[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
To aid customer's who were converting from Features Phones (using Backup Assistant) to Android phones, VZW used to have a walk through when BA wasn't available on Android Phones.. It showed how to use VZW's backup assistant web site on your PC, export contacts to .CSV, and import the .CSV into your gmail account.

While that walk through has been changed with BA now being available for most/all android phones, the BA web site still allows you to export to CSV, and Gmail still allows you to import it.
[GT540 Optimus General] Quinny899:
I have de-compiled 2 FM Radio apps (Mur4ik's Swiftdroid Radio and The RDS ZTE Blade CM7 radio) and have got the classes.dex through dex2jar and then through JD GUI to get the .java files from them to put into eclipse to get the missing files for it. I have all the other files in Eclipse, but it is missing some files for the layout, such as the Station Indicator (FreqIndicator.xml). I have FreqIndicator.java, and need to convert it to an xml, which is formatted correctly for Android.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You! :)
[GT540 Optimus General] Quinny899:
Anybody
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
In /res/drawable there is freq_indicator_seek.xml isn't that the one you looking for?

you need it to port it to another ROM?
[GT540 Optimus General] Quinny899:
No, that's already there, it needs the one that would display the frequency (96.9 for example). I have its Java (source) but I don't know what to do with it.
[GT540 Optimus General] Quinny899:
Google doesn't say anything. Is it even possible?
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
hi mate i think java classes are like .exe once compiled they can't be de-compiled to the source code
[GT540 Optimus General] joe.stone:
I tried your method for decompile the dex files , but the original source and the decompiled version was different .

The fmradio app source is downloadable from cm's github. You should ask mur4ik about did he changed something in the fmradio app source or he made modification's only in frameworks/base/core/jni/android_hardware_fm_bcm4325.cpp.

Also ask it about the zte.

If the app is untouched then the rds is activated in the framework and/or in the kernel.
[Nook Color Accessories] Pyrot1c:
After seeing the EEEPad Transformer and how it can use a mouse. I wonder if we would be able to use a mouse on our nooks? I currently am able to pair a keyboard but a mouse would definitely help solidify my nook as my laptop replacement.

so has anyone tried it?
[Nook Color Accessories] nickjo86:
until the nook has usb host i cant imagine replacing my laptop but i do have a bt mouse and will try it out when i get home. just wondering if i will need an app for this, like running a bt keyboard?
[Nook Color Accessories] thechrisventura:
I tried my Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse...It worked more like arrow keys. It would highlight options on my homescreen and I could click to select them, however there was no cursor. I am using CM7, and apparently a version of CM6 actually included mouse cursor support, but many felt the code was not very good. It was not included in CM7, but I have seen a few threads on the internets of people attempting to create a patch for mouse cursor support, but I have not seen anything that seemed functional as of late.

Let me know if you find anything! I really hope this comes soon!
[Nook Color Accessories] EnTg888:
I, too, tried a bluetooth mouse. From my understanding, it DOES work as expected BUT there is no cursor (you're basically moving around an invisible cursor).

BUT the cursor DOES show up in Opera! Very cool using it with a keyboard and mouse.
[Nook Color Accessories] ice_man01:
forgive my ignorance, but how does the nook connect with bt? I wasn't aware it had a bt chip?

Thank you!
[Nook Color Accessories] Pyrot1c:
thanks for the replies guys :) . I wonder if we can somehow get a cursor added to cm7 ? lol seeing as it definitely exists in honeycomb, at least on the transformer and apparently also in opera. Would be a pretty cool feature to have :)
[Nook Color Accessories] bobzdar:
No, the Nook does have a BT chip, it's just not enabled by default. Developers managed to get it working but the range is somewhat limited as the antenna built into the NC wasn't designed with BT in mind (it shares with the wifi).

The NC actually also has an FM radio chip but it is not hooked to antenna so even if enabled would get no reception. It's all built into the communication chip (has wifi, BT and FM radio), but only the wifi and BT are hooked to the antenna.
[Nook Color Accessories] ice_man01:
Hmm, interesting. Thanks!
[Nook Color Accessories] thechrisventura:
Just saw this on the CM7 Changelogs

"Fixed up mouse pointer with auto bluetooth on and scroll Change-Id: I6850236a3058475694793e40717f69683c50edd7"

Not too good at reading code, but this seems promising! I'll certainly be trying this after the next nightly is released!

Getting more awesome by the day. Gotta hand it to our devs, they are real badasses! :D
[Nook Color Accessories] thechrisventura:
So I tried my Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse with the latest nightly. The cursor indeed appeared, however it only seemed to work in the upper right quarter of the screen when in landscape. Anyone else have similar problems?
[Nook Color Accessories] EnTg888:
Try turning off Compatibility Mode in Spare Parts, then rebooting. Worked for me, but I was in portrait mode with a similar problem.
[Nook Color Accessories] thechrisventura:
I tried this and still got the same result I had earlier...hmm...I guess I'll try again. It look's like the mouse is limited to a phone-sized block on the screen, which would make sense that compatibility mode would be the issue, but for some reason it did not fix it for me. I'll keep trying.
[Nook Color Accessories] MadBrad11:
I am also having this problem with my Bluetooth mouse. It is the same for me if compatibility mode is on or off. Hopefully we get a fix for this soon!

EDIT - I fixed this problem by setting an LCD Density of 160 instead of the default 161. This unfortunately breaks the My Apps section of the Market, but everything else seems to work fine.
[Nook Color Accessories] bekyndnunwind:

[HTC Desire S] ila420:
Was running after SGSII since it was announced waited for WMC now waiting for its arrival in the market which i dont think is possible before Q3 2011.

I have Desire S and Xperia Neo in mind, Desire S is already in the market and Xperia Neo has been delayed till June-July, by comparing both phones it is really confusing which one to get, havent used any Android phone, Neo has better camera, video recording with flash light, better screen, Desire S has better speed because of memory but lacks HDMI.

"Games, Videos, Music, Camera, Battery, Durability", i want these in a phone, kindly suggest.

Note: Please dont name iPhone (i hate it).
[HTC Desire S] abo.saud:
I thinks Desire S have better UI and the Aluminum unibody is amazing

I found the camera in the desire s very good and the display is sharp and clear

The big things in my opinion are the sense UI and the unibody witch make the

device feel really solid.

to conclude

I didn't try the Neo but I will defiantly go with Desire S -I did-
[HTC Desire S] liljom:
if I would be about to change my phone, I would wait couple of days more to buy the HTC Sensation
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
well have you got anything to lose waiting an extra 2-3 months? just wait if you want the SGS 2.

you have nothing to lose. Unless have a budget and want a cheaper phone than the Desire S
[HTC Desire S] ila420:
How is HTC Incredible S ? better den Desire S ?
[HTC Desire S] chrisr27:
From my experience IS is superior..bigger screen and small variations, camera, capacitive buttons..

The HTC gingerbread experience is poor. Absolutely no difference in OS between 2.2 and 2.3. No speed changes.

The physical display changes HTC incorporated are nothing to do with 2.3 GB, they are Sense 2.1 changes,,,funny so many ppl waiting for GB updates on IS and other devices, if its an HTC device you wont even notice a change..apart from under the about phone settings!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crickyo:
tried using this app but doesnt work as its not compatible with the kernel would it be possible to get this to run on either of these roms as i cant find an alternative app that limits apps access to the internet

Many thanks for any replies
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ctalcant:
So I did a search on the market, and I found this app called ''Permissions''. It allows you to change specific permissions of an app without breaking the app or updating it through market.

I tested it on CM7, I disabled ''Flow''s permission to create network sockets (access internet), and the app ran fine but couldn't access the internet.

Only downside is you have to reboot your from within the Permissions app to apply the changes. You can make backups of permissions set and revert an app to default permissions.

And it's FREE! Anyways, hope it fits yoour needs.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] crickyo:
thanks ill test it out main thing i didnt want going online was googles location services i hadnt used the network assisted location services because of this i found another app while searching called location cache which deletes the cache and stops the file being created again

means i can now use the phone without having to accept googles opt in only service
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] trinculo:
may you post the apk?i can not find it in the market.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] driftmon:
I use Gtalk a lot and I've noticed that when I leave my phone on standby for more than a few min, my GTalk gets disconnected and then trys to re-connect. I know this happens quite a lot because I get e-mails every now and again from the conversation from the other person because GTalk is disconnected on my end. I'm mobile coverage(2G/3G/4G) whenever this happens and never on Wi-Fi. I'm thinking it's maybe associated with the data disconnects that people are talking about? I do see that in the cell standby, Time without a signal is greater than 0%, meaning it does drop it. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] meljobin:
yeah Im getting the same issues but i was getting the same problem on my G1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dismaljester:
I noticed this at work today. Kinda glad to know I'm not alone on this. I use talk to message my ol lady while I'm at work to save texts. I noticed every time I picked my phone up I had to reconnect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] driftmon:
I installed the app "No signal alert" and just sitting at my desk it's been dropping connections constantly as opposed to the N1 where when I changed my sim card to that, it hasn't dropped once in the same spot. Hoping there's a software update that can take care of this. I hope it's not hardware related, this is my 2nd unit already
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
I have the same poor connection problem. It really sucks compared to my previous phones and my brother's G2. I wanted to exchange it but it looks like it is happening to everyone..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dude_Virus:
has there been a fix for this because I never faced this issue but now I have started facing the issue.... this doesnt happen on the edge network but this happens on wifi and that too whenever the phone goes in a deep sleep mode. I can say that the wifi is active because when this happens i can browse and my other online stuff is happenning. the gtalk disconnects and cause of that I dont get emails too of gmail. it seems the google account services are the ones which disconnect on sleep

______________________________________________

Subtitles with TV-Out are not working (Gingerbread)

Description: When using TV-Out, subtitles are not displayed at the TV as expected. Worked in Froyo versions.

Originally discussed:http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/tv-out-in-v10-1-10.3154/

Fix/Workaround: Currently there seems to be none.

____________________________________________

This is not ROM releted bug. It doesn't work for me on any stock or custom Gingerbread rom, but works fine on FROYO.

Has anyone found a solution, or is there any indications that samsung is aware of this?:confused:

no problem for me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freewish:
Yes ,in any gingerbread Rom ,darky 10 ,110.1 ,base Romes , ... Ive installed the problem exists.

And the problem is when you play a video in hardware mode with any program ,subtitle and menus wont be shown on Tv screen while they are on phone's screen at the same time.

I hope some manager at least confirme this problem

Before I try porting a few quick questions. What happens if I flash I completely incompatibal kernel, can it still get into recovery mode?
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
If you flash a incompatible kernel, your phone will either: Boot into kernel and just reboot afterwards or get stuck at the LG screen. But Recovery, Fastboot and Download Mode will still work if it doesn't work out :) If your phone gets stuck at kernel or LG screen, just pop the battery out and go into recovery or w/e.

hey all, so I have my first brick. I thought I knew what to do.

This is what happpened.

1) was running inception 1.2

2) was flashing Continuum 4

3) in CWM I select the zip and go ahead.

4) CWM says:

E: failure at line XX: copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM: Installation aborted

[the "XX" is a number - was 21 for Inception, 11 for Cognition]

Alright ...

Tried this:

1) restore system

- completed successfully, did not boot

2) restore boot, system and data

- completed successfully, did not boot

3) flash different roms, including Inception 1.2

- fails the same way as above

When I try to boot up, I see the ATT and the Inception's Samsung screen - never get to a boot animation.

Help?
