Screenshot App Help!
Dunno why but it stopped working suddenly. Between one screenshot and the next something happened now it just says "Screenshot.raw file not found" and doesnt take the screenshot. I use the timer method. Any ideas?
|Spike|
uinstall and reinstall?
try to see if it still has super user rights
try to post in the screenshot thread so that the person that wrote the app can see that there was a random problem
just reboot
The app is bad,did you install a theme because this has happened to me a bunch of times,reinstalling the app wont work you need to install what ever JF build your using and it will work just fine.
If you did install a theme which theme is it?
Since the Screenshot App refused to work for me (>_>) I had to find a different way to do it which many of you probably already know about and is the way all those websites obtained screenshots of the G1 before release.
You can do it via a tool in the SDK called DDMS. You need to have the JDK installed first! You need to have your G1 plugged in via USB (but not mounted). Enable Debugging in the Settings > Applications menu and then you can open up DDMS. Once it starts select your device from the menu on the left (yours should be the only one and you really dont have to select anything. Then simply press CTRL+S and your screenshot is taken. A new window will open asking you to save, cancel, etc. It saves it in .png format in a location of your choice.
Just thought I would share.
Also, worth mentioning. The site I got this information from suddests having a IDE installed but I didnt and it worked just fine. Dont ask me what an IDE is cuz I dont know >_>

This is old and has been seen many times,and if you had root,the Screenshot app would work. Did you search before you post?
As I said I'm sure you all have known about this. To answer, yes I did search but didn't find anything on Xda but found it on google. I had mentioned previously about the Screenshot app not working for me (kept saying a file was missing) and no one mentioned an alternate method. Again, I was fairly sure everyone already knew about this but I still felt it worth mentioning for those like myself who may not have known.
Sry to have made a redundant post. Not my intention. I just like to share my findings and try to be as helpful as possible to people.

News to me. Good to know if the screenshot app fails (which it did once, had to wipe the phone to get it to work again). Thanks.
AGX HOW DARE YOU POST THIS UP AGAIN!!!! DIDNT YOU KNOW ITS FORBIDEN? AND ITS A SIN?!?!?!? lol wow ok so dont worry about people trippin about you "re-posting" something. not everyone knows every damnthang so thanx bro. good find for those of us that dont know snot (like me)

It's not that it's forbidden, but if someone uses message boards, it is assumed that one knows how to use the search function. It's just like on a job, if you are asked the same question over and over and over and it's something that it's documented already, that would annoy you, right? That is all.
I didn't actually ask a question. I just posted up what I found. And I am very well versed in searching. I found what I was looking for didn't I? But I couldn't find any results for it in XDA of all those I looked through. Anywho, don't want to argue or waste space posting in this so again, sry if this annoys anyone, not my intention. Lets leave it at that so this topic can drown in the sea of posts like the one I couldn't find did.

/me starts his "rimshot" app on his G1.
Is there any way to have show/hide tags such as
Spoiler
text
, to have a block of text hidden until you click on it?
Relevant links:

http://www.creationlab.info/2008/09/creating-vbulletin-bb-codes-from-html/
I'd like something like this for my guide so it doesn't show all sections at once. That way the person can choose to show only the section they're working on.
Does this exist on these forums?
If not, can the site admin consider adding it?
Also, is there a way to "hack" this in via the [ HTML ] tags?
Not at the moment. Something like this maybe in vB4 when we upgrade.
Spoiler tags seems a bit hacky, the admin's might consider if there is something a bit more user friendly or fit for purpose.
Collapsing information seems the wrong way to do it. I think a navigation (contents page) that allows quick thread navigation without opening in a new window / tab would be better.
Dave
Doh, that's too bad.
I'm not sure what you mean by a contents page? Splitting up one post into several, may make things a bit more hectic?

Like the contents page on Media Wiki pages : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development
In my experience, so long as the posts are sequential and the OP has the ingenuity to disable their sig until the last post, it's not too bad.
Dave
Ah I see.
What if you only have the first post in a thread?
It's too late for me

Post less? (j/k)
I was thinking about linking inside a thread. HTML allows Anchor / Name tags to do this. A way of building a contents page could be handy.
So the contents could have:
Post 1
- Part 1
- Part 2
Post 2
-Part 3
etc. etc.
It might just be a dream though : http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?p=2031310

I also think that this would be a good idea. For example, a rom developer could hide the changelog, todo list, Q&A, etc leaving the first post much less cluttered and simpler to navigate, but still displaying the same ammount of information. I know how to use anchors and links with HTML, but I don't really know if most people know all the code, and it would be more complicated. For example, just a single link to an anchor named banana would be Link to banana. It would be much simpler to just use a
Spoiler
tag.

Yes, another excellent idea!
A collapsible tag could be useful in so many situations!
Here's another possible use: signatures. Almost everyone has a list of the phones they have, current rom, radio, spl, recovery, mods, themes, etc. We could literally change 5-10 lines of text to a single "show" button on every single post on every forum. I have no idea how much work it would take to implement this, but it would really be a kickass idea.
Hi everyone,
i know this is a pretty old topic, but i wanted to know if it is meanwhile possible to build a "spoiler"?
i wanted to post a logcat-log but its like 100+ strings long so it would be pretty nice to make this information collapsable to keep threads clear.
thanks in advance

You could use a
Code:
box.
Sorry for also resurrecting an old thread but I too would love a collapsible tag.
As with the OP, I think it would be a real boon to writing guides.
I have a multi-part guide I'm working on/maintaining for the Arc but for each part of it, I'd love to be able to have it split into independently-expandable sections, it would make it so much easier to divide it up clearly and to hide necessary but lesser-used information.
spoiler tag in the forum
any progress on a collapsible tag?
Spoiler
at the end of 2011 ...
if it would work, you would not see this msg, unless you click on it

It is already, especially in some dev threads where people post full logcats
Also, in one thread, I had posted a complete diff between two kernel versions, so implementation if this in the app would also be awesome(although you'll have to talk to tapatalk guys, hope they understand)

We have a "filter" that prevents all caps posting. It makes some posts easier to read, like ones going
"PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE MY PHOOOOOOOOONE NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS ROOTED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW HLAP ME HLAP"
But it appears it is detecting the large number of capitals being used in a row, and is making them lowercase... I will have a play with your post and see if I can get it to override
Hope that explains it. It's an inconvenience in this case, but it is overall pretty handy in making posts readable from those who type using caps lock all the time

LOL, that explains a lot! Thanks for converting that post. But when I edit the post will I lose all my capitals again? If so, is there a possibility to uncheck this option for the first 6 posts on that thread? So I can edit those for in the future.

There's no way to override it manually, I'm afraid.
I think you can edit it fine though... It seems to count the number of caps, as if I added "NOTE" in caps, it would reduce it all to lowercase...
I would suggest using "Title Case" on the remaining ones, as that won't trip the "I CAN HASSSSSSSSSSSSS HALLLLP PLEEEEZ" detector
Resolved - Already implemented. Lock/ignore this thread
Any chance we could get a strikethrough feature in the forums here? The use is obvious but I will give an example anyway. I report a bug, that bug was added to a buglist in the original post but the software in regard is still pending a bugfix. Making this strikethrough makes it obvious for other users to ignore it, and editing the post by just deleting the text is a inconsistent in regards to completion and research. [EDIT] In other words, other readers will see that this matter has been reported and is being taken care of. Assuming the majority of our users are moderately intelligent, this could make the place a LOT cleaner. [/EDIT]
There's no need to add a button even, just for those "in the know" to use even with ... bbcode or add the <del>...</del> HTML tags to the forum software's allowed tags.
I understand that some forums do not like this feature but I can't remember why, I always found it very useful when editing my posts. It's a lot less annoying for other readers than to completely delete an entire paragraph of text. With that said, if there is a reason why this won't be implemented I will not press it any further.
Thanks!
Noobish double post

Hiya everybody,
Im having difficulty using the advanced edit option. I want to edit the title of one of my threads but when I click on the button I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.
I tried using XDA Labs but that failed as well.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Is it doing this on different PC browsers. Sounds like a browser issue BUT it might be something about the thread.
Can you link to the thread in question and just as a matter of interest does it do it on other threads of yours.... like this one?

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.
That worked, however after saving it removed the graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least the graphic links you see in the text editor are still there but all screwed up.
You may be able to add them back but it's going to be a pain... sorry.
I have seen this exact same corruption before and I've spoken to bitpushr about it a few times but he could never replicate the problem.
Quite a few people have this happen to them, my feeling is that it happens when the OP uses unusual fonts or characters and it may be too that copying in content to the post from other sources like MS Word etc., causes stray code to get in and corrupt the post. I strongly suspect that's why it was giving you the Gateway error to begin with.
It might be worth re creating the first post without using any copied in text or at least just plain text and formatting within the post... then deleting the existing post one.
This would need to be done very carefully as any accidental deletion of post #1 will delete the thread.
Another method might be to create a new thread, get post one just right and working, then we copy across all the posts from 2 onward to the new thread and delete the old thread.

Thank you for that, I'm trying the advanced edit now...and it seems to work. No gateway error!
Losing the image links isn't a problem - I have the whole thread saved as a TXT file anyway. I normally write the longer posts in Notepad++, I just find it easier. I used to access this site through IE at work and I noticed that the advanced edit messed up the image links there as well. But not if I used Chrome.
I guess I must have put an unusual code in there at some point over the years..hmm.. Oh well, a good excuse for a refresh!
I'll keep an eye on this and, if I have problems in the future, I'll bear your advice in mind. :highfive:
----update----
502 gateway error again when I try to update the post with new text and a new title. I'll try just updating the title for now. Maybe I need to rewrite the post that much sooner!
Wait...wait...nope, now it's working. Post updated finally! Thanks so much for all your help!

So the idea of getting a Mod to slightly edit the title works then. Except:silly:, don't get me to do it as all the graphics go wrong (I use the WYSIWYG editor too.

The saga continues...
I thought I had this but it looks like I was wrong. Advanced edit works now. I did some trial and error and worked out that error was being caused by one of the mentions I had in there. It looks like I had too many and that's what was causing the gateway error.
But I still can't change the title. I put in a new title and, although I don't get any errors, the title doesn't actually change. It's still the way it was when you changed it.
While I'm trying to get this sorted out, could I please ask a favour? Could you possibly change the title to "[TOOL]Tickle My Android - Decompile & Deodex With Ease"? I normally have the version number in there but I'm beginning to suspect I may have to have a static title rather than one I keep changing...
