Develop Bugs

[Q] Using volume button as camera shutter?

I was wondering if there is a way to use either volume button as a shutter while in the camera app. I've been looking around in the forums but I've only seen threads about using those buttons as power buttons.
Thanks

Retro camera in the market can do it.

this was fixed with style before the evo came out
Dude fx camera zoom is a beast I have been using it it let's you remap any keys or even take it via audio command but in full quality 8mp plus it wouldn't be " fx camera" without some sick fx... UI is great got the volume keys on mine doing zoom with voice activated timer so I could still take the pics really just a whole lot of options bought it 2 years ago on the g1 and a hidden gem of an app

This is already available via the Camera Zoom FX app on the market. Not free, but is there. However I have found that it is buggy as hell.
Bugs I have noticed:
1. Pictures won't save. It's like they are stored in the cache. You take a picture, go to gallery to view it and it won't be there. If you reboot the phone it will be.
2. The "FX" don't always work. There are several effects that come stock with the app. They frequently don't do what they are supposed to or won't load at all. I have found that you can exit the program via the back buttons and then start it again to get the FX to load, but even that has stopped working.
3. It actually asks you to download Task Killer the first time you open the app. Going on about camera apps using memory and all. So in other words it has a memory leak and instead of fixing it they want you to manually kill the task.
It does what some in this thread are asking for. However I wouldn't suggest you buy it.
And can I get a mod to verify my account so I can post faster than every 5 minutes... getting this message:
To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.

Wish granted!
I was bored this morning. So i decided to make one... for free! (Also no ads!)
It's called: "Simple Cam" made by Insanity Systems on the android market. (unfortunately i can't post the link because i'm a new user it seems... if anybody's kind enough to do so in a reply i would appreciate it!)
it's 15k in size (and i think most of that is the PNG icon to be fair).
Super simple to use: Volume up to take a snap; Volume down to set the flash.
Saves pictures to sd card in folder "cameraPictures".
ENJOY!
P.S. Have a go at the other apps as well maybe you'll find something you like.

Ice Glacier Rom Guide- (Tips known issues and info)

Hi everybody, I have been closely following the ICED GLACIER ROM development thread since it was started. I know there is a consistently growing number of people who have just purchased their myTouch 4G phone (android noobs and vets). The ICED GLACIER ROM thread is getting really large, and I am sure the thought of reading through 1,600+ posts can potentially be a little overwhelming and very time consuming. I know everyone is really excited to try that AWESOME ROM, but I also see in the thread that everyone wants to know what works, what doesn't, how to fix this, etc... I'm hoping that people with questions about this ROM can look here for an answer before asking questions in the other thread that have already been answered along the way (sometimes many times). I hope this will help the devs too- if we can provide info and answer questions about everything that has already been answered in the other thread then we can get rid of repeat posts of questions and problems that are cluttering up the other thread- meaning it'll hopefully be really easy to narrow down current hiccups or problems people are experiencing. If anyone can contribute to this thread, it would be greatly appreciated!
*Flashing- When I first flashed this ROM, Iced Glacier was at 1.0, first I flashed V0.5, then V1.0. With V1.1, you no longer need to flash V0.5 or any other version first- you can go from stock rooted to V1.1 (make sure to make a nandroid backup first!!!). If you are not sure how to flash this ROM, or how to root your phone- you WILL find answers by reading through some of the other threads in this section. *It looks like a few people have had problems when/ after flashing this ROM due to not completely wiping the phone in different versions of this ROM- you might want to do a complete wipe just to be thorough (I'm no expert, it's just a suggestion to hopefully save you any headaches down the road)
*Overclocking- Make sure to install/ purchase SetCPU, so you can tweak the processor speeds. If you are not sure what SetCPU is, or how to use it- do some studying first. It has been noted that each of our phones responds differently with the different speed settings- I have noticed, that when I have my phone set too high it freezes (particularly while I'm surfing using Dolphin HD), and I have also noticed that I get better performance (and Quadrant results) when my max speed is set at 1440 mhz as opposed to 1382 or 1497mhz. Again, every phone will respond different. Play with the different speeds and see what works best for your phone- everyone can make recommendations (i.e. lower clock speeds with the screen off, battery low, or temp too high), but in the end you have to find what works best for you. I would recommend that you use the 'on demand' option instead of 'performance' to avoid having your phone constantly working at the highest set clock speed though, and don't forget to set different profiles (i.e. screen off, temp too high, battery low...). Remeber, this will affect your battery life, along with a million other variables related to your phone, so make note of before and after results to find a good balance between speed/performance and battery longevity to your liking.
*Apps and Data before flashing the ROM- install 'Titanium Backup' (I recommend purchase as well to support the creator) and batch 'backup all of your apps and data' (run the batch 'verify backup' afterwords to make sure you have a good backup to restore after installing this ROM). I had problems with my backups, so after I flashed V1.0 every time I tried to batch 'restore all apps and data' my phone would reboot, in the end I went through my backup and individually restored data (and app if it was missing) for all of my apps- time consuming, I know, but it was worth it to have this ROM (note: I was using the free version of TB- I now have purchased the app, but haven't had to use it yet for a full batch 'restore').
*Once you have installed the ROM- open 'rom manager' and execute 'fix permissions'. Do this first, as it will likely fix force closes or the 'instant close upon starting the app' that sometimes happens, before you experience them. After running 'fix permissions'- power down, pull your battery for a couple minutes, and then restart your phone (I suggest this, because I had an 'instant close' problem with wi-fi calling and power down + pull battery fixed it for me). You will also want to check to make sure your wi-fi is functional-if not Gr8gorilla has a fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9328350&postcount=1
*Test a flash website on your browser- if it does not work, you likely have to install flash from the market. If it does work- you should be good.
*Bluetooth- If you use bluetooth for calls, it should work fine (I use bluetooth for making calls and have had no problems with V1.0 or V1.11). However, if you use bluetooth for stereo music (A2DP) I understand that it does work with V1.0, but not on V1.11. I have noticed that when I have bluetooth turned on and try to dial a number on the stock dialer- it is very very sluggish to dial the numbers (ex. I press a 5 on the dial pad and wait about 2-3 seconds for the number to light up, sound the DTMF tone, and provide the haptic feedback). I have since switched over to using the 'atakephone' app and have had 0 problems. ***The devs are aware of the bluetooth issue, and plan to include a fix in the next update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9684992&postcount=1577 *EDIT*- bluetooth fixed in ROM V1.1.2
*Genius/ Handsfree- there have been issues with this not functioning properly or not at all. Again, this will be fixed in the next update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9684317&postcount=1573 *EDIT* Fixed in the V1.1.2 update!
*YouTube app- I would say it's not usable- it starts 'turbo scrolling' when I use it- it will sometimes stop if you hold your finger on the screen, but revert back when you take your finger off. This ROM is based off of the original MT4G kernel and I think I read somewhere that the version of this youtube app associated with the original kernel had this bug. Goolge released a new version of the youtube app yesterday (12-8-10)- since I installed that update, I no longer have problems in the app. *EDIT* See *RECAP- KNOWN ISSUES below.
*MMS- looks like some are having problems sending and recieving MMS messages- it might be a problem with the phone rather than this ROM (I am getting a replacement because my phone has that problem). Depending on who you talk to at Tmo customer service, they will confirm it as a known issue with the 4G. Make sure to do atleast a handful of tests sending and recieving with your phone before and after flashing. *EDIT*- some people (myself included) noticed that when using the stock messages app, contacts pictures don't display- looks like there are 2 fixes, 1 being a FULL wipe and fresh install of the ROM or 2- clearing cerain contacts cache settings as Notxel21 posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9706457&postcount=1653
*Bloatware- this ROM has the original bloatware apps removed. The Monopoly demo, demo video, Rock Band Demo, etc. are gone (as well as some other stuff that I forgot to mention- which is proof that it wasn't needed in the ROM anyway ).*** A 'spare parts' app was added for tweaking window animations and viewing battery stats. A 'dsp settings' app was also added to allow equalizer settings for the phones earpiece, external speaker, and the 3.5mm headphone port (really sweet btw!). I had to reinstall 'superuser', 'rom manager', and titanium backup from the market after flashing. The market still works for me after flash without any glitches fwiw.
***Updates- they will come when they come, theres no need to ask about it every day or so. The easiest way to check for yourself is to open the Iced Glacier ROM thread and look at the changelog in post #2- the devs have been faithful to update that post whenever they release a new version. (You can also look through the first post, but the second is cleaner as they put the newest changelog right at the top of the post) *EDIT*- Version 1.1.2 released
*RECAP- KNOWN ISSUES-- Youtube- no worky until you update in the market *EDIT* some are having problems with the youtube app in the 1.1.2 version- looks like it works fine until you use the app in landscape and try to return to portrait- the display returns to portrait, but stays stretched out for widescreen.
*Themed vs. Unthemed- I tried themed first in V1.0- I switched to unthemed and currently use V1.11 unthemed. I only used the V1.0 themed version for about 15 minutes, so I can't really provide any info on it aside from intense screen transition effects and alot of blue/black icons. V1.0 unthemed appears just like stock (if you don't like the HTC sense, you can use launcher pro, ADW or a list of other homescreen replacements). V1.11 Unthemed looks just like stock, but the drop down notification bar is transparent, and the icons at the top are colored with a circle battery meter that shows the battery % in the middle (very cool). There are other notification icon options available in the themes and apps section of this MT4G forum if you want to try something different, but I think you will lose the transparent drop down if you flash a different bar.
*There are also some other issues that seem to be random- someone is having problems with wifi not working at all, someone having problems with the 'media room' app, etc... to my knowledge there is currently no resolve for these problems.
Hope this helps! If anyone has anything to contribute, please let me know, and I will try to update this OP, so all the help stays in one common place.

No Bugs in Mine
I have noticed none of the above mentioned bugs you claim. Youtube works fine, and so does Genius button. According to information I have gotten from others on IRC, the only bug is BT stereo, which I do not care about to be honest. I recommend the non-themed version.

Your fortunate. Not everyone has experienced all of these bugs, I'm just posting what I have read about in the IG ROM thread as well as what I have experienced. As far as the non-themed version, it's my fav. Just got my replacement phone and looking forward to flashing IG 1.1.2, but first I'm gonna play catchup in that thread to see if I need to update this one yet.

Duplicate Ringtones and Notifications
I am not sure what happened but all of a sudden I see two of each ringtone and notification. They seem to work properly but not sure why they are showing up twice. I added a few new ones to /system/media/audio by hand. Wondering if this has been tested by anyone else. I do not have any in /sdcard since I thought that could be problematic.
=====================
Update: I fixed this issue by creating directories on /sdcard/media/audio as follows but empty folders:
/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Also according to Zinx: Any folders on the /sdcard named notifications or ringtones will be found regardless of subdirectories...thus I think that may have been the entire issue I was seeing.

Everything looks about right

I'm glad you were able to fix it! I had that same problem shortly after I got my phone, but it was with alot of my pictures as well. I ended up searching my sdcard from my computer for *.mp3 and *.jp to find all of the duplicates.

Was that through Clockwork- when you choose the reboot option after flashing? When you power down, do you have to pull your batt before you can restart your phone again? I know that the first time I flash a zip through clockwork, when I select reboot- there is a longer delay than if I were to execute that command without flashing any .zips.

Nice thread, should really help. I really wish someone had a list of the bloatware that was removed from it though, I used more of it than I didn't. There might be something removed that I might need someday.

[Q] What you like seen in the next major update to ICS?

There is no denying that ICS is a major step forward for android phones (and it is awesome!) but what feature etc. do you feel should be included in the next major update?
One thing I would like is a quick access button to toggle the auto-rotate screen on and off! I use my phone a lot in bed and it`s imposable to use the phone with auto-rotate on (as with many smartphones I have tried).

Another is the ability to stop, pause, fast forward music from the lock screen.

You are right, after a restart is now there on the top... interesting!

download a widget app like Widgetsoid. You can make yourself an auto-rotate on/off widget

USB host OTG (promised but not delivered).
Syncing of the default browser with Chromium or Chrome.

I'd like to see some Siri competition.

Onboard external storage with ssd speeds. Even tighter and consistent integration with hardware and software. Methinks there is still going to be a clusterfuck of hardware and software still to come. Oem overlays should be optional and/or pick and choose what you like from their launcher. Still boggles my mind people buy a samsung or motorola phone and want sense on their rom. No sense if you ask me.

Syncing already works for bookmarks with chrome.
PS: Didn't mean to thank you - wrong button, but oh well!

I want the stock Gallery App to be as smooth and as quick just like the rest of the OS. How come when you flick through photos and do pinch to zoom it's still sluggish just like on Android 2.2? Can't it be fast like the Browser?

Cannot think of much anything major yet, but here some minor ones:
The Google search bar is really unnecessary.
A disable option for the shutter sound would be nice but I guess they don't have it for legal reasons.
Maybe a pre-loaded plain black wall paper.

I would like to see integration with google talk throughout the device. I woild love for it to be like bbm/imessanger. I use it a lot and feel like it has great potential.

Will never happen.
BBM and iMessage work because the only devices that can communicate via those methods are the mobile phones themselves.
Google Talk works with computers too. Meaning that there is a large margin for disjointed conversations where part of the conversation is completely lost and unable to be referenced without getting the other person to repeat themselves.

It better be silent on vibrate! Would be great if on vibrate the flash didn't go off either lol
Id like to see the ability to copy and paste pics, rather than having to save them and then send them

I'd be surprised if they took that out - where when the phone is in silent/vibrate there is no shutter sound. That's how it's always been on my OG Droid, especially back when it was stock.

Or simply have it do exactly what it does now, and sync conversations across devices? All that needs to be done is have Android device detection, like iMessaging, so that sms conversations automatically switch to Talk (or a rebranded version of Talk).

Regarding shutter sound: Can't we just rename/delete the soundfile, so it cannot be played? What's the filename and where do I find it?

I don't quite understand. Why is it that when you bring computers into this equation, part of the conversation is liable to being lost?

There is an app called Smart Rotator which I use to only allow certain apps (ie Gallery) to autorotate. Very handy.

i wonder how ICS's keyboard is like.. Particularly, the horizontal keyboard. For some reason, in many of the text fields when using (practically) any type of keyboard, default, swiftkey, (and i don't remember the names of the other ones that i've tried in the past), the horizontal keyboard does not show the background at all. It makes a big text field of the field that you are typing and the touch keyboard takes up the rest with the "next" or "done" at the top right.
It's extremely un-user friendly. I want the apple style keyboard where regardless which orientation you are in, you can still see half of the keyboard, AND add a row to show all of the corrections/suggestions.
Hope that's in ICS, if not, please make it happen in the next update!

[ROM] MIUI 2.8.10 v4 (ICS)

MIUI for the Epic Touch 4G​
This weeks version 2.8.10 (Finally happened!)
Disclaimer: You flash at your own risk of damage to your phone. More of the current kernels have the damaging emmc bug removed and I have safely flashed with ICS kernel but there is always a bit of risk involved. You have been warned.
Steps that I use to flash this ROM:​1. Odin or Mobile Odin [my preference] back to EL26 Stock Kernel
2.(a) If you are flashing from another ROM that is not ICS MIUI use Calkulin's format all (found at bottom of his post). ELSE:
(b) You are flashing over a previous ICS of MIUI (such as 2.7.6) DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING
3. Flash this week version of MIUI (MIUI 2.8.10)
4. Reboot your device and enjoy all that MIUI is!
Crap, that didn't work!! Don't worry MasterZen88 has this guide:
Code:
I can confirm this too... Also If anyone is looking to flash this rom please follow these steps. I have repeated the process at least 10 times:
1. Odin [URL="http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/default.asp?action=FileDownload&startFolder=%5CRecovery+Kernels%5CGB%5CChris41g%5CStock+CWM%5CTAR&filename=EL26%5FStockCWM%2Etar%2Emd5"]EL26 repacked CWM 5[/URL]
2. Wipe using [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928432&d=1330705940"]Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL[/URL].
3. Flash [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611797"]MIUI 2.6.15[/URL]
4. After flashing let it reboot into MIUI 2.6.15 ** THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT**
5. Then Odin [URL="http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/?action=FileDownload&startFolder=%5CRecovery+Kernels%5CICS+CM9%5CChris41g+AOSP+CWM5+Recovery%5CTAR&filename=CWM5%2DSafe%2DAOSP%2Etar%2Emd5"]Chris41G AOSP CWM5[/URL]
6. And Finally flash MIUI 2.8.10 v4
Edit by me. This is the way I flashed 2.8.10 see post two.
Changelog​Found on the MIUI website
I wish to thank for the help, it was needed greatly​T.C.P, Anon9mouz, and jafterdark
And to Tyzing and jeffm922 for risking their devices while I was teaching myself to port this over.
MasterZen88 has been a big help
And, especially Lens_flare for this outstanding guide It has helped getting this weeks port done.
Now for the disclaimer:
I have no 4G here in Phoenix. I see that 4g turns on for me but alas with no towers in the valley of the sun, no wimax. Thus if 4g is a must you are gonna want to move along. Sorry. I've read posts of it being broken and wish it wasn't but that I can't fix There are many people I see that have Wimax, so it looks hit or miss. But, it does appear to work.
My Themes Don't Work, then do this:​​Included with this version of MIUI is ES File Explorer. You need this to get themes working correctly. SO:
1. Give yourself root permissions by using the app Permissions found in the folder Tools
2. Open ES File Explorer and give it root privileges in settings
3. Go to root then to /data/system
4. Create a folder titled "theme" thus you should have /data/system/theme
Themes will now work. This is a headache, and when I was looking at updater-script I see that it calls /tmp/busybox (not there) to create the folder "theme" but when I got to correct this and call up /system/xbin/busybox it rejects it like an organ transplant gone wrong. So, if anyone more skilled than I (which is many) feel inclined to fix that please do and shoot me a pm!! thanks.
2nd post is for additional files that are optional.
Please read this:​Kernel included is 41g_RC2_5-0718 it is important to know several things. 1. This kernel so far is the only one that allows use of Governors and Schedulers while 2. allows for videos to work but 3. it has no recovery. To solve this load a current kernel from Chris41g's thread (see post two) and flash what you need to in recovery and boot back to MIUI then Odin 41g_RC2_5-0718 and you're good to go. If you don't mess with recovery except to flash a newer build then you're even better off

Update on included kernel
Optional files:
I only recommend Chris41g's kernel and recovery found here. His kernel works extremely well with MIUI. Included with this version of MIUI is RC2_5-0718 (now deemed unsafe because it still includes the bug). There is no recovery with this kernel thus no way to flash anything :angel: So that statement was idiotic. Anyway, this is still the only kernel that does what you need it to with the current build of MIUI. Hopefully when I am able to get through the errors with catlog and have our miui align with latest CM9 all will be well with newer kernels. Until that day happens use the included kernel otherwise you will have no video, wifi, or proper mnt of internal/external memory. Now Chris has removed the version from his sites so I will be adding a link to my backed up copy of it for everyone to use because if you do need to flash anything in recovery grab one of the latest from the link above and use recovery, boot back into miui (remember you wont have wifi, so setup mobile odin ahead of time if you are away from pc) and odin back to the included kernel. I do this as necessary and has been no problem honestly. A bit time consuming but it works.
Link to included kernel with ROM. Remember this does not have custom recovery but is the best kernel for the ROM. Download 41g-RC2_5-0718.tar.md5 Flash with Odin/Mobile Odin
More themes can be found on this website here. Maintained by Rakesh
And official XDA theme thread can be found here

Numero Uno! On behalf of us all...many thanks for carrying the MIUI torch for all of us ET4G users!

this build caught me by surprise! where did you come from captainmorgan?
question, you highly recommend Chris's new kernel, what kernel is included and why not just include his?
thanks for keeping miui alive man!

It would not hurt to try.

Thanks again for keeping this alive on our devices, and the site for themes as well.

1. You can find previous builds in jafterdarks thread but I would only recommend this weeks release, the others where a learning experience for me.
2. I tried including his kernel but that so far is out of my scope. Also, included kernel FE22 does not include custom recovery.

Hmm...don't know what could be causing that issue for you. Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik again? When I published this port I went from a clean install and also over 2.7.6 both gave no errors. Sorry, stumped on why that may be.

[REQ] Restore old default-open-with-application Picker in JB

Hey there,
the new picker for the default program to open something annoys me... now you always gotta do 2 clicks. Before (in gingerbread e.g.) you could simply tap an application and only needed to do 2 clicks when u wanted to set it as default application.
Further, I'm always getting a notification now where I can dleete the default settings. It's annoying.
Any possibility to restore the old picker or at least to remove the notification?
running wanam v3.6. (dl18 leak)
thanks!
edit: what I mean...

Indeed very annoying.. Would want to know how to remove that notification myself too.. thanks for opening this thread.. +1.

+1

The choice prompt is built into android jb, and is part of the base system. I'm sure it could be hacked away, but android purists will advocate that it is kept intact. I'm one of those..
But the super annoying Samsung prompt that pops up afterwards, telling us that we can clear defaults, is just plain rude. It is not part of aosp. After I've seen it once, do I really need to be reminded every time I set a default..? No option to turn off this "help"? Flashing and restoring leaks and running a lot of replacement apps I must have seen this popup more than a hundred times.
I hope Devs take notice and fix this. If not for me (I'm on cm10 now) at least for everybody that runs and enjoy stock roms.
Perhaps a small zip cwm file..
Edit:
Apologies for the rant, I just hate the ekstra prompt Sammy added
+1 from me too
