Viewing Canon RAW Files in Image Viewer

The Ubuntu 10.04 Image Viewer can display Canon RAW image (.CR2) files, however, when viewing one, it doesn’t recognize other CR2 files in that directory for the purposes of displaying the next image. It does do this for other image types, such as JPEG. There is a workaround for this problem. Select all the CR2 files in Nautilus, right click one and select “Open with Image Viewer.”

Upgrading Radio with ROM Manager (CyanogenMod 10.1)

These instructions are using ROM Manager 5.5.3.0. The radio upgrade process has gotten much easier since I last did it.

From your computer, download the radio zip file (Toro radios are available from xda-developers) and check its MD5Sum. Put the radio zip file in Dropbox. (If you don’t have Dropbox, you can email it to yourself or connect USB and transfer it that way.)

On the phone, open the zip file in Dropbox (or a file manager). Depending on what apps you have installed, you’ll have the option of opening it with ROM Pre-Installation or ROM Pre-Installation will start automatically. For radios, there’s no need to change the defaults (don’t back up existing ROM and don’t wipe cache and data). Select “Reboot and Install”. That’s it!
