Opera/Opera Mobile lets you add extra engines (and search types) to the search bar in the browser. I've added quite a few useful ones that other users might find helpful to the file here: http://pastebin.com/LCjLs2Rs

Directions on how to use it are in the file.

NOTE: You will need opera on the desktop as well until adding searches directly to the phone is fixed. See the note at the end of this post on a workaround for it currently needed until opera or one of us fixes it.

Searches currently added (besides default):

Google/youtube video search (high quality videos only)

Google images (default/2MP/6MP)

Google lucky search (type a term, takes you to the site if it has a match)

Google maps (may not be as useful on the phone obviously)

Google news

Google finance

abbreviation lookup

linux man page search

stack exchange search

hacker news search (http://news.ycombinator.com/)

webster dictionary lookup

php.net function search

duck duck go search engine

ohnorobot comic search

wikiquote search

...more to come whenever

Currently trying to manually add searches on the phone by adding search.ini to /data/data/.com.opera.browser/opera/search.ini in the same format as the desktop version currently does not work. You can hack around that by just using opera link to sync to the desktop version though after adding them there.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Another useful feature if you use both opera desktop and mobile:

https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/opera-to-phone/1.3.4/

Lets you send links to your phone using opera + chrome to phone app

I'm using HD2 with android NAND Rom DL Desire series. Everything works fine but I found that when I tried to install some apps such as Angry Birds, Demon hunt (apps which larger than 10MB), a download icon just show downloading for one second and then disappear (look likes nothing happened).

I have partitioned the SD card into Ext4 and Fat32 follow the instruction. Is there any setting I done wrong?

Thanks for any suggestion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raven_raven:
I don't know if it's the case, but in good ol' days when I had G1 it meant that I shrinked cache partition too much and current build didn't simlink cache to sd-ext or sth like that.

Just check if it's related to /cache.

What about something like Tasker? if it's placed on it's left side turn on GPS location & start navigation?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] psx01:
Mh, its an idea, but if I hold the phone left-sided without the dock, the navigation will start, too. I have no bluetooth in car, so I cannot use this as trigger but I have the original car dock which trigger the device in win mobile.

There Android-native HTC devices have working car modes but the adopted ROMs for the HD2 builds, don't. Shouldn't it be possible to adjust this for de HD2 device?

Unfortunately I have no competences in Android programming, so I don't know how the car mode is handeled and where it could be customized to work with my device :(

How often do you change your HD2 battery? when do you know you need to change it? sorry if this sounded silly!
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Well, Ive had mine since november 09 and never changed it. Still holds a decent charge, probably not quite as much as when it was brand new but cetainly not a noticeable difference.
[HD2 General] cottonpickers:
when to change batts.

Typically a li-ion battery will lose 20% of its capability after one year (even if you don't use it) A few things can influence the exact amount (keeping it always at 100% will speed up the loss, as will high temperatures)

If you really want to know exactly what the loss is.....

Fully charge a battery and remove it. Leave it a few hours or overnight and then use a voltmeter to see what the voltage is. This will tell you how much capacity it has lost.

4.18v -4.2v=100% (ie perfect battery)

4.10v = 87%

4.0v =75%
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I have a an old magician I bought new 8 years ago & still works with original battery.

My touch pro is almost 3 years old & still works fine lasting 2 days on energy ROM with original battery & the same can be said for wifes old Diamond 2 Topaz.

Doing output test & using HTC battery test exe may help determine battery condition if battery is suspected faulty.

My conclusion is a genuine good battery should see over 2 to 3 years use without noticeable performance loss & have a serviceable life beyond 5yrs.

Modern devices such as HD2 which has a small battery & drains a lot of power so may lower the battery lifespan as you will be charging that tiny battery almost twice as often, also current battery material quality may have declined.
[Touch HD General] mmix2000:
I got myself a shiny new droid phone and I am not very impressed with second hand prices for my Touch HD so I came to an idea that I might just strip the device of everything not needed and use it in place of a much pricier dedicated navigation. 800x480 resolution proved to be very nice for nav purposes.

In a nutshell, I dont need voice, nor messaging, nor BT stack, let alone other resource hogs such as Manilla, just an iGo 8.3 I already have and anything that is essential to make it work (OS and GPS?). Preferably, I would like to set it to auto-start iGo when turned on and booted. Also, the device will run without a SIM card insde (just an 8Gb sdcard for app and maps)

I wouldnt even mind replacing a WinMo with WinCE 5/6 if that will do the trick of making the device ultra fast. I imagine I would have to replace the room anyway (currently tuns one of the NRG roms from a year ago)

Any ideas, suggestions? Experiences?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
the easiest way for your project would be:

- flash a stock rom wm6.1 for pure speed

- go to start-settings-(personal)-today-items and uncheck touchflo3d

- install igo (probably it comes with a 2577 folder and will install automatically)

- copy the igo shortcut from \windows\start menu\ to \windows\startup to make it start when the device is started

- while you are there, you might as well delete the shortcut "poutlook" if you don't need any communication

- switch the device to airplane mode (to avoid the dialer popping up telling you the sim card is missing)

personally, i would do nothing more but copy the shortcut to startup. i have never worked with igo, but i guess it is not that slow that you have to jump through a dozen other hoops just to make it run even faster. without removing any software or stripping down the device in any kind, i use it as a full sat-nav with navigon.
[Touch HD General] mmix2000:
Actually, the iGo runs very fast, once it loads. What I am looking to cut mostly is the long cold-boot time, the annoying sim-missing-dial-emergency-only screen, etc, etc. The "phone-to-be-nav" will stay in the car in the glove compartment turned off when not used in order to keep batteries topped up and avoind theft temptation :), when needed I turn it on, hook it up to a holder and to a lighetr-to-USB charger I used before for it. Right now it takes over a minute for me to reach the point of starting iGo and another 15-20 sec for it to start.

I would really prefer going the pure PNA way if possible, so the first question is can I mount WinCE on the Touch HD anyway and retain GPS on top?

If not, what is the skinniest, thinnes, lightest WinMo 6.1 ROM that can be used?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
as mentioned before, the fastest rom is the stock rom, you can find stock roms in the wiki, on htc.com or shipped-roms.com

i just tested the bootup time of my blackstone, it takes 30sec in smart mobility screen, and another 28 sec to fully boot up. i have a lot of stuff installed, and use manila, so if that weren't the case, it might be a little faster.

also, as mentioned before, the annoying sim card missing screen goes away with airplane mode.

i believe, noone has ported wince to the blackstone yet.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomaceo:
I've done everything in my hands, but asking arround I've been told maybe because I bought the phone in China the "Chinese version" doesn´t allow to download apps. Not from the moarket nor from websites. Anybody knows something about this? In that case, what should I do?

thanks!
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B0RI5:
Some Providers block Apps.

Didi You try to flash another Rom on your Handy?

A WWE Version from the Shippedroms Site?

Or custom Rom?

If you try this please dont use a Froyo Rom.

If you have the Chinise Version Your HBoot should be something about 0.83.*

Or do You need the Chinise Language?

If not... root it and choose a nice Custom Rom like PuzzleRom (nice to have Live Wallpapers :) )

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auspony:
Although I am new to rooting the TF I am running a rooted HTC Desire, so am familiar with the rooting process on android. But I have some questions about the concept on the TF:

Is firmware different to standard ROM updates?

Can the ROM, firmware and Radio ROM be updated independently of each other (is there a Radio ROM like on a phone)?

If you root your TF and falsh a custom ROM, do you no longer get the firmware updates from ASUS?

Given how new the TF is and how many problems there still are which need to be fixed by firmware, is it risky to root now and potentially lose firmware updates which fix bugs (eg trackpad/keyboard freezes)?

[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Ok so i've downloaded a live wallpaper called shadow galaxy from the market. Probably one of the nicest wallpapers ive seen but it will literally kill my battery in 8hrs. I mean man...

Shouldn't the wallpaper go into some kind of standby when the screen is off so that it doesnt eat at the battery?

I mean approx 8hrs from 90% to dead and not even touching the phone is nuts. I went to sleep and it was at 7% when i woke up!
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
That's the reason why most people go with the standard wallpapers instead of live ones. It's just not worth it.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Sounds like it was poorly coded. Uninstall the live wallpaper and move on.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
They all do it. Even the bundled.ones in the phone completely rape your battery. I've tried them. No live wallpaper is worth it, imo.

Battery life is the most important than after "does it work?" in a mobile phone/smartphone to me.
[Vibrant General] PDY05:
why do you hate your battery? lol live wallpaper = massive battery drain
[Vibrant General] woodie:
I've used Photile Pro for weeks and my battery doesn't seem to drain any faster than from normal use with a non-Live Wallpaper. Coding does make a difference and not all of them are horrible on your battery.
[Vibrant General] starkiller86:
I used to use solar winds and usually got decent battery life with it. It was the only LWP that wouldn't kill my fone. Give it a try for a few days.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
I use live wallpapers because everytime I turn the screen on my to my phone i jizm almost instantly. I then use the jizm as a screen cleaner. This is why I like to use the live wallpaper!
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
Haven't run into a badly coded LWP in a while, I'm using Flurry Live and it doesn't affect my battery at all
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
You may still get good battery life while using a live wallpaper but there's no doubt you'll get even better without it. Even the best of them still take load on the battery, after all, they're background running apps.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Yep. They use a grid chunk of ram as well... There are no good upside to using them. A pure black background does wonders for your battery though :)
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
I am trying to compile a clean AOSP ROM for my O2X, there is a few things I am having trouble with.

1. What is the significance of overriding the build prop with the following:

PRODUCT_BUILD_PROP_OVERRIDES += PRODUCT_NAME=lge_star BUILD_ID=FRG83G BUILD_DISPLAY_ID=GRJ22 BUILD_FINGERPRINT=lge/lge_star/p990/p990:2.2.2/FRG83G/lgp990-V10b.2ED2ADCFFC:user/release-keys PRIVATE_BUILD_DESC="star-user 2.2.2 FRG83G 2ED2ADCFFC release-keys"

Clearly its used for something, else CM7 wouldn't be doing it.

2. When I try to boot the compiled system (using either CM or EternityProject kernel), it simply stops at the LG logo, no logcat, no dmsg, nothing and after a while it reboots. What could I be missing?

I am using the init.rc from the CM7 p990 source, do I need some extra modules for it to boot? (I have added busybox and bash)

Tips on how I could debug the issue would be appreciated (any additional logs?).
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
I've managed to get froyo building and running from source (I used the nvidia branch and merged 2.2.2 myself)

I just used the stock LG kernel though

Got almost everything but gave up because it was a huge pain in the ass

You dont really need those

Are you trying to create the device tree yourself?
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
Yea I am trying to create a device tree that will make AOSP compile and run. Its compiling just fine and it uses bits from the CyanogenMod device tree. The problem is that it wont run, it gives me no logcat output at all.

Here is the p990.mk:

http://pastebin.com/SxUZZDau

The boardconfig and proprietaries are identical to CM7. (Merged star-common and p990 configs since I have no use for p999)
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
Try using the stock kernel + init.rc - that is just use the boot image from modaco for now

You should be able to adb shell into it and check dmesg to see what's going on
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
Same problem, no dmsg or logcat.

Im gonna start from scratch now :D
[LG Optimus 2x] L10nH34Rt:
About your first question (and sb correct me if I'm wrong), its just for market stuff to show up on the device, whilst making About>System display GRJ22 etc. etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
That would make it rather useless :D
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
Also you HAVE to check out the code from nvidia because the tegra2 has a bug in the CPU and their code base has a work around for it :) if you don't the dynamic linker doesn't work and you'll find every executable will segfault ( when you flash your system image from recovery try and go into system/bin and run. /ls for example)

In the board configuration you'll notice a HAVE_TRGRA something or rather line

check out bionic that's where that fix is applied :)
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
Im gonna try to build using the 2.3.3 gingerbread-tegra source from nvidia :)

EDIT: Same problem, when running something i get "Segmentation fault". I am using the gingerbread-tegra source from nvidia :S

I have the following in BoardConfig.mk:

TARGET_HAVE_TEGRA_ERRATA_657451 := true

Busybox is working fine though :/
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
Shouldn't the source from nvidia allow me to execute the compiled binaries without giving segmentation fault? :D

The funny thing is that busybox is working, and I can access dmesg through busybox.
[LG Optimus 2x] L10nH34Rt:
It wouldn't if you couldn't access the market now would it? :D
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
I'd rather have it boot atm.

Still same problem even though I have moved to the gingerbread-tegra source :(
[LG Optimus 2x] L10nH34Rt:
IMHO its a wasted effort. You'll have trouble getting camera/hdmi etc.etc to work... Just clone CM repo and cherry-pick from there.
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
For starters I don't care about camera or hdmi, I want a clean AOSP rom - CM is great, but it includes too many extra features for my taste.
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
Are you sure you checked out the tegra branch from nvidia? gingerbread-tegra?

I could only get froyo to boot myself - gingerbread would crash inside surfaceflinger with the froyo graphics libraries. I think the cygonenmod guys had access to leaked gingerbread libraries.
[LG Optimus 2x] Homer314:
Hi guys, where i can find sources from nvidia ? I only found the kernel git...

Thank's
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
I am sure and I am using the leaked libraries too. Anything else i can try?
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
If all the executables are seg faulting then you won't even get to logcat and the shell won't run unfortunately.

Try this...

find all the blocks of code in the source that have the #ifdef HAVE_TEGRA..ERRATA

and remove them

That way you'll definitely know that its compiling that section of the code. That has to work :)
[LG Optimus 2x] KernelCrap:
Will try that once I get home later today :)
