Yes it's possible.

But I think this files where intentionally made public by Rovio, because the rest of the files are private.

I don't know what API is used by Rovio to write the file, but I suppose it makes use of the param Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE or similar.

Context.MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE still exist and is not deprecated and so is still possible to create public files.

Maybe some API changed, don't know what really changed.

Maybe on future update of the games this is solved.

I have to do myself a few tests with file creation to see if I can create public files.
[Android Apps and Games] best98:
I m totally with you by Rovio's intentions on the initial release and former Android's OS's ... :)

Well, I was more thinking about app segregation and bubles that is no more possible by a user without root priviledges.

Today, I m going to have a test device running JB, at least I could also give it a try !

Is it possible to transfer the scores from Angry birds free to Angry birds premium?
[Android Apps and Games] sergiopat:
If you are using my app, yes it is possible.

My app detects multiple versions of the same game and uses the first found from a defined order. So if you have only one version installed that one will be used. I had reports of users who successfully transfered their progress from the free version to the paid version.

Rovio is bringing "Rovio Account" to Angry Birds that allows to save the game progress, this means my app will no longer be needed.

More info Rovio blog.
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
Thanks but I think I sussed it with root explorer. Go to data/then angrybirdsad folder and copy high scores file from one of the sub folders.

Where is your app?
[Android Apps and Games] sergiopat:
Yes, is just moving the files to the new folder.

My app is no longer in the market due to the "Angry Birds" trademark, but if you want it just send me a private message with your email.
[Android Apps and Games] ermacwins:
Cant you upload it here so others can also benefit? Also I see other 2 other backup apps with the name 'angry birds'
[Android Apps and Games] sergiopat:
I don't know why some apps were not suspended. Most of them were, I received a report about the app suspension with a lot of other apps suspended. A few developers renamed their app and republished, I decided not to do it. And so I also prefer not to host the app anywhere.

I still maintain the app and update it as requests come from existing users of my app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Krnla:
Is it just me or does the auto-brightness seem to only stay at a certain brightness and never change? On my previous phone, usually when I had auto-brightness enabled, whenever I walked into a dark room, my brightness would lower right away but on this phone, no matter where I go, the brightness seems to always be the same with auto-brightness on. The brightness does not change, even when I walk out with the sun out..

Can anybody confirm this please, I'm thinking of exchanging this unit as it might be defective...

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Might be your phone. In my moderately-lit office, I can definitely see the screen brightness change when I focus a flashlight on the sensor and then take it away. It's not a huge difference, but definitely observable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oilfighter:
Do you use a case? Is the case blocking the light sensor?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Krnla:
I do not use a case. I have also tried blocking the sensor with my fingers and the brightness just seems to always stay the same... also when I use the power control widget to change brightness and set it to auto-brightness it immediately jumps to that same particular brightness level that I've been stating

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] abowmedia:
I was noticing this as well. It seems to just go to medium brightness and stay there all day. I never notice any changing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Krnla:
That's exactly what I'm experiencing, glad to know I'm not the only one..

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
The change is definitely less noticeable on this phone than my Nexus One, but is there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tweaken:
I just got the G2x and it does the same for me. It's range of brightness seems to be 20-30% and that's it. I had this problem with stock gingerbread, so I tried rooting and installing CM7, but same problem. So I got it set to manual 10/40/100 on my power control.

My friend said his original droid did this for quite a while until a software update came along a few months later. Maybe we just have to wait till there's a software update to fix it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgerbracht:
Yes, it's borked, always has been.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Mine is broken too. Same happens to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rodrigofalvarez:
Same here. It has never worked, as far as I can remember. Depending on where the setting happens to be left at, my battery runs out in just a few hours, or I cannot use it in the car.

Aside: I switched to an original Droid from an iPhone 3G, then onto a G2X. My next phone is going to be an iPhone -- and I'm not coming back to Android until Google figures things out. Android is nice, but I hate being out of date after a couple of months, and having to install unsupported, hacky, half-broken user-built ROMs to stay current with the state-of-the-art functionality.

Hey

Sony Ericsson released new phone W8 (E16i). Hardware is the same like X8 (E15i). Maybe someone have access to W8 and can upload file system? :)
[XPERIA X8 General] opexblue:
I'm sure someone will upload the rom soon after W8 available in market wich is around june if I'm not mistaken.

PS: in the title, X8 is E15i not E16i ;)

[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
When w8 willvbe aviable in seus we can port it.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
W8 firmware is android 2.1, so it's outdated, we only need it's framework and the walkman app :)
[XPERIA X8 General] ponanovn:
According to Wikipedia Android 2.0 was relesed 26 oktober 2009 and 2.1 shortly after and that Sony Ericsson would release a phone in Q2 or Q3 2011 with 2.1 seems unlikely if they want to show that they listen to their customers.
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
It has 2.1 on it! It's just a new cover and a few design changes. MAybe some new music functions... But nothing really new. They only edited the OS a little little little bit...
[XPERIA X8 General] UAL4588:
Yep it's 2.1. There is a heated debate over whether we should curse SE or curse SE or curse SE on Chinese Boards. Actually all they did was change the framework and added a walkman app. And the slabbed some paint onto the backcover.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Nooo, i get it now...the X8 wearen't selling well after all the complains, so they took them, paint them, put walkman sign+framework + walkman app, and there you go, they fooled the fools...but that won't happen..i don't think many people will buy the W8
[XPERIA X8 General] boxter666:
Why do you think so? As I heard w8 will cheaper or min. on the same price.

I would like to buy orange walkman cover to my white x8 :p
[XPERIA X8 General] hugerth:
Orange cover loks great. And nothing more /:

[XPERIA X8 General] aaron187:
how do i flash this onto my x8 because it is a sin file so xrecovery wont flash this :s
[XPERIA X8 General] aaron187:
Your probably going to laugh at me, but how do i do this and also after that does that mean i can flash through xrecovery, im completely new to this thing.
[XPERIA X8 General] slade87:
i am not laughing at you, if you flash thru seus you will loose all data and also might not be able to root again and install xrecovery.

if you want to use xrecovery somebody with an x8 has to make an update zip.

i am currently trying to make one for the mini pro.

[Thunderbolt General] dclay89:
Ok so now that we have CM7, what do you all think about MIUI?
[Thunderbolt General] inzandity:
Eh, I will be happy with a 100% working and stable CM7. While MIUI is nice, I just prefer complete ASOP.
[Thunderbolt General] ckochinsky125:
Well seeing how CM7 still isnt officially out and stable I would rather them work out all the bugs and release a stable version.
[Thunderbolt General] dclay89:
Yea, I pretty much agree even though I never use some features like GPS, Bluetooth, etc..

I have been running CM7 since Sunday night and it has been freaking stable for a pre-alpha..
[Thunderbolt General] dclay89:
Yea, I used to flip between the two on my incredible alot but the UI on MIUI makes me stick to it for the most part..
[Thunderbolt General] mitchell4500:
MIUI seems nice but for me I have OCD with the icons. I just know not all the apps I download are going to have an icon thats MIUI ish, this will bother me. I look forward to trying this but I hope I can make my own verision of a MIUI rom with no icons lol.

I really like CM too, I think I will stick with that for awhile.

u know that with MIUI you can theme ALL icons.. even market apps. SO make your own mr OCD... I DO ...

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I think people are leaning towards android OS cause they are sick and tired of the same ol' UI with iOS. I used to have all iphone versions up until 3GS. Was gonna get the iP4 but decided to give android a whirl and I am glad I did. Just the fact that we can customize android (thanks to the devs here at xda), made me not want to look back at iOS.

Yea, the customization alone is it for me..

HTC Trace keyboard Swype-like functionality?

Wow, I thought HTC and Swype had an on going deal, looks like Sense is taking over:confused:

I like Swype, NOT Swype like:eek:

HTC: Quietly Stealing :D
[HTC Sensation] I_Droid:
Why do you think it will make a difference? I mean there are only so many ways you can "swype" your finger across the screen.

I use and love Swype, but am excited about the HTC version.

And you still have option of downloading Swype.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
I like it because of HTC sense skin :D

Any vids?
[HTC Sensation] russphil:
I always thought stock sense keyboard was much better than swype. Unless you were swyping, the keyboard was next to useless. Hopefully the 'tracing' doesn't hamper your ability type fast on it. I'd be very interested in a revitalized HTC_IME_MOD keyboard.
[HTC Sensation] olyloh6696:
Wow, intersting find! Swype could file in copyright claims though?!
[HTC Sensation] pakraider:
There are other "swiping" keyboards already available though, like SlideIT. I guess there isn't a patent on swiping?
[HTC Sensation] Omicron90:
As I've had a chance to test Trace on the Sensation, I'd just like to say I'm very happy with it. It takes some getting used to, and some words don't predict quite as well as others, but overall it's worth using in my opinion; it speeds up texting a lot.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Let's see if TMO US bundles it on the Sensation.

[HTC Sensation] Lazzzara:
Got my Sensation today and I've been playing around with various keyboards. I used to use Shapewriter on my Nexus One but the higher resolution messes it up a bit ): Tried a few others before discovering the "Turn on Trace Keyboard" option in settings.

Ticked it

Nothing happened. I can't swipe on the HTC keyboard... not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[HTC Sensation] TermyJW:
That happened to me too. Untick it, tick it again, try again? I can't remember how I got it working...

It also only works in apps like GMail, where word predictions are thrown up. Elsewhere, like the browser URL address, you have to type normally.
[HTC Sensation] Lazzzara:
That'd explain it... I was trying it out in the search widget every time. I can see how it'd be useful not using it when typing a web address or email address, but not having spell check in the search box always baffled me.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
in case they don't, I joined the Swype beta
[HTC Sensation] RellikZephyr:
Anyone trying to rip the trace enabled keyboard apk?

Let some of us not lucky enough to live in UK a go at the keyboard on our Htc

Thanks

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Sensation] zoomol:
I've checked, and as I found out, it works when You have word prediction on (and dictionary) with this option (I have it in Polish, so translating 1:1): "Enable completion for the QWERTY". After enabling - tracing works fine.

For me, HTC doesn't put much effort on this kind of text input, because, when I used SWYPE (on my previous Blackstone), I was abble to turn completion off, and still could SWYPE. Also, on SWYPE, You can press and hold one letter, and then press another, and SWYPE puts trace from 1st to 2nd - in HTC's Touch input (with tracing on) it's impossible... Just a thought....

:P:P nice one... :P:P
[HTC Sensation] tsrzealot:
I looked it up on my sensation just because of this thread and I realized that it is there and it works (quite well, I might add).

The option however is horribly translated, that's why I never thought about enabling that thing. For the german users around here, go to your keyboard settings --> "Touch Input" --> "Tastatur nachverfolgen" --> and then tick "Tastatur nachverfolgen".

That translation is borderline idiotic, because it means something like "follow the keyboard" or something like that, at least it's a really bad translation for "trace keyboard" (or whatever the original says).

Anyway, hope this helps some of you, have fun with the "hidden feature" ;)

EDIT: I'm gonna have to revoke my statement about it working nicely. It feels like the keyboard is overly sensitive to the swiping and most of the time predicts totally random stuff that seems way more improbable than the word I actually meant to write. I'm probably gonna stick to SwiftKey or, if I want swiping, SlideIT, which I found to be more precise.
[HTC Sensation] Chapell:
Unfortunately this HTC Trace is very disappointing. Hard to use, most of the time writes random stuff.

I am trying to sideload titanium backup to my g tab. I am running vegan 5.1.1. I downloaded titanium backup to my computer and it is a zipped file. I then copied it over to my g tablet. How ever when I open it with es file explorer it doesn't ask to install it, it just opens it up and lists the folders and files in it. How do I install it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd112:
This will not install.. You will need to unzip it first and then extract the .apk file out of it and then either move it over or copy it to the SD card or usb stick and attach it. Once detected in the Gtab you will have the option to install the app.

Let us know how u make out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madiom:
Did you create an "update zip" using titanium backup? If so you need to boot into recovery and flash it like a rom
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:
Probably named wrong by the computer

Your computer probably changed the extention from .apk to .zip during the download. Change it back either on the computer or GTab itself and try to install it again.

+1

I've seen this lots of times where some browsers like to rename .apk files to .zip. Just rename it and then open it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
F.A.Q

Q: Which versions of .NET Framework do i have?"

A: Navigate with the Windows explorer to "%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework". There you can see some folders with the version of .NET Framework as their names.

Q: If I try to start the exe file i get this error: "Application failed to initialize (0x0000135)"

A: Your .NET Framework version is too old. Download version 3.5 here.

Q: If I try to start the exe file i get this error: "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application"

A: That means that you have installed .NET Framework 4.0. But 4.0 hasn't include 3.5. Download version 3.5 here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bowtieguy:
Will be checking this out! Looks cool.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Azlum:
Looks like a really handy little tool! Nice job.

IMO you could make the window a lot smaller.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
Maybe I will make the window smaller in the next version. But maybe there will be new features which need that space ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Be aware that certain kernels have exposed an issue with HTC Sync Windows driver and caused reboots upon plugging in via USB.

On the kernel end most devs have resolved it - but there may be some people out there that haven't encountered it yet or updated their kernel.

No need to panic - it's a known issue.

In case it happens to anyone in your thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
Nice but scary to use! I think I'll wait for others to use and report back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
Thanks for the warning. So I will know that's not my tools fault if the device gets a bootloop ;)

What are the options in the tool you are afraid of?

I think you can't break (or brick) your device with this tool. If you flash a wrong radio rom, the device should have a backup from the right one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
Version 1.2 is up! Have fun :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
The version 1.2.1, which fixes a huge bug in v1.2, is up now!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
ill have to check this out!
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
Hey guys

The version 1.3 is up now. With multi language! :D

So it would be great if you guys could translate it to your language! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
I uploaded version 1.3.1 which fixes a bug where "Fix permissions" wasn't working. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickiberli:
Okay...

I think a beta version with featurse to flash custom roms, nandroid, and wipe should be ready tomorrow. So I need a few beta testers, before I release the version officially!

If anyone is interested in testing the new features, please contact me! :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
Very cool tool. (Or actually, compilation of tools.) Looking forward to how it gets developed. Good work.
