Hello,

Is there a way to provide +5v to the microUSB port by the phone itself ??

so I power up the connected devices with Atrix's battery

[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
Forgive me, but if I'm reading correctly it is this simple:

1-Buy a USB Host to USB-micro cable.

2. Plug the host cable into a powered hub -OR- splice in any other 5VDC source to the 5VDC power lines.

3-Plug a FATxx formatted USB card into the host cable or the hub.

And (?) if the phone is in USB mode it will be able to read the external USB device. Flash memory or hard drive.

The key issues being to get a host cable, and to put 5V into that host cable. No special resistor signalling between any of the USB lines needed, correct?

[Atrix 4G General] orfeas:
Let me try again.

What pins should I short-circuit in my Atrix's microUSB port so I can have +5v there ??

I need to powerUp *any* device connected there
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Mini_and_Micro_connectors

see "Physical Appearance", pin 1 is always V+. I have no idea if the phone will supply power unless it is placed in host mode, and even then, what the llimits are.
[Atrix 4G General] bimasakti85:
Anyone seen the new xperia s? That device can read usb drive without any usb hub, just directly connect the usb otg cable to the usb drive. If xperia can do it, I think our device could do it too.

[Atrix 4G General] Zeljko1234:
Yes it can, with multimedia dock, lapdock or powered USB hub (tested). Just directly can't because, AFAIK, Atrix doesn't provide power supply for UBS device. Maybe could be done some hardware modification.
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
The Atrix battery has an 1800? mA capacity, the USB spec calls for a USB host to supply 500mA to devices. If you modified a Atrix to be a stand-alone USB host, you could run the battery flat in no time. It certainly could be done--but there's a good reason to use external power.
[Atrix 4G General] vagelisda:
If Nokia devices can,Sony devices can,than I don't think the battery drain would be noticeable...

[Atrix 4G General] orfeas:
So, anyone knows what pins should be shorted? Or any short-ready cable? Perhaps a Battery-powered USB hub. Or some other solution for reading usb drives out inda fields?

Hello,

I finally managed to see my USB flash contents.

All I used is a USB Y-splitter that gives power to both ends and a USB OtG cable.

Now... I am a photographer...

why cannot it read card reader files???
[Atrix 4G General] maajstor:
It does auto-mount!

I was just playing with hub+power+OTG combo to get Atrix to read external SD card via USB card reader. Mouse and keyboard work without issues. But I couldn't get it to read external memory.

After trying to mount it manually and failing many times, it turned out my card reader was faulty. It was cheap no-name reader. Used to work on a computer.

Then I took a Sandisk branded reader. And to my surprise, there was nothing else to do, Atrix auto-mounts external SD card. In my example it was under /mnt/usbdisk_1.2.

And to my even bigger surprise, Atrix could play off that very same SD card 1080i mp4 video recorded on Sony EX3 smoothly without stuttering.

So, what's your problem? Can't tell. Just make sure to check every usbdisk_* under /mnt.

BTW, I'm on modded CM7 ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] orfeas:
Well, I use Epsilon_Project_v5_Final with ES file Explorer

I really have no problem reading SDcard via an USB-SDcard adapter (a reader that only reads one card) but when using a multi-reader it just recognizes one card, usually the SD. If I plug-out all other cards and leave a CF inside, then I do a reboot, then I disconnect and re-connect USBotG, I *might* see the CF card's contents.

Is there a quick way to unmount-mount all USB devices so I avoid rebooting ??

What player did you use? Played back straight from USB ? I get cracks when playing back 1080/30i from my Nikon D800 in MX player or Vplayer
[Atrix 4G General] Isaygarcia:
Who is your provider in china? Ive had some bad experiences buying outside
[Atrix 4G General] johnannis:
In my opinio you should buy an otg cable from ebay, in cables the quality is ok from china (in contrast with other items).

I bought one the last days for only 0.99 $ but it wasnt like the pic's and it covers my micro-hdmi as well and i am not able to plug the hdmi along with it, but seller gave me a refund so dont worry about that
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
So i have been able to clock my captivate to a stable 1300 using suckerpunch #57. I'm wondering though how often do you think are phones actually use this frequency? i know when i'm running a psx emulator im sure that it probably has the cpu maxed out, which runs tekken 3 beautifully now at no lower then 48 fps, but i hope on not much else (would be nice to find an app that would put the cpu used clock speed on taskbar). Only reason i wonder is because of course phones don't have cooling systems like computers so i worry about cpu life.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
i have never seen the cpu get hot in my phone. it gets unstable before any heat is detected, but my phone is not very overclockable, i can get 1.3 with much care to the uv settings. i wouldnt worry about heat until the 1.4 mark, even then you are probably fine. the newer qualcom chips have been set to run at 1.9ghz and dont burn up they are on the same size architecture as ours. these arm chips run at such low voltages that heat is not really a big problem. i dont think anyone on the board has killed a hummingbird from overclocking it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
I think your speaking pre-emptively about not burning up.

Just because the chip doesn't instantly melt doesn't mean your not risking electro migration.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
this chip has a built in fail safe and can run as long as it can handle it automatically freezes or reboot your phone above its capable limit. If you want real time monitoring of your cpu clock speed/usage, ram usage and battery temp download Temp+CPU V2 widget from the market pretty good app. enjoy
[Android Apps and Games] malrok37:
I would like to share with you my very first Android application.

It was designed to allow fine screen timeout tweaking, ie it will make it possible to define a screen timeout value for each application installed on your device.

With it you will be able to set a small timeout for your device (i.e. 15 seconds), and have your browser, games, GPS app or whatever configured to have screen stay on longer!

Hope you find it usefull :D

I have optimus p500 LG ...on play store i see this app is not compatible and doesnt allow to install on mobile...an specifi reason ....

[Android Apps and Games] malrok37:
Hi,

The reason probably is that the application does not support your screen resolution.

I will try to fix this for you.

Thanks for your feedback
[Android Apps and Games] malrok37:
I just updated the play store version.

My second guess was that the application was looking for an Android version higher than your phone's

Please tell me if this works with the new one (version 8, probably available in a few minutes)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reefdvrjim:
Hello,

Thanks for this forum I have been using it for a long time. Recently I purchased a ZT-180 4GB/512MB Android 2.2. It was having issues and they released a brand new zImage on the 8th. I am assuming this will fix a lot of problems I'm having with my tablet. I have no idea how to get it on my table though. Someone please help. I have looked on the forum but cannot find anything that matches all the files in the zip. I want to make sure I do it right...

zImage

zImage_adb

zImage_factory

zImage_ums

zImage_update

Also, here is the link to the image file... dl.dbank.com/c0h005u7qk. There is also a file called 10inch_4GB+512MB_android_2.2.rar and I don't know what to do with that either.. Please help.

Sincerely,

welcome to the forum and if you decide to keep this amazing phone , make sure you get full advantage of it by flashin a custom rom !!! ( I would start by DRAGON IF I were you ) :P

This is a great phone and there are a lot of developers behind it so if I were you I would stick with it.

If you don't choose DRAGON like DAGr8 suggested some of my favorite roms are:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985053

Would it be possible to take the them from this and put it on Serendipity?

If so could someone give me the easiest way of doing this?

Edit: I know how to move over images and stuff. but i'm not quite sure how to edit xmls and any other stuff like .jar files.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
i can probably port most of it over for ya. what serendipity are you running?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
I'm running 6.2 right now. I'm pretty sure if you told me what you did I could probably figure out how to do it, and maintain it from version to version.

I would have used the theme porter but the theme i want is actually the leaked Gingerbread ROM from Samsung. So everything would have to be done manually.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
so do you just want it took look like that theme? Because you could just use 7zip to transfer all the png's to the framework and twframework
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
That I know how to do but there are other things like the status bar and dropdown that are controlled by XML and .jar, and my knowledge doesn't go that far.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
the status bar and dropdown are in both the tw and framework.res files bud. You're just talking about the icons and bottom bar and all that right???
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
is this something that you are trying to change? because all of that is in tw and framework.res
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
when i tried this is what i got.

Not even close to what it's supposed to be.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
i see. totally different. Give me a little bit and I'll see if i can just get it how you want it and then I'll send you the files
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
That would be great. If you come across something that is a little more in depth, make note of it so I can learn how to do it myself.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
ya no problem man. I'm not running serendipity myself because i'm stuck on phoenix. but i'm going to just change a few things a little at a time to ensure no bootloops for ya and send them to you. just fill me in on how there working out when you get them.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
I've got a revert to stock CWM zip ready to go.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
hopefully this willl be what you were looking for. It's hard to know unless i'm actually running the rom. not in the mood for flashing today for once otherwise i would. try these out and let me know if they're what you want. use root explorer and drop the in system/framework

Not sure if i changed the notification text color. oh yeah! i didn't change the battery icons yet because the one from serendipity it totally different form the bezke theme but i'm working on it as i type this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
The dropdown still looks the same from when I tried.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
alright. i'm working it on it now. is everything else how you want it though?

minus the apps. you can just drag and drop those yourself.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
Yep as far as I can tell.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
alright bro. I think I've figured out why the words aren't in there. extremekilla filled me in. mikeymike took the text from the pulldown icons out of the twframework. the text is located in the resources.arsc file. I'm working on getting them put back in for ya. should only take a little bit.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
See thats what kinda stuff I was talking about not being able to do. I know that you have to decompile the APK to get to the XMLs in resourses.arsc and then recompile it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
exactly. but im thinking if one of his previous roms had the text that maybe it could be as easy as just switching the two. im confirming that right now with someone who knows all about this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
Well his ROM has had it that way for a while now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
yeah. the resources file is made new everytime the framework is changed so we cant just switch files. i sent them out and hopefully they will get fixed for you today. i'll post them when its done. sorry i couldnt help too much.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] caleb4992:
Will I be able to do some of this stuff myself when Mikey releases an update to the ROM?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
You definitely will man. You can always start now. Just ask around. The people here on XDA are usually more than willing to help out whenever possible. You should go to the Serendipity forum and post up there. I'm sure someone will jump on this stuff in a second.

Hello XDA-ers,

I was curious if anyone was able to overclock Khal's or the Wanted ROM.

I tried using Milestone Overclock which worked on Dexter's, but it says "Failed to load module."

I tried using the search function but the kernels i came across only mentioned dexter's rom, but it doesn't mention Khal's or the Wanted rom.

If anyone got Milestone Overclck to work on those two roms; what did you guys do?

Thank you,

[Milestone XT720 General] c19932:
for khalpower's rom, you need to use milestone overclock 1.4.4 instead of 1.4.7. another option is to apply this patch made by mioze --> http://db.tt/OiiPKb3

I have a rooted phone running the GingerVillain ROM. It has some programs I don't want like Mail, Gmail and News And Weather.

I followed the steps to remove the programs with Root Explorer. I.E. Going into System/Apps and mounting R/W. long press on the APK and delete. Boom, program gone..... nope! I went into my menu and it is still there. Even worse, it is still works!

I rebooted the phone and the APK files were there again!

Anybody seen this kind of strange activity before?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
If you are still S-ON, it won't work. You need to be S-OFF to delete files from the system partition while the phone is up & running.
[Desire General] chasabi:
I've heard of that. How would I know if I'm S-OFF? If I'm not then how can i set my phone to S-OFF?

Strangely it appears that the file deletes. It only reappears after reboot. I would have thought it wouldn't have deleted at all if it wasn't working correctly.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
How to know that? Well, it was just discussed, you're not S-OFF, because you can't delete files from the system partition (it disappears, but it's still there).

And also if you did not do the S-OFF procedure, it won't be S-OFF'd.

Here's the guide how to do it: S-OFF Tutorial
[Desire General] Rageypeep:
Another way to find out S-ON/OFF is to look into your H-BOOT by turning off your phone, hold down the volume down and switching on. The first line will tell you what it is set to.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Unless you've done the s-off procedure you won't be s-off
[Desire General] status_six:
I found the s-off procedure using alpharev bootable CD as quick and easy as rooting (once I was running a custom rom).

Now I have zapped unwanted apps directly whilst running and also flashed hboot giving me more free memory and a very responsive phone.

Recommended!

[Desire General] GrenW:
And if you don't want to go s-off just delete the files in the Rom zip file before you flash it.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpotteiger427:
I am attempting to return a phone to stock. Currently it has froyo on it which my brother installed (he's not here so I can't really have him undo it). This version of froyo is screwed up and I can't activate the phone with it on. I'm afraid of words like wipe the phone. Holding down the volume button and the send button doesn't do anything. It just reboots with froyo on it and I am then in the same situation as before. So it must be a firmware issue. My question is what do I need to do to set the phone back to stock. I found a forum on here that described how to do it kind of but it wasn't nearly simple enough for me and assumed you knew what things were, namely Amon_RA 1.6.2 and an SDK. Despite describing itself as a noob forum So if someone could take me through this assuming you were telling someone who has never done anything like this before that would be great. I am so frustrated by all this. I don't need a million apps but having a phone that I can text, call people, and use the internet on would be great. At that point I'm satisfied to leave it alone.
