If so how? or where can i download some footage to watch on my phone like films?
I'm sure _I_ cannot watch TV on _your_ phone as we're not even in the same country.
Hell... this forum going down the drain. A big percentage of the people joining currently only start threads which are answered a hundred times already... most often not even a specific topic (being much worse than in this thread). This a developer forum (hence the name!), not a "I'm a goddamn noob, much too lazy to read a thing... you all GOT TO help me. You owe me, you know." forum - well, it was.

Can you watch TV on your phone..... live tv.... hmmm.... where would you stick the ariel (answers on a post card please). IF you have a data package, maybe you could find an internet TV streaming site, not sure of the power of the device to do that though.
As for downloading footage, I have heard of this thing called the "internet" I think you can download lots of things from there.
Good luck!

You should join the gang here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272524
WelshDragon, ignore the gripers, welcome to the forum. And in fact, contrary to what they say, you can watch live TV on your phone with Slingbox, see http://www.slingmedia.com/indexa.php , although I do not believe the European version has been released yet. I use it here and it works a treat. Also, check out sites like http://www.cbs.com/ , from where you can watch streaming video of complete shows. Also check out http://youtube.com/.
Check out orb.com I use it with TCPMP on my phone. I use orb with a TV tuner in my computer to stream my cable and movies to myself. Orb can explain how to do this in detail. Hope this helps.

While the above posts are valid, just remember that if you are using a GPRS connection or any other Pay system for internet, your costs are going to be a drawback.
I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, but I don't think there is yet a hardware TV solution in the MiniSD card format. The ones I have seen are on a full size SD card.
And also, welcome to the forum. Like you, we all started out as newcomers and yes, many of us, including me, used the search functions and just didn't have the time to wade through all the results. It's very daunting at the start.
All I will say on the matter is, try to search but if you don't find an answer, post a new thread. Just include, "I have searched but......" in it. If you have tried, fair enough.
Skype works fine on my Wizard, which has a miniSD card. Not sure why the card would make a difference, Skype recommends that the software be installed on the device, not on the storage card. Skype works OK with Edge or even GPRS connection, although of course much better with wi-fi. I have unlimited data with T-Mobile, but you are correct that if data is limited the extra costs could be significant if you watch a lot of TV.
Hi Folks,
I've had a TP2 for a while now and modded it loads of time with help on this site and wanted another unit with android so I bought the magic from another user on here called thedalmeny, the deal went through flawlessly may I add.
I am not a noob when it comes to modding but I am when it comes to the magic! I have a Vodafone branded Magic in the UK 32B.
Now the Magic was rooted when I got it and has Qteknology Devs Roms for VodaMagic 32b.
How do i find out which SPL has been used on it?
Also, I'm finding this rom to be a bit slow, which one's could I use instead?
And i'm getting a notification, "SD card is damaged" it's asking me to format it. If I do this via the phone is that ok?
thanks for the help.
I don't wanna be an ahole, but seriously. You just asked a ridiculous question, it's the most simple and most basic question. it's answered EVERYWHERE because you NEED it if you even wanna root your phone, it's the first thing you check. Seeing as how you modified your TP2, you should have some knowledge on how to look up info yourself. Please don't tell me people spoonfed you every step of the way.

Have you even tried looking for help? Start here: I click on the dev section and theres a bunch of stickies. People also always ask which roms they could use, take a look at the other 8126189217 threads. But seriously: Do something yourself. Spoonfeeding = more horrible questions. I don't see why your questions should be answered here when they're all already answered elsewhere. Trust me, you'll continue asking more and more. There's a lot you have to know and you could learn all this if you read things and searched.
As for the third question, I guess thats an ok question, not really but sort of. Why is it not ok to format via phone? I don't see how it could damage it more or anything. Just make sure everything on your sd card is backed up incase.
Hopefully from now on, you can do some research yourself and if you get really stuck, we'll definitely help.
Haha, love it. Don't worry, I don't take offence easily!
Come on, I see these types of questions all the time and they always get answered.
Yes, I realise this one has been answered, not exactly the way I would've liked it but still it is much appreciated.
I have already done a whole bunch of reading, I just wanted the learning curve not to be so steep...
Flashing a TP2 rom seems a piece of cake compared to all the messing you have to do with the magic.
My real q was to do with the SD card really, I added the other 2 as a cheeky try to get info easy, don't worry, lesson learned.
The reason why I asked about the SD card because I've read that you need to partition this and that and did not want to format the sd card incase the format would not make all the necessary partitions and it would in some way brick the phone. I know, I know, how could the sd brick the phone. Just wanted to check.
Cheers.
Yeah the learning curve is a bit steep, but if you need help or something you can just send me a pm and hit me up on google talk or something. The SD card only has to be Fat32 and you're set. Theres other things such as swap/ext partitions which are explained in other help topics but to be honest, you don't need them. It's more for the old G1/Dream devices. You can use swap if you want but I find my phone perfect without it. if I'm correct, it may even cause some damage on your sd card (although im not 100% sure). But yeah, if you really do need help (I personally find it easier talking to someone rather than reading a billion instructions as well) then let me know via pm.
As you all know if you've used this phone for a while, it lags a bit going from app to app or opening them.. In the development section they have roms and flash-able fixes but you have to partition your sd card a certain way and it so annoying that this double phone storage on the vibrant makes it difficult or not accessible at all to partition the external sd card. Ive been looking for ways to do this but I keep getting the run around to download these programs on the pc to partition it and even the direction for dummies doesn't work for me, so I guess i need directions for idiots in which im truly not. I wonder why links for each program or even a video on you-tube isn't made for this. Why in the heck did samsung make the sd card unable to partition. Im so use to my nexus and how videos were out how to partition. Maybe i need to purchase a partitioned sd card from someone in Philadelphia or just wait for froyo and hope they fix the speed. I looooove this phone but im not use to the slow transitions to apps.
don't consider my a crying baby lol Just put yourself in my position and know that Ive been all around trying to partition this new 8gb class 4 sd card. I guess if someone has an easy way, let me know. I would appreciate it.
I know how to make my pc recognize my phone, I have a card reader and Im rooted. Just need help partitioning external sd card
LOL.... I won't flame, but perhaps Samsung is not at fault... perhaps partitioning the card is not going to help.... and perhaps a little searching will show you the commands to key in Terminal Emulator.
Just saying..... wow.

I have issues with Touchdown, thats about it. I switched to Launcher Pro and have very rare lag issue. Certainly not nearly enough to go all ago about trying to partition the card and such, the phone works great the vast majority of the time. So to make a broad generalization like that is not accurate.
both of yall and the sarcasm will be paid no mind. I just said ive looked through that stuff and nothing is very clear. If yall wanted to help, you could have messaged me. and you right, what's the need of flamming? anytime someone post something, people come in with sarcasm because they aren't having problems. If yall know it all, try explaining.. i mean it doesn't hurt to type.

It's my opinion. If you don't agree that's ok. I'm not hear to offended anyone's vibrant. Is it ok to give my experience with it?
I have spoon fed you twice, what did I get? You reported me for cussing (when I typed "F'ing") and a moderator got on to me because I pointed out you made two threads for the same thing, one of which was in the development section. Apologies if I'm not dying to assist. I DID answer your question though, again. I'm not sure why you feel you are entitled to being spoon fed every time you make a thread.

Just download paragon partition manager and format the sd card as a FAT32, then put 1-2 GB partition of ext3 on the sd card (ext4 is you understand kernels, which I do NOT).
Should be simple. Paragon costs a couple of bills, but is a useful tool. Also, if you are really that desperate I sure there are ways to "acquire" that software for free. But I recommend paying the hard working developers for their thoughtful work.

thank you. I will ignore the people that continually say smart things. I appreciate you being kind. I downloaded pargon manager and even tried to purchase it and guess what, it says my transaction couldn't go through loool.. i called pargon and they said it may be a hold from purchasing international things. i called my card company and they said it should work. but no working. o well, i guess this partitioning isnt for me lol. thanks so much though. I got all the way to partitioning ext 3 and it said i need to purchase the program. i have no luck lol

That thread is as easy as it gets for DIY.
If you really want it, I could probably script fdisk in recovery and give you a flashable ZIP. I haven't done that because I don't want to listen to people complain that it deleted everything on their external SD card that they didn't backup even though I told them that would happen.
If you want the easy to use mods like the G1 has right now, you're going to have to wait a bit. We're all still getting up to speed on the Samsung way of doing things. It took the G1 almost 2 years to get where it is for that stuff. Look back a year or so, and you will see posts about how to partition the SD on a computer and such.
When you post, please keep in mind that the entitlement attitude has driven a number of rather good developers away from XDA in the past. Even Cyanogen got irritated for a while there and that guy is a saint. Nobody here owes you anything. Figure that out and you will be happier.
Now, if you really feel I should owe you something, here's my offer. Ship me your phone, with $100USD + return shipping costs and I will apply the current ext4 mod at the time I receive it. Including partitioning your SD card and full testing to ensure it's working properly before sending it back.
That's my going contract rate, so if you want to make demands on my time, you can pay me what my clients do. Keep in mind that the current mods I have posted for free, and my time here posting helping people out, also for free, would amount to about $1000 of my time were I charging for it. That's just for the Vibrant, not counting the tons of time I spent on the G1 forums. This is time I take away from my free time, which I have very little of. I do it because I enjoy tweaking my stuff. It would save me a lot of time and aggravation to not post about it and not share. However, I have benefited from other developers here and I want to contribute back to the community. Making people like me regret doing that is not a good way to get help.

thanks for the reply and I understand. Patients is the key I im sure. I just don't like when people get offended and I really didn't mean it like owe us attention etc. Im only saying that people do contribute to donating and such for devopement and the kindness of their heart for devloper's good work... so because we have questions, we are called idiots, dummies, etc. That's not fair. But THANK YOU. it's all appreciated. Clearly you can see that there are some evil people within XDA and people shouldn't be allowed to just say what they want to someone because they *know it all*.
And you are absoulutely right about the G1 and it's production lol.. took a while. Im going to be patient.

The guy that posted that probably isn't allowed to post links yet and he added those to try to help you despite this restriction. And in your ignorance you attack him.
I'm saying this in all kindness and honesty, for your own good... Judging from what I've seen of you in this thread, and only this thread, I'm going to say you probably shouldn't be rooting or flashing your phone, as you are going to be far too likely to brick it.

Alright fine, the things I do for you people. I'm still copying all the data back to my SD card, but flash with with clockwork/ROM Manager and you will get a 1GB ext3 partition set up properly. I didn't do ext4 because it requires a new kernel. If you can make Odin work, you can use adb shell and paste a couple commands into the terminal.
Note that by itself, this won't do anything for you. You need to apply one of the data/cache to SD hacks from the userinit thread in the development forum. My latest in my thread over there won't work without the new kernel, so don't try it unless you have updated the kernel. If you ask what Odin is, you haven't upgraded the kernel.
This will NOT work with the stock recovery, it's not signed with the right keys. It will also not do your laundry or create world peace. If you want more than 1GB, edit the script.
And yes, THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON THE EXTERNAL SD CARD.
It uses a modified version of the sdpartd script from the G1 forums, GNU parted, and e2fsprogs pulled from Amon-RA 1.7 along with some scripting by me. Tested on my Vibrant. I'll also post a copy in my thread in development for people looking for one-stop shopping.

I think he is wanting to try the rom here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743506
Hence the reason for wanting the partitioned card, I tried to help over in that other thread but he was making it harder than it really is. I was even going to write a step by step guide using GParted complete with pictures for him. But then someone linked that same thread above and I felt I'd just be re-inventing the wheel.
Thanks for hooking him up, I've got my fingers crossed it goes well for him.. Having spent 3 hours on my wife's phone after a failed flash I'm praying he doesn't have a problem. Odin is NOT a user friendly experience hehe.
Download and burn a GParted Live boot CD. Stick in your PC's drive and boot.
Completely free. Completely open source. And simple. I've used it many times to partition my SD card for my G1.
Greetings folks.
First time posting to these forums so I have to post here. I did see another thread in this forum on the Eos ICS Nightly builds but it has degraded into a discussion of the limitation of posting in the Dev forums, something I'm not fussed about. So far I'm extremely impressed by the work done and am more than happy with my understanding that this is an Alpha Build and not everything works.
This is not a complaint about things not working but rather a query that has come out of reading the entire EOS Nightly thread.
One thing I can not ascertain from the forums: it seems some people are able to use the External SD card in Read/Write mode. Unfortunately, I can not seem to be able to do so. I'm only able to get it in Read Only mode.
I've tried issuing standard Unix chmod commands (g+w) to change the mode without success. I tried checking for a mount table in /etc also without success.
Can someone please advise if a) /mnt/external1 can be made Read/Write under Build 12, and b) if so, how to get it going?
Much Obliged,

Burden,
Thanks for the swift reply. I'll give it a try.
I should have mentioned that I've tried using Alpha File Manager to do this. Up until now that is Also, in the past, with the Tiamat kernels, Alpha was able to Read/Write to the external. However, I do understand that not all applications are ICS ready. I'll try Root Explorer and post the results to this thread.
Much Obliged,
M_Cheevy
It only worked for me when I downloaded an External card write app from the market.
As far as my thread went, well you classing it as me complaining mybe explains some of the comments I got I suppose. My point on OTG was not a complaint at EOS but as you have mentioned here it does not work. All I was aiming at and if you read the Motorola forums both external card write and OTG mount were never enabled by Motorola, no one seems to be saying if they will with be enabled by Motorola in ICS ?
Now if this is was an Alpha build by Google I could understand, but if Motorola can only work with this and thats it, it does concern me with how much better off we will be.
Xoom68,
Please don't mistake my characterisation of your query as a complaint. I merely stated that the thread had gone that way. I'd really rather this thread merely addressed the specific issue I had with Read/Write.
Burden010: Thanks. I did cough up the $4 for Root Explorer and it was able to access the External SD in Read/Write mode successfully.
I'll update the thread header with a "Resolved" flag. (Tried, but doesn't seem to be possible)

I suspect most of these issues will have to be resolved by the game publishers, and there's not much the EOS team can do about it. These are probably compatibility issues with the game itself under ICS. I'm fairly sure they will be gradually resolved by game publishers as more ICS devices get in the wild.
Multiple Questions -
Would like a solution for all of them but will be researching on my own and posting updates about what I find as well. I want to begin by first asking you for your patience, and Thanking you for everything you guys do here at XDA. I sctually feel kinda cool, being a part of it. I cant wait to learn and master the world of Android and use it in my career field - Technology - IT
Also, trying to start a new discussion thread. (after my questions are closed out finished here, Id like to see it become a place where people come and are looking for a general place to look at cool ideas for your Android and PS3 and what you can do with them together. First, since I looked at all my questions and found sever closely worded scenarios that weren't what I wanted, You need a little background on me and the actual scenarios to get the full grip.
Okay, here it is. Ive been looking for a= for all the cool things I could do with my Android (Droid X2 - 2.3.5/Rooted- Eclipse 2.0.4) that involved my new PS3. I just got the PS3 and I was a hardcore Playstion fan since my early childhood. My first console as a matter of fact, was the PS1 with Gran Turismo 1. And while looking through the OS3's capabilities, I was Astounded... Yes you may like the Xbox 360 and I will give you that it is a very good gaming system that has many great and popular games (and you can play music saved on the local HD whilst you play {I havent quite gotten that done yet on the PS3 but I hope to.}) The Sony is much more.. You can do many interesting and by definition awesome things via Networking, Bluetooth, Internet, etc.. I recently graduated with my Assoc. in Networking and Im always thinking of all the things I need to make happen and what all will be required to preform, thus my occupation as a Network Admin (a beginner, but with excellent troubleshooting skills and quick learning). I hope to go back and BS in it as well and eventually master it (I want mo money) but while I am in my BS program, along with some other essential Cert's I will be needing, I want to completely and thouroughly learn the Android world and get a cert in it. I love the Android technology and capability.. :0 So, instead of reading forum after forum, like I usually do, Ive decided to join many of these forums and actually start, I figure you help me, I help you, we all get better. And, I'll be able to ask specific things, in my own words and have intelligent, Android users/devs to answer me and teach me (something Google cannot do.)
Now that you have a background on me (cause you may see me a lot), I must digress and get o with it. After Running through all the forums looking up ideas for my Droid X2 and how to use it to do a ton of cool things with my PS3, I will admit I had my heart set on a few specific things, but I found that there are a few threads about these kind of things and some are duplicate and there isn't a lot said.. Im opening this thread to get an answer to a few good questions of mine and then to leave it open for a discussion thread for anyone looking for the same kinda stuff one day so itll be all here, instead of way out in the cloud in bajillions of different places..
So, FIRST: I wanted to save a little money on a Playstation 3 remote (the one you use to wathc movies, like a T.V. remote) and use my android somehow via an app communicating with the Sony via bluetooth, network (since my phone is rooted and basically on the same Network as the Sony) anything. Is there anything like this out there? I am in the process of researching CM for the Droid X2 and Im learning about it, apparently the only app out there to do this with is Blueput droid I believe and its only $3 in the market but, Im an android/IT/hacker mod kinda guy, as long as its smooth stable and WORKS, and I believe that there is usually always a free way (on most things small like this esp) Blueput came out in beta for free but it only works for certain devices DX2 not being one of them, unless... You have CM7 any and all information about anything In my post would be saved and studied and used to learn with. So I can Own and be like you guys, a developer. So feel free to answer any and all of the trillion things you notice me wondering about and you happen to know or have an idea, I will work with you too} Now, I think CM7 will work on the Dx2 now, Ive been seeing so many people talk about how awesome it is, and that takes me to the second--
SECOND: Cyanogenmod {7} -- I have seen people raving about this, and from what I've gathered its a ROM with certain features. Can anyone tell me why this is so popular and whats so cool about it. Note: I'm also curious to any bugs or issues with the Dx2 as well.. Something good to know BEFORE you tackle a project. However, I thought I remember reading somewhere that there was a problem getting CM onto the x2 because of the Bootloader was locked {and still is according to what I read} I know that I may not seem like a computer idiot, I am capable and I can learn anything, but Im about to ask a stupid question, but I wont know til I ask so, will someone attach a link or something tell me in human words, what the boot loader actually is or does? My learning method was usually from the ground up and when I learn all the angles of something I can effectively troubleshoot or combine technollgies to make some cool capability, I should know what a damn bootloader is by now, but whatchya gonna do... *Face Palm
THIRD: Ok so this one is IMPORTANT -- I just got the PS3 and ofcourse I got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. {Black ops has that cool zombie level you play to pass time with friends or when you're baking up some good *greens the delicious way lol but it was $30 bucks already and MW3 was still 60 and more popular and IMO one of the best ever made to date, and thats considering all games in my lifetime, back to the 90's. So what I wanted to do is somehow use my phone as a head set for the Sony in MW3 so I could talk to the people {I can hear them when they talk and its pretty funny lol} Until just recently I didnt know that online play with the Sony was free.. *Face Palm again... So I immediately got on and started getting my own ass placed at my feet bu children..... I then found that you can hack the game, but I couldnt find any of the hacks online except one password protected rar folder that my rar password recovery program will take it 30 years to crack... smdh I would assume that linux has a method that is MUCH faster. Not that I want to cheat, just use on the campers. and other lobbies full of actual hackers that cheat.. My sole intention is to get very well off at the game and just do free for all. awaiting better stats..
When I looked into this one, I see no hope; but thats where the gurus can help. I know that the Sony and my x2 both use Bluetooth 2.0 but I did see something someone said that the Droid cannot be used as a mic There has to be a way. If not Bluetooth the over the Network or internet or something! Anyways, yeah, that was top priority when I thought of it.
Blueput Droid and CM7 I believe give me the ability to use my phone as a wireless mouse and keyboard, If so then awesome. I still want the DVD Player remote (like the tv remote) function.
I know that the headset or something like it, has to exist. I've even been as far as to say that if I used a remote desktop app (in Android it may be ssh or something, if Im right and remember it being, different and weird.) and when you are in control of said dev, you have access to the system, your external devices such as USM and even, the microphone {tada!} would be an input for the machine I was remoted into. Anyway, I also through the network out their (LAN) bc of DroidMote Beta and that with that capability out there, I know I can remote play my PS3 with a PSP and probably a Rooted android, if so, I can join the Dualshock3 controller to my phone, and then I can play it on my phone with the controller, and using the mic, and speakers and screen! and having said all of this.. A book for goodness sakes.. I may also just be crazy. and wrong, which I am not afraid to admit.
Now I know that this was EXTREMELY long winded, as Im sure you can tell that I took my medicine this morning lol this is one add man that is not hindered by the slow, sluggish effects of having ADD. So, excusing my massive post, I hope that I have started a very useful thread that will attract other posters in the future and will evolve into a PS3:Android discussion forum, saving oodles of people time when searching for this fantastic sorcery I hope I have helped and contributed, as I plan to do for all of you as I can.
Given the information above and the questions I had swarming around that I put on this post, could you help me with these? Thank you in advanced for all that spend their time on this. I appreciate all the work Ive seen you do in the years past and now Im here to help as well.
PS: Since you know I am not to new to forums, meaning that Ive read them ALOT and know how they work basically, I never actually participated (How weak of me; what a drain) So I may not have the method down quite right. I will remember to keep the post's smaller than this one and post in the right place. I am open and begging for any and all tips and information on the forum, Android, and the inquiries above. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
