That was my first guess. Tried it but it didn't work.

I even tried with market enabler but all I get is the books category in the Market (but not the app itself)
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
uuuu i did it..... :) simple.... coonect to vpn.tenacy.com and then use marketaccess to emulate t-mobile us :)

clean market data too

edit: false alarm.... cant buy anything :(
[Acer Iconia A500] seraphimserapis:
I don't get tenacy to work.

Google Translate says I've got to connect to vpn.tenacy.com with the account doorly.tenacy.info but that doesn't work here

first is host second user third password and in the title of each vpn is the type of vpn

too bad it doesn't work :( anyway it seems stupid to have to "hack" the device to give them money :|

really wanna try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pocketappbuilders.tabletcpuusagesmonitor

but cant buy it :(

Bought playerpro on my A500

Although I cannot find every app on my A500 I am able to buy apps. With my SGS I can find more apps than on my tablet. However I was going to buy playerpro for my SGS when I remembered this thread. So I thought why not buy this on my A500 to see if it works.

I connected to my wifi @ home. Then went to market. Searched for playerpro and bought it. I'm not sure I follow the problem from the OP. I did login with the same account as my SGS which already had a credit card linked to it.

So I ask you, what seems to be the problem? Not seeing all apps or simply not being able to buy apps?

On the start screen there is a section best paid apps. Are you saying you cannot buy anything from there?
[Acer Iconia A500] buffos:
The problem is that you are in Netherland, where you HAVE paid apps, so CAN buy applications anyway.

We are trying to buy applications, in countries that paid apps are not enabled.

By faking the ip (via vpn) , we can trick the market to SHOW us paid apps. The problem is that when you click on buy, we cannot continue.
[Acer Iconia A500] seraphimserapis:
I'm in germany and I can buy paid apps, too :) But I can't download every app (because Google sets some apps US-Only)
[Acer Iconia A500] spaanplaat:
Ohhh, I assumed that all countries could buy apps. Is there something I can try or search some settings to help you?
[General Questions and Answers] Haphim:
I need to be able to automate the action of deleting and copying folders recursively (meaning the entire tree beneath them).

Tasker can handle the deleting part, but it can't handle the copying part.

So, how can I automate a set of such tasks? Ideally, I'd like something that Tasker can trigger, but anything I can slap an icon on the home screen for will do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiv4m:
Is there anyway to disable the 4 lights on the bottom? I'm assuming this would increase battery performance as the lights are always on when I'm using the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
Nope there is not. For better battery life you can recondition your battery.{wipe batterystats.bin} on a full charge. My battery life sucked and what helps a lot is shutting off the data when you are not using it. Your battery life will almost double. Depending on how much data you use.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiv4m:
Where can I find the .bin file?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madguitarist63:
Dont need to find it.. When your battery is at 100% boot into recovery mode, go to advanced then wipe battery stats. Or you can get battery calibration app in market. Both work good
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdockr:
That's odd that you can't turn off the home row lights as they were off on previous Froyo ROMs. It it a Gingerbread or a Cyanogen thing? They seem to go off every now and then.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
Are they on all the time, could be BLN, or LED Notify.

Greetings!

I wonder how to run the Jbed - Java emulator - in my Coby Kyros 7015. Libjbedvm file installed in the lib folder and managed to install apk but the program does not open and does not work.

Does anyone know what should I do?

Much appreciated!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Theonew:
What firmware do you have? There are 2 versions of the JBed emulator. One for android 1.5 - 2.1 and there is a version for android 2.2 up. You need to make sure you have the correct version. Also do you have an SD card in your device? JBed needs an SD card to be present because it only uses .jar files on the SD card. Hope this helps.:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] old386:
The device uses the Android 2.1. I've used the correct version but it is only charging and not start.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samomamo:
Hi I bought the g2x like a week ago it had little backlight bleed from the top corners and today I noticed its getting worse, now its from the middle and from bottom to plus now I have a dead pixel. I checked the phone when I got it the first day and now its getting very bad. I wanted to keep but its going back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I was just looking at mine today and you might be right-when I got it a little over a week ago the bleeding was minor-nothing to worry about, now it's clearly visible under low light environment- top left and right corners as well as the bottom left corner. Completely unacceptable for $550 device that claims to be one of the best super smart phones out there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samomamo:
I so wanted to overlook the screenbleed but now when its getting worse I can't , plus now I have a dead pixel right in the middle that's making me more crazy, yesterday my friend got himself g2x and he's the screen is good but it had other problems like wifi connection issues and rebooting, man this phone sound so perfect on the paper but when u get them they have so many problems. I'm thinking waithing for gs2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
There are apps in the market to fix the dead pixel-give it a try. As far as the bleeding-we are on the same boat it seems...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I really think some people are blowing this issue out of proportion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
If you're not affected by this issue I would understand why you think that way. But my phone is getting worse and I am not going to settle that easy!!! I am exchanging it Monday...again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samomamo:
Well I was trying to think that too blowing out of proportion, I paid $544 something and fff them if they going to take my money and give me half ass ****.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I have it as well but I only notice it in complete darkness on full brightness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xenoletum:
The people that ***** are those that ***** a lot. The minority is always the most vocal.

Guess what other device has a similar "problem". The evo 4g, yet there isn't as much complaining now.

People should do their research before buying. This phone has been out for quite some time now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
How many exchanges have u done?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
One, tried to exchange it second time, but the new one was even worse than mine in terms of LCD Bleeding so I kept mine...but mine now just started randomly rebooting so I will go and exchange it again....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Your taking a chance man. But I understand. Ask for a later date. Or check box when they bring replacement out. I exchanged 3 times and I have minimal bleeding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
orly? were blowing out of proportion?

LOL again we blow it out of proportion and you have already exchanged it 3 times.....

i have had 2 that had horrible bleeding and one with reboots/wifi/sim wont recognize problems....

third one on the way

i figured it would get worse as i stated in other threads... my tv got worse within just about 3 months time after buying it and i got it replaced...

i just dont get why some are really bad....others are ok... and then some have NO backlight bleeding... again ill say it...

i worked in a plastic company for 3 years total and we had "standards" parts that where not to the "standard" where thrown away..... this is all about korean quality control.... they dont have any if there is such wide spectrum of good bleed vs bad bleed vs horrible bleed....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I was buying it until you said you had bleeding from the middle. Turn down your brightness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I returned for other reasons. I had reboot issues.and data stuck in 2g one. I had minimal on all. Like I said u only notice in a complete pitch black room with brightness on 100%. Yes blown out of proportion. The issue isnt gonna be fixed for some time. Most stores arent even on a second batch shipment. Keep returning if u think it will make matters better. Some people have reported diff. Taking a chance when the one u have may be the best it can get.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samomamo:
What u buying it it bleeding from right side in the middle if I put the phone from the angle I can see 2 spots leaking the light in the middle its like the screen is not sitting tight
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] poohtbear:
Hi.

I'm a veteran Android app developer but i am new to building roms, especially in the whole android build system.

It all started when trying to build the secured version of su.... i'm still unable to build it, the build system seems to ignore hte includes and claims there are undefined references to functions like get_property etc...

My main question is, i saw in the android build tree under /external that there are tcpdum, pcap and many nice to have applications i'll be happy to load on my device and compile for it (yes it's rooted)

My main steps in building (after checking out using repo) are:

run the . build/envsetup.sh script

run lunch generic-eng from the root of the srouce

run make

now my question is how do i make sure ALL the applications in the external folder are built ? should i change the build/code.mk to include their LOCAL_SRC name ? or is there a parameter i can pass to 'make' that should do the trick ?

Another question regarding the su itself is that it's Android.mk file did not contain LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := sentence and i had to add it myself, anyone managed to successfully compile that file ?

Also anybody got some documentation regarding how to use the sqlite3 functions (or is it the std library and the documentation exist in the sqlite3 site ?)

10x
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] poohtbear:
it seems to be a small problem with 2.3, once i checked out 2.2, compiled it using:

. build/envsetup.sh

launch generic-eng

make

all the binaries were built, since target was arm then all the binaries should be ok with the devices that use 2.2.

After the build i downloaded the su-binary from the git to $source_root/external/su-binary

changed the name in the Android.mk to su-binary so it wont collide with the system/external/su and run mm in the $source_root/external/su-binary dir.

Everything was build nicely.

I'll check the sqlite3 docs for refference but i'll appreciate anyone that knows the IBInder interface and the like that can explain the intnet send code (why not use am binary like in prev versions ? )

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsenj:
So I'm actually somewhat of a noob to rooting and flashing roms. I had an HD2 that was rooted and what not but really didn't play with it too much. I picked up my G2 the other day and haven't put it down since. This thing is amazing. Now that I've said that.

I rooted it using the rage/ADB way with gfree. I dl'd Rom manager and Kernel manager. Currently running CM7 final with the CM rom. I wanted to try out a couple of the other builds but have already set my phone up for the most part. I was wondering if there is a way to keep settings and such while flashing between roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Use MyBackup.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eunkipark92:
Make a back up in recovery, to keep all your data.

Or use titanium back up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Just wanted to add my 2 cents.

Use NANDroid backup in CWM recovery to make a complete image of your current ROM and settings.

Use Titanium Backup (in android market) to make a backup of your settings, apps and etc..

Flash your new ROM and use Titanium to restore your apps. I would not recommend restoring your settings as some settings do not exist or are different on other ROMs.

Happy flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsenj:
Thanks for all the great replies. I have made a backup using Titanium and I have loaded nandroid onto my laptop. I'm going to make a full backup of the device state and commence with the tinkering. Damn I love playing with this kind of technology. Just being able to make changes and see the outcome.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You talking about HardSPL on Windows Mobile phones? Really not the same thing as rooting and Android phone, so probably a good idea to keep the terminology separate.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsenj:
Sorry for the mix up. Yea the HD2 is HardSPL. Unlock bootloader so you can multi-boot.

Hey guys,

Got my hands on the Mugen Power Batteries (thanks to the folks over there for sending them out free of charge!) - both the 3300 mah and 1600 mah capacities. I wanted to provide an accurate comparison between these and the stock battery so I took my time with the review, getting a general idea of the overall usage and then putting them into test experiment.

You can see the whole experiment and full review below, but basically put, the 3300 mah battery is FANTASTIC, meeting my high expectations. On the other hand, the 1600 mah battery is disappointing to put it lightly.

[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
The price is too much....

Plan B and much cheaper alternative....

Another stock battery, a carry around wall charger, or a USB car charger.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ploone:
Yep, I agree. That's why I only recommended it to those who really did NEED the extra power, I'm sure there is a small market of people who would find it essential. Thanks for your input!
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
I agree too. It's waaaaaay too much ca$h for it. Furthermore, it even makes the NS look fat, so you're in a lose-lose situation instead of a win-win.

Instead, I would recommend an OEM 1440 mAh, or maybe even 2 of these, which you can find at around 5 $ on eBay. It's way cheaper and it retains the original NS thickness. Granted, you will have to reboot the device each time you connect a new battery, but hell... I would prefer at anytime this method instead of a fat NS, really now... (it just looks ugly, even though maybe it is pretty decent to hold in hands).

Anyway, it was a pleasure watching the video, so thank you very much for putting the effort in it, I really appreciate it !

[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:

[Nexus S Accessories] herbthehammer:
I had extended batteries for my evo and epic. Both ran longer than stock obviously. The evo battery, even though it had less capacity than the epic's, it lasted longer. My biggest complaint with bigger batteries is that there isn't usually any case you can find that fits the fat phone. I really hate not having a case to help protect the phone against any unforeseen accidents. Both battery door covers had cheesy build quality and the epic didn't snap shut completely.

It's a damn shame too because it's so awesome to be able to stay away from a charger all day long, then plug it in when you go to bed.
[Nexus S Accessories] co2m:
Hello, will the back battery door of this 3300 MAH mugen battery fit for the nexus S i9023, because many of the nexus s case fit so tight in i9023 (I don't know whether the back battery door have the same problem).
[Nexus S Accessories] Ploone:
Unfortunately I don't have a i9023 model to test out on, I'm not sure if the battery, the battery cover or the screen of the i9023 model is what makes it thicker, my guess is if it is the battery or the back cover then it should work.

However, if it is the phone itself then won't work.

I used it for around 2 weeks, like I said in the video, it is TERRIBLY slippery, twice I placed the phone on my lap and it slid off and fell on the ground, other times I just didn't grip it tight enough and slipped out with ease.

Going to Plastidip it in order to add a matte finish
