You need to be rooted, than you can change these settings/databases to enable sideloading.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Some great points. Once tested it would be worth posting the details in the GB thread to see if they can be incorporated in the next version. I.e. GB is intentended to be as close to native as possible and I would assume that the network selection and 2g/3g selections are enabled by default. Fun fact for the day is that those options were enabled in early ATT releases and were then disabled. It is also possible to get to them using Anycut, even with them disabled.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Spectre51:
I know I have to be rooted but the change listed in this thread only works after a factory reset. What about a way to enable side loading without having to do that factory reset and without having to use another hack like gladenable?

I am not sure. :-(

Quick question, how are you testing this feature? My guess is this enables the phone to be used as a tetherable device via Bluetooth by enabling the Bluetooth DUN Profile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Dial-up_Networking_Profile_.28DUN.29). However, this is a just a guess at this point, and ultimately, we may find this option does nothing.

How about enabling the "Preferred install location" checkbox under Application Settings? It is there in GladAtrix, which I use, (not sure about GingerBlur) but think it would be good for those that don't want to use a p-rom.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crnkoj:
guys as jjwatmyself nicely wrote, for most of the things to work you have to modify, the parameters in the /system/etc/motorola/ directory on the corresponding settings in the /data/data/ directory. Its pretty straight forward.. just find the proper setting in the /system/etc/motorola/com.desired.setting modify it to your liking than find the com.desired.setting in the /data/data/ dir modify it there and thats it. Some settings are being stored only in the databases in the /data/data/com.random.settings/ so you have to edit them there.

as for the DUN enable, i think you have to edit it in /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db besides tin the /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.mkitso

as already stated backups and so on can **** it up (thats why im always doing stuff with adb to copy the originals to the sdcard and than just modify the originals in the proper locations)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FrostedTreat:
To modify these files are you using ADB or are you using a root explorer to make the changes?

If root explorer, can you recommend a good one to use? :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
Long press in Root Explorer gives you the option to edit a file. This is how you edit a text file using Root Explorer.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] FrostedTreat:
Excellent, I was hesitant to just start editing stuff my own way...figured I would ask before I massively screw something up!

I would tend to agree with you; I have an AT&T Atrix unlocked and using on Softbank network here in Japan. I'm able to get location info with GPS turned off inside subway stations here in Tokyo. The basestations they use inside subway stations here broadcast position info all the time since they its useful for those trying to download train schedule info and more...

I don't seem to have a file called settings.mkitso in that directory anyway.

ye guys about the agps, i live in Slovenia, and the lock is fantastic with the stock agps settings, i tried changing it to google and so on (some time ago already) and it has worsened the lock and accuracy, so ive just put it back to original/left the original after the next sbf.

SUPL_HOST=h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org

[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I completely agree with your comment based on research I conducted easrlier this month http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14523031&postcount=33

It is important to reiterate that h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org is NOT accessible on the public internet, but it IS accisible on AT&T's mobile data network. If you are ROAMING, there MIGHT be reason to use an internet acceislbe server name, but even with ROAMING, it is quite possible that there are peering agreements between providers, i.e. does AT&T peer other provider AGPS server names (DNS) and direct to their own? A simple ping test over mobile data would show this. Does anyone know what the T-mobile USA or Sprint USA AGPS server name is?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Inspiredwire:
Maybe I'm missing something, but I added " agps_feature_enabled=1" to "/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/settings.mkitso" and "Enable Assisted GPS" does not appear (even after reboot).

What am I missing here? Is there another file that needs to be edited?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I have completed a test and can confirm that "Use Wireless Network" check box is "agps and wifi positioning" controlled with one check box. I would argue that the suggested modification to display the AGPS checkbox is legacy feature and unneccasary. Exposing both check boxes in the GUI will most likely get the files out of sync that these check boxes write to. You can confirm that the "Use Wireless Network" check box enables agps by using maps over cellular data (3G required) with GPS and wifi turned off. You'll notice that maps will find your location. This is agps. While we are on the subject, the menu option with the "2G check box", has been replaced with the 'Select network' menu with 2G/3G/Automatic.

I kind of wish that the original posts would be updated as people are being mislead in this thread. The AGPS configuration does not need to be modified. In this situation, the stock settings are already optimized for agps, wifi and gps as well as the optimal server.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mistadman:
jjwatmyself, so based on your detailed testing and the lack of positive confirmation that this even works, I am going to remove the agps setting from the main page. I agree, after extensive testing, I haven't seen any real difference.

Thanks for the feedback!

How do I make SMS Max recipients more then 10?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AnalogXDA:
Do you know of a way to confirm that the files would or wouldn't get out of sync? And, just so that I understand you, have you confirmed that aGPS is always disabled when "Use Wireless Networks" is unchecked, even if "Use GPS Satellites" is checked? Finally, when the hack is in place (all three check boxes are available) and "Use Wireless Networks" is unchecked, can "Use aGPS" be checked, and remain checked, without the user having to agree to let Google collect location data in the background, as s/he would have to do to get "Use Wireless Networks" to work?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
When I use Maps and hit the location peg to find me, "Please enable a My Location source.." displays when both Use GPS and Use Wireless networks are unchecked. The anonymous collection message appears when enabling agps with wifi positioning and if I do not agree it remains unchecked. The third, non default/legacy check mark, which I have not played with (agps by itself) likely enables agps without wifi positioning. It may be that agps with wifi positioning is the basis for building the google official database. I.e. anonymous stats are used in order to keep the database uptodate.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] AnalogXDA:
Does anybody know of a good way to determine whether aGPS is able to be used when "Use Wireless Networks" is unchecked but "Use GPS Satellites" is checked (when the hack is not in place)?

If it can't, and if the "legacy" aGPS option can be checked without requiring the agreement, then it could be argued that the hack is possibly useful...specifically, for users who want to be able to use their carrier's aGPS services without having to use Google's wifi positioning and agree to Google's data harvesting.

Of course, if that is already possible (because, say, toggling GPS already toggles aGPS regardless of the "Wireless Networks" setting), then this is all moot. And there is still the possibility that settings could go out of sync. But I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this hack...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jjwatmyself:
I agree completely with your comment. Regarding settings being in sync or out of sync, because we don't know what field (or file) is updated it would require testing. With the agps option checked, combo agps/wifi unchecked, gps unchecked, and wifi turned off load Maps and see where Google says you are when you press the my location peg. As long as it works, you'll be good. The challenge becomes if you use both settings. I would recomend using ONE OR THE OTHER EXCLUSIVLEY for that reason. Obviously this is only of use for someone who does not want to use wifi based positioning or does not want to accept Google's agreement. Anyway, as I said, I like your write up. Agps definely enables a gps device lock in VERY quickly. Utilizing multiple positioning methods is a good thing. Anyway, we might get booted off this thread if we keep up with AGPSing and nothing new. LOL.

Hello

I want last original rom for xperia x1 and I want R3AA010 Rom for the same device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I'm posting this for informative purposes. This is not to ***** about anything or prove anyone wrong. These are simply my findings and my conclusion. I was a sales person for wireless carriers for 8 years and saw this stuff a lot and I would stress test phones before swapping because I hated giving people refurbished crap for them to come back and complain about the same overheat issue. This experience led me to think before doing a device swap.

my G2x battery got hot from day one. From my monitoring I noticed the following.

1. The phone itself was not really hot. Just general radiation from the immediate battery area and it cooled off quickly after battery removal while battery would stay hot for a good 15-20 minutes.

2. Battery temp would hit 106 degrees.

3. Battery life just plain sucked. Charging it 2 to 3 times a day on light use.

T-mobile replaced my battery and after one full day of on and off abuse running 6 quadrants in a row at Max overclock amongst other things and with a thick non breathable case in the back the temp never got over 99 degrees. Prior to swap just reading and posting on xda would spike temps and that was with no case.

So before you decide to do anything pay close attention to what exactly is getting hot. Is the actual device hot or is it just the battery. Is the device a tad warmer simply due to the battery being too hot? Get a battery monitor installed to see the temp. Check your settings such as overclocking undervoltage etc.

T-Mobile just wanted to swap everything but since my phone was not hot and I had a good screen and never a boot or reboot issue even before root and bloat installed etc so I didn't want to take a chance and get a **** device. They also told me it was OK that k needed to charge it 3 times a day. I said with triple the usage on my G2 I almost never needed to charge it at all mid day. While each device varies, one third the battery life on one third the usage is simply not right no matter how you look at it.

So I say pay attention to detail before returning your device especially if your device is a good one because it would suck to get a **** device in exchange for your good one just because of a battery.

EDIT. I do want to add that my battery has spiked to 103.8 degrees while basically doing CPU intensive stuff While charging the entire time. When not on the charger it did not spike as high. After a short time after charge hit 100% it dropped over 1.5 degrees pretty quickly.

I have a Evo with 3.70.651.1 software. I want to restore everything back to stock and unroot the phone. I have been using the clockworkmod recovery and would like to remove it and flash the stock recovery Back to the phone. I have been searching for 2 days and I can't find it anywhere... I also want to unroot my phone and get it back to stock, the guides that I have found to turn s-off back to s-on seem to be for people who used the unrevoked rooting method. I rooted via the Autoroot method therefore I'm not sure if the same way to unroot applies. How can I get my phone To stock recovery,unrooted, and back to stock without screwing it up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If I'm not mistaken, Autoroot still uses unrevoked forever for nand unlock, so your unrooting method would be the same. Flash s-on zip, then run an RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG through the bootloader.

The stock Evo recovery is no recovery. Unrooting will delete your custom recovery, so you'll be fine.

Good luck!

I don't think Custom Recovery replaces stock recovery, it's more like a shell making recovery user friendly and fully functional.
