thing about the radios

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well since you just rooted, you should have all the latest radios so no worries. You're good to flash the rom away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:
the reason why i ask is because my pri says 1.34_003 and supposibly the latest is 1.90_003 and wimax i dont know how to check it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yea, if your pri is that old, you should update your radios. You want to find the combo package by calkulin, and flash it in recovery. Or just download the radio and pri, and flash them individually. I usually leave my wimax and NV alone. All of the radios packaged by Calkulin are flashable in recovery. Just never pull the battery during a radio flash. The ruu should've updated your radios and pri though. What radio/baseband are you on?

Edit : fwiw, the 1.77 pri works better on my phone. The 1.90 causes a wake lock for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah, well donwload the combo link at the top. Place on the root of your sdcard.

Boot into recovery, then wipe the cache and dalvik cache [located under advanced] the click install zip, choose zip, and select that zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalexorellana:

i downloaded this EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.9 0.003 by calkulin

do i have to do anything special to this file like rename it??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Nope just follow my instructions in the previous post.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Nope, just put it on your SD card, then boot to recovery, and then flash. I'd wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

Also, based on the info you posted, it looks like the only thing that isn't up to date is your pri. You could probably just update your pri, and be fine

can someone help port android on my sony dash

As for the Sony Dash tech specs, it's got the 7-inch touchscreen with gesture support and a WVGA 800x480 resolution. The Wi-Fi is 802.11b/g and it includes a 500mhz processor. And accelerometer.

this is able to support android hardware wise. ive seen android phones with 500mz processor running 2.1
[Paranoid Android Q&A] gierso:
Hope this gets done :)
[Paranoid Android Q&A] GnatGoSplat:
I just recently got a Sony Dash. It's nice looking with a nice screen and I like the capacitive touch, but other than that, I'm not too impressed. I don't like any of the available themes, and it is very slow and sluggish. I don't like how it doesn't have any kind of storage and has to re-download anytime the theme or channel apps are changed.

Basically, I think this thing would be a ton better with Android on it. Android widgets are a ton better than the Chumby apps and I would prefer having a "home" screen where I can place them anywhere I want rather than being locked into the half dozen available themes. I hope somebody takes on this project.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] tdaly001:
Count me in

I was looking at a Dash on Sellout.woot for $79, for my 6 y.o. daughters room. I would buy several these if someone ported android to it. This has all the makings of an incredible clock radio with android. The stock OS does seem to suck. For the development community, i think this has the same potential as the gTab. A fine piece of hardware with a crappy OS, but this would add a new category. As a nerd, (I am a chemist, unfortunately not a an android wonk), I find this to be a great opportunity.

To give a commercial value to this, I would buy the ported software for ~$20. While $20 from one guy is not interesting, perhaps this is something that could be sold and really up the value of the Dash. If 20% of Dash buyers bought the android port, it could be worthwhile as a business. God knows sony dumped a load into it.

I hate to bump such an old topic, but it seems like there hasn't been any development here at all. I wanted to chime in with some of my findings.

Kit Wood at hackadashery.blogspot[dot]com (sorry, can't post links, new member!) has made some discoveries.

Also, using netcat, its apparent that the Dash is pretty closed down. Port 22 is a no-go, while 53, 139, 445, 548, appear to be open.

Attached is the control panel swf, as well as all the assets I was able to pull from the swf file. Nothing too exciting, it seems. If anyone knows anything about swfs, take a look.

This thing is truly a bizarre device.

When the Chumby servers were taken down someone was able to rig an Offline Firmware that runs from a USB stick for Chumby 8's and Insignias. Apparently memory is an issue for the Dash but it also has a USB port.. Admittedly I know NOTHING about coding but it would be nice to see something like this done for the Sony Dash, and preferably with Android OS.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] ahighone:
Sorry to bump this but I wanted to let the other Sony Dash owners know what I'm going to do to replace my Dash.

1. buy an older tablet... like say a Barnes & Noble Nook color or anything esle cheap that's supported here @ XDA with multiple ROMs.

2. buy a cheap stand for tablets & possibly a cover/protector for it if you're like me and spill water and/or have pets that will knock it down.

3. setup Android the way you would if it was a dash. ( there are TONS of homescreen apps and great alarm clock options out there. )

4. i'm also going to figure out a way to weight the base of the stand, if it's not already, so it's hard to knock over/move.

This is my plan for replacing my Dash... and I think it's the best way to go.

Also... you'll have a tablet sitting around for reading or whatever and then set it on the stand and wallah... instant large-screen internet-enabled better-than-the-dash alarm clock.

Hope this inspires!
[Paranoid Android Q&A] jimt007:
My Dash worked up until a couple of days ago. Good idea about the android tablet/stand.

[Paranoid Android Q&A] GnatGoSplat:
My Dash quit working as well. Had to disconnect internet from it to get it to work as a clock. I used to have mine displaying time and outside temp. It was nice know what it was like outside at a glance.

I guess I can replace it with a 7" tablet on a stand. Although the Dash is a nice form factor. I wonder if a Raspberry Pi and LCD controller board can both fit inside the Dash housing.

Fix comes out 3/24. https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/72653/p/46543,46552,46553/c/65,66/kw/Control Panel

Oh, Zettaly Avy looks nice. Kind of pricey though, but I imagine it sounds much better. Searching Google Images, this clock looks pretty good. http://appcrawlr.com/android/dock-clock-plus-night-clock

Did manage to find some inexpensive controllers that could interface a Raspberry Pi to the Dash's LCD panel.

Oh, I hadn't heard about that. Very disappointing, I don't use my Dash for much, but I very much liked the daytime clock display with 5-day weather and night clock modes and I was happy just using it as a weather clock.

Hey guys I rely on Facebook for a lot of my contacts and it will randomly switch to don't sync and that means I have to go back put on sync and relink my contacts it's really irritating. Do you know how I can save the Facebook contacts without Facebook sync? Thanks guys!
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
If you're just looking to sync them to have their contact information in your phone then I do have a solution for that. Its a process, but once its done, its done (but is reversible).

You'll need a Yahoo email account to do this. Log into your Yahoo email account, go to your contacts page, and choose to Import. Select Facebook. This will import your facebook contacts to your Yahoo account. Ok, now from the contacts page in Yahoo, you want to select export. Create a yahoo CSV file and save it to your computer. Now log onto your Google account and go to the Dashboard and then to Contacts. Now import the CSV file you made for Yahoo and you'll have all your facebook contacts now in your gmail account which will then sync to your phone. Of course you'll have to add any new facebook contact you aquire after the process manually (of just repeat the process).

Its not the most automated solution, but it is a solution. Of course you wont be able to see updates and what not with this solution, but it will get your facebook contacts information into your phone.

I have searched all 4 forums using "standalone" "google gps" and "VZW gps" and get no results..

I am trying to understand which ones of these i should have checked when I am using the maps and/or navigation.. what is the difference? do i need all 3 checked?

i have tried a few combinations and aside from lock time, and minimal accuracy, they seem pretty much the same, except i cannot seem to get a lock from standalone by itself..

i also worry about how much juice all three of those services will suck from the phone.. in the search for the answer to my question, i did run across a thread that had several well known members here confirming that you can leave gps on and it wont drain battery unless you have an app running that needs it..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3os33k3r:

I would suggest a Google search if you want detailed info, but in short:

VZW = location based on cell towers (I believe this is only used by the Verizon Navigator software, but don't hold me to that)

GPS = location based on GPS satellites

Google = location based on mapped WiFi hot spots

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is a way to enable notifications (specifically those of the led) on the xoom while the screen is on. I know by default they only show up when it is not in use, but i dont know how many times i have missed a gtalk message or an important email because i was watching a movie and forgot to occasionally tap on the clock. There has to be an easier way than constantly checking my notifications to make sure i didnt miss anything. And one last thing, while we are on the topic of notifications; is there a way to do a "clear all" for the notifications?

Thanks,

Ryan
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitht:
No clear all notifications. Many complaints on that already.

I think the idea was that if the screen is on, you will already see the notifications appear in the lower right bar. But I would also like to see the LED light blink as well. But I kind of feel lucky with what it is because my Samsung Captivate does not even have a notification LED at all and from what I hear, neither does the new Asus Transformer tablet. I am not sure why LED notification lights are so low priority with these devices as I feel it is a must.
[General Questions and Answers] rogier666:
The stock launcher and GO Launcher squeeze the app names into one line on the home screens.

Alarm & Ti-, Ultimate S-, Wireless Te-, just about each and every app name gets truncated unless it's a very short name. This is really annoying for apps like Google Sk-, Google Ma-, Google Tr-, ... . And if you have a few apps installed with names that start with "Ultimate" (there are hundreds of 'em) their names all look the same on your home screen.

Two lines is enough to display the full name of most apps. The stock launcher and GO use two lines in the app drawer, they just won't do it on the home screens.

Q: Is there a way to force these launchers to use two lines on the home screens too?

There's plenty of space for a second line of text on the home screens. Even with 5 rows of apps the icons are spaced far enough to allow a second line. There just needs to be a way to tell the launchers to use the excess blank space.

If the stock launcher and GO can't do it, then which launchers can?

I know ADW Ex displays the text on two lines - they kind of overlap, but it's completely legible. I would think the free version would too, but I'm not 100% because I haven't used it in forever.
