[Defy General] schnappyAU:
Hi,

I'm wanting to know if I can get Swype installed on my Defy? I can find it easily, but not for the Defy's unique higher-than-average screen res. Considering MotoBlur that comes with the phone has it, I'm not inclined to pay for it.

Also on CM7 (Nightly build from about 3 days ago), GPS does not work. I tried some 'GPS Status' type apps from the market, they all crashed on launch. I have GPS enabled, in Maps it asks me to enable location'ing... I have to use Wireless locating to get it to work - it does not detect an enabled GPS. However on MotoBlur it did work... other's don't appear to be complaining about this?

When I first installed CM7, I flashed the rom, then attempted to apply GApps from the CM website - didn't work (Failed to read the GApps bit on Defy CM7 page :( ), so I just reflashed CM7. Then GApps appeared!? It's odd... feels 'unclean' so to speak, I might do a wipe then flash.

Also a bit confused about sbf's. I fail to see their important to ROM's... I originally tried to install Pay's Froyo, but had issues so just went for CM7. I flashed the sbf in the Pay's thread, "3.4.2-164 Motorola SBF". Is this a problem?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943258

(I know these should be in the CM7 thread, but the 10-posts-till-posting-in-dev section rule is a bit silly - especially given the nature of the content in the CM7 Defy thread)

Any input would be appreciated,

Thanks.

Edit: So all this is answered in the CM7 OP now. nvm >.>

As I understand BusyBox - The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux, it is a wrapper around a subset of command programs in the GNU Core Utilities and it uses the Ash shell.

Since BusyBox was created in 1996 mobile devices have become much more powerful. So why not provide the full GNU Core Utilities for Android as they come in a standard Linux?

Full GNU Core Utilities with bash as the default shell would be perfect to have on Android.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigSidfromLaramie:
I got my Transformer last night, plugged it in for 8 hours, then started configuration. No dock yet. I discovered I have misplaced my password for my wireless. Set it about 6 years ago. So I will call Belkin this week to see if it can be recovered or if I need to reset. But would prefer not to since it works perfectly with my computer. Thus, I deferred setting up any WiFi while doing initial configuring. When screen first came up, was "normal" as per pictures of same. However, it powered off after several seconds. When I powered on, I saw the visual "Lock" plus the words showing no WiFi connection. The apps were also gone! My day/time setting was correct, but no weather since no WiFi. There were no buttons on the lower screen other than a no bars and a blue light with the words "No Internet connection." I tried 1] changing orientation several times and 2] powering down, waiting a minute, the powering on. Same problem. Even if I can get my wireless password back, or get a new one, how can I gain access to my configuration settings to input same? I just had a thought: I will go to a local coffee place w/Transformer and see if their WiFi connection works. I'll report back on that. Thanks in advance for any responses. I feel pretty stupid about this. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigSidfromLaramie:
I just came back from Stir Crazy. Coffee was good but I went crazy. :) I clicked on the padlock icon. For a few seconds the concentric circles expanded and contracted. I assumed the Transformer would pick up the local WiFi signal and take me to the appropriate screen, where I could then enter the password. Wrong! Nothing. Went right back to locked screen presentation with no applications showing. I should note that when I went through the initial configurations, I saw my local "Sid" home network showing, but when I realized I did not have the password for same, I hit "Skip." The Transformer clearly noted that you could enter your password later in the Configuration settings. However, the unfortunate result of doing this is that I can not figure out how to get to my configuration settings at all. I noticed there is another thread here regarding a blank screen, which problem may/may not be resolved by draining the battery and trying once again. One problem I have is that the screen blanks out after around 20 seconds or so. How long will it take for my battery to totally drain? What I might try tomorrow is to run my Transformer directly from a power strip. But I seriously doubt that this will resolve the problem, since I do not have a blank screen issue.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] BigSidfromLaramie:
Thank you, Johan!!! Your suggestion worked. I knew it had to be something totally stupid on my part due to my complete lack of familiarity with both a tablet and this type of operating system. I also confess I refused to asked my grandson! :) Of course, my daughter and her family all use an unnamed competitor's products. But I am bound and determined to get the hang of this Transformer so I can surprise them with it the next time I am over. Thanks again. Now off to a local Barnes and Noble to check out the wireless. OFF TOPIC: Listening to that lovely guitar piece. Set it to repeat. As per other commentators, no left speaker unless I use headphones; then both speakers. Sound quality is apparently fine. No hiss, rumble, snap, crackle or pop.
[Nook Color General] RChadwick:
I'm running CM7.0.3 on my Nook Color, and I'm at the point I need iptables support. I'm surprised CM doesn't support it, but it's apparently so. Does anyone know of a decent ROM (Preferably with Bluetooth) that supports iptables? Do I have to go back to my original ROM?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estugarda:
Hello,

Firs of all I apologize if there is a similar post on the forums. It sure looks like one of those common ones. I couldn't find it, so I am asking here.

I have a problem with importing photos for contacts. To be more preceise, I can't import any. In Contacts, when I go to Contact>Edit>Phone contact Icon I get a menu with 3 choices; Camera roll, Camera, and Pictures. Pressing Camera Roll and Pictures does nothing. Nothing happens. Pressing Camera gets me to Camera.

On my X10i I'm using stock 2.1 ROM:

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: 2.1.54

Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1

Build Number: 2.1.A.0.435

I rooted my phone, and I removed Timescape, and some other bloatware from thet list of "few steps to speed up x10".

Everything else except for importing contact photos works fine on my phone.

I imported my Contacts via Android Sync applications from Outlook. Unfortunately Android Sync doesn't import photos automatically. I do not use Google Account sync, or whatever it is called.

Any ideas how to fix this?

[Touch HD General] alfie169:
Hi Guys

Just after a bit of help with a touch HD I bought, its running win 6.5 professional running HTC Sense. I would like to take the system back to OEM HTC spec with win 6.1, before posting I have sent time trawling the site but cannot see the wood for the trees so to speak. Would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction

Cheers

Paul
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
hi and welcome to the forum (as an active user ;)).

i can understand that all the information here seems a lot at first and there are abbreviations and big words and beginners have trouble finding tutorials for the tutorials. so let's keep this simple:

enter bootloader mode. this is done by completely shutting off the device, then pressing volume down while tapping the power button. you should see a 4 colored screen with some basic information about your device.

post here, what the 2nd line says. for flashing the device it should be 1.56Olinex. then we'll continue the process from there.

p.s. to exit bootloader mode, just soft reset the device using the red pin on the back. that way, you can still use your phone.
[Touch HD General] alfie169:
Hi Tony

Thanks alot, you're a great help.

Here you go second line is "SPL-1.56.01iNex

Hope this helps.

My PDA has win 6.5 and HTC sense and it all makes it run rather slow so want to either delete or turn off sense or return the whole running system back to OEM standard Win 6.1.

Whilst I'm here it would also be great to be able to get microsoft reader to work. have loads of books and cannot activate the bl***dy think, tried FActivation and all the other tweaks I've found and nothing works :(. + cannot find another reader to support purchased .lit files.

With much appreciation

Paul
[Touch HD General] alfie169:
Tony, you're a star. Great explaination in easy understandable terms which I am sure will help loads of others besides myself. Thanks. I am running windows vista so if you can supply the missing step that would be wonderful, in the meantime I,ll go and look at the link.

Cheers

Paul
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
i left out the vista and 7 instructions, as they are a lot of work and don't apply to everyone. here is the link to the tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=524619

for vista and 7 refer to post 3 of that thread. it can be really tough to make windows actually replace the driver, instead of keeping its own. also, on 64bit versions you need to enable test mode, so you can install unsigned drivers.

the good thing is: once you dealt with the driver issue, you never have to do it again, that modified driver is good for flashing and syncing and works for any windows mobile device.
[Touch HD General] alfie169:
Hi Tony

Right, I have a laptop with XP so will use that to follow your steps. I have been on your link and found

RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

which appears to be 6.1 so will try that. I ,ll let you know how I get on tomorrow and then to be a real pain can we have a crack at Microsft reader as that has been driving me bonkers, activated it many times and still cannot read my purchased books, sort that and i,ll be a very happy bunny:D

Once again, thanks alot. You are appreicated !!
[Touch HD General] alfie169:
Well after much care and following Tonys instructions I have managed to return the PDA to Win6.1 :). Thanks once again for all your help and replying to my post.

All I need now is to get Microsoft reader to actually activate so I can use my books.

Any ideas ;) What ever I do including using Factivation does not work

I need to have a SIM card in my phone to work because I am abroad, not on a CDMA in the states. Itll work if I take out the SIM and boot up, but Im not gonna pay outragous Sprint bill when I can use the local country carrier's SIM.

Any ideas on how to work out this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I can load both GB and FroYo just fine, everything works except when I try and install my SIM.

Nice cross-forum post...

I answered you over on PPCG, as did someone else already. That's more of a CDMA-geared forum, so if you have a CDMA-related question it's probably best to ask it over there.

I'm sure you're just covering your bases in order to get the quickest answer... but again if it's anything CDMA-specific, you'll get a quicker answer on PPCG.

I don't think people need to be told where the wiki is. Plus you said you wanted to know how different each version was? For that you would need to google froyo revisions or eclair revisions or android 2.2.0 2.2.1 2.2.2. Those are basically the same throughout all android devices.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Taosaur:
Hey all, I'm considering an Optimus V on VMUSA's Beyond Talk plan when AT&T lets me off my leash next month, and just wondered how others are feeling who have made the transition.

I've heard positive things from at least one XDAer on, well, mainly the price, but also how their phone performs with AOSP/CM7.

I talk very little and text quite a bit, so the plan seems like a good fit, and I'll probably put some AT&T prepaid minutes on one of my current phones for back-up, and route it all through a Google Voice number.

What are my chances of tethering the Optimus V's data connection to my Nook Color (Android tablet, CM7)?

Hello Everybody!

I was trying to install a new ROM on my HTC HD2 as a part of the steps mentioned to go to the bootloader, but after finishing the ROM installation, the device hanged on the HTC logo. When I move the battery and try again it is hanging in the same place.

I have turned it off then On pressing the down button of the sound control, it gave me the boot window, I have connected the device to the computer through the USB, I tried to install the Radio I was using before which is: Radio_2_14_50_04, it is updating the Radio/ROM but when it try to start the system it is hanging in the same place (The HTC logo).

Any suggestions ?!

[Galaxy S II General] Blue1k:
No way. Everyone has been asking me about my phone. Same response of "Wow, so much nicer than the iphone 4"

So far no mistaken identity. Lol
[Galaxy S II General] daivik:
You could say they look similar and they are in that:

they are rectangular (this is very rare on smartphones)

they are black - THIS IS EVEN more rare

it's slimmer = Steve Jobs is mad.

And yes the home button. But my Desire has 5 buttons. 4 are a "dull-er" silver and the middle button is a really nice circular patterned metal sliver - it's the button you see immediately over the others.

If you look at windows phones, they have the windows key which is centred with 2 other buttons around it.

GSII has a centre button that's rectangular, surrounded by two other buttons.

So yes they are similar, but they're also similar to many other phones.

Jobs clearly has a problem with the fact that the GSII bridges that gap (on looks) between "A chunky, but extremely powerfull" which only certain people get (who don't mind the looks) and the "sleek, slim look" that appeals to the common consumer.

It's exactly what Apple did many years ago, they combined power with looks and an "image" for the phone.

(I'm saying this because I speak from personal experience seeing as I had an N80, and N95) Absolute BEASTS but they were insanely chunky, but I really didn't care.)

this is my first android device. Ive recently defected from nokia after a long relationship with symbian and more recently maemo. But its gone all wrong at nokia. wp7 devices, no os support, just community support (not such a bad thing) and Tech which is 2 years out of date. Was going to hold out for a n950/n9 but thats old tech and would prob be going against the sgs3. Plus they have dumped intel and left meego going no where.....

i thought ice cream sandwich was going to be 2.4. that is what i have read on most of the websites. Read that google was going making 3.x a tablet os and keep 2.x as a phone os. If that does i see it continuing with even numbers being phone os and odd being table os.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidfeen809:
nop not for dual cores only

...and it's putting a stop to Android fragmentation...

There's nothing worse than your friends having a more recent Android version than what you have, and thus getting cool new features. Google said they want "one OS that runs everywhere." They're going to do this by adapting the framework and adding new APIs "to help developers optimize for all various devices." Naturally, they're going to be open source.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Richard1510:

[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
If we do see ICS it is going to be because of the rom community supporting it, not the carrier. I sincerely doubt we'll see a G3 come down the pipes within the year. I can only think that HTC will keep with the two year gap like they did with the G1-G2. When they do, I would imagine that it will be running ICS, probably around mid July next year.

Admittedly this is all speculation.
