I hate it when apps put something up there advertising their other apps, I will rage so hard if this pops up one day.
[Vibrant General] HeavyA:
it's one thing to have ads within apps that run on their own, but to inject them into the notification/windowshade is beyond intrusive. no way in hell would I install anything that utilizes this
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
This is against the market rules.... report any app with this...

Google has already blocked/removed some apps doing this. Personally, I don't think its bad... have a full/clean screen for gaming, and I can just drop-down and clear without my screen being an ad....

o well, just report it.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Lol. No, it's not against the rules.

Google only removed the apps because of the number of people that reported them as MALICIOUS. That goes to show how little Google Polices their marketplace, though. They had absolutley no clue about this. It was just an overreaction on their part in those cases.

It's not against market rules, and it's not against the UI guidelines. Google needs to crack down. This would never happen in i.e. iOS or WP7 where they apps are actually checked before allowed to be posted to the marketplace. They'd get rejected in a new york setting.

And there is too much wrong with that. The notification bar is not for Ads. I don't even think Applications like Beejive/Trillian/etc. should be allowed to put their huge "Hi I'm running" things in the notification bar, either. It makes getting to the notifications too clunky esp with how much room these things take on a 4" screen...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:

The app that was removed, the developer wrote a very nice article stating that it violated policy and that is why his app was removed from the market, without any warning.

[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Hi guys,

i have a question about applying a custom theme within a custom rom. Let's say i cooked a rom with the 1.6 kitchen and let it all default, just a minimalized rom.

Now when i cook a theme with the UOT kitchen and flash it through recovery, all goes well.

But i don't want to flash it after flashing the rom. I want to implement it in to the rom, so just one flash to get my phone look nice.

When i put the framework-res.apk in my extracted rom folder in /system/framework i only get bootloops after flashing.

any ideas ?
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
normally that should work with no problems ...

i used to do that with my themes for samsung galaxy spica, always worked well

just exchange framework-res.apk in your rom with your themed one ...

but i haven´t tried on optimus 2x yet ...
[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
That's what i thought... But i can't get it to work normally....
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Strange... i havn't got UOT kitchen to work on my O2x.

Getting errors when i try to flash the *.zip.

Never had any problems before when i made frameworks for my other phones; Desire, Wildfire, SGS, etc..

Anything i have missed?

Sorry if i steal your thread =)

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
you have to exchange update-binary from uot kitchen with this one :

Hopefully they expand it out soon.

Unfortunately I think the 4g outage delayed things a little.

Hope Someone can help.

I had a problem with my Samsung galaxy s i9000 and i was told to flash it using Odin, i downloaded the files from sam firmware and put android 2.3 onto it, when it had completed the phone will not get a service, everything else works fine and it reads the sim card and the contacts etc it just wont connect to network?

Can anyone help?

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbnz:
Does it work wireless ?

Does it get phone network, or both data and phone services are unavailable ?

Do you have in wireless and network settings under mobile network the "use data packet" switched on ??

Did you try with a sim from another operator just to see if it's a matter of specific operator settings ?

I got italian language, maybe settings name are a bit different from the ones i mentioned, but that's the concept.

Hey guys I did a "Factory Reset" to my galaxy s i9000 and when restarted the phone would not connect. I tried flashing it but nothing! please help!

Mobile Network not available

I have flashed 2.3.4 and then the CFRoot kernel, I then proceeded to unlock the SIM and have confirmed that all four options show sim unlocked. The IMEI is still intact. My sim card is a valid (active) AT&T card that works when in my other phone.

The XXJVP rom is the one I have flashed, the csc file was "GT-I9000-CSC-Multi-OXAJVP.tar" I am located in the USA, is this the correct setting? I have tried to connect the APN (it shows up green).

If after flashing with the latest version for your region (2.3.6) you get the signal back, you might have the same problem with the 3G connection, as I had.

As you'll see in my thread, to resolved it, i simply copied the APN settings from another phone using the same network (Orange Romania)....and it seems to work fine.

Try this method and let us know the result!

My phone is about to be taken away (XPERIA X10) for a replacement in few days. I want to back up everything on it, not just the apps or settings. I want to back up the Android 2.2 which I have on it, all the apps in it with the settings.

I had 2.1, i have got everything ready, such xrecovery and etc.

Could you tell me a way I could also backup my root files (not the sd files).

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] thisisuzair:
does any one know what I could use
[General Questions and Answers] gio22:
Is your phone rooted? If so, you should use Titanium Backup. You have the ability to backup all your system files and data files. However, keep in mind that when you restore system files, they will need to be restored on the same version of Android that you had on your original phone. If not, you can have many conflicts on restore.

If your phone isn't rooted, there are several backup programs in the Android Market and Amazon's market that do backups.

Don't know if this will help, but if you could provide more information on your question, you will probably get more specific answers.

Good Luck!!
[General Questions and Answers] GuestD2558:
As long as it's a replacement of the exact same phone with the exact same OS, I'm pretty sure you could just use something like Titanium Backup to handle all this if your phone is rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] thisisuzair:
I do have my phone rooted, I want to backup everything, everything, so I can restore the phone as it was. Dont worry about the new phone, i can root and get android 2.2 on it.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
As said, Titanium Backup is your best bet. If you're talking about something similar to a nandroid backup through your recovery, you cannot restore those across phones with causing major problems.

Backup your apps + data with TB, but I wouldn't restore any system data. Download the rom you're currently running & have your root method handy. Setting back up shouldn't take too long. I'd take screenshots as well to help when setting widgets back up because TB or any other app cannot restore those.

EDIT: Also backup your contacts/calendar through gmail. Go in to your Accounts & Sync settings and choose sync now. Don't restore anything backed up with Google through Titanium Backup, you might get duplicates.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
XDAians, welcome

A couple of questions, answer as many as you can:

1) Reset to Factory, is the factory image file overwritten when downgrading?

i.e. if i click on it, Root and S-OFF dissapears right?, and i was on 1.72 (now on 1.32) will i go back to 1.72 or just a clean version of 1.32? (I doubt it is overwritten, but just making sure!)

2) What exactly does Flashing do? overwrites files? installs? and the difference between flashing and installing

3) i have ROM Manager v4.0.0.6, but i cant flash CWM since it gives me an error when trying to connect to server, so i download the .img of v3.0.2.8 file from someone (sorry, 4got the name) in the XDA forums. My question is,

3.a)will flashing the .img file overwrite my Bootloader?

3.b)can it be deleted?

3.c)what are the risks?

4) Does Over/Under clocking the CPU (using SetCPU or something) damage the CPU or have any bad affect on the H/W?

5) can you get out of a bricked state?

6) Does anyone know where the file is that manages how the apps show up in the 'All Apps' menu?

To make it more clear, lockscreen.apk is in /system/app/, and when deleted, it gives the original android lockscreen, can i do that for the App Menu?

Please answer as in depth as you can (Technology Stuff, no noob stuff).

Thanks for reading all of this! and thanks for answering

EI BUDDY I BEGGIN :)!!

fact. reset:It leaves the rom with the applications and configurations of factory without losing anything and less even your version of current rom. This way that if these in the 1.32 it will not return to the previous one(before downgrading i said)

"flash" is only an expression that uses for say that you are overwriting the internal flash memory of your device.... installing another rom on your system...

flash an img not writes your bootloader:rolleyes:

the only think that overwrite your bootloader is make a RADIO S-OFF (ENG OFF)etc.. that prepares your device for flashing radios etc... (but man, i think that you must to read more the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT FORUM :(...

FLASH a new baseband can do a brick if you don´t flash it correctly or flashes a radio of another device!!!:eek:

set the cpu speed of your device can damage your hardware if you overclock your processor a lot (for example upper than 1500 mhz more or less, read the snapdragon features in his official web) and underclock the proccessor a lot It can provoke that your device could not go out of the standby...

thanks 4 replying, and yes, i have searched google for the answers.

*anyway, i didnt understand the answer of question 1 fully, but what i understood was that i'll reset it to a clean 1.32 version?

* so installing CWM img is harmless?

*If overclocking to 1.2 isnt harmful, why didnt HTC ship the phones with 1.2 processor?, why did they limit it?

*as for the App menu, there must be a way, its android, open source, there must be a way - if not, how did HTC change the original look, to their look?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SERGI.3210:
--if you have 1.75 version you are going back to a 1.75 clean version

--To that you refer with "img" the only thing that happens to me there is flash a radio that has extension *.img, if it is like that I do not recommend flash aNY radio from CWM, BETTER TO DO IT FROM BOOTLOADER.

--It is true that to do overclock can shorten the life of the processor, but it is slightly probable since he supports mORE power, if you it rise to 1.2 ghz you are not going to have any problem, INSURANCE.

1.8 ghz for example its sooo dangerous, can smoke your desire...

--the only think that you can do with your app drawer its download another launcher from the market
