I have abt 700 standard size photos in the gallery, no lag. On the other hand bluetooth Dial up networking (bluethooth tethering) function is lost. Pc doesn't install the bluetooth peripheral device (bluetooth modem). Anyone else noted it in the official 2.2 for India

Downgrade from Nandroid of India rom

Hi,

I just have 2 questions.. If I'm coming from 2.1 (nandroid backed up) and restore a nandroid backup of this 2.2 official ROM, will I be able to go back to the nandroid backup of the 2.1 ROM? AND Can I just install the nandroid of this 2.2 rom from 2.1?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
u need to use fixed sbf to use with nandroid
[Defy Android Development] yudhistre:
Thanks,

But do you suggest flashing from 2.1 to 2.2 from the SBF or the nandroid backup?

Regards

thanks, fixed sbf link earlier is not working.

Limited beta Update for India??

hi, today I noticed that the country selector link for MSU does not display MOTDefy under India.

It was selectable till yesterday, but today it only shows selection for below 3 Milestone models:

MILESTONE

Milestone XT720

Milestone XT800

(I checked for Singapore. MotoDefy was selectable, but for Malaysia & Indonesia there was only Milestone models)

So does that mean that the Froyo was released just for testing? Same thing was done for USA guys as well. Moto released Froyo for limited period, took update & suggestions from users through forums & then released it officially after almost 2Months.

Is this what is happening here?

Anyone from motorola on this forum (unofficially?)

When is the actual/ Final release date for India?

(Its still showing Planned in Q2 for APAC reason)
[Defy Android Development] kirpeace:
in my phone whole battery goes done without using it within hours. i think they removed the sea-15 update
[Defy Android Development] forthe:
Ya they pulled off the defy update for india. May be because of some last min bugs. I updated in the window period and doesn't notice any noticeable performance enhancement. Quadrant increased from 1100 to 1200. But actual use has shone some lag, e.g air attack hd sometimes lags which wasn't there on 2.1. Battery life seems equivalent, only that i have less control over applications autostart and force close, had to uninstall some apps like du meter which refused to force close. Sometimes cpu use goes 100% for mins draining battery without any obvious cause. Lost bluetooth tethering. Only thing better are some visual enhancement and better apps compatibility.

Hey guys I have used WidgetLocker for awhile and just recently read about pushing an edited png of the wallpaper you want to the data files for WidgetLocker. This is supposed to cut down on the cpu usage because of the way that WidgetLocker works. Can anyone make a recommendation as to how I need to go about editing the background I want to a png?

[General Questions and Answers] frenchie007:
this probably isnt the best question but does setcpu close itself after a while? because i noticed that if i leave my phone alone for a while or dont open the setcpu app for a while, when i open it again, the toast notification pops up telling me of how setcpu acquired root permissions. does this mean that the overclock only works for a short amount of time or somethin? what does this mean
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybernevets:
I have a WiFi only SGT (P1010) and an AT&T SGT. HBO Go and XM do not work on the WiFi only SGT. Is this an intentional part of the application design? Do they try to use the IMEI number to uniquely identify something?

I plan to buy the WiFi only version of the SGT 8.9, but I'm concerned that the XM app won't work on it. I listen to XM at work.

Thanks in advance.

having friends who are deaf i understand the video concept. also take a look at the infuse on att I hear the videos pretty good and the battery life good also but I do love the streak and the video OK but can be choppy.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fone_fanatic:
to be honest with you I wouldn't recommend it if your mainly going to video chat. yes the apps are there to do so but the front facing camera on the streak is very dark. I've tested it out in medium light conditions with other devices side by side and you can barely see your face from the streak as opposed to other the other one.

my little brother is considering the infuse 4g and will probably get it this week. if your still in the market I'll take a side by side pic of both during a video chat so you can see what i'm talking about.

Download | Change Log | FAQ

Limitations and Shortfalls

1) Have to split via the current month – Needs to be edited every month or use 12 IF variables.

2) Gets current location – may not be where you’re departing from! Need to look at including departure location in 'where' field.

3) A profile cannot currently be triggered by %VARIABLE = %TIME. Pleaded with Tasker Dev.

4) Incoming *meeting* SMS will overwrite the previous data & the widget details. Need some kind of loop to avoid overwriting.

5) Buffer time - didn't include the fact that you may want to leave 15 minutes or so spare...

6) MT widget only receives *meeting* entries. Need to get non-meeting entries into the calendar for a useful widget.

7) Time in seconds until the departure time does not consider days. Python script required to convert date from XML feed format:

'Wed Jun 1, 2011' to '5-30-11' (which is %DATE %TIME). Any volunteers?! :eek:

FAQ

Q) I just want to use the calendar widget only. Can I do that?

A) Yes, there's a separate download below.

Q) I have many other Tasker questions, can I post them here??

A) To avoid clutter, probably best to use this official Google group

Q) Where can I learn more about Tasker?

A) The manual and Profiles and step-throughs on the Tasker wiki and you’ll be up to speed in no time.

Change Log

V2

* Calendar provides default alarm 'buffer time' to navigation start.
* Renamed most tasks
* More intelligent tasks to handle multiple 'meeting' event.

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Any testers and feedback appreciated! :)
[Android Apps and Games] richardkemp:
Sweet, thanks for sharing, I will have a good hunt through this later when I have a moment.

I used to have something similar set up by using google apps script to make a publicly accessible spreadsheet containing my calendar entires, and download that spreadsheet (as a csv) using tasker. Unfortunately this stopped working when Google forced the use of https on all Docs, as neither Tasker nor any other way I could find to do it (I tried curl and wget) would allow https. Any suggestions for this? I would prefer not to use the sms version you mention so as not to clog up my inbox. Another way that almost works is getting the daily email agenda google offers, except Tasker can't access email bodies (only subjects, grr).

I was half considering writing some sort of app to make future calendar data accessible easily to tasker. I may do this over summer.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I had a quick google on your suggestion and came up with a couple of applications here and here. You've also got me thinking that I must be able to pull a queried RSS feed from the calendar that would support the 'widgets' on the iGoogle home page for example. I'll dig a little further into this, as same with you, I failed when first looking at the 5am agenda email.

EDIT: Your prompting has lead me to this page which has resulted in me being able to get a private url of my agenda in xml or html output! Thank you! Looks like I have another evening of variable splits in front of me.....

I've heard a few people screaming out for task and agenda synchronisation from outlook without exchange server use. I don't know if someone has cracked this yet, but a CSV export would surely be pretty easy to convert?

Let me know it works folks!
[Android Apps and Games] richardkemp:
Glad to have helped in some small way! Also incredibly grateful you actually found a way to make this work, once my exams are over I'll get on it and adapt this to my needs :D

As a suggestion for further uses for this calendar data, what I use it for is automatically setting the time I need to wake in the mornings. Basically, when I go to sleep I run a task which dims the screen, quiets the phone, etc etc. It also sets my alarm time to 7 hours in the future, *or two hours before my first appointment of the day*, whichever is sooner. Currently this uses a series of alarm profiles/tasks in Tasker, but I switch to Gentle Alarm when Tasker support works.

Again, when exams are over I'll (possibly) write up my 'Alarm in Tasker' solution and post here, with comments on how to integrate with your calendar stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
You certainly gave me a nudge in the right direction!

I'll look forward to your write up and interested to see how you get the alarm to trigger. Good luck in your exams! :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Jufis:
Seems like the download for calendar only is 0 bytes. At least for me. I tried 5 times :(
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I've just tried and the file won't open for me either. Strange... Thanks for letting me know, I'll repost later when I have access to the files.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Replaced the download - should work now. Thanks again for letting me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] richardkemp:
The alarm trigger is a bit hackish.. basically there's two profiles, one runs each hour if the night variable is set, splits %TIME and checks if %TIME1 matches %ALARMHOUR. If so, it turns on another profile which runs every 5 mins, doing a similar thing to check if %TIME2 is greater than %ALARMMINUTES. If true, turn off profile and run the alarm task.

Prior to that version I was using another little trick Pent recommended me (not quite as good though), I had a profile with the context %TIME > %ALARMTIME, but obviously it didn't check the variables and didn't fire. TO solve this there was another profile which every 15 mins (when %NIGHT is set) would set %ALARMTIME to %ALARMTIME. Apparently re-setting the variable like that triggers the check. The first one I mentioned is a bit more efficient. I have considered switching to using calendar event based triggering, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me how I could edit the alarm event's time once set, short of literally editing the event on the calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] fragargon:
hi Brandall,

already read me elsewhere isn't it? ;)

so I can tell that it works about var and MT but... as i am franch speaking and so GC is french xml tags are to be corrected on splitting task ... where - event status and so one... CEST instead BST for continental (gmt+1)

Also as mentionned early in that thread should use some convenience fullfiling the appointment so could easly to get splitting process....

i'm actually on it .

I stay tuned as soon as it is corrected for french speaking I would give back report about mod I have done...

tks a lot very good way to learn how splitting process works ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Not too hackish! I like it... Hadn't thought of doing that - At worst it triggers the alarm a few minutes late, and doesn't use an additional calendar entry... I'm really hoping the next release will have the context %VAR = %TIME...

I prefer what you've done to using a calendar entry - It felt messy doing that, although I suppose it can have the appointment title, destination time etc etc in...

Either i'm a complete muppet or there isn't a way to get firmware updates to my sgs2 because i have a mac. kies mini doesn't work. does anybody have any ideas?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickliq:
So far Bootcamp has proven the only way. I know it doesn't work under Parallels (which requires Windows as well...so either way you're stuck). Of course you could always resort to borrowing a friend's Windows PC.

This thread

How ever i highly encourage you to read, read, read and read some more. There is a lot of information out there on rooting phones. The benefits of doing it, and the warnings that follow suit. You can increase the ability of your phone exponentiationly [if that is even a word] or make it a 500 paper weight.

I saw this game in the market, looks awesome, but I read a review that it's incompatible with the g2x. My question is, does modern combat 2 work on this phone. I really want to buy it.Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Carloswithac:
Not on CM7. Get Samurai Revenge II. Awesome game!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really want Modern Combat 2. I didn't root, and am running on stock. I'm assuming CM7 is a modified ROM. Would Modern Combat 2 run on stock G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Gameloft.com it works. And buy 1get 1 free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Oh really? But do I have to go to Gameloft.com? I wanna do it from the android market from my phone. Is the one from the market compatible and do you have the game? thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Oh yeah I got it. Works great from gameloft.com I didn't buy it from the market because I wanted the free game.

Its a cool game. I also picked up eternal legacy.

Both for 1 price. Gotta love that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
I tried buying out from the game loft site but had technical difficulties so I just bought our from the market.any way it works although I bought out because of the gyro controls.how am io suppose to enable it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
i would suggest anyone looking for gameloft titles to go the gameloft.com FROM YOUR PHONE. you can 1)charge to your phone bill 2) there's a buy one get one free sale 3) if you buy via the sale... they're cheaper than buying regular (ie.. buy NOVA standalone is 4.99.. purchase on sale it's 2.99 PLUS a free game). I spet 12 bux and got a ton of great games that all work on the g2x. BUY THESE GAMES. Support gameloft so they can stop being punks and GO INTO THE MARKET FULLY.

<<< now awaiting the arrival of Order and Choas and 9mm. My days are getting longer...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vegito168:
That sounds great and all........but what about for us addicted with flashing ROMs. My experience with Gameloft.com in the past, is as soon as I switched ROMs I could no longer use the game because it was purchased under the previous ROM. I don't know if things changed, but it seemed Gameloft used to have their games on lock down pretty well before. If things have changed and we can use the same .apk throughout multiple ROM swithches, then sweet I'll be all over it. So let me know if anyone has tried purchasing these games off of Gameloft.com and tried using them after flashing different ROMs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
I use titanium backup to restore em.. no problems what so ever chief. I just flashed back from CM7 (2.3) to stock today.. picked up right where I left off.

Also make sure you keep you're APKs in case you need to reinstall. secondly.. i read somewhere yesterday (and tested it) Gameloft lets you redownload apps as long as you can log back in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vegito168:
Sweetness!!! :D That sounds awesome. Guess now that I think about it I never used TiBu in the past to restore my games because I used to have problems in the past. This was from my N1 times. LOL! Ok, though, thanks a lot for your response, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
just remember if you switch from stock to cm you have to copy the gameloft directory over. (needs to be on external sd for CM7 and internal memory for stock).

EDIT: also.. i tried downloading some games I purchased on my G2 and got a "this is not an orginal.. bla bla bla" error. Hopefully they're working on it.. doesn't look like "cross device" installs will work. they're still device specific.. but cross roms is works with titanium
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea btate sometimes when i switch roms i go to titanium to restore some of my games n i get the error ur talkin about
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
really? that's odd.. i just flashed CM7 again and restored via titan and all is peachy (wanted to fact check so I didn't mislead anyone). However reinstalling with the APK.. that's a problem. Titanium solved that issue for me.

which games were you trying to run? i darn near have them all so maybe that issue could be game specific? (i didn't run each one. just spot checked 2 of them)

Also.. make sure you're copying your gameloft directory to the right place.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vegito168:
Ah ok good stuff. Yeah I remember the games always making a Gameloft directory folder on the external sd. I'll remember to copy it over. Right now I'm on EB1.0.4FR, so I'm still pretty much on stock ROM. But yeah, I can understand when you try to play a game you downloaded for a previous model phone on your new phone that it gives you that bullcrap error. BAH!!! Oh well! Hopefully they fix it, but I won't get my hopes up. LOL!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
nova and nfs shift and sometimes it says something about a copy???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
were they originally purchased on the G2X? like i said.. i can't get any of the games I purchased on other hardware to run.. but I can anything I purchased on teh G2X over different roms... at least starfront is working. I am starting to have a sinking feeling that I should just insert foot to mouth. i'm going to switch back to stock momentarily and double check this. oy vey.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sistum Id:
This is why I refuse to buy games from Gameloft.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
just confirmed. starfront DEFINITELY works across different roms. restored from backup on CM7... played fine.. just went back to a nandoid stock rom.. playing now.. picked up right where I left off. mileage varies i guess
