[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
I would like to start helping with development. I'm getting pretty good with messing around with android. I work for T-Mobile and I've had android since the G1.

I'd like to start contributing to the family.

So my question is pretty open. Where should I start for learning about android development? Any advice and help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
Perhaps I should ask in a general forum. Maybe this isn't the correct place to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
What would I need to do if I was to trade this sgs4g for a LG g2x? Trading with a friend not at the store.would we just swap sim cards or what? Reason I'm asking is cause u said u work 4 T-Mobile. Just want to know what I would need to do to put it on my plan and give him mine. Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
You can swap Sims. That's all you need to do. However the warranty will be under him still. If you have insurance, it will cover the G2x. But you wont have the warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] robbbbit:
...back on topic...:-D Dude, im interested as well. Ive done a couple of mods, but nothing really of substance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Thank you. Not sure if im gonna trade but wanted to make sure it would work if I did. Again thanks.

--GINGERBREAD 2.3.3 ON A VORTEX!!--

Ok, its already been discussed in other threads, "why doesn't the 'Scott Pilgrim' ROM work on an LG Vortex?" Actually, it does work... mostly.

(forum.androidcentral(dot)com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/60353-scott-pilgrim-rom-cm7-gingerbread-zefie-edition-current-04282011-a(dot)html)

I'm posting this ROM as a preview, THIS IS NOT A FULLY FUNCTIONAL ROM. It displays roaming in the status bar.

--IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO THE VERIZON NETWORK.--

However, video works, and gives a preview of having 2.3.3 on a Vortex. I hope there is a developer out there that could help with patching/updating this ROM to allow connecting to the network.

PLEASE SEE MY FULL POST, AS WELL AS THE ROM DOWNLOAD HERE:

Thanks for reading, and I hope someone can help with this!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhast2:
i have messed with this and I think you are going to have to mess with the source and compile a different rom

I have a feeling it is hardcoded into the rom

I have changed all the apn settings and it still is in roaming

So I am guessing it has to be edited in the source
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HEYDiGDuG:
Thanks...

Thanks bhast2,

I have been trying to modify the "AndroidManifest xml" that is found in the "framework-res apk" that is in the framework folder. I've read that there may be a connection in that file with the connection settings. Thanks again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bhast2:
i have looked at that

the only thing I found is the eri.xml file

it has some sprint things in it

I changed it to verzion and it didn't change anything

maybe I did it wrong

but the eri has to do with roaming

so it might be the key

it is in the res/xml folder

maybe you can figure it out
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HEYDiGDuG:
Thanks bhast, I'll take a look.

No problem. I'm trying to get this to work on my parents phones, I hope I can help you guys out too. I don't have too much experience but I'll do what I can.

I'm trying to get the source code from the Sprint project and go from there. I got a successful build for my Inc so I'll work backward from that. Hopefully it will just be some simple edits.

Could someone make a free alternative to WidgetLocker? Preferably for the Evo.

I'm kinda surprised there isn't a good one out there. Just wondering if anyone had the know-how and time to make one.
[General Questions and Answers] dagaetch:
dude, you seriously can't afford two dollars to support the creator? I mean it takes these guys a decent amount of time to create these apps, and they put effort into responding to forum feedback...c'mon, skip your morning coffee and say 'thank you'.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Yeah, it's a few bucks. WidgetLocker is top notch, especially with all of the awesome themes out there. If you don't have a credit card, you can use a Visa gift card with the Market/Google Checkout. When you get the card, read the info and find the website used to register the card. When you register the card, make sure you put the correct information as it will need to match your shipping info linked to Google. Then go to buy the app, put the card info and shipping info in the form, and voila! You can now support developers!

[General Questions and Answers] CustomKill:
Yeah, its a wonderful app. So 2 dollar is reasonable and worth it

I agree. Developing an app takes time and dedication. I say, 2 dollars for an app that good is a very great.deal.

Hi everybody,

I'm new here with Xperia X10 mini pro. I'm from Brazil.

2.1 - update1

M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

KERNEL: 2.6.29

VERSION: 2.1.A.0.6

Is there any possibility to use these roms CM6, etc?

What are the steps that i have to do?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] davidh5:
First, you need to root your device

Then you should install Xrecovery and from thta moment you can play with ROMs.

Your baseband and kernel are good
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Makaveli1490:
Rooting does help on the regular one, but does anybody have the 1600 w/root

Is it much better. Worth it for 44 dollars ?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Pithism:
il be honest

i bought it before i rooted, its helped, not that much but maybe a hour extra more depending on what you do with your phone. and after i rooted and tinkered with system settings etc. it's a little better with root than without.

I wouldn't recommend it for $44, if it was less like under 30 then yes, but its not an extreme leap from our stock battery.

If you can find a cheaper price id do it
[Thunderbolt Accessories] facted:
I had this battery on root and it did provide some extra battery life (maybe an hour or two). However, I tried two separate batteries and both of them basically made my GPS useless (would not lock or find any sat's) and that was 100% fixed by putting the stock battery back in.

I just bought the two chicotec batteries w/ charger for $25 from amazon and I'm testing those out. I'll report more in a few days.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Makaveli1490:
Ok thanks for the replies

[Vibrant General] dcaples002:
Hey guys, I was wondering if it's possible to use turn my vibrant memory card into a flashabe USB drive. I'm trying to download things such as Ubuntu and windows 7.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
if you are talking about your internal memory i would highly advise against that, it might be safe but im fairly certain it isnt, now you could turn the external sd into a flashable drive and use the vibrant just to store it but you are better off just buying a cheap 15 dollar thumbdrive from your local electronics store. IMO much safer and less chance of hurting your vibrant.
[Vibrant General] dcaples002:
Ok thanks man. I was literally 5 seconds away from potentially messing up my phone. Ill just use my moms USB stick.
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
I download programs to my Vibrant for storage all the time--Just make sure you do NOT un-zip them while on the phone.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
It is perfectly safe so long as you don't try to flash it on the phone lol ....I use it as a flash drive all the time aswell.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
He's not talking about making it a storage drive. He's talking about messing with embrace and partitioning/formatting stuff, like making a USB windows 7 install drive, or w USB Ubuntu livecd which will mess up your phone trying to do that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief85:
All of a sudden today, my screen turned off after like 4 seconds. I pressed power and it just flashed momentarily and turned off immediately. Every time I pressed power, it did the same thing.

I rebooted. The ASUS startup screen showed fine. Then as soon as it booted in, same thing.

I tried wiping all data, and then rebooted. Same problem.

Since it only does this when booted in, I'm thinking it's a software issue. But how the hell do I fix it if I can't get the screen to do anything more than flash on for less than 1 second?

When I'm plugged in, the screen works fine. I'm so confused...

UPDATE: For some reason, when I turn on automatic brightness, the problem goes away. But the second I turn off auto brightness, the screen immediately shuts off and the problem repeats. And auto brightness keeps the screen on a really low setting.

Urrghhh

After going back, and reading a ton of threads through manual forum-browsing, it seems that I was correct about most other problems being distinction from this.

Anyone have thoughts?

I do search and I am subscribed to other threads that I check daily regarding your same issue. Ill come back to this thread and post the links to those other forums so as to keep the TF general thread from being overpopulated. And even if your problem IS unique its still very closely related to others in the forum link you posted and would still be more appropriate to post there rather than creating another thread.

I have the same exact problem as you and I want it solved just as much as you but I would I also like the ability to easily navigate this forum and that's only possible by keeping related threads from happening.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1ackplague:
For now the only solution seems to be to keep hard resetting your device (hold power for 10+ seconds) several times and keeping a manual brightness. I had to hard reset my device 8 tines before the screwn would stay on. The reason that your backlight is shutting off when you turn AB off is because of where your manual brightness is set and chances are it's set too high which seems to be the common cause. Keep hard resetting your device until manual brightness is allowed then set MB to a lower level. This issue happens on AB as well when in a bright area and it sets the brightness to high on its own.

I wonder if it can be fixed if you use the dock's brightness adjustment keys?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToddW2011:
Hate to jump in you but do you see the inherent contradiction in that statement? If the search tools are adequate then the number of similar threads should not matter as they can sorted by relevance. If they are not, as your desire for single threads suggest, then asking a new person to use them to find an answer is not appropriate as it isn't going to be successful. I've found that the bulk of the posts aren't technical so a search for the appropriate terms is pointless and a simple question is more likely to get results. For example, when calling on webcore, lcd brightness is being set to 0. This is in the logcat I took when testing and I get nothing when searching for it. If I search for 'black screen', I get something.

Let's remember we're here to help each other. Being inclusive and welcoming to newcomers is a much more positive way for us to find results.

Cheers,

Todd.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpalmer98:
I have this problem and the dock is the only way I can get the screen back on. I have to press the auto brightness button then press the power button to get the screen on.

If I manually increase the brightness from 0 in steps I can get to half way but then the screen goes off. Similarly I can reproduce this by using the slider to increase the brightness. I am trying other ROMs to see if I can get rid of this issue but so far it happens on Stock & Paul O'Brian's with full resets on both. sigh.

[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
I mean by calling atnt and having them send you a replacement? I was wondering what model numbers they are shipping and if anyone is having any problems? Ive gotten about 4 replacements in the past 2 months from my local device service center and they all have developed random shutdowns. Ironically my first phone (1009) didnt have a problem but I exchanged it for the gps. And all the replacements had perfect gps but all developed random shutdowns (1008 batches).

I noticed the first random shutdowns on the first few phones would shutdown in my pocket and would turn on normally. My most recent phone is shutting down while charging and the battery needs to be removed. These all all refurbished phones...

So I dont know if I should go to my local store and hopefully they got a new batch or contact atnt via phone and have them ship me one.
