Good call!!! off to get some ac adapters now :P
[Xoom Accessories] EwanG:
Does anyone have the dimensions of the tip? Trying to order the right tip for my Tekkeon Battery, and they need the dimensions to send the correct one.

THANKS!
[Xoom Accessories] tyj82:
i believe it is 2mm tip but dont blame me if it is wrong.

I am looking at building this 5V(USB) step up to 12v(Xoom) regulator.

Based on my calculation. ipad charge 1.5A @5V = 0.625A @12V assuming 80% effectiveness will be 0.80 * 0.625A = 0.5A = 500ma

Now the question is will xoom charge at 500ma. Anyone have the equipment to test this ?

I ask this because IPad will not charge at 500ma @ 5v
[Xoom Accessories] kcrudup:
FWIW, when I tried using a cheap 110V-12V lighter socket that didn't put out a full amp (at least) with the cig-lighter adapter it wouldn't charge; I suspect the current needs of the Xoom are fairly large (1A/12W at least).
[Xoom Accessories] EwanG:
Have played with a couple tips thanks to the nice folks at Tekkeon, and we finally found one that fit. Charging isn't a problem since the MP3750 is designed for laptops, and so plenty of juice and capacity for a Xoom. It appears to allow for one full recharge of the Xoom, which means that you can go nearly a day on the regular battery, and this lets you do more stuff during that day, and get you well into the next.

FWIW,

Ewan
[Xoom Accessories] tyj82:
Does your lighter show any max output power ? I think usually only 250ma@12v
[Xoom Accessories] frigorific:
That's what would do too. I use this one for US electronics:

Would be nice if it would be possible to use portable battery packs though. Good luck with a solution for that :)

[Xoom Accessories] Greenblob:
No voltage conversion is needed, so something like this for £1.37 will work absolutely fine - no damage to the device.

[Xoom Accessories] rich_l:
Actually that's 1800mA. 12V refers to how hard the electricity is being pushed (I used to teach "electricity for idgits"). A USB port, even on a hotsy totsy I pad gadget only puts out 5V which is less than the 12V that is needed to charge a xoom.

Short version - ya can't charge a xoom off a USB even if can get the tip in. By the way, if you can't get the tip in, use a bigger hammer:D

Has anyone come across a method of removing the clock on the CM7 RC2 Lockscreen? I have wp clock installed and would like to use that, I came across a fix which only removed "half" of the clock. The method involved changing the clock font file, numbers in the clock was made transparent, but everything else is still there! I've provided a screenshot as a visual aid. Thanks in advance for anyone who can point me in the right direction of removing the rest of the clock.

Widget Locker will give you an option to remove the notification bar. That is what i use.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordonzhao:
I'm sorry, I was unclear. I mean in the like top half of the screen, do you see the white "AM" and "Tuesday, March 22." Not the clock in the notification area. The reason why I want to keep the stock CM7 lockscreen is because of the gestures if you're wondering.

With the "fix" I was able to remove the time itself, but just the numbers, not the remaining text.

Hey guys, I need my HTC flipclock back! I installed a clock theme on myn's RLS5 and everything was fine. However I grew tired of it and tried to reinstall the htc clock by copying a new HtcClockWidget.apk to my system/app. Now no clocks show up in my widget list :( what should I do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fqccav:
Re-flash the rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
Or -- restore a nandroid from when your clock was working.

For some weird reason or another, this seems to be the rule: When flashing a clock widget, you MUST have a clock widget active on your phone. If you don't, the clock disappears -- just like you reported.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You've probably already solved this, but what you should've done is removed the existing one, then put the new one there. Set permissions to rw-r--r-- then reboot. Assuming nothing else was changed by the flash, only that apk, you should be fine. If not, wipe cache & dalvik, then reflash the ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] roofiox:
Hi All!

Let's say I would like ( or rather I'm forced to ) build a customized Android ROM. Among all related things that are well described there is a one "black hole" to me..

I need to replace Android Market with a custom market application and block unknown sources setting ( to always disabled ). Root access must also be disabled.

For me it seems that not having root access along with Unknown Sources disabled excludes writing a custom market application, because as far as i know custom market app will need to invoke Package Installer.

Did anyone came across such problem ?

For now i only need to estimate the complexity of this task so i would appreciate ANY clues on this one..

regards
[General Questions and Answers] cris2258:
Also interested in the solution, have a similar problem.
[General Questions and Answers] jihaa:
First, you should leave Unknown sources always on enabled. If you're worried that you might suck in a malware app, install an antivirus.

Second, I installed several custom ROMs so far, and the only problem I noticed with market is that it does not show the phone model (GT-i5800) anymore, but just "phone". Other than that, apps install fine, payed apps can be purchased and this is the stock Vending.apk, not modded.

Third, don't even consider not rooting your phone if you make a custom ROM (even this sentence is a contradicition...), coz if you don't have root, you can't dump the factoryfs.rfs, making it impossible to create a Custom ROM in layman's terms...

Got any questions, just ask!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironlood:
I have noticed that android apps are horrible with file management. When you install an app on the phone it installs a whole new file hierarchy.

Example... when you install Meme Generator it creates a memegenerator folder within that folder it caches Favorites, Instances, Generators, and shares

when you delete the app it doesn't remove this folder or any of its contents​

My idea is an app that would scan folders and mark if the folder is useless or not. Especially the unknown data folders that say something like com.fatsecret.android and have nothing but random .dat files or a .nomedia folder/file. Almost like a registry checker for a PC.

Another idea is to have an app that scans the SD card and locates all media. It would tell you how many of what type of file you have on your phone, and allow you to mass move to selected folders (Not copy or transfer but actually move th file to its new location)

im no programer but these would be great apps if they were to be developed

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark3n:
The question would be how to determine useless folders.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironlood:
My initial idea was to use a system similar to a windows registry. Once the app starts for the first time it will create a database that stores folder data, which then it tries to match to an app that installed it. If the folder shows that the app that created it has been deleted it shows a red folder or has a negative mark next to it, if its still installed it shows a positive or green folder. This way you can get rid of the bad folders.

My second idea was to have an app create a drop folder for certain file types. For instance a folder like MY DOCUMENTS that has the folders MUSIC, PICTURES, AND VIDEOS. When the app starts it has you select a folder to drop a specific file type (example .MP3 files into MY DOCUMENTS/MUSIC). The all then media scans the phone and locate all matching file types and MOVES the file not COPYS.

Smells like WINNING from my T-959 xda premium app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coreyja:
Something kinda similar to what you want was introduced in FroYo. It gives each app a directory (on the	SD card I don't know about onboard memory) that is automatically deleted by the system when the app is installed. Currently it has a few fairly big bugs but hopefully they will get fixed and developers will start to use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironlood:
That sounds liie it will be excellent once its implemented. I'm sure as most new things take time to catch on this will probably take a little while for it to happen. Maybe Google is going to make it mandatory for devs to do this.

Smells like WINNING from my T-959 xda premium app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djay1809:
It wouldn't necessarily have to be an app but some process that would make create or add to (create a sub-directory) default folders. I'm not saying it has to be a window like system but as simple as it gets Music, Images, Documents, Downloads maybe a spare folder for necessary background files (Hidden) But accessible when needed. The biggest problem here is that I don't think too many people that want this solution are programmers. because if you know how to program then you spend all day sorting throu this stuff anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark3n:
Well i'm on 2.2.1 and the system still keeps the settings folders in /dbdata/databases/*packagename* after you uninstalled it.

I usually resort to deleting the folders in adb shell when programming and testing apps.

So it seems there is need for this and there is no such tool yet?

I might start on it then, do you think there is enough intrest in something like that?

Help me with the most difficult and important step, invent a name for such an app :D!

This is the best looking battery mod I've seen, great work. I tried flashing a couple times on cm7 rc2 and couldn't get it to work.

I was able to get it visible by going in status tweaks and disable the show battery percentage, but every time i just got a blue box that said "edit text low on space". i could constantly close the box and they would pop right back up. it was also blue instead of green like in your screenshot, but it still looks good. if you made a cm7 rc2 compatible version, i'd definitely use it

I feel defeated lol. I tried the rc2 mod 3 times and got the battery indicator to show up, but when I unlocked the screen, all I got was a lot of force close notices with no home screen loading up.

I decided to try the nightly #31 and just got a boot loop each time I flashed it. Then I decided to try flashing each version battery mod(including the 2 circle battery mod) to each nandroid backup I had and just got boot loops. I even started wiping the dalvik multiple times before the flash to see if it helped

I must have something causing a conflict,but I doubt I can narrow it down. When I did get the icon to show up, it didn't change my lockscreen this time. I appreciate the time you spent working on this, and I will follow your threads to keep up with your work

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rebel29535:
You inspired me to give it another go haha. First, I upgraded to RC3 last night so I used that version of your icon this time. I got the same fc's my the first flash. I changed my lockscreen settings to default and made a new nandroid backup. My lock screen has been fine every time i flash now. I flashed the gapps from the cyanogen wiki, checked that they worked, then flashed the icon mod and got the fc's again. I flashed the gapps from the destroyer v2 thread, checked that they worked, then flashed the icon mod and got fc's. Every time I flash with the RC3, I get the new battery icon though

The only other mod I have flashed is the savaged zen kernel, but i used the default cm kernal while trying the rc2 version and got the same fc's so i ruled that out. Some of the fc's (that I can remember) i got were: google framework, bluetooth services, adw launcher, email, error reporter. I got excited when I saw problems with gapps, but flashing the new gapps didn't fix it

Something tells me that a complete wipe might fix my problems, but I hate restoring everything lol

p.s.-i wipe dalvik every flash also, just to rule that out too
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] trollallot:
What is actually force closing? I ran rc2 without one fc all day yesterday. And rc3 about an hour.

If you have titanium backup do a backup of your apps. Then do a clean install of rom. Reboot and then flash gapps. Reboot and flash mod. Then restore your apps with titanium backup one at a time. When you get an fc thats your culprit. Restore your backup and remove it. Other then that not to sure what to tell you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] trollallot:
If anybody else has used rc2 and rc3 mod and experienced problems please post. Or if you have used it no problems please post also. I'm trying to find out if its my mod causing force closes on a previous poster or if its something on his end. Thankyou in advance.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rebel29535:
Success!! It worked the first time after I completely wiped everything. I wish I could have figured what exactly caused the problem in case someone else was having the same problem, but I would suggest just backing up everything and do a fresh install.

The only problem I had after reinstalling CM7 was with my voice mail app, but a restore app+data fixed it. That would most likely be something with CM7 because I quickly found an answer for that

[Milestone XT720 General] diggmc:
Hi Folks,

I have a couple of questions about Dexter's 1.3 (AWESOME) 2.2.1 updates.

The first is, I followed Reverendkjr's fantastic video's to update my Wind XT702 and everything appears to work, however when I'm trying to use the button's at the bottom of the phone (menu, home, rewind search) there is a significant delay before they are recognized or I have to press the key several times before the phone takes the appropriate action. Due to my frustration at the sluggishness of the phone, I reflashed back to the UK 2.1 rom. Needless to say the sluggishness disappeared.

Now I'm wondering if it's because I used the Milestone app to overclock to 1Ghz and it's interfering with Dexter update. Or could it be because I currently have a class 4 16GB micro sdhc card installed.

The other question is about an app called Network Switcher (found in the Android Market Place). I'd love for someone who is currently using Dexter's 1.3 to test this application. Specifically it allows the turning on/off of the internal radio's to save battery life based on user defined events. For example if the screen is off, turn off wifi or turn on 3G for 5 minutes every hour. Currently the app seems to have problems recognizing if the screen is on or off, and I'm wondering if the problem persists with Dexter's 1.3 update.

I apologize if this is not the appropriate forum to ask these questions but since I'm still a new user, I can't post in the developers forum.

Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

G
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i suppose you are on a Wind XT720 right? not a XT702 ???

after you flash to Dexter 1.3 you have to select the option to Wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik

after it restarts let it sit for a bit as mentioned in the video, it needs to load up all the stuff before it gets settled

you can boot up the phone without the microSD if you believe that might be causing the problem

once you have tested the phone and it works fine, then you can insert the microSD and start customizing the phone.

there should be no major lag, Froyo 2.2 works wayyyyy faster and smoother than the original 2.1 ROM it came with even on stock 720 Mhz speed

after i upgraded to Dexter 1.3, i've had no need to 1000Mhz OC the phone anymore
[Milestone XT720 General] diggmc:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is the Wind XT720. I know for sure I wiped the phone data, but it is entirely possible that I didn't wipe the cache/dalvik. I've got a 32GB Class 10 card coming from Amazon in a week or two, so I'll give it another shot when that shows up.

G.

P.S. I just re-watched reverendjk's video and I noticed on the openrecovery menu there are options to wipe the cache and dalvik, however the video does not mention choosing those options. Since I followed the video to the letter, I can confirm that I did *not* wipe the cache/dalvik. I'm going to try re-flashing again but choose those options (as well as wiping the data as shown in the video).
