Attention Griffrog, Where are you? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi, Griffrog. Sorry to sound pushy, but whats the lastest on the camera POI update?
Rather than driving fast, your software has actually made me drive slower over-all. Myself and the pedestrian community really appreciate that.
Griffrog we love you, griffrog we do....

A great fun app idea!

well we most know of the lightsaber app for the diamond right?
if not you can search for it here on the forum.
but anyway, i was watching some bruce lee style skit that was recorded on a cellphone and the both things clicked in my head and i thought up of the same concept as the light saber, where it uses the accelorometer to make the noises of punches and really quick movements! all bruce lee style, now that would be fun to use! im guessing one could use the same coding as the lightsaber just change sounds and interface to something like "Kung-fu-Fighter" for diamond or something.
well im just tossing out the idea, im no programer or coder so i really dont have any idea on how to do this, but the concept i think is great, just as much as the lightsaber app, i think alot of people would like this and want this. thanks in advance if anybody can come up with my idea.
oh and by the way, maybe it could have an option for switching between punch movements and just quick "swooshing" sounds for when your not pretending to hit anything but your moving your arms all crazy hahaha
I freaking love it!
yeeey a kung foooooo diamond..
love the idea
bump, i second that
that would be kickass!!
absolutely love the idea

i really like that
but let's just be real and stop dreaming
look how much ideas we have here in diamond section but no response from developers coz they all are busy developing new appz for iPhone to make the iPhone Owners like thier phones better and to make us feel sorry that we dont have that on our phones
i hate steve jobs with his brand-new (game boy).

ok ok, common, hey we all know that iphone has most of the developers ans such, and im surely jelous of it
but thats no reason to get all sad and negative about it.
thats why by giving ideas, we try to stay ahead of the iphone. atleast this could be one thing that the iphone doesnt have. and that would be one step ahead.
and common, dont hate. its as simple as people buy what they want, or what they need. simple as that, its like hating xbox just because they released halo 3 or something, its just doesnt make sense. we need to stop looking at the stuff we cant do and look at what we can or could do. simple as that.
besides, i was just giving a suggestion to what would be nice to have, thats all.
My brother have an iphone with two apps like this. One of them is called iFight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2SqPsy9ZPY and the other is called Sounds of Fury. It would be nice to see an app like this for the Diamond.
Does someone have the sounds for such an app? I've got the lightsaber source ;-)

Death to rapidshare! Donating bandwidth

Hey guys,
I've been using XDA developers for ages and lately I've been getting more and more annoyed with the fact rapidshare is used so much. The waiting and the speed are just not what you would like.
My hosting offers me 7.5 terabyte bandwidth to waste a month so I've set up an ugly but hopefully effective file-upload script on:
http://bjornbrala.com/downloads/
If you register you will be able to upload files. FTP access is also possible, but that i will need to setup separately.
I hope dev's will start and use this, it free, and fast!
Man, very nice! It's a great help and a good alternative.
And it's quite fast!!!

Thanks, now i hope this gets adopted, would be nice to help, and too see if i can burn through the bandwidth
I agree. It is absurd to me that anyone is using Rapidshare. It is the worst download service ever. Megaupload is only marginally better. There are a LOT of much better, free, sites for sharing and your setup looks to be the best. However, unfortunately, most people are not able to change nor acknowledge things that are better than what they have, so I doubt this will ever catch on. Sad...

How's the NAND (really)

I know it has been made possible(thank you fine XDA Devs
But, how solid is it?
Battery - Seems good
Freezing?
Glitches
Hang Ups
Resets
Crashing apps
Not working random features?
Speed
I looked through pretty much the whole topic and I just find random issues all over the place. Some major, some not as much.
I am still running my Nexus One SD Build. It's pretty solid. Does have some random hang ups, crashes and no starts. But, rare maybe just a tiny bit more then my Custom Rommed Vibrant.
I kinda wanna know, since this is the way to go. A NAND build is more of a "true" OS then a SD build.
If you believe your NAND ROM setup is near a 100% I would love to see what combo you are using.
I think your question should be here
how are you ?

This is for posting DEV topic ONLY, ie for devs to post their work or projects etc, Not for n00b questions (no offence).
If you want to ask a question then you do it in the correct place ie the Q&A forum. You will get "NAND only experience replies" because that what's your topic is about.
Please dont spam the dev section, this isnt place for conversation topics.
I have noted that the following common issues plague most of the NAND builds I have installed (have tried and used 4 so far):
1. Low in-call volume : there is a fix for this so no longer an issue but was almost a deal breaker.
2. Robotic voice when you make your first call or sometimes randomly.
3. Decreased battery life: this is what is annoying me the most as the battery runs out far more quickly than on WinMo... i dont believe all other claims coz I have tried all the builds personally and i can definitely tell a difference.
4. No TOMTOM for Android. This is very annoying. Copilot and Google Nav just does not cut it for me (agreed this has nothing to do with NAND ROMs but just mentioning it as an issue for me)
Overall I would keep this for my phone if it wasnt for the BATTERY issue which is a deal breaker for me !! I may well go back to WinMo due to this. I definitely need longer battery life than NAND can provide right now.

It's alright bro, ignore them.
I thought NAND would be made a reality if and only when all the bugs were straightened out and the ROM was deemed NANDworthy? I thought that super RAM or SD builds were fine until such a time a jump to NAND seemed logical going forward.
I think NAND is serving the sole purpose right now for those that absolutely hated WM and get rid of WM completely although I don't see how WM would have come in the way of a super ram or SD build anyway.

1. only the first sd-builds got the issue, never had with "out-of-beta-state" nand builds.
2. true, have this on every build exact ONE time after flash, then never again.
3. this point is shocking me... i was using stock and custom roms (atermis / HD2O) for 6 months and i have to say that windows have the most ****ed up battery management i've ever seen. randomly 15-85mA in standby with data connections and syncs turned off. that's very ugly and you have to charge the phone nearly every day... on android nand builds i usually have 2-5mA without data connections turned on. with data turned on ~8mA.
4. well... imo tomtom is the worsest and most ugly nav system ever spread. i prefer igo or navigon. i don't need a crappy bruce willis voice on my navigator, i'm a fan of 3d navigation with nice animated functions and nice instructions
at least you can use google navigation with sattelite view turned on.
BTT:
you should use a build made for daily usage... no ginger-stuck-crap or som bloated releases with crapware installed.
just my 2 cents...
my setup:
miui-rom 1.1.7
kernel: 2.6.32.15-prjv3
radio: 2.15.50.14
(clockworkmod)
NAND is awesome
i got this phone because i know NAND would be avaliable.
I played around with winmo for a few days and that was nightmare
Now I stand proudly against those with EVO / DesireHD in their hands/
LoL. . . . Yeah. I love the internet bad asses.
Some how I strongly doubt that any of these posting trolls would say any of this BS to my face.
The biggest issue I am seeing in my SD build is file corruption after a semi extended period of time(at least a week or two).
But, NAND does not seem 100% so far - THE REASON FOR THIS THREAD. . . . Geez
It should be a sticky so people know what to expect and not just flash the living crap out of their phones.
Nowhere near as fast as SUPERAM (Darkstones build) but tomorrow i believe Darkstone will be releasing a NAND/RAM combo so this is yet another excellent advancement in Android development.

HD2 Android development stall

I know there are a lot of people out there excited about getting sense 3.0 on hd2 and all that jazz, but has nobody else noticed, the kingdom roms etc have dragged development on hd2 to an absolute crawl, we've completely dropped of xda's front page and to me it seems that its because everybody is doing the same thing and having the same problems doing such. Pretty much everything in nand development is now about trying to get camera working properly and remove graphic glitches from kingdom roms....really...do I need 15 different versions of the same rom ALL with EXACTLY the same issues, and all with EXACTLY the same time frame for resolution...that is to say, there is no time frame. I'm being a whiney little bugger I know, but seriously, and this is the worst thing I could ever say about xda...I'm bored! Its all the same and its all rubbish...I would much prefere if somebody would do me a favour and return to building a nice simple rom on which EVERYTHING works, just put some effort into that so when I see something interesting, I can just whip my phone out and take a pic, rather than having to explain to everyone nearby that my camera doesn't work because the rom was rushed out so I can have a shiny lock screen instead. The roms used to work 100%, but then everyone got carried away with sense lockscreens and quadrant scores....I don't care about any of those things...I would like a rom that just works all round. And before somebody makes a snarky comment along the lines of "if you want it so bad why don't you do it yourself?" Well...simple answer, I'm not smart enough, I love xda because we're an open community where talented people share their work freely just for the pleasure of seeing something that was never intended to be boot up on our devices...amazing! And I don't mind donating when something is GOOD, when it works and I appreciate the technical work that went in to make it work...not the technical work that went in to make it look pretty, at the expense of some fairy disastrous issues.
Please xda, enough with the benchmark willy waving competition! Please somebody just go back to making things that work rather than pretty...pretty useless...eyecandy!
And one final closer, I KNOW those issues are inherant to porting the kingdom rom...so here's an idea...ditch the kingdom rom! Just go back to desire base...yes maybe the quadrant score is only a third of newer roms...but you know what...the Desire roms FELT fast and smooth because they were simple and quite light on the cpu....all the new roms are slow and tooth grindingly stuttery and laggy, even with their amazing benchmark scores. So I say poo to benchmarking and active lockscreens...how about a working camera and a rom that actually FEELS complete?

What you "need" has nothing to do with it, devs dont work on the roms because they have to, They do it because they WANT to, They work on what they "need" or want to and then share the work.

Desire base has been ported already and doesn't need more work until the desire gets and update. If you like the desire base so much why don't you just stick to the roms already available? Ill tell you why because you enjoy trying new builds, again that's your decision but you cant then complain just because most of the devs are hard at work on what THEY want to work on rather then what YOU want them to work on!
I personally don't want them to work on anything else apart from the kingdom, why? because its down to personal preference just like yours, at the end of the day its upto each individual dev what they work on!
PS. Please go and learn how to use paragraphs and sentence breaks etc as it just gets on your nerves when trying to read big long blocks like that.
ugh. this crap again? really? another thread dedicated to complaining that xda isn't giving you everything you want yesterday? and what do you expect with this kind of "support" - developers to come running over to you and ask you what you want?
this is exactly, exactly, what pushes people away from here.

I don't tend to go for the latest development, but rather one that works well.
If I want to try out a different version of SD Android, then I read what the chef has posted and all the posts relating to that specific release version. If it states that the camera isn't working yet, then I'll leave it as I use the camera. If it is noted that Bluetooth doesn't connect properly to headset, then I would use it, as I don't Bluetooth.
Playing the devil here:
At some point I can understand Peteryoung and I have seen several other people complain about this as well.
I have the HD2 just to toy around next to my E71 which makes it easy to say that I don't need a +90% working image. If something doesn't work tough ... and I will try another.
It would be nice to have the old trusty working roms like the one from Rafdroid updated to the latest working apps and all of the known fixes in 1 package.
I'm no developer but I am sure some of you could tweak the 'older' sense roms and incorperate all the latest working things. The GPS fixes are a nice example.
I personally applaud the devs in that thread for feedback and just trying to get it to work using feedback and interacting on it.
If the devs are focusing on newer type of roms, so be it and let them do it.
Lets face it, Android is fun on the HD2 but still it is a bit 'playing' around.
A retraction
Guys, I'm sorry
I think I was having a right cranky day when I penned that last grouchy missive.
I stand thoroughly ashamed and rightfully corrected on my last thoughts.
I really do appreciate all the work the devs put in for free here. I really do love the older desire roms and I guess I'm getting old, starting to refuse the changes of the times
I take it all back, I guess I really should stick to what I know best and let the youngsters do what they do best...making NEW stuff, not old.
I must say, I feel a little aggrieved at the sheer vitriol my post gained in response, but hey I guess after I'd battered everybody else with my tirade - that's just what I deserve.
Anyway, I hope the community can find it in their collective hearts to forgive this old sinner - I promise I won't write any more critical tirades on xda any more!
Apologies xda, I love you really xx
Peteryoung
P.S - Was the paragraph structure a little easier on the eye this time round?
Some just are not happy with ****...hey, you don't like it, move on back to WM6.5 where everything works. This is not a native android device so be lucky these developers are spending hours and days and more hours and more days so whiney ass spoiled brats like you can use their work for FREE. Be lucky you can even have ANDROID on the HD2! Another thing is there are plenty of what I consider perfect roms to choose from and many I have donated too.
Your apology is a joke you are still just acting like a *****...man up and get over yourself....

[Q] Linux 3.4 Kernel of the N4

Hey dear XDA community I just watched a review of the (awesome) new N4 . And I just wanted to know whether anybody knows the things which are better at this version? I did believe that it would save some power but since the battery test of the prototype went bad... I'm a little bit confused about that... So what do you think?
(I know that it hasnt been released yet but maybe someone knows something so please dont blame me
