It may be possible to setup tasker so that when you launch a specific app that is turns on 4g and then turns it off when you exit. the problem is that the switch between 3g and 4g is soooooo ungraceful that the switch itself can cause battery drain and loss of a data connection for a minute or two
[Thunderbolt General] bradw516:
Did you go into the battery usage screen and see what ate up your battery? The very first night I had my phone the same thing happened so I checked out my battery usage, and like 80% of it was PVWmdrmService or something similar to that. Disabled that and I only lose 5-10% charge every night now. Think it had something to do with Blockbuster trying to update it's movies or something.
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
well the battery usage thing isnt entirely accurate because if your phone is loosing its data connection, an app like blockbuster on gmail could be using an intensive amount of enegry trying to sync/update and so the application woould show up as eating all the battery power but its not really the applications fault but rather the wonky data.

anyway most often my display is responsible for the largest amount of battery use but i have it set to the minimum brightness.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jkommeren:
Just came up with it :p what do you guys think?

I think we really need a single term to be used so when you're e.g. googling for it you find the right stuff.

(right now "Windows Phone" needs the " in google which is a bit of a hastle, WP7 isn't used very often and doesn't generate a lot of results)

Of course any term will do, post your thoughts and/or spread the word!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Crimson Lotus:
Wasn't there a Phone w/ Windows XP on it called WinPhone? anyway, Windows Phone 7 sounds perfectly fine IMO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
Yes, there is a phone with XP on it but not sure what is called.

Until you were asked: 'what kind of phone do you have?'

You answered: 'Windows Phone 7 phone'.

Does that sound right to you ;)

It's retarded name from Microsoft part. We should just call it WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
When i get asked what phone that im using i just say "its one of those new windows phones"
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
The problem is that there are still 'new' phones come out with Windows Mobile 6.xx on it and Microsoft also call them Windows Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I actually prefer "zPhone", for Zune Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
people don't know what the hell windows phone 7 or winphone or windows mobile 6.5 or any of that stuff are, it's all the same to them. I just say I'm running that windows phone with the tiles you might have seen on tv..."
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
I somewhat agree with the consensus here. "Windows Phone" iteself sounds fine. It has the Windows influence, but I suppose they use the number to differentiate it from Windows Mobile. They could have come up with a catchier name... but "Windows Phone" seems to do the job in most cases for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jkommeren:
Well yes it does :) I think the name is just fine!

I was aiming a bit at efficiency :p when you're searching for the other big phones 1 word will suffice in google (iphone, android, blackberry)

E.g. when you're looking for an application for the platform.

For Windows phone you'll need two words and quotation marks, or you'll end up looking at windows applications. Wouldn't it be nice if you could use just one word? :D If people would accept WinPhone as an alternative name to Windows Phone, it'll be used as a "tag" for articles, which would result into more efficient finding of articles.

(and any idiot could then easily find what they're looking for, which is also important)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
That's exactly what I say. And everyone I've said it to understands so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Slicerwolf:
Kinda remids of an iPhone, nah, I wonder where I would come up with that....
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
you could call it MetroPhone and hit a whole new demographic
[Windows Phone 7 General] LosMatix:
I like to call it WinPho7... kinda reminds me of ninpho ;)

I know we have a section for ViewSonic G tablet. Now Should we open new section for Malata Zpad T2 and T8? They are also Dual core A9-cortex CPU form NVIDIA Tegra 2, but they have one 1 GB ram.

The Zpad is IPS screen which means it has a better view angle than Viewsonic.

Cool, I didn't think Sprint was still rolling out Wimax.
[EVO 4G General] Kevin K:
We have had it here in Atlanta for a while. Its so spotty and is always looking for signal. I never even use 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
I can testify to this statement. 4g coverage here in Ga is pretty much a joke, I actually called Sprint expressing my frustration for lack of connection at my house (inside and out) when their coverage map says its so great. All they did was put in a service call, I gave them radio numbers etc etc and after all that they told me "the area you live in is subject to a weak signal and that is why you have 4g issues, we will notify Clear Wire about the issue". In other words they told me that I live in a ****ty reception area and I am SOL.

Its to a point now I don't care if a port/custom rom doesn't have 4g, I can't use it anyway.
[EVO 4G General] github:
Same here 4G in Tampa. Spotty, useless "poor" or never connects at all. Not worth it. Outdoors is sometimes ok, but in a car or indoors forget it.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
It's actually decent in San Antonio, but we were one of the launch cities for Clear internet so maybe that's why. When I'm outside or in the car, even when moving, it pretty much stays connected until you hit the city outskirts. I work in a metal building inside a warehouse, so in here I get no connection but that's understandable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
I see this everywhere, but what exactly is it and what does it mean? I rooted, flash cm7 rc2, flash back to stock Rom then re-flashed AR 4.0 b3.1 all without checking md5... Any negative effects to that? Also I am running stock kernel and whatever radio was pushed to my phone during the one click rooting process...
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
It's basically a file fringerprint. Verifies file intergrity.

[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Open up astro on the phone, navigate to where your file is. Click and hold, press details, and give it a minute, you'll see the checksum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
which file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
anyone care to chime in?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Whichever file you download. If you downloaded the ROM, and want to check the ROM's MD5, open astro, long press the ROM, and check MD5.

If it's a radio you want to check, long press the radio file in Astro and check MD5

I actually didn't know Astro would do this. I found a free program for my computer that will check MD5 sums. Put the file on the SD, tell the program where the file is, it gives me an MD5

Thanks to Xeudoxus for originally showing me the mod!

Attached below is a modded framework and services.jar you can push to /system/framework/ if you're running adrynalyne's debloat. Please back-up prior to pushing!! If applied with any other services.jar mods they will cancel the mod.

Please Refer to bgill55's Thread for the Remove the GPS locator icon from the status bar/added trans pull down mod

and a big thank you to him for combining them so quickly!

THANKS TO EVERYONE HERE! GREAT TO SEE A LOT OF YOU AGAIN!

Sorry no theme requests yet....Got A LOT PLANNED!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] 760hacker:
Ok so if we applied the GPS cross hair removal .zip and want this also. We'll need to mod the Services.jar to include both changes?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SoCalMiles:
no they will cancel out...working on combining them...just wanted to get the instructions out!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] spjoneser:
I was just gonna suggest one without location icon also. Glad to hear it's coming. Have enjoyed some of your work elswhere SoCal! Any plan to ditch the recent apps for some toggles? Those are the only 3 mods I really need for my framework. Any others would just be changing icons which I could swap in myself.

Thanks for the work!

Mod for adrynalyne's basic thunderbolt debloat ROM.

1) transparent pull down

2) HoneyComb battery

3) flying windows animations.

4) No GPS Icon (second download only)

I take no credit or responsibility for this, I just patched it together cuz I like these mods ^^

Thanks to SoCal miles for the services.jar, bgill55 for the nogps services.jar+edify script and hxxp://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ for modifying the framework-res.apk ^^
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] froader:
Is the 2nd link supposed to be almost a 3mb download? seems fishy.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SoCalMiles:
Contains only a modded services.jar and framework-res.apk and is not flashable. I didn't intend for this to be used as an everyday theme mod. Just info for the community. There are more practical theme options popping up in other threads. Nothing fishy with me bro...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bokechukwu1:
Okay I'm running stock Rom rooted can I use this been looking for,this and is this something that can be flashed via clock work recovery?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] froader:
I wasn't aiming towards you, but the post that I quoted.

I went to DL from his link and checked the services.jar ZIPs that I already had and noticed a huge size difference. Stupid me, I didn't even see what you had posted, which was about the same size anyway. So, I thought the worst and asked a question, because the poster had a very low post count.

Anyway, thanks to both of you guys, I ended upflashing the 2nd zip from a few posts above and it looks great and does just what is says. I am not sure what the animated windows are yet. I haven't seen much of a difference with animations yet. Sorry for the judgement, just being safe...

I appreciate the work! THANKS!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Petomatick:
I need to run a command taht I usually do on my computer in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe

But now I want to do the same thing on my android 2.2 phone. Its samsung galaxy 5 if that matters.

Any help with finding it? :)

And how do i run .bat files or do simple start commands in android? I has the console emulator.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smaskell:
Unfortunately, android uses the dalvik virtual machine rather than the jvm. This makes matters a lot more complicated. You can run things with the command "dalvikvm", but it works a bit differently. I forget exactly what you have to do it.

As for batch files... umm.. those are windows files, aren't they? That's definitely not going to work at all. Android seems to be using the bourne shell (sh). I figured it would have been bourne-again (bash) but they're quite similar anyway. Just look up some tutorials on bash scrips if you're unfamiliar with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Petomatick:
So what would i need to do if i want to run this command?

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -Xmx1500M -Xms1500M -jar C:\Users\Petar\Desktop\server\mylillserver.jar"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smaskell:
use the dalvikvm command, like I said. I've never used the "-Xincgc" argument before, so I might be mistaken but it doesn't look like dalvik supports that. It might have a different argument that does the same thing. It does support Xmx, Xms, etc. though.

just try

dalvikvm -Xmx1G -Xmx1500M -Xms1500M -jar /<path>/mylillserver.jar

it might work but it'll probably give you a ClassNotFoundException. I don't know why, but it always seems to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Petomatick:
i ran it like this

su

dalvikvm -Xmx50M -Xms50M -jar /mnt/sdcard/bluetooth/mylillserver.jar

And i got this

-jar not yet handled

Dalvik VM unable to locate class '/mnt/sdcard/bluetooth/mylillserver.jar'

hello,

I have x10i (froyo cm 6.1.3 by wolfbreak - no native tethering due to closed bootloader) and advent vega.

the only solution for wifi tether I know of, is barnacle wifi tether.

the problem is, that my advent vega (cm7 with corvus kernel) is not able to connect to hotspot made by barnacle wifi tether on my x10.

it sees the network, but than no connection is made.

I would be happy, if somebody could help.

thank you.

I have been trying the cm7 hc rom courtesy of mad murdock. I ran barnacle on my htc magic qnd was able to connect my vega and download data that way. Hope thos helps.

its beacuse barnacel sets up and ad hoc network. you need a patch that you flash to make it work. i found it over at modoco somewhere

The Amazon Appstore works great on Cm7 :) just downloaded angry birds rio. Which is free for today!

It detects both my nook and my g2 just fine. and prices tend to be a little cheaper through amazon for apps.

if interested head over to amazon.com/appstore and get Rio it runs and looks great with no ads!

downloaded Rio with no problems. 1.0.1 auto-nootered, with the 1.1 pre-root

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
Downloading from the link works. You need to move the .apk to your /system/app directory before you try to install it.

I also installed the Amazon App store and Angry Birds Rio. I'm also considering buying the original Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons to get rid of the ads! I hate in-app ads!!

Amazon_Appstore-release.apk

2- I moved the apk using dropbox from desktop to Nook and put it on root of SD card

3 - I installed with Apps Installer

4 - Sign in with your Amazon email and password

5 - Voila! enjoy :-)

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Pyrot1c:
Mainly Competition, Lower prices and angry birds rio for free atm :)

Also sometimes the market says our nook isn't compatible with certain apps, while other markets like the amazon store will let us download the app just fine :)

Make sure you allow sideloading in your settings, settings-Applications-Check unknown sources :)

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
Correct, move the amazon-appstore.apk to your /system/app (your internal memory, not the SD card) and try to install it from there.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
You are looking at the directory structure on your SD card. The /system/app is part of the internal memory structure. Without using an app like root explorer, you need to move your .apk files to the /system/app directory.

If you're having trouble, you might want to download Super Manager from the market. In the settings, you can allow for it to use the root access. Then, find the Amazon-appstore.apk that you can download on your Nook Color (towards the top of this thread). Move it from your SD card with the Super Manager app using the file explorer option. Once you place the .apk in your /system/app directory, you should be able to install it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Bobioden:
By going into NookColorTools, checking and unchecking Allow Non-Market Apps, I was able to install the Amazon Appstore with Apps Installer. I can open up the Appstore and select Angry Birds Rio, it starts the download than asks me to insert a SD card. Is there something I need to uncheck to get this to stop asking me about a SD card, and install on the internal drive?

BTW, thanks for all the help.

Bpb
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
For those having troubles installing this and you're using the stock rooted rom, try following these steps:

1) Open "NookColor Tools" and make sure "allow non-market apps" is checked (if you already tried installing the Amazon-appstore.apk and it failed, uncheck/recheck this box)

2) Download the Amazon-appstore.apk (if you haven't already done so) to your Nook Color... Link - http://amzn.to/getappstore

3) Go to the Android Market, and install Super Manager

4) Open Super Manager, go to settings and check "enable ROOT function". (you should get a box popup and select "allow")

5) Exit the settings menu and open "file explorer" in super manager

6) It defaults to your SD card. Open the download directory (or wherever you may have downloaded the Amazon.apk) and either copy or cut the file.

7) Use the "Back up level folder" at the top. You should need to hit it twice if you were in your download directory. Navigate to /system/app. When you select the /system directory, you should see a pop-up, select "R/W" for read/write permissions.

8) Paste the Android-appstore.apk in this directory and then select the .apk. At the bottom, there is an install button....select it.

This should install the amazon app store. Once done, you should be able to sign in with your Amazon ID and start downloading apps.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Peterluger:
ok, i read back another thread, i uncheck and re-check that "allow non market app" in color nook tools, and reboot, now i able to install those apk file

Thanks

p.s. i thought i did that b4 which didn't work, but it working now thanks for everyone!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnny15:
I'm not sure about that one. I have an SD card in mine and didn't have this issue. I wonder if by default the Amazon Appstore downloads to the the SD card and then installs the .apk from there. If you have a small SD card laying around, I'd try throwing it in and see what happens. Either that, or your SD card isn't mounted. Do you still have the Nook Color plugged into your computer? If so, (safely) remove it so your nook can mount the SD card.
