[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloak.n.dagger:
Just wondering if anyone has tried the Xoom BT keyboard on any of the AOSP ROMs? Specifically, do all or any of the Android shortcut keys work? Or would I be better off spending less money on a generic Windows BT Keyboard?

Here is the KB I am referring to...

http://www.walmart.com/ip/MOTOROLA-89451N/15779800
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloak.n.dagger:
I guess I'll answer my own question, more to provide information for others. I went to Fry's today and picked up one of these keyboards and was very happy to see it working with Decks Gingerbread ROM. There are some hotkeys not working right, but for the most part this this is awesome. A co-worker went with me and bought one for his Xoom and it works great on that as well! Here is a list of things that aren't working (so far).

- Menu button does not bring up the menu (but fn + F1 does).

- Things get weird in landscape mode:

-- Left/Right arrows perform Up/Down operation and Up/Down arrows perform Left/Right operations.

- Hot key for launching Google Music App (when it's set as default) fc's every time (but app does launch manually).

- When in the browser, you have to use the Search button to type in a URL (there is no way to navigate or arrow to the URL entry box).

- Seems to work much better in portrait mode.

- Have to use arrows to navigate from text box to text box, the tab key does not tab like it does in Windows.

I would love to see an app that would allow you to remap the keys, but haven't found anything in the market for this. If you know of something that would help in this regard, please post a reply.

I previously connected a Dell BT Mouse and got that working perfectly, so I can't wait to get home and use the mouse and the KB together. I am also going to try out the HDMI mirroring and see how well this will preform as a stand alone console. If any one is interested in the outcome, reply to this thread. Otherwise I'll just let it die off slowly...

Seeing that this phone didn't cone with a led notification is it possible to get the back lights for capcitive buttons to light up as if they were leds just like for the sgs phones? Just wondering haven't seen it mentioned here and I'm sure lots of people would like this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DECIM8:
Search button........ http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=73133201

Searched "LED notification" and found 5 posts with exactly the same question.... and answers.

There has even been a post on the portal about hardware modding a dedicated LED into the front of the phone.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/adding-an-external-notification-light-to-the-optimus-v/

The short answer... "lg o2x touch led notification" from the android market. Works great for me.

hi i want to add a custom icon but i dont want the background with it , i have attached the icon , i dont want the white background just the 3 symbol . is there an app to do this as i cant use gimp fireworks etc to save my life

you cant see white box bacground on here but you can on the phone
[Desire General] michaeljen:
Open the icon in an image editor that supports layers (GIMP) and remove the white background and save it as .png :)

EDIT: You already tried that I see now :p
[Desire General] madcr0w:
You can use photoshop and then copy the image to your clipboard, start a new file with a transparent background, paste the image, then use the magicwand to select the white bg and hit delete.

There is probably an easier way but I'm no PS pro.
[Desire General] adz63:
lol i still cant do it lol
[Desire General] DesUKire:
ADW Launcher enables you to modify icons to your preference. I currently have froyo installed but with a gingerbread theme and it looks cool
[Desire General] adz63:
yes but it does not remove backgrounds from png's , jpegs etc
[Desire General] hudl:
Hey mate - take this one.
[Desire General] adz63:
Thanks alot mate, just what I wanted

Hello,

I recently received a notification about an update, but something went wrong during this process.. here some pictures..

If you rooted your phone you are not able to install the update...

2 Scenarios:

If you haven't rooted your phone and the update failed, you can try removing battery and placing it back in...if that doesnt work I would boot into recovery mode; using the volume down key and power button when the phone is shutoff and restore phone back to factory settings

If you are rooted, I would advise you to reboot into clockwork mod recovery and wipe your system and cache...and flash the stock htc ROM...wich is in this link...

Hey everyone,

just woundering if there is a way that something like this could be made for our DHD

This was made for the HD2:

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Ghaztehschmexeh:
I believe the app "vignette" has the ability to enable this feature, if you don't mind switching programs.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] shantu:
There is an app called volume key camera

xxx .androidzoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/volume-key-camera_pffj.html

but kept getting FC :mad:, and have moved to camera 360, in which I can take pict by touching the screen itself :p
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ceck_01:
I found the best app for it and have been using it for a while now and very happy with it. It's called "pro capture". Hope this helps if anyone else is looking for one

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] -Alaa-:
in Cyanogenmod In the camera app you can use the volume buttons to zoom in and out also to make the search button capture pictures
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] todortk:
It's too bad that the DHD doesn't have a camera button.

In fact I would wish to have something that turns the camera app on when pressed and takes a picture on long press for example.

The volume keys are good to some extent but not enough and will never replace the real camera button functionality.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] chilli16:
power button idea

wonder if anyone could make power button as camera :p
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Randles:
I like the idea of using the volumes keys for zoom, that sound cool :cool:
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Maxstate:
I just finished replacing my volume rocker after it simply fell off following normal usage. I personally would not want to suggest doing anything which would make you use the key more. It's quite flimsy. Definitely the weak point in the design.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dan1j3l:
After a long time it's a moment to realease HTC HD2 ToolBox app with HBL. Small app that will allow you to boot linux inside android, and display everything on screen or through VNC connection. ToolBox app is also redesigned and added some new functions.

In pack is barebone debian distro with xfce4 interface.

There is also posibility that this app and HBL will work on other phones like leo (desire, nexus one ...)

Everything else you need to know is in Readme file.

Bug reports or suggestions on this thread, i'll answer when i'll get some time.

Enjoy !!!

EDIT: I added Readme file to this post so lazy people can read everything before downloading pack, or asking silly questions! :p

EDIT 2: I'm currently working on support for sdcard roms and other non-working builds. Also i would like to mention that is possible to run ANY linux distro with HBL (with some modifications) or even to run another android rom!

So consider this early versions only as "technology preview", more support and bug-fixes in next few days...

P.S Thank you all for your support ! :)

hi

can i boot ubuntu with it?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] alltome:
hi first big thanks for your hard work.

now i need some help to get linux running from HBL.

i´m using kingdom sense3 rom from dungphp.

i installed hd2 toolbox and copied linux folder to root of sd card.

i installed HBL (Busybos is installed in version 1.19.x.x) i took rootexplorer and give /system/bin/ write permissions for owner/groups/others.

But i need initd support: what i have to do to get this?? or is it on my rom?

please help cause at the moment i´ve bootloops everytime i want to boot linux.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] diesburg:
Thank's a lot for this! I've been waiting for this for for a while!!!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] diesburg:
So if I understand this right.... which I don't think I did at first..... this is basically the same thing as booting ubuntu and connecting to it with vnc, the ubuntu that is in another thread.... i ask because what I am looking for is usb host support.... which I don't believe is possible with the other ubuntu that boots in android.... and I think if I undestand this right... is not possible with this one either......i do appreciate the work done on this app a lot.... but to me, it's useless unless usbhost is supported because of tiny menus and buttons not being easily clickable with fingers..... so I want to use my wireless mouse that has a usb receiever......

edit: download finally finished, I tried it out.... I really like it, couple questions.... is it normal for shutdown not to work? I chose to boot and show on local screen instead of vnc..... when I did that, it started fine, I messed around a little, then tried to shutdown... it said shutdown command failed or something similar.... then rebooted android..... and when you choose to boot on local screen, is this kicking android out so it's only linux, kind of like haret and booting android from winmo off sd? And last, is it possible for usbhost?

Edit2: I could barely see the text at the bottom of the hotboot screen that says to use log out feature to return to android... I did that instead of shutdown, there were no errors and it went to my android boot animation, then booted back to android just fine.....
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Ramidalf:
Its working well. Thanks .I have the same question as Diesburg does. One more how to make right click.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dan1j3l:
HBL actually shuts down all android processes (except init and some critical ones) and then switches to linux. It's normal for shutdown not to work right now, in future it will work but for now use log out to exit from linux. :) USB Host support for now is not possible without modified kernel, but i'm working on custom kernel with usb-host/normal mode switching.

I must admit i didn't have much time to work on this project so many things can be improved, and i hope in fallowing days/weeks i will have much needed time to work on it. So everything is still a "prototype"! :)

@alltome

99.99% of custom roms have init.d support, just check if you have init.d directory in /etc.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Hi managed to install HBL but when I try to start linux using local screen the screen just hangs on "loading linux..." for ages. Tried vnc but doesn't work either. it doesn't seem to start shutting down android because if I press hardkey back button the phone is normal.

tried changing "writtable" statuses on the mount screen, but no joy. Is this what you mean by " writable /system/bin folder", or must I use rootexplorer?

Many thanks

Hello dan1j3l First of all I'd like to Thank you for your hard work and this cool app which has great potential... :D

now that being said, I'm also having some troubles :confused: like stated above from other users i managed to install HBL (i think, cause i got the success message when clicking install HBL) but when I try to start linux using local screen, the screen just hangs on "loading/booting linux..."

Below i attached the output from commands on adb shell

For SD-Builds you will have to put the files in SDCard/[AndroidDir]/root/system/[WhateverPath] ;)

It will get copied to system.img partition from there on reboot.

directly writing to system however, is not supported. ;)

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] huggs:
Works pretty good. To all having the reboot problem, keep trying. It took me a couple reboots before it worked, but it did work. Very basic Debian OS, a little slow, but this is the first time since I went NAND Android that I've had Linux running on my HD2 :D

Thank you dan1j3l !!!

You think you could make the Toolbox app work to run the Ubuntu.sh script in this thread:

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] diesburg:
Not for this thread, off topic. Go ask that in Q&A. If you see no benefit to having linux on your phone then just don't use it. I'm interested in hearing what the thread is about... this app.... and not having to go through pages of peoples explanation of why this is/isn't useful to them......
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Gab00:
can this app take me into the bootloader?

ty
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] huggs:
no, to get into bootloader, hold the 'volume down' button down while your phone is booting up. Dont let go of the button til you see the tri-color screen, thats the bootloader screen.

The HBL (Hard BootLoader) in this app is to boot a linux image from your sd card while running Android
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Knucklessg1:
Is this considered a beta for the linux OS? Some of the features didn't work, and it also seemed that the resolution was a bit off? I couldn't change the orientation of the screen either. But so far it was really nice, i like it alot! can't wait for more!

If you get two vibrations then, reboot of android (from the boot animation), you just need to update your busybox (mine was 1.16 (Pongster's HyperDroid GBX v12) and now with the last 1.19, it work fine) :)

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] dan1j3l:
For all ppl with bugs: It's important to have properly rooted build (with superuser apk) and to allow su privileges to ToolBox app. Also it's recommended to have newer busysbox installed.
