[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjackson:
ok, hopefully someone can help me. I recently flashed sbf and installed Kenneth's GreyBlur. Love it and it works great, except somewhere in the middle of that process i lost my "alarms and timer" app that was built in. Not sure if it was taken out because there is an alarm built into the "clock" but i do not really like that alarm because it wont let me select a different alarm thats not built into the phone. it almost gave me a heart attack this morning.

anyway, if there is a way to get this back or a zip or apk i can install that would be great.

(I would post this in the greyblur thread but i cant because i do not have enough posts)

thanks

thanks i appreciate the files. i downloaded them and extracted it to my sd card. tried to install the apk for the bluralarmclock and it goes through the installation and says "application not installed"

ive never really had anything fail like that before. am i installing it wrong?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjackson:
ok i tried installing that one and get the same message. just to make sure it wasnt happening for everything, i had some apk's on my sd card that i just installed fine, went back to the alarm and still wont install. went through the bloatware folder and tried to install random files and it wont do it either...

im new to android so of course im stumped on what to do next

thanks for your help btw. im wondering if its the greyblur?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
Well if your only complaint is that your missing the alarm clock maybe you will like one from the market just as much or more.? I use http://goo.gl/LTd3z, you can configure it to ask you math questions on alarm. The link is to the free version and there is a premium version in the market, as well as a bunch of other free/paid alarm clocks.

I thought you had to use CWM with that zip, you couldn't install stuff manually.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjackson:
I would try this if i was sure it wouldn't reinstall all the bloatware. Will it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nottach:
Put the apk in /system/app and set correct permission, using root explorer. the permissions should match the other files in the app directory.

then reboot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericjackson:
ok took your suggestion. downloaded root explorer and i cant select r/w in system folder and of course cant copy any files over because its "read only."

ive researched similar issues online and see people have had this issue but the threads i found no one ever seems to say if they got it resolved or not. some people are saying its not rooted but my other rooted apps work fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] schelde_sun:
Hey guys,

hope someone could help me. I flashed the newest version of BoyPPC-Shift PDA. I partitioned my SD Card (8Gb) to Fat and EXT3. Now I have the problem with the internal memory. I also put the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card before flashing the ROM with CWM.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Do i have to partition the SD Card to EXT4 and put then the Data2SD folder and the .config to the SD Card? I don't have any experience with EXT4. Before i used Rafroid and everything worked fine with EXT3.

Thanks a lot for your help ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maghraby_80:
i got the same problem exactly and apparently no one knows a solution i iwsh it was like DHD where it works automatically also note that this issue has been always there with all BOYPPC Builds if u go to to the Memory settings it reads the EXT3 size but all the apps are installed on the internal memory so i do not know whether it is a bad script or what exactly

Hello, i´m from germany and my english is not good...

but i try to help..

I use the BoyPPCShiftPDA DHD Rom with 1GB app2sd and my SD Card is completely formatet to FAT32 (8GB).

To use the app2sd feature i extract the files from the attachment and put the folder and the config file to my sdcard.

This works perfectly for me.

This will only work if your tablet is running a ROM that is properly linked to the Android market, otherwise you will get a market license failure.

Interesting. This will allow us to text from the gtablet? Or are they just viewable files?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
you compose messages via the tablet, then they get synced to the phone, and the phone actually sends the message out. conversely, the phone receives a message, syncs it to the tablet, and is viewable via the syncsms app

Would it be possible to use Bluetooth to sync between devices?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
would be possible, but i didn't want to require that. also, some devices don't support proper bluetooth settings and the radio uses battery. i figured an alarm-driven polling method would be more battery efficient. plus, i am in the final stages of testing push notification-driven updates

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] civicvx94:
The one thing that irks me about this phone is the lack of an led notification light..I currently use NoLED and its great but I think I would rather use the the normal BLN..

I was wondering if anyone.knew a way to use the just one keys LED as a notification instead of all the keys? Aside from battery, its just too bright and unnecessary. I heard Cyanogen had this option in CM but I need GPS so I'm sticking with Trigger. I've tried NoLED, BLN, and Light Flow and although they all work, they don't have this option.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Abu-7abash:
I second that. It would be much better battery wise which is always one of my biggest concerns on this phone.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] geoffcorey:
it's possible if you want to put in the vast amount of time to reverse engineer the light control file.

There is a reason it hasn't come to life yet. The sheer amount of time needed to reverse engineer the light control file VASTLY outweighs any benefit from it.

Also, about CM7 thing. it's just like bln. you get either lights on, or lights blinking. But you don't get the option of single lights.

[Desire HD General] mathrania:
I have taken 3 videos of duration between 1 to 3 minutes. I kept the setting at 720p recording in my DHD stock Rom. The thing i realized after transfering them to my laptop is that all 3 videos have a very minute pause of recording in between. It occurs like 3-4 times in a video of 1.30 minute. Are you people facing this problem? I checked my memory card of 8GB is still 30% free and there are not more apps running in background.

Is there any solution to get smooth video recordings or is it a bug in DHD ?
[Desire HD General] west2cool:
Normally your SD card need formatting
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
Not exactly sure what you mean...

But there is an issue with 1.32, where video randomly skips a few seconds, which was supposed to be fixed in 1.72 firmware.

I did see suggestions about reformating for SD card or using a task killer before you shoot. Check if you're still on 1.32.

I don't have much experience as I didn't do much recording before updating to 1.72. Your best bet is to install a custom ROM if you don't have a update avalible yet. Or wait for the gingerbread update, which should be coming in a few weeks, sound and video recording is improved alot in gingerbread.
[Desire HD General] mathrania:
If you are talking about software number,it is 1.83 .

I dont know where exactly i can find the firmware no.

I got this s/w no in settings>about phone>software information.

Is it the correct place to look for the firmware?

About formatting my memory card, is there any software to backup and restore the image of memory card?
[Desire HD General] mathrania:
Yes, the video randomly skips a few seconds.... thats the true explanation. My brother took the same video with his experia ACE, and the video quality was better than DHD. There was much light and the video was brighter as well, compared with my DHD's video.
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
Yes you're looking at the right place.

You don't need any backup software, just copy everything for the SD card to a folder on your PC, format it, and copy back, easy :).

Note that HTC phones aren't exactly known for their cameras. And it's not a suprise that the video on the SE may be higher quality.

There is a great thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875230&highlight=camera+guide

that explains the DHD camera and fixes alot of the issues. It's worth a read.

The main point is to set sharpness to -2 (helps the quality), and adjust the exposure if video lags (low light).

If you were recording outside, maybe setting the exposure higher might help brightness (The problems is that setting too high will resoult in lag if there is not enough light availible.

Funny enough, I tried recording a video now and saw skipping (with 1.82). Exiting the Camera app and using a task killer to kill everything running in the background solved the issue. Search the android market for a "task killer" and download it, and use it before recording.

I hope that will solve your issue. :)
[Desire HD General] mathrania:
I just put in a Brand New,unused 1 GB memory card, and took a video. I realized that the Video was normal, and there was no skipping, so now i plan to FORMAT my 8GB memory card and then going to take a video and post the result here.

Can't get rid of this error:

android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: near "s": syntax error: , while compiling:

Select correct from answers where correct = 'Between the airplane's climb angle and the horizon.'

Obviously, it's finding the single quote in ( airplane's ) and considering that the end of the statement.

I've tried:

correct.replaceAll(" ' ", " ''' "); //replace 1 with 3

correct.replaceAll(" ' ", " '' "); // replace 1 with 2

correct.replaceAll(" ' ", " "); // replace 1 with space

(NOTE: the spaces are NOT in the code, I just did that to make it readable)

I have no idea what's going on, IMO, it should work. Maybe I need to try:

String single = "'"; // single '

String double = "''" // double ''

correct.replaceAll(single, double); // ????

Everything I"ve read about sqlite3 is to replace one with two....

TIA,

[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
\'

\ is the escape character for most languages

so airplane's would be airplane\'s

Also, are you binding your queries with the "question mark" bind?
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
I'll try the escape and post back later. There are 1,000 rows in the database and I"m pulling a random subset of that, so it's not that often I get one of those situations.

I'm not sure what you mean by "binding with ?" Isn't that what you use for bind variable unknown at runtime? I know my bind variables and just use it in my dbquery. Please enlighten me...always happy to learn something new

Sample code...answerOne would contain the single quote that's killing me :)

Cursor c;
c = myDataBase.rawQuery("Select correct from answers where correct = '" + answerOne + "'", null);
if(c.moveToFirst())
answer = "1";
c.close();
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
binding with question marks should take care of escaping for you.

Basically the question mark is a place holder for a variable in the query.

What you are doing is manually creating the query string. This is considered bad practice these days especially with regards to security. Mostly because it opens up the DB to a SQL injection attack.

So instead of using the rawQuery just use query and you can put a ? in and android will substitute the value for you, all properly escaped:

String tableName = "answers";
String selectArgs = "correct=[COLOR="Red"]?[/COLOR]";
// if answerOne is string dont need String.valueOf
String[] selectVals = { String.valueOf ( answerOne ) };
String[] columnsProjection= new String[] {"correct" };

Cursor c = db.query(tableName, columnsProjection, selectArgs,selectVals,null);

So in that code the OS will replace the ? in selectArgs with the values in selectVals

This may seem like more writing at first but once you get in the habit it will be easy, reliable and more secure. It also allows you to bind multiple variables to mutiple question marks. It just binds then in the order it gets them.

so something like this:

String answerOne= "one";

String selectArgs = "correct=? AND age=? AND smiling=?";

String[] selectVals = { answerOne, "21", "yes" };
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Ok, I'll try it. There are about 50 different queries in this program...for some reason I just decided to do a rawQuery on this one. I'll change it to "db.query(table name, new String[] {}....yada, yada).

Because, it just crashed and I decided to come back here and check for a solution.

Thank you very much!!! :)

Using a viewsonic G Tablet, I had initially loaded the clockwork mod. was working fine. Flashed a few ROMs over the last week.
