Fate conspires to keep me away from development :D Now my Xperia Play is not mounting the SDCards I feed it. I need to reflash it with FlashTool, but since I only had Linux installed on my computer and Flashtool requires Windows, I'm having to set up a dual boot environment, which implies wiping Linux, installing Windows and setting up two partitions, and then installing Linux again. Seriously, it's crap.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tofira:
I really like this post,good luck with it.

Only one thing- I think it's important that you'd come with an idea for an app,rather than learning Android in general.

It will keep you motivated to move on and progress.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dtmorgwsu:
I've recently started developing for android too. While they get mildly bashed sometimes I've found that the apress books are pretty good. "Learn java for android development" by jeff friesen is long and very technical, and also requires that you be paying attention, but gets a pretty decent amount of java floating around inside your head before you even have to open up eclipse.

Honestly though I found it easier to work on a project and when I needed something that I didnt know to search around and find code snippets or dig through my books until I find the right answer and then move on to the next problem.

Good Luck
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Logseman:
I do have an idea in mind, and it is related with the security pattern grid. Is that part of Android opensourced?

I wasn't able to pick up the pace this weekend :( But my goal is clear for now. I'm up for a Hello XDA app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Logseman:
Well, here comes my very first apk... plus source (complying with XDA's rules :p) I managed to screw some things because I typed the code incorrectly. Eclipse moaned in two lines until I discovered two syntax mistakes. Just therefore, because I saw them, I think I did the proper thing in typing this example code even if I had it in front of me. I will try not to copy-paste code if I can avoid it.

I've installed HelloXDA in my XPlay and it works as intended, and per the source you can see there's no malware in the app. And I know that I'm making a bit of a fuss about a stupid HelloWorld app, but hey, it's MY HelloWorld app, I coded it :D

I like this thread. I'm also going into android programmins as a noob still in highschool. I've got a question: I am looking into creating a home screen replacement app, so what do you reccomend me to do: Learn java first or just read through the sections of the android books I've purchased that talk about homescreens?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ethan Allison:
Start with something smaller than a homescreen. Mess around with some tutorials.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidmalarky:
Hi all,

I used root explorer to remove some apps (have s-off etc.) from my stock desire rom. Still having trouble to remove these apps (eg. I can't find them):

- places

- desk clock (want to remove without removing default clock)

- videos (since they are accessible through default gallery)

I figured these have no standard .apk file in the /app folder. But maybe there is a way.

Thanks for any enlightenment on the subject..

EDIT: I don't mean dock, I mean app drawer/system

(PS. my first post! want to take the opportunity to thank devs, mods and contributors at XDA, you're the best!)

You are the man! My phone is nearly complete I just need something to get rid of this tmobile boot and shutdown animations.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Go to the themes and apps section and check out the original vibrant bootanimations. It rocks compared to the stock pink stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
Thats where this thread is. Can you link the thread? I cant find what you mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Srry i don't know how to link the thread but its on the same page as this. Just go to [mod] original galaxy s bootup and shutdown screens and the instructions are in the op. Hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
I just posted on the thread you are looking for so it should be at the top of the thread list now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
Make sure to flash the theme first then the boot animations, there is not enough room for both on the /system partition so a few of the shutdown images will be missing. But still better than stock.

If you flash the boot animations first you may brick and have to odin back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fatherof4:
Hes right b carefull! If u want u can just extract the files from the zip and then just use root explorer or the like and overwrite all the files manually. Thats how i did it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
Yep thats how I did it. Working flawlessly! Thanks everyone for the help my phone is as close to how I want it now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
It is actually better to flash via CWM, root explorer is more likely to give you "not enough space error" then you will have problems on reboot.

CWM will write over existing files and generally works really well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eric-1987:
I thought doing it via cwm would get me a brick if I have already themed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] corradokng:
Nope, other way around if you CWM the boot animations then theme you may brick.

If you CWM theme then boot, all good.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Oh my goodness, a new thread, I hate doing this but I haven't had any luck...

So here's the deal, my Streak's camera only shows greyscale on the screen while I am taking pictures or shooting video....

Once taken, the color is there in the photo or pic in the gallery or whatever app I open to view the photo or watch the video.

Honestly I have no idea when this could've started because since the Streak's camera is not the best in the world, I don't use it much, but I do occasionally use it to recognize a business or scan a document to send it to someone or something else to that effect.

What I have done lately to the phone is flashed the 354 baseband and dsp1 files to the phone. So logically I tried to flash to where I was before that, the 351 files, and had no luck with that, so I went back to the 354 files.

I have tried to look for some setting that I may have left in black and white or greyscale but haven't found anything that I may have done to cause this, doesn't mean it's not my fault, but I could definitely do with some ideas.

Thanks guys for any suggestions.

Worst case scenario I'd do a fresh flash of StreakDroid....oops, forgot to mention I was running StreakDroid 1.9
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumouri:
I would try to get the camera.apk file from 1.9.0 (unzip the zip, then system, then app, then camera.apk (I think)) and try installing that after uninstalling your camera app. If that doesn't work then it's a little far out to fix. You can always try a factory reset and reflash if that doesn't work.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Well I tried got rid of the camera apk with Root Explorer but then it wouldn't let me reinstall it.

Well then I try to adb push the app but then got uid errors so I said the heck with it and did a fresh flash of StreakDroid
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netonyx:
Did this fix the problem?

I just noticed this for the first time, myself. I did a factory reset/re-flash of 1.9.0 a few days ago, and I suspect that's when this started.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Yeah, I dunno what I may have done to prompt the behavior, I'm sure I made some adjustment or installed something that affected it.

So I just started from scratch and flashed StreakDroid anew....

Each time I flash I do somethin in the order of things different and each time it gets smoother and smoother
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgood1971:
I ran into this problem as well as another person. They discovered that it was LBE. Once I uninstalled LBE, the color issues were fine.

Did you have LBE installed?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Well I don't have the problem now that I flashed StreakDroid again but I sure wanna know what LBE is... forgive me for being dense but for the life of me I can't make out what that stands for sgood
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgood1971:
Not sure what it stands for but its an app I found on xda and does permissions based blocking of apps. Kind of like iptables
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colonel Panic:
Some people were having the same issue at streak.modaco.com and some found LBE Privacy Guard to be the issue and one person said Chainfire3D may be an issue.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
In the SimpleStreak rom thread some users were attributing this to having stagefright installed. I do not use stagefright and have no idea what it is, just passing on the observation.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Question, I have GO SMS PRO, because I hate stock messaging layout. I have set notifications disabled on messaging so I only get it once through GO SMS PRO.

Is there a reason why stock messaging still comes up while I use GO SMS PRO? Can I delete messaging, or freeze it so it's not constantly running as well as go sms pro?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
It says how to uninstall the stock sms when you first setup go sms but i wasnt paying attention to that crap. its probably in the settings somewhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
ill take a look, thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sammydr10:
Use Titanium backup to UNISTALL the STOCK messaging app :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Are you using stock launcher?

If you are and pressing the stock messaging app icon then thats why it opens up instead of go sms.

If you are using custom launcher like ADW you just change the icon to whatever you want but have it linked to go sms so only that opens up for messaging when you press it.

You can unistall it but i would freeze it instead because if you do a factory reset and its unistalled you won't have a stock sms app to fall back onto because third party apps won't be loaded right away when you do that. i made that mistake as a noob with the stock keyboard back in the day on another android device lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Fabricated, I figured I could do that, but I was afraid that'd screw up the phone, guess not right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
It's really not necessary to uninstall the standard messaging app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Well it keeps coming up on my task manager when I even set it to not sending me notifications. It's annoying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] prettyboy85712:
It's not harming anything if it's just showing in your Task Manager. Though you can disable notifications in the native app, the conversation threads are still being updated in it. Think of the implications if this didn't happen.

[General Questions and Answers] nfriedly:
I'd like to know any general or specific tips anyone has for getting a better deal new service with Verizon, or possibly AT&T.

My wife and I are both on t-Mobile right now, but she's wanting to update to an iPhone 4 and she doesn't want to need to have it hacked to work or be limited to 2g speed. Most of her family is on Verizon, so we're leaning towards them, but I'm willing to consider AT&T if it's a significantly better deal. I'll probably pick up one of the higher-end Android phones, although I'm not sold on any particular one yet.

I'm willing to sign a contract, but I have the cash to pay for the phones outright and go month-to-month if it turns out to be comparable or cheaper than signing a contract.

As far as bargaining power goes, I have a perfect credit history, and I think I'm hallways decent at sticking to my guns. At a bare minimum I'd expect the activation fee to be waived - I'll walk out of the store if they can't do that. But really, I'd like to see the phones be steeply discounted and/or a significant reduction in the monthly cost.

I'll be moving to San Mateo, CA in about two months, so I'll probably wait until then to do the switching. (Mostly so that we can get local numbers.) I was expecting to walk into the carrier's store and sign up, but I'd consider a third-party vendor. Does anyone here recommend a specific vendor/person/store in the greater SF area?

And a last question, I know you can swap phones between AT&T and t-Mobile, but you loose 3g. Is Sprint or anyone else's phones compatible with Verizon's network? I know you'd loose 4g, but would 3g at least work?
