedia file. Do I delete this file?
[Epic 4G General] Zor Omega:
Ok that was it. I deleted it, rebooted and now everything is kosher. Thank you kindly for your help.

How does one get a .nomedia file anyway?
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I don't know where yours came from, but the .nomedia file is used to make the media scanner skip the folder with .nomedia in it and all sub-folders. It can be useful if you have folders full of junk that you don't need to show up in the gallery or wherever.

Can someone please post a link for where I can buy a cable that will allow me run run video/audio out from my Shift 4G to my current 08 G35 TV screen via RCA?

When my lease runs out on the G35, the new G37 replaces the RCA video/audio in with USB. Can someone post a like for where I can buy a cable for sending video/audio from my Shift 4G to the USB in of the G37?

Thank you.

[Droid X General] bmac51:
Ok so I'm planning on flashing a rom for the first time. I was just wondering if after running a full backup using Titatnium, if that saves all of the texts messages that I have right now? If it doesn't, is there a way to go about getting that done?
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
If you want to save your text messages, I recommend using mybackup pro (the free version will not let you restore data). If you can't pay for it, look up Applanet ;)
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
First off, Jmoney47, please do not recommend that another user on here use Applanet. Warez and the like are not supported by XDA. Apps such as applanet are the reason there are virus' and malware on Android devices. If you truly want a paid app, then pay for it off of the market and support the developer who made it. =)

As for the original question:

I believe Titanium will save all of your data (sms and what not). i just switched ROMs and used titanium (among other things). so i'm so used to the switching process, I really can't recall all I do.

I recommend searching for SMS backup which is a free app
[Droid X General] dmfa:
My Backup Root is free and backs up text. I couldn't figure out how to back up text using Titanium.
[Droid X General] dmfa:
Also, Titanium Backup only backs up apps. Don't try to back up system data with it because it differs from ROM to ROM and can have serious consequences if you restore it with an incompatible one.

If you want a full backup, one you can restore after flashing a new ROM if something goes wrong, you need to make a nandroid backup using Clockwork Recovery.
[Droid X General] bmac51:
Well I got everything I need to backup taken care of, but now I'm having a problem flashing the rom. I select the rom in rom manager, check to make a backup, and to wipe the data, hit ok, but then it just restarts my phone and nothing has happened. Any ideas?
[Droid X General] ashish8:
I don't use rom manager, instead I use koush's droid X bootstrap. Which might be a dependancy for rom manager.

On a side note. I'm baffled by the fact that someone would come in a developers forum and recommend pirated software. Sad.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] twofourturbo:
Well, the title kinda says it all. My wife and I both have Rooted Droid X's and a rooted Nook color which we constantly give back and forth cause we both love it. But my wifes main concern is she loves the Nook Sudoku Game and wants it on her phone and says none on the android market are not to her liking like the nook one. So I was able to rip the game from the nook and installed onto my Droid X and it installed fine, but ofcourse wont work cause its for a big screen so all I can see is the bottom left corner. Im just curious if anyone could help me out in hopes of keeping the nook away from my wife so I can be greedy and use it more. :) id wish I knew the slightest thing on how to develop apps but not a clue. If anyone could tell me if this is even possible I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS

I like Tasker to specifically activate GPS only when I use maps, and turn it off when i'm done with it. I'm on a big AOSP kick - and wanted to know if anyone figured out why Tasker isn't working on AOSP roms - or I guess at least MIUI.

Let me know

Your Gps already does that. I leave mine on all the time and the only time it comes on is when using maps, navigation, or other services that use location.
[EVO 4G General] jcarrillo7:
just a heads up but the gps doesn't use battery even if you have it enabled. it only uses battery when an app initializes it so in other words when you go into maps it turns on the gps and when you leave it turns it off. the setting in the settings menu only initializes the gps and allows apps to access it. you can leave it on with little to no battery use.

atleast thats how miui works.

p.s. I got this info from the miui developers on miui-dev.com its in one of the threads over there
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
What he said. Toggling gps is pointless and may even drain more juice as "turning on"may cause an initial tracking drain/update

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumvah:
I have an HTC Desire HD on three in the UK and want to flash it to get rid of the crud they stick on there. I have rooted the phone and have busybox installed.

I want to know if Android Revolution HD 4G 3.2 or AR HD 2.0.9 will go on without any problems, and which radio to install if necessary?

I have downloaded radio 12.41.60.19_26.06.04.1 and 12.35d.60.140f.26.06.03.24.m2 in preparation.

I have radio s-off and eng hboot s-off ready to go.

Thanks for any feedback guys.

PS:- Really need to do this as I had a stock DHD originally, but shattered screen and liquid crystal got onto PCB and fried it and replacement is full of 3some crap including the stupid startup animation taking phone from 10 seconds to boot to now nearly 2 minutes.

:-(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhardyman:
I have got rid of the three crud from mine.

First install clockworkmod recovery then do a nandroid backup.

You can wipe most of it using broot explorer. System>apps and delete relevant apks. I suggest moving them, rebooting, checking all good and then deleting.

The ****ty start-up thing can be removed by flashing the splash screen. (mine now is my name and email address - done via PhotoShop). There are instructions on how to do this in the themes section.

The other startup anim is a zip file. I can't remember where it lives but I seem to think it is not in the standard place. I found it by doing a search on root explorer. By moving this to a directory on the SD card you can disable this.

Only thing left really is things like home pages on browsers.

All that being said. I am running Android revolution gingerbread beta with it's recommended radio and it works fine. Battery and sound seem better.

Although Three seem to be quite good these days, the branding of phones is obtrusive, chavvy and ****e.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumvah:
Just getting permission denied errors when trying to delete the .apk files from root/system/app folder.

Will this problem go away when new Rom flashed in?

Also will doing s-off change the CID (carrier ID) ?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
If you used jkoljo's easy radio s-off tool, the cid should be changed now.

You said you have eng hboot, right? Boot into bootloader and go to system info. If yours is. 11111111 (don't remember how much 1's there are, lol) you have superCID
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumvah:
WooHoo!

I have sucessfully flashed AR 3.2 and newest recommended radio!

No more 3UK crud, its awesome quick and radio seems fine.

Will check wifi connectivity later but bluetooth seems a little quicker.

I will let my battery monitor calibrate for a couple of days and let you know whether battery life any better. If not will flash back original 26.03.02.26_M radio.

Just one more thing....

Changing boot animation on phone? Cant seem to find it anywhere on phone.

What format is the animation? width? height? fps? gif? mjpeg?

any suggestions, did a search of the forums but cant seems to find anything specific, so thought you might know as you had a phone that 3UK had previously wrecked

;) LOL

any help greatly appreciated

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhardyman:
The first screen you see is called the splash screen. This can be flashed via fastboot. See the themes section

If you mean the tilt up the tree. Dodgy animation, like a student art project that is a zip file, sequential pngs if I remember. I think a search for .zip via root explorer would work.

aaargh bloody three

Update:

Smashed my screen, sent back to three for repair. All I can say about the repair guy is...

DUMBASS!

So everything was fine other than screen when it went to three (checked via pc usb cable and sync software) ... not any more.

Despite my splash screen listing all details of the OS and radio ROMs, they flashed back the stock ROM but not the radio and screwed the recovery.

Now I have no Bluetooth, no WiFi, power led permanently lit green, intermittent crashes, no SDcard access (therefore no camera, no video, no music player), only boots 1 time in 5 from powerdown, plugging in charger reboots phone every so often, battery lasts about 9hours on standby with all internet connectivity off.

All I can say is...

DUMBASSES!

Why couldn't they leave custom ROM well alone?

Phone goes back to them on Monday to sort out. I know from seeing what they have done that they won't be able to work out what they have done, so pretty sure that they'll send replacement.

I'm doing it this way to prove a point to them (and get an unscratched phone LOL)

Will report back when phone comes back from the puppets at 3
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DP4:
I could be wrong here but I'm sure if you put custom roms, ENG and S -OFF etc it invalidates ya warranty, so if they wanted to they could tell ya they won't fix it.

Hi,

I got some 720p files (mkv and mp4) that (probably) would not work on Xoom and definitely do not work on ma LG dvd player with usb and divix support. Dvd plays avi and normal divix... no HD, no fancy stuff (I got it connected to an old 21" CRT TV - dont have LCD HD).

Question:

What software (free) should I use to convert them to a format that will work on both - Xoom (in future) and dvd player?
[Xoom General] ChongoDroid:
Hand brake is pretty good... rock player is a good player for mkv
[Xoom General] galtom:
it has to be plain avi file in order to play on dvd. Will avi play on xoom?
[Xoom General] DebianDog:
WHAT? A DVD is MPEG only http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd_video#Container

Also know an AVI is a container not a format. It is about the oldest thing out there videowise introduced 1992 by Microsoft.

Now you may have a DVD player that plays files and supports the DV-AVI container for playback. Never seen one though. Anyway...

If you buy a newer BlueRay player, like one from Samsung, it will support DVDs, MPEG2, H.264, VC-1, AVCHD, DIVX HD, MKV, MP4, WMV9, 3GPP, HD JPEG so you won't have to worry about converting anything more than once.
[Xoom General] fishtaco254:
Can anyone answer this question for me. I have a bunch of bluray rips in .iso format. How can I convert them to load on the xoom?
[Xoom General] OneStepAhead:
actually a ton of dvd players play avi divx/xvid, it's almost hard to find one these days that doesnt.
[Xoom General] OneStepAhead:
you ripped them to iso? that's kind of strange, never heard of someone doing that before.
[Xoom General] DebianDog:
An ISO is actually a mountable image I do not think the Xoom can mount one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso_image

Yes I know just an example. The problem with AVI is people stick so many different things in there or put an AVI extension on a file that is not really an AVI. Many times these days it is actually DivX which is just MPEG-4 Part 2 or 10 anyway. After my last post I started plowing though all the old AVI files on my computer and about the ONLY player that would play 100% of them was VLC.

I also downloaded the Rockplayer ARM7 edition since there is not a 9 out and loaded it on my Zoom. It seems to FC if you hold the Xoom in portrait mode but works fine in landscape. Plays most formats but seems to not run any of my old AVI files.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@OP

Mount the ISOs onto a virtual drive (eg http://www.dvdfab.com/virtual_drive.htm ). Then run Handbrake or whichever app you're using. As long as they can process Bluray's M2TS format, you're peach. May be.

@DebianDog

When people say "AVI", especially ones they didn't make, it's generally a warez version which means XviD/DivX, and MP3 or AC3. Pretty common stuff. @OP: You need a 3rd-party player to play AVI, like the mentioned Rockplayer.
[Xoom General] galtom:
Right... :-)

My player is LG DVX 392H.

I got no idea about specifics of the file but in windows it says .avi and it plays :-)

If you need more information to help me, please let me know how can I get them out of the files in question (I do not have any experience with video files as Windows simply plays the lot so one does not need to worry - klite and all sorted).

Since I plan to get Xoom and I have come to terms with necessity of converting I would prefer the option to have it play on both devices...

Thanks guys!

Ps. Got handbrake but it says only about Apple devices and after few tries id did not work on dvd player (from usb stick) either no file was shown or it said can not play HD content (there was only audio).
[Xoom General] fishtaco254:
I didn't convert them to iso. I uh just received them in iso format if you catch my drift...
[Xoom General] e.mote:
@galtom

You don't have to do any conversion for (most) AVIs. Just get a 3rd-party media player. Some AVIs may have AC3 audio tracks which aren't natively supported, but software players like Rockplayer can handle those.

To get video specs, use MediaInfo http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net

@fishtaco254

Most HD ISOs nowaday are either in AVCHD format (likely) or Bluray (M2TS). Either way, you'll need to mount them and convert, or wait until XBMC for Android comes out.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Your DVD player only plays AVI, i.e. DivX+MP3. HandBrake no longer converts to DivX nor AVI, because they're obsolete.

Try using Miro to convert to AVI. You need to resize 720p to standard-def, else the DVD player will choke. If Miro doesn't do this, try another software.

Go here, http://videohelp.com/tools/sections/video-encoders

An alternative is to get a media player that can play MKV.
[Xoom General] galaxybror:
i think maybe the moboplayer can help you, it supports almost any video formats, and the effect is pretty good.

and rip your DVD or blu-ray? i have used the handbrake, it's great. my friend said she has used a ripper called brorsoft, it has free trial version, also pretty good.

you can have a try
[Xoom General] Scoop24:
Just download dice player and you can play .mkv files without having to convert them.
[Xoom General] anniemayday:
:DYou can convert them to the videos of avi or mp4 format which is compatible with the Xoom and can be played on most of suitable players.

As for the converter, I recommend you the brorsoft video converter which I'm using now. I'm quite satisfied with the convenient performance, the great interface as well as the quality of the converted videos. I think you can try to convert your iso foles to avi or mp4 format via this converter.

If you have many blu-rays, you can choose the blu-ray ripper which can rip and convert your blu-rays to HD avi or mp4 format. It can save a lot of time.

One thing I must to say is the amazing speed. With the CUDA tech, it si almost 5X faster than those I have used before.

As for the player, I think the mobo player and the rockplayer are the best. I can play all my moives of avi and mp4 format on the two players with full screen. You can try them.
[Xoom General] rohit3192:
Video formats and convertors

Android plays.mkv files fine.

Mkv is a container ,chose H264 as video codec and AC3 as audio codec.

Some of the best convertors are:

Formatfactory

Super(erightsoft)

Handbrake

all 3 produce excellent files.And all are free.

Handbrake is not obsolete(it was a deliberate decision to drop .avi) as it is now focused for Apple devices.:D

[Xoom General] KidJoe:
I have LG BD390(bed room) and BD570(living room) bluray players connected to HD TVs, and a Verizon 3G Xoom.

I generally RIP my Bluray discs to MKV's using BD-Rebuilder's "movie only, alternate output" and specifying an 8gig output file. While these look great on the TV's, the XOOM can't play them back properly (and lets face it, at 8ig per movie, I wont fit too many on the Xoom)

So, I've used DVDCatalyst to convert DVD's and the home made (as well as downloaded) MKV's into files that I can play on the XOOM using MOBOPlayer. The video files end up in the 2 to 3gig range.

Those same files made with DVDCatalyst will also play back on the LG's across the network, but on my HD TV, don't look as sharp and clear due to the reduced settings which make the file sizes so much smaller.

I haven't tried DVDCatalyst to go from Bluray source to Xoom formatted file yet, as its release notes list "limited support" for this.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
I realize some number of bad blocks is to be expected with nand memory, but am curious to the amount other folks have on the /system partition?

First, make sure you have a current backup image.

To find out,

Reboot to recovery

Wipe menu, wipe system

Either adb pull the recovery log, or just move to the sd for later viewing.

View log in text editor or email it to yourself.

Now, on my device (see sig for details), i have 12 bad blocks on the data partition, 2 on the cache, and 177!!! on the system. Even though the phone still has over 100 MB left on /system (out of 360MB), this seems like alot of bad blocks. I'm still trying to figure out what the actual capacity of each block is, but suspect each block = 1KB.. If that is the case, then it's no so bad... 177KB out of 360MB is nothing.
