Okay, there you go. Contacts - export vcards from Thunderbird (dunno tho. I use KMail), import to desktop GMail, sync. Bookmarks - use xmarks. Remote control - use x11vnc on desktop and any vnc client on the device. Remote control other way - android vnc server on device, any vnc client on desktop. Needs root though.

Since everything is cloud based, I have zero concerns about Android in regards to Linux.. When I need to transfer something over I'll just download it in the browser, maybe sometimes put it on Dropbox... I could also sftp it over if I wanted to.

Maybe if you ask a coherent question about what you're wanting to do people can make suggestions...

Couldn't transmit my message ;-(

OK fellows. Thanks for your posts, they showed me that I could not transmit my message, my idea of this thread.

- Was not my intension to talk about Linux and to feel superior

- Was not my intension to ask for help. RTFM

- Was not my intension to dig into Thunderbird (this was only an example)

- Was not my intension to get information about clouds. Good luck, we have only few of them only here in Portugal ;-)

My intension was to share same information between other (Linux) users which are these special applications to get your Androidsmartphone "connected" with Linux. Connected, I wanted to say something like remote control, filesharing, synchronization, addressbook and contacts ...

... nothing more, nothing less.

So lets close this thread and be happy !
[Android Apps and Games] K900:
I just suggest some of those apps. So I guess this should be a QA thread from now on. People ask, people answer. Simple as that.

Hey guys,

I have decided to post an application I have been working on. This app lets you share apps with anybody. I originally put this on the Android Market but they didn't like how easy it was to send anybody apps without any rules. From the original description:

RECENT CHANGES:

4/29/2011 - Bug fixes

4/25/2011 - Slight graphical improvements, quite a few bug fixes, upgraded logging.

4/18/2011 - Fixed some bugs, allows those with root permissions to send data from app-private (this should be a rare occurrence because it is deprecated)

4/18/2011 - Initial version release

If you have any questions, please PM me. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
This is quite interesting and would be very helpful tocpeople developing apps to send them to testers.
[Android Apps and Games] carandcar:
I can't WAIT to try this. I am not a developer but I've always invisioned an app like this. Gonna test it out right now on my wifes G2! :D
[Android Apps and Games] carandcar:
I tested the app and except for a few force closes it works as advertised. On occassion I had to resend an app several times for it to upload to my wifes non-rooted G2 but in the end she received it. This is an awesome app. Great jod "damageless"!! MyTouch 4G running CM7 2.3.4:D
[Android Apps and Games] willverduzco:
Excellent application idea. Have you considered adding protection to prevent the distribution of paid or secured applications?
[Android Apps and Games] Archon810:
How would this work with copy protected apps, which is a lot of them?

Is the idea to only get this to work with free apps that are not protected at all?
[Android Apps and Games] jcase:
If a developer is concerned about distribution of paid apps, even basic DRM will stop sharing via the app in the OP.

While this is a nice idea, it puts phones and user data at risk. Sharing apps from non-developer authorized distribution points leads to the spread of malware, and piracy.

Scenario that makes this app a bad idea.

Friend a Grabs AWESOME FIGHTING ROBOT game off rapid share, unknown to him this game gains root access (via embed exploit), steals data and makes the phone part of a botnet.

Friend b sees friend a playing the game, it looks awesome!. Friend a) uses this app to share the game to friend b (being from a non authorized source in the first place), friend b runs game and becomes part of the botnet.
[Android Apps and Games] willverduzco:
Good point. Luckily, however, you can apparently disable automatic hands-off installation.
[Android Apps and Games] TazZHD:
is this the according market page: market.android.com/details?id=com.goldtouch.appshare&feature=search_result (cant post links..)

I am wondering about the strange logo
[Android Apps and Games] damageless:
That isn't the market page. It was forced off the market because Google essentially didn't like how people could send apps to anybody so easily. They told me that because not everybody has implemented DRM that I couldn't put it in there. Anyways, rather than put it to waste I decided to post it here. If you let me know of any force closes (tell me how it happened) then I would be happy to fix them and post an update. Please share it with your friends so that I have a reason to keep it alive. Yes, this app could potentially be used for bad things, but it wasn't intended for that purpose. I actually built it so that I could send apps to the lady that does my graphic design so that she could see how things look and send me updated graphics. I have a way around sending copy protected apps, but I currently have the feature disabled (because I thought Google would let me post it if I disabled it, but no luck). Anyways, let me know if you have any feature requests, problems, or anything at all. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] TazZHD:
pls, can you explain the option "use service - instead of activity" ?

And why need the app reading contact data?
[Android Apps and Games] damageless:
Sure. There is a feature that allows you to save access ID numbers to your contact list so you don't have to remember them. It is on the second screen. That is all that it is used for.

The using service preference lets you upload using a service instead of an activity. So it will say "app sent" and upload to the person in the background instead of making you wait.

No personal information is stored at all. Please let me know if you have other questions. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] fullagon:
Hi, love the idea of this app but can not install on my wifes x10i keep getting a parsing error yet it installed fine on my galaxy s I am guessing its because my wife is running eclair and i'm on froyo is froyo the minimum requirement for this app? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] damageless:
Eclair is the minimum requirement. The reason you would be getting a parsing error is if the apk is corrupted. You will need to recopy the apk over.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroHero:
This app clearly has no purpose apart from distribution of warez!
[Android Apps and Games] cingall:
Yeah that's a negative ghost rider, by itself the app has nothing to do with warez. Go troll somewhere else.
[Android Apps and Games] fullagon:
Thanks for the reply damageless and I disagree that this app has no purpose for example my wife does not install stuff on her phone thats my job I was able to send her a train timetable app while she was away from home at the train station so very handy for that situation
[Android Apps and Games] damageless:
Not true that this was ever built or meant for warez. I actually built this app so that I could send apps I'm working on to my graphic designer easily.
[Android Apps and Games] Zwiebel86:
nice idea / work!!

:D:D
[Android Apps and Games] noregretzzzz:
+ 1 my wife likes all the cool beta apps I find here on xDA but lacks the patience of me trying to find the app from her phone and install. Dropbox sometimes wont transfer. This app cuts down time and aggrivation drastically. Good looking out damageless!

[HTC Desire S] Boraxx:
I've been reading several posts on how to gain S-OFF on the Desire-S.

Thus far it seems that at this time no solution works except for the XTC Clip.

To me the Desire Z appears to be basically a Desire S with a sliding keyboard.

The Z appears to have been cracked already.

So is there kernel and ROM wise any difference when it comes to S-OFF comparing the Z to the S:confused:?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
yep, the problem is called: different hardware & different android version ;)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
& also the desire Z is a older phone & is less likely to get updated

& the desire Z has lower RAM (not that it matters much)

& a lower processor speed
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Z will be updated to GB, too. If the hinge of Z is similar to TP2, it would be better.

Hope HTC come up with another QWERTY-fied Android.

this mod was posted by Shep all credit to him for helping out!

for those that don't like ADB here's a easier way i had to buy SQlight edit from the market for 3$ but it was worth it because it worked!

Without adb:

1. Download SQLight editor from the market

2. If you don't have a good file manager also get Root Explorer from the market.

3. After both are installed - use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it

4. Now click on "main"

5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only - highlight and hold

6. Press "Edit Record" and change the "value" to false instead of true

I hope this helps:

Give it a try and let me know how it goes. The app requires root, of course...
[myTouch 4G General] simonMac777:
Guys, you don't need Root explorer (it's not free). SQLite has a feature for search database, not very fast but it works.

Anyway the trick works for a while, but somehow the gtalk_vc_wifi_only is changed back to true! Maybe after a reboot, not sure.

Any idea?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmo7:
I think it only applies to a couple of widgets, like the notepad and weather ones were the only ones I managed. Press and hold the widget until it gets picked up then drop it where it is...it should come up with a grid allowing you to resize it.

Yeah, that seems to be the trick. "Agenda" lets you resize it too, but its a bit random as to how much.
[Acer Iconia A500] DaMan:
Hi!

Just got myself a A500 (32GB) but my storage only show 12,24 gb available.

When looking in Device Information i see ROM size 16GB.

Does this mean i have the 16gb version ????

The box says 32gb and serials on the device are according to the serials on the box ??

Whay happened to my 32gb ?

Thnx for answers.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
Wasn't aware that Acer had released a 32GB Iconia A500 at this time, although the user manual does mention that. If the box says 32GB and the unit says 16, I'd return it quickly.
[Acer Iconia A500] abats:
US get the 16gig but all of Europe (from what i've seen) have only the 32gig version so far.
[Acer Iconia A500] DaMan:
So, ROM size 16gb really means i have 16gb version ?

And yes, i paid for a 32gb version just as the box says.

Will be calling the store and Acer tomorrow.

Thnx
[Acer Iconia A500] jeffriffle:
Box is labeled wrong

You paid for a 16 GB version but got a box for a 32 GB version. It's confusing but what do you do. They should have included a 16 GB microSD card with them. I had the same thing happen at Best Buy in the US. they can only refund your money.
[Acer Iconia A500] codeman83:
Can anyone confirm this? I bought a 32gb Acer Iconia Tab aswell. Romsize says 16bg. I contacted the place where I bought it, and they replied that it is infact 16gb romsize for the 32gb version. 16gb romsize, 16gb of filestorage for 32gb version. 8gb romsize, 8gb for filestorage in the 16gb version.
[Acer Iconia A500] mippippippi:
It's a bit off topic but does anyone know or have an idea or rumor as when 32GB version will be available in US?
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I might be wrong, but I don't think "ROM Size" under "Device Information" is the same as your sdcard storage.

Look under Settings -> Storage. Under "Internal Storage", you should see "Total: 12.51GB" if it's a 16GB version. If it's a 32GB version, you should see something in the mid 20's, i'd assume.

I'm not sure how they come up with that, they must be taking some out for factory installed apps. My internal storage as 12.51gb total, and my 16gb external sdcard says 14.97gb. I would have thought they would be the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] yogb21:
I have 32GB written on Box and also in the device I see 32GB space...
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
The internal storage has several partitions(divisions in the total space) that allow android to run. I'm not sure on sizes for this tablet, but generally you've got around 2-4GB dedicated to Android. That'd leave you with 12-14GB of space for your personal data. Sort of like a computer with a 1TB hard drive. Even 100% empty, the data structures and rounding off of numbers make them 930GB or so. After you put Windows on it, you've got 915GB free. So a new computer with a 1TB drive would have maybe 900GB free. The drive is 1TB, but to get any use out of the system, you need to use some of the space.
[Acer Iconia A500] farnsbarns:
With regards to the issue with 1tb drives mentioned, that's because drive manufacturers call 1000mb a gb but MS correctly calculate it as 1024mb to a gb.

The internal storage quoted includes the Rom but I don't see why the Rom on the 32gb device is twice the size of the Rom in the 16gb device. I have had a ported honeycomb on my desire hd and that only has 1.5gb of storage.
[Acer Iconia A500] negrix:
I have the 32GB version, My internal storage shows as 27.02GB
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
The ROM size, which I'm pretty sure isn't a ROM at all, and is just a partition in the MTD, shouldn't be more than 4GB at most. That'd be more than enough space for android and lots of apps. I know on ClockWorkMod you can repartition the device to use more or less space, but we don't have that as an option at present.

A 32GB tab having 27GB free sounds reasonable. 32,000/1024=31.25 - 4GB = 27.25, add in some extra space used for filesystem structures(ext filesystems by default reserve 5% for the superuser) and it adds up.
[Acer Iconia A500] habs101:
I went to bestbuy Canada today

they hada 32gb in stock at the store as a demo

If you bought a 32 and only 16 is showing take it back.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
+1

Under no circumstance should you be getting what you're getting. 27GB sounds right.
[Acer Iconia A500] wrexmaniac:
I have a 16Gb, but file managers are showing that there is about 27Gb free. There is no SD card installed.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
If so, you probably got the 32gb that was supposed to be in the boxes of the people who actually bought 32's. For them, taking it back is recommended. For you, I'd hang on to it, consider it early Christmas.
[Acer Iconia A500] DaMan:
hahaha...they probably mixed up yours and mine.

But anyways, i got a new A500 with the correct filesize..that is Romsize 32gb.

Is there anything to these kernels for us? Could they be implemented and is anyone willing to try? I'm sure we would all agree that any improvement in battery life is a worthwhile goal, especially with all the varience of performance on froyo. I don't know the particulars & I'm not a dev but the experience some Evo people are having with these sure seems to merit investigation by someone who knows what they're doing(not me). Until today I'd never heard of these kernels & don't know if it's already been considered.
[Vibrant General] matb321:
I have been trying to get clockwork to work forever on my Vibrant and I finally got it to work.I rooted my phone using super one click method then I installed 3e_recovery installer onto phone.I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork for Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S.Every time I would load onto stock recovery and reinstalled packages 2 times and it would never load into Clockwork recovery (I tried so many different things to get it to work for about a week).So today I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork again but this time I selected Galaxy S Captivate instead of the Galaxy S vibrant(which is the phone I own).I rebooted into recovery and reinstalled packages twice and it finally booted into Clockwork recovery.I just figured there must be other frustrated people having the same issue so I thought this might be helpful to somebody.
[Vibrant General] pez321:
Is this reliable or was it just a fluke? I'm trying to get CWM on my new vibrant which has kb5 stock rom.

I used superoneclick to root and install busybox, but I have no clockworkmod.

In ROM manager, I select flash clockworkmod recovery. Select Vibrant. It says something like recovery downloaded. Then does nothing.

So I then select reboot into recovery which takes me to stock recovery. I select reinstall packages a few times and nothing happens except the signature failure each time, so then I end up rebooting from there.

Am I going wrong somewhere? I have searched around a bit but haven't got the solution yet. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] regP:
Wait, are you saying you selected the captivate option in rom manager on your VIBRANT?

via LG G2x
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
The problem is, the 3e recovery in our 2.2 roms used different signing keys that haven't been cracked like 2e has. So, you need to replace the recovery file with a fixed one, or odin a voodoo kernel and be done.

Bit this is not the thread on where to discus that.

It would have to be the material used on the lens cover or debris on the lens cover.

Basically, any material between the lens and what it is looking at will degrade the image quality to some extent.

Help me understand what this ROM is.

What I am assuming is that this is an official unbranded/unmodified ROM directly from HTC with no carrier modifications. That means it has no carrier-specific apps? I would imagine this is the best ROM to install for those with unlocked devices or who wish to be rid of any carrier bloatware?

Who gets this update over-the-air? Did they purchase a factory unlocked Incredible S directly from HTC?
