[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoomFragger:
Cloud backups are not the only way. An application could also export settings to sdcard and be able restore them.

I think that Google should also draw some guidelines and even integrate them in the framework to ease the life of the developers and users.

Why not put something like:

/sdcard/backup/<packagename>.settings

When this file was present and no settings in the phone (new install/clean data) a dialog could popup asking if the user would want to import the settings.

Google should also allow to backup this files (basically the contents of each app data) from the settings menu. It could be on demand and/or scheduled.

Security risks aside, migrations would be easier.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
by all means you can report this issue to Google and make it a BUG or FEATURE REQUEST. then it'll be a matter of time before enough people STARTs it and flags it as a high priority item for Google to have it integrated
[Vibrant Accessories] wtf.now?:
is there any custom case-mate owners out there? I am asking because i order one and this is just poorly design or they send me the wrong casing some how....

My case those not fit very well on my vibrant. Also the camera holes, screen look button, and volume buttons are not aligned and are not fitted ether. The hole for the volume and lock buttons are huge and does not look right. Also the top does not cover around the headphone jack and usb port leaving it exposed and it looks like ****.

Can any body confirm yours is the same way? a pic of it maybe?

YIA!
[Vibrant Accessories] ayoti:
I just got mine today. The only thing that has put me off is the camera hole. It's not exactly center. The holes for the volume and power are purposely bigger to make them easier to press. As for the top were it doesnt cover the ports, the barely there case are like that, so it is as advertised.

I can show you pictures, but the only camera I'm not too lazy to use is my vibrants. So the pictures will be of the case off the phone.
[Vibrant Accessories] madguitarist63:
I own three. Same thing camera hole isn't centered but everything else is the same as a regular barely there. Minus the camera hole I love it picture quality is great.
[Vibrant Accessories] DaSmittyman:
I have the case mate tough case fits great camera is centered and everything. what case did you guys buy?
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
Same here, tough case fits flawless.
[Vibrant Accessories] ayoti:
I bought the casemate barely there case
[Vibrant Accessories] MINUS Stl:
I have the Barely There case and it fits great. No alignment issues whatsoever. I've had it for a couple months now.
[Vibrant Accessories] wtf.now?:
Correct me if I am wrong but the barely there case fits over the original back case right?

I order there custom vibrant case and I have to remove the back cover for it to fit... I think it suppose to be that way... but for 35 dollars and not to be align and fit well I think 35.00 dollars its a damn rip off. I open a support case with them and they are claiming that the case is fine and they need more proof so I am making them a stupid video.

Thank You for the response guys.
[Vibrant Accessories] MINUS Stl:
Right. The barely-there case fits over the battery cover.
[Vibrant Accessories] wtf.now?:
Ok thanks for the response.

Now I wonder if the custom cases should fit over the battery cover... Can anybody clarify this?

TIA!
[Vibrant Accessories] thegreatcity:
The custom case is just a customized barely-there case, so yes it fits over the battery cover.
[Vibrant Accessories] madguitarist63:
The barely there goes over the back cover you don't take anything off just pop it on.

Edit: sorry didn't see the response before

I was wondering if it would be possible to hide the clock on the status bar but keep it in extended view?

Or a step further remove the icons when the status bar is extended?

Like This:
[Android Themes] kleinmischa:
that would be quite cool imho
[Android Themes] jambamkin:
I had the same thought the other day. Someone brave could go mention in in the cyanogenmod forum.
[Android Themes] randomchars:
I finally submitted this to CM issue tracker http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3643. Could you guys please star this so that it would get more exposure?
[Android Themes] bezeek:
Starred this @ Google Code.

This lack of functionality is one of the few things left that irks me about my home and lock screens.
[Android Themes] jmotyka:
It is possible, ill look into it.
[Android Themes] Ov3rd0se:
What did you exactly change
[Android Themes] jambamkin:
Using miui and a date changing mod I have been able to accomplish just this feature.

As standard on miui it shows the date in the status bar but using an extended settings mod from the miuiandroid forums I changed the to display the time in the format h:mm, it's even centred on the statusbar.

[Android Themes] bezeek:
I have made the changes in my SystemUI.apk, but I am stuck at the resigning process.

If I push the APK without resigning, it refuses to run because of the invalid signature.

If I resign with the platform keys, I get certificate errors complaining about the manifest.

To modify the package, I used the latest APKTool from Google Code to decode and build the APK, and made my changes with a text editor.

To resign the package, I downloaded the platform keys from the Git repo, and used keytool-importkeypair.sh (Google) to create a keystore. I signed the APK with jarsigner, and pushed it to my phone.

Can someone help me figure out why the unsigned package won't execute, or how to properly resign the package instead?
[Android Themes] redbullcat:
Use APKManager to resign it, you can zip as a system apk or as a regular apk. System apk's do not need signing afaik. If the phone is connected and detectable using adb, it'll also install it for you :)

Another method is to use Root Explorer :)
[Android Themes] bezeek:
I tried some more with apktool, tried APKManager, (which is packaged with a horribly outdated version of apktool at this point,) and even tried MetaMorph. All of them had the same result. As a side-note, you're absolutely correct in saying that system APKs should not be signed, and thanks for the reminder.

A post at the CM forums suggests this might be a problem for others on CM7 as well, but I can't find anything that explains or supports this.

I also tried applying the Statusbar Pulldown Mod for MM, but it yields the same problems.

I'm going to give up on this one, but I'm pretty curious to see if anyone else gets this to work, (especially on gingerbread-evo-deck1.3b.)
[Android Themes] redbullcat:
As soon as the Sensation gets CM7, I'm trying this mod. So I'll report back on my findings :)
[Android Themes] bezeek:
@redbullcat - If you're comfortable with a little potential failure, you can give it a shot on any ROM that displays a status bar with a clock. Basically, within the status_bar.xml file, there will be an element that declares the clock, by some name. If you move this element to the bottom, so that it directly neighbors the date element, you should be all good. Just be careful where you make your incision, and as with any mod, don't even try if you won't be able to 'adb push' a backup of the APK in the event that something goes wrong.

I cracked my digitizer and am going to replace it but before I order the digitizer is it possible to replace the actual LCD with an AMOLED display? I'm assuming drivers and such would prevent this but just curious.

EDIT: Just realized which forum I posted this under. If a mod wants to move it to Q&A feel free. My bad.

I don't think the driver would be an issue, could be wrong about that though. the issue would be finding one that fits the evo.

Thought I'd just introduce myself briefly. I'm Mouse :)

I'm new to xda-devs, although not new to Droid & Linux development in general. I'll shove some more info in my profile sometime soon.

I'm currently working on a few projects for my Moto Defy. It's a bit of a PITA, but I'm getting there... More info on that to come :)

In the mean time, the main reason I'm here is because of xdaid's fantastic work on DebOnDroid. I'm going to be giving that a try this evening with a bit of luck. However, reading through I noticed he's having some issues with loopback mounting. I have a fix (came accross this myself when doing some stuff on my last phone, the Moto Dext), but the forums won't let me post because I'mn new here :mad:. Ah well, guess he'll have to wait till I have time to write another 9 posts (assuming, of course, I'd get banned for just 9 posting unhelpful dummy posts)

[Epic 4G General] utbriancl:
Well - thank you Samsung.

MLB.tv updated the AtBat2011 app today to include live streaming on Android devices. Woohoo, right?

Well, not so much. Because Samsung has delayed the official FroYo release for the Epic, the Evo is the only Sprint Device that is supported for live video streaming. Of course, I'm sure my ACS FrozenROM could handle the requirements, but because the Epic isn't officially supported the video option doesn't even show up.

I doubt there are any tricks to spoof device ID, but if anybody has any ideas, that would be great.

Otherwise, I just have one more reason not to buy another Samsung device again. Or, more properly, one more reason to be upset about the FroYo release (or lack thereof).

Here's the link to the app: https://market.android.com/details?...android.gameday.atbat2011.full&feature=banner
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
I feel your pain on this one. I got the update this morning and was psyched about it. But I was quickly let down when I notice my Epic wouldn't work!!
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
Thanks for this update. I almost bought it yesterday, then I saw that MLB partnered up with Apple for a free month trial for iPhone users. Hoping for the same Android deal, I see that it's wrought with problems still and not ready for primetime.
[Epic 4G General] tonyp23:
The Nexus S is supported, so is there a way to spoof the Epic as a Nexus S? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that one of the ROMs was using a modified market using a Nexus S identifier. Could the same approach be used here?

If you can afford it, get Slingbox. They run from $150 to $250... The Solo (the lesser priced one- beware) has some issue with capacitors.. Anything that you can get on your TV can easily be forwarded to your device. I have an Epic, as well. Slingbox forwards me my MLB account (from Roku)... I also get Netflix, Hulu Plus, and lots of other stuff.. music YouTube, International News, etc. If I have a net connection, I can watch and listen to anything on my TV or Roku

To afford all this, I cut my Uverse account back to basic at $19 a month plus box rental. I was spending $90 a month prior to hooking up Roku and Slingbox. One time investment only for Slingbox and Roku. You will have to fork out the $29 for the Slingbox Mobile for Android app to accomplish this. It includes clever remote control codes to manipulate your TV and other hardware at home.

MLB looks fabulous on Roku this year. Last year, it was problematic. This year, great.

You'll be watching the World Series and all the playoff games without forking out any more money. It's a great way to go. Im saving a lot of money. I use it off and on when work is slow.. watch a couple innings, etc.. When we travel, I use it.. .I also use the Sling software on my laptop.

So I went ahead and installed CM7 Alpha 1 to see if that works, but no such luck. When I go to my account on the market (web version) it shows the phone as a Samsung SPH-D700 under Model. When I'm on another ROM it shows up as just SPH-D700 and the manufacturer is the same in both cases (Samsung)
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Could someone please drop MLB Android support a email and ask them why our phone isn't supported?

[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Awesome! I assume that's after you pay for mlb.tv subscription?
[Epic 4G General] justinhil:
I paid for a one month to see how it worked. It didn't until today. Streaming over 4g looks pretty good. Some of the stats at the bottom of the screen are a bit fuzzy and once in awhile the picture pauses. Over all I'm surprised how well it works.
[Epic 4G General] tonyp23:
Whoo hoo! Just after I emailed them to ask when they would get it working. I was thinking it would take an upgrade to the app, but guess not. Looks good on WiFi, didn't check 4G yet.

Good stuff man. Problem I'm having is, what happen to the free month with the purchase of the app?

When I read that email, it looked like that offer was for the iPhone and iPad only. I never saw one that said Android would get the free month too, but I would LOVE to be wrong.

Not sure if possible, or this may be simple... but I have psx4droid on my Epic which i bought months ago. It has been removed by Google from the market. I just got a wifi xoom 2 days ago and since it doesn't show up under "My Apps", i can't get it on my Xoom, which i really want.

Is there a way i can somehow copy it from my Epic? Is there another place to get it?

For the people who want to know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE​

I-Spy​

3 Months of collarorative work between Madnish30 and myself, we've deceid to make our work public. Early tests made us realise this should be tested more thoroughly with our XDA members, so here we are.

What is it?

Well, let's say you've always wanted to know what kinky pics that hot chick in your biology class has got on her i-Phone. Now you can! With I-Spy, your Android device picks up the radiowaves from other devices nearby (approx. 15 feet) to access the users' device storage, or simply listen into their phonecall!

How does it work?

It's actually very hard to explain, but it comes down to this: I-Spy picks up the radiosignal and decrypts the GSM access codes to get access to the datastream. Then it cloakes itself to blend into the datastream and simply monitor all communication between the devices.

So can I see/hear the complete communication between two people?

No. It's limited to the device in the near vincinity. However, we're working on getting a reversed datastream decryption, so we can get the other device too.

Where can I get it?

It's being developed for Android and Windows Mobile/Phone 7. IOS will be added later. Expect a public beta in the next few days.

Download (Android ONLY)

Download the attached APK.

Do read instructions in post 2 before you run it.

We have only tested it on Gingerbread, so it should work great on that ( and other versions of android too ).

How To Install :

1) Downlaod the attached file. ( according to your OS )

2) Just copy and paste it into your device.

3) Reboot device.

4) Click on the i-spy application in the application menu.

How to make it work:

1) Go near the victim ( victim must have his cellphone with it's radio on).

2) Turn the application on.

3) Enter the victim's cellphone number.

4) Wait till the application decrypts the signals.

5) Look at the data you want, classified under the given menus.

[General Topics] madnish30:
Thanks, man ! ;)

Yes, good question. Actually a small tweak in the broadcast of radio signals from devices can sort this issue out, ( Only if network operators knew about this ). They just need to block certain type of decryption.

And yeah, please use it well. Please, don't use it to spy on other people, only for fun purposes !
