Is anyone else having this. In nova 2 the left trackpad work brilliantly for the move and strafe but with the right one it doesnt keep turning for the aim it just moves like a laptop trackpad and i have to keep swiping the pad to get it to move. also in star battalion it very spazmodic on if it work or not, sometimes it will turn the ship in all directions sometimes it will forget how to turn uphill etc etc. just wondering if this is game implimentation issues or if i have a faulty handset.
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
yh for me too in start battalion its pretty horrible and sometimes the sensitivity seems just plain random. however playing spiderman HD, Asphalt or Gun Bros the track pads work flawlessly!

im guessing it comes down to how the devs code the apps to use the trackpads.
[Xperia Play General] NeoTechni:
Im having the same issues with star battalion.

Its odd that devs are having trouble getting used to real controls again.

Optimizing for touch screens must have been a huge step backwards for them as well as the gamers who used it
[Xperia Play General] tonymontana079:
do you get this problem with crash bandicoot too? i noticed i had that problem with nova and another gameloft game dont think ill buy another fps from them anytime soon try a different game.

Basically had my phone switched over to boost. Not trying to hear the goodies telling me what's illegal and not, don't need that. The phone was NAND-Unlocked and rooted before it was flashed. They put the stock rom back on the phone and Boost was the new carrier. I flashed Cyanogenmod 7's ROM and a few settings went back to Sprint. The phone still connects to boost but in the settings it says I'm on Sprint network and also on my lock screen and drop down status bar it shows Sprint. What could have happened?
[EVO 4G General] bpc4209:
i thought Boost does run on the sprint network. Right??
[EVO 4G General] quickbird144:
To my understanding their towers are used. But there are different settings of course. Among a few other things.
[EVO 4G General] quickbird144:
Nevermind! Apparently ASOP ROMS aren't Boost Friendly. Installed Froyo 4.61 and all is back to normal.
[EVO 4G General] alexisprz:
Do you mind sharing how you got it on boost?
[EVO 4G General] quickbird144:
I honestly have no idea. I took it to some guys locally that do it and left it with them, come back and it's on boost. I've done some research however and it does involve a Boost CDMA 3G phone and a few programs like CDMA Workshop and QPST and Hex.

I will say however, if there is someone ALREADY on BOOST and have a Boost branded phone, use it to clone over to their not boost phone, I see no problem with. It's personal use. They aren't selling it. But these guys doing it I noticed buy CDMA phones by the bulk, and clone the ESN's. This is just from observation. No need to flame people that have it done cause 99% of them don't know. They just see ads that say they can flash their phones and their hot tail all over it.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
In CM7 you can change the carrier name by editing /data/eri.xml

Look for EriText="Sprint". Couldn't be easier.

hello ppl with lil bro-phone :)

i'm just curious if there is a hw led near speaker and/or between main buttons.

if yes, are they lighting when the phone is on charger? could it be annoying and/or bug you while browsing at night?

I've got a script for X10 to swith them off and I want to share it with you, too :)

my request is - if the answers of Qs above are yes - to enter these into a terminal emulator or adb as su and post results here, thanks

[Thunderbolt General] Cmotion:
If I use one of the alternate launchers available (LP, ADW, etc), and decide to go back to Sense, will my current setup be saved or will I have to redo it again?
[Thunderbolt General] skinien:
You're current setup will remain the same. For example, if you setup folders/widgets in the Sense launcher, then install LauncherPro and setup widgets/folders in LauncherPro. Both settings will be saved. They're actually switchable - you can use Sense and switch to LauncherPro, and switch back to Sense.

When you install another launcher and press the "Home" key, a popup will ask which app you want to perform this action with, Sense or <other_launcher>. This popup will appear every time you hit the "Home" key while you're on the home screen until you check the "remember" box.
[Thunderbolt General] royolpunk:
That's one of the best explanations I've ever seen
[Thunderbolt General] FreemanB:
Good info. Can you use the Sense widgets with Launcher Pro? I used Launcher Pro on my old phone, and I'm still debating switching to it for the TBolt. While I like some of the features of Launcher Pro better, I'm also fond of some of the HTC widgets.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
HTC widgets will not work with any alternate launcher, unfortunately.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
But with launcher pro plus you can get several sense like widgets.
[Thunderbolt General] trendsetter37:
what widgets are you wanting to keep...more than likely there is a better alternate somewhere in the market. That has been my experience anyways.
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
You can also back up your LPP settings as well... Not sure bout ADW.
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
I've been using Launcher Pro and never looked back
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher are both extremely similar and offer nearly identical functionality.

Launcher Pro has a leg up with the sense-like widgets... but I honestly do not use many of them. I also like the swipe-able dock in LPP.

ADW is a solid launcher as well and I enjoy some of the features of ADW (different gestures, UI stuff).

I recommend trying both and seeing what you like best. And always support the developers... get Launcher Pro Plus or ADW Launcher EX.
[Thunderbolt General] Memnoch73:
Just a note... I found the app HomeSmack makes it very easy to switch between Home apps. I found it a pain on the T-bolt unless you have just installed a new home app.

This lets you pick which one you want to switch to and you can switch temporarily or set it as the default.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
If you set it to remember an alternate launcher and want to change, how do you do it?

[Thunderbolt General] bawol:
I'm also a big fan of Home Switcher for Froyo. I'm not sure how it differs from Home Smack, but it's a seamless process to switch between two launchers. That being said, I'm pretty much always on Launcher Pro.
[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
Zeam Launcher is a nice simple Launcher with intuitive controls and it supports HTC widgets.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
I liked LauncherPro on my Droid X, but I never used it much because It slowed the phone down ever so slightly.

Does LP cause any noticeable performance decrease or noticeable extra battery usage on the TB?
[Thunderbolt General] weinbee:
Go Settings -> Applications and find the launcher you set as default, select the 'clear defaults' button and when you hit Home again it should prompt what launcher to use.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
I didn't notice any when I tried it last night.

-sent via 1.21 giggawatts of android.
[Thunderbolt General] DigitalDementia:
Your comments about Zeam appear to be flawed... in no way does Zeam support HTC's widgets. No home replacement application can use HTC's widgets. While I'll give it to you that Zeam is a simple nice launcher that is a false statement ;)
[Thunderbolt General] rotorocker:
I forgot to mention one of the main reasons i started using launcherpro was that it can hide all the icons in the app drawer. Priceless
[Thunderbolt General] FreemanB:
I've seen some of the alternatives already, although I particularly like the weather/clock combo widget with the weather animations. I'm mainly considering the cost/benefit of switching to another launcher, buying alternative widgets(Such as Beautiful Widgets), etc. I think I'll stick with Sense for now though, until I have a more compelling reason to change it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] crx4xharder:
Ok guys, I know its been done on 2.2 launcher2 and rosie but id like to have this mod on the stock 2.3 launcher. I have been playing around with the .xmls but everytime I change something the launcher just fcs. After decompiling Launcher2.apk, ive found the following:

/res/layout-port/workspace_screen.xml appears to point to "dimen/workspace_cell_width" and "dimen/workspace_cell_height". Seems pretty self explanatory but when you look at the last 2 values, you see short axis and long axis as "4". So ive tried changed these values with no luck.

In /res/values-port/dimens.xml, we have "workspace_cell_width 80dip" and workspace_cell_height 100dip".

Ive tried changing the values in workspace_screen.xml to "5" and values-port/dimens.xml values to "64dip" and "80dip". Launcher fcs, as well as changing them singularly. All 3 variations fc. So I'm out of ideas... If anyone experienced with .xml editing could take a look at this it would be great. As well as feedback from the community to better convince someone to take a look at it. This is the first time I've ever even attempted to look at .xmls... So a little out of my league ;-P Thank you everyone for making an amazing mobile os into something beyond the stars!

I have rooted my inspire with bubbys one click and have not installed any customs roms yet. But twice my phone has stopped recieving calls or texts. (I could send them, but could not recieve) Once was because i updated rom manager, but when I un-updated it my phone worked fine. The other time it just happened out of the blue, and i had to shut off, and then restart my phone to get it working again. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Or on how to fix it?

Can u use ps3 controller to play snes roms on the atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
Unfortunately not at this time. Bluetooth for the PS3 controller is apparently a bit of a *****. There is a port for WinMo as far as I know, but nothing for Android.

This would be absolutely amazing however. I wish that a talented dev would pick this up.

[Nook Color General] har02052:
The google voice app for the ipod touch natively detects that the device is not a phone and so you can't directly make call with it. Instead you can dial a number and the app will then initiate a call to the phone number that you have linked to the account and then call the number that you dialed in google voice. I need to make my nook color do the same thing. It doesn't work that way though. Instead it gives you an error and it force closes. I am using phiremod 5.3. Any help is appreciated

[Nook Color General] phamurai:
can you text using GV on the nook color?
[Nook Color General] diomark:
You can text with it, yes.

-m
[Nook Color General] har02052:
I do text with it using Google voice. I use my google voice number as my business number. I text people all day using my nook. It works pretty well (I actually wish that I could use handcent to text while still using my GV number, but that is another issue entirely). Occasionally though, I would like to call some of the people that I am texting. So I either have to call them with my normal cell phone and just type in their number, but this way they get my cell number on their Caller ID and so they don't know that I am calling them, or I have to do the whole process of dialing my GV number and going through the prompts to enter in the number I want to call.

All I want to do is click on a number in Google Voice and have it call my cell phone and connect through google voice automatically. Right now my only option is to use the web-based interface to do this. Even though this is exactly what the ipod touch google voice app does. (I totally know that the ipod touch OS and android are obviously way different things, I am just saying). I would think that there would be a way to work around this. If not, google should make it so that there is the option of having GV call my cell number to initiate the call.
[Nook Color General] ndinfla:
Being relativley new to the NC . How would one use this for a call. Is there a way to get voice into the unit? I am interseted if it can work but everything i have read so far does not show voice capability.

Any feed back would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] iolinux333:
if you ever use google voice a lot you will understand the question. no you can't talk through the nook using google voice. to do that requires a "full" voip like Skype. he wants to use the nook as a fancy dialer.

[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Got a great program going..things have been going smoothly.

onFling implemented to slide screens back and forth, onLongPress has some functionality. Menus operations fine, calls to view images work great.

Life is good.

Then we find a need to go longer on some screens in portrait mode. No problemo, toss in a ScrollView in the xml and we're good to go....NOT.

Seems ScrollView has it's on little onTouch implementation and "eats" all of my gesture events so my onFling and onLongPress do not work.

Life is not good.

Spent the better part of today Googling for this and read at least 100 articles and just can't find a resolution that fits.

Any hints or pointers appreciated. :)

tia,

Roots

<edit> Alternatively, a hint or pointer on how I can get rid of the xml ScrollView and just use my overrided onTouch methods to simulate a vertical scroll or swipe. I can handle the gesture movements, just not sure what or how to "redraw" the lower portion of the screen.

</edit>
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Fixed. To save future searchers any grief on this, I found the code snippet. Hell, I probably passed over it 5 times in my searches! LOL

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev){

// Let ScrollView handle it
super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);

// Otherwise, I'll handle it
return myGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);
}

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
Apologies in advance if I am posting in the wrong section.

I've been talking to some people over on the CM forums about this and we haven't found an answer yet.

If you look in my screenshot, right below the alarm, my name is on my lockscreen. This was put here using an old setting on CyanogenMod 6.1.2 on my HTC Evo 4g. You did this on CM6 by going to Settings > Location & Security. Then there was a checkbox to "Show Custom Message". You then put in text!

Does anyone know which file stores this value on CM7/Android 2.3? I've pulled the eri.xml file from my phone and I can edit my carrier text but I have not been able to find my name. I like being able to edit that text and I wanted to update it to something new but the settings no longer exist under CM7. Thanks for looking!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jshaddix865:
re

Not the answer you are looking for here but wouldnt it be easier and less annoying and stressful to just flash back to the rom where you could change it, change it to what you want and then flash back ?

that is if i am understanding you correctly and your name shows up now of course with the new rom...

i would think if you changed your name to whatever you wanted then you could go back to the new rom and it would appear the way you want it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
I'm going to give that a try tomorrow. Not sure if it sticks through an upgrade or not but worth a try. Im just curious at this point what confit file it is. Wish there was a filemon or similar tool for Android. Although, if can dump all the files off the phone before and after I should be able to do comparisons....hrm. Project for tomorrow.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
OK, finally took the time to work on this a little further.

I reflashed CM6, booted and confirmed there was no lockscreen text. Took a nandroid and copied off the system.img

I then put a lockscreen text in - used a custom phrase that would not be in any of the config files normally. Rebooted, took a nandroid and copied off this system.img.

Extracted both system.img files using unyaffs.

I did a binary and CRC comparison off all the files, no differences. So apparently this setting is stored somewhere else. Hrm......
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
AHA. Found the little bugger finally.

Had to pull the data.img and extract that. The setting is located in

/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

lock_screen_custom_msgTESTTEXT

lock_screen_show_custome_msg1

These are the two options that I found. So, now to see if I can safely edit that DB file and modify the text on CM7. I already have the text on my screen so the data fields are in the DB file already so I suspect I can just edit that file and then replace it on my phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
Hm. Editing is no good. Blew away all my settings and I not longer can enable any lockscreen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
Hah. Got it! Using ADB works. Instructions:

adb shell

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

.tables (you should see a secure table listed)

.header on

.mode column

select * from secure;

Now scroll through the results. Find the "lock_screen_custom_m" item under name. Note the ID number to the left. Write the ID number down.

update secure set value='your custom message here' where _ID=NN;

NN is the ID number you wrote down.

.quit

Reboot your phone.

There you go, just in case anyone else is interested.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aph:
Nice find!

I used a derivative of your method to reset the alarm notification on the GB lockscreen when the buggy POS alarm app G-Alarm left it there after removing all the alarms and uninstalling it.

That one is in system instead of secure, and it can be set to a blank string per http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html#NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED to clear it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
Neat! Glad it could help someone out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aph:
Yup, much appreciated! Also great to learn how to edit databases on Android.

Also, I didn't have a USB cable so I did it with the terminal editor. For convenience (i.e. having a real keyboard) I used Webkey for PC access to my phone and its built-in terminal editor to make the changes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jdostal:
That sounds painful!
