[Android Apps and Games] TechieGeek:
I want to install Google Goggles on my phone but the Android Market won't let me. I found the APK for 1.3.1 on XDA and I got that to work on my phone but I think the most recent version is 1.4. Can someone please upload the APK for that? :)
[Android Apps and Games] TechieGeek:
Bump! Can I get the APK for Goggles 1.5.2 now? Please? Someone? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Now, before I get flamed, I know that there are plenty of bluetooth remote control apps for controlling your PC from your Android device or controlling your Android device from your PC etc. What I was wondering was, is there an app that allows your to control one Android device from another Android device? Would that be useful, especially with all the tablet devices that are coming out now? How cool would it be to connect your phone to your tablet via bluetooth for the purposes of sending and receiving texts, or making and receiving phone calls etc? Is there any development on such an app?

Comments? Thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Nothing? Nada?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yemlefjj:
I don't have an answer for you but I've had the same thought as you that this would be a great app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alostpacket:
I've released two data transfer apps that are used to send data between Android devices, (BlueMuze and Listables if you're interested).

The reason I mention this though, is because I think that for specific tasks like sending music or a photo, or as you suggest, making a phone call, the tech is there. But full-on remote control of another device is a bit more difficult. I'd imagine it would require root and possibly some very clever hacking of the Surface Fliger and Event stream.

That's not to say it's impossible, but it would be a really decent technical challenge. There certainly is a permission related to injecting events into the event stream, that could be a good place to start (if anyone wants to try this).

hope that helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alostpacket:
Another quick thought, it's also entirely possible someone will port a VNC server to android someday. There are already VNC clients available...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
That would certainly be cool! However, the functionality you mentioned in your previous post is something I think would be more functionally useful. Like, say your phone rings, but you answer can answer the call on your tablet as if the phone saw the tablet as a hands-free device, or just answer on the phone (whichever you prefer). Or you dial on your tablet, and then it engages the phone to place the call. Or SMS strings automatically synchronize, and you could answer/respond on either device and they mirror each other in their own respective SMS clients.

That sort of thing I think would be beastly! Y'know, something that gives your tablet and your phone more of a synergistic relationship to each other. Like, rather than two separate devices that fill specific functions, it'd be more like two devices complementing each other and working together to cover all your bases seamlessly.

I just wish I had the knowledge and development-fu to do it myself...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeddy:
I have also been looking for this kind of thing - primarily so I could run videos from my tablet to my TV, and then use my Android HD2 to control the playback from the comfort of my sofa.

What would be ideal for me would be someone knocking up a bluetooth (or Wifi) solution which sends control commands to something like VPlayer, QQPlayer, MoboPlayer, RockPlayer whatever :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
I pretty much already to that with my SGS2 by using a bluetooth mouse. I know it's not the same as pushing a specific button and having a specific action happening on the other device, but the effect is similar enough.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Bump! Trying get some visibility on potential devs for this idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldiecalypso:
any news for android-android remote access?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriskinetic:
Ive also been looking for a app to control my xoom tablet from my HTC phone,there are a couple of simple apps on the market such as "tablet remote" but im looking for one that has more media (music/film) capabilities,i guess the app would involve installing it one both devices then syncing via bluetooth

then you could control the playlist of music,stop pause fw rw any film,the ability to actually stream the music from your phone to table would be awesome !

in my personal situation my tablet is docked with speakers attached,i like to be able to access its music playlist then control that play list with my phone,and maybe even add extra tracks from my phone to the tablets playlist

is there already an app out there that will allow me to do this via bluetooth or wifi ?

Has anyone been able to successfully tether their phones to their Iconias via USB? So far my searches have only brought up WIFI tethering; and that is currently not an option for me (most recent OTA made rooting impossible for me for right now). Just curious if anyone has made any headway.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLordVimes:
I did a slightly stupid thing, upon flashing a miui rom i flashed a cyanogen theme. Now the phone just cycles through the bootanimation and when i pull out the battery and put it back in the phone automaticly restarts. Is there any way of getting out of this loop and into recovery?

Using adb, it seems to detect the phone however when entering "adb reboot recovery" the command lines sends backk "adb: not found".

Turns out im a sleep deprived ejgit. :)
[HD7 General] koolxx:
i saw a japanese video showing android on the hd7. i want to know if we can install android on hd7.
[HD7 General] truckerdewd:
You can't yet. There is already a thread about this same subject. No need to make another.
[HD7 General] koolxx:
would you happen to know the progress on this project?
[HD7 General] Audio:
CHECK ONE OF THE OTHER DOZEN THREADS ON THIS SUBJECT. How much easier do we have to make it? Use the search tool ffs.
[HD7 General] truckerdewd:
Nobody knows the progress. It'll probably be next year some time, but the guy is right, we didn't need another thread asking the very same question. So no, he wasn't being rude as hell.
[HD7 General] koolxx:
thanks truckerdewd.. its just that i'm so desperate in getting android on the hd7.. you have no idea.

[HD7 General] morpheus1982:
Confused

Can someone explain why the Desire HD doesnt meet your needs?

Or is it the point of having the desired outer shell and being able to change OS's at your choosing?

...basically the HD2 syndrome...
[HD7 General] EvilBetty:
Probably because they don't have a DesireHD, they have an HD7.
[HD7 General] koolxx:
hi, morpheus.. thats an excellent question. i'd love to get the desire. but i read that its hardware is similar to hd2... and the hd2 has call quality problems. but a friend of mine said that the call quality is clear... so i dont know if i should get the desire.

also, i was looking the the htc inspire. i'd like to dual boot wp7 and android on it. i'd like to know if this is possible. but i'm also worried about the batt life on it.
[HD7 General] sahil04:
Because the DesireHD isn't on T-Mobile and the HD7 was the biggest screen available? I don't have a HD7 myself but what do you people have against having an option for other operating systems?

Some people in this section are so close minded it's not even funny.
[HD7 General] circleofomega:
I have a couple of friends with Desire HD. Don't know about the call quality, but the battery life sucks as hell..feels like it has a Nokia 1100 battery in it...Drains faster than a sandclock...

Otherwise its a fantastic device.,.
[HD7 General] Audio:
Would you settle for a Ford because the garage didn't have a Ferrari? That's the lamest excuse I've heard in a long time...

It's not Close mindedness, it's common sense. You want Android, get an Android phone. You want Dual Boot? Get a device capable of doing it.

Dual booting will become a reality for WP7 devices, it's only a matter of time. But creating Dozen's of threads on it isn't going to speed things up. If anything it'll slow it down.

My prediction is all of these WM6.5/Android threads will become redundant once Mango's released anyway, and people won't want to switch between OS's cos there'll be no point.
[HD7 General] sahil04:
Nope, but if I was going to buy a Ferrari that dealership probably wouldn't carry a Ford ;)

It is close mindedness, although I agree with the fact that if you wanted a Android he should have gotten an Android (I did, only reason I come to the HD7 forums is because my dad has one and I play with his). How did devices that are capable of dual booting come to be? It wouldn't have been possible if everyone was in mindset "I don't want that cause I have this".

And replying to every thread with the same canned off topic response is no better, sure he should have searched but being pricks isn't going to make him search in the future, it might just drive a potential future dev away from XDA.

I've been hearing good things about Mango and I think that WP7 will become a real competitor to iOS/Android once it comes out, until then however it is another story.
[HD7 General] DroidFreek:
Who wouldn't want a device that can dualboot. It also preserves the life of the device in a sell/trade aspect.

[HD7 General] dacook2:
what please i didn't understand ?
[HD7 General] BlitterTwisted:
I've seen exactly the same thing. The 1230 capacity battery on the Desire HD is way too small for a phone with 1ghz processor and the big screen.

The HD7 has the same specs of course, but because WP7 doesn't allow multitasking and background jobs the battery life isn't so much of an issue.
[HD7 General] Audio:
You obviously understand me or you wouldn't come up with something as pedantic as that. Think of any other analogy you like that applies the same logic, you'll still find it applies.

At which point did i (or anyone for that matter) say I don't want to Dual Boot?

I wasn't aware we were firing personal insults. Perhaps we should all play along then and welcome duplicate threads? And please, "driving away potential future devs"? :rolleyes:

Personal opinion. WP7 is my favorite OS out there. I'll admit it has it's limitations, but for me there is no competition. It does what a smartphone should do better than any other device out there.

[HD7 General] PanNet:

[HD7 General] morpheus1982:
That doesnt answer the question. Both phones came out around the same time, so the choice was there from the start.
[HD7 General] morpheus1982:
When did wanting to understand someone's reasoning become close-mindedness??? I got a proper well-mannered answer from the creator of this thread already thanks.

You dont even have the HD7..!
[HD7 General] DroidFreek:
Wow every time I visit this thread people always ask whether android is available for the HD7 which it is not. Another thing I have come to realize is the constant flaming I know that the same question being asked excessively can be annoying but we have to learn to have patience. Its the only way this forum can expand and potentially pick up more devs to make processes like these quicker and more efficient and all these arguments turn these potential devs away from this site. So before you intend to flame someone please just do the right thing and be polite and answer their question because there is no such thing

as a stupid question

. Thank you for your time and mods please close this thread we already have one that is intended for these kind of questions.
[HD7 General] sahil04:
My close-mindedness response wasn't about the poster, it was about the whole attitude people have in this section regarding android on their HD7. And I don't own a HD7 but my dad has one and I play with that when I get a chance.
[HD7 General] morpheus1982:
No problem. THere is now a sticky thread regarding HD7 and Android now.

EDIT: Actually. That thread has been here for ages according to the first post date. Why does this thread even exist LOL?
[HD7 General] truckerdewd:
Cause some people don't bother to read or to use the search function.
[HD7 General] merkcity:
very well said I'm do tired of people saying if u wanted this you should have got that.....why are they on xda if they really believe that???? Xda was created to give people freedom of choice but some of the ignorant/bully senior members don't seem to understand that.
[HD7 General] Audio:
Nothing about what i said was sarcastic, and I will continue to suggest people buy a device that does what they are asking for instead of clogging up the forums with Duplicate thread after duplicate thread and spouting BS about the origins of XDA and why it was created... any excuses like "it wasn't on the network i prefer" is just that, an excuse. If it was such a big deal to have the capabilities that another phone had, then you would make that leap to another carrier, or buy the phone unlocked. What most people are forgetting is that all the work that the developers do in this forum is FREE, and when all of these threads are created, it just shouts out that people are being selfish and cheap, wanting things for free, and wanting them fast.

As i said before, Yes it would be fantastic if our device dual booted, but what i do (and probably most other people with a hint of common sense) is keep up to date by checking the Stickies at the top of the forum's which were created exactly for that, and not create a new time-wasting thread to ramble on in

Hi, I bought an HD7 and lived to hate it, why? idk it blows. So I tried putting Android onto it it didn't work.

To solve this problem I bought a HD2 and taped it on to the back of my HD7. So now I have WP7 and Android at the tip of my hands. Problem solved.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andreenzo:
Hello,

I'm having some troubles understanding the SD Structure after flashing an Android ROM.

Fist of all, Could someone please explain what's the point on Partition the SD when flashing? I just cant understand... Is the OS Installed there?

i've got a few dir's in the SD (.android_secure , ANDROID , LOST.DIR , tmp)

Why are this dir's in there? Can't I have one dir for all this?

And finally, How can I install all the apps to a single dir in SD? Something like program files in windows.

I just would like to have the SD as clean as possible, but the OS just constently keeps stuff in the root of the SD...

Thank you very much for you help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] white-energy:
Thats normal.. all the phones have this structure.. so its okay! :)

Instead of touching system's settings, i suggest you create a folder "My Documents" or "My Folder" and keep your files there cause the root is gonna be full of folders and files from android if you're gonna install many applications

Sorry i dont find the path, but just backup your apks with this progamm:

I am not posting random ****, I thought the post was funny, so I responded as such. I shouldn't have mentioned the part about the spam but whatever.

And in response to the comment about why people install ROM's for other phones, yea it's not necessarily smart to do so, but for the most part these forums are not exactly noobie friendly . . .

I am not new to the world of linux, I have been a user of various distros on my personal machines and work servers since 2006. I am coming from the world of webOS, where I did a little development in my sparse spare time, webOS had a lot of promise, but did not have the community nor the rapid pace of development that android has, so I finally switched.

I have found that, through no intentional fault of the community members here, entry into the world of Android homebrew has been somewhat intimidating, mainly because of the terminology that you all use. I have looked, but still don't know what many of the acronyms stand for. It has a high "entry cost," which it probably should otherwise you would have every joe schmoe trying to flash their phones with various experimental roms. (well apparently they do that anyway) But perhaps a glossary of terms could be helpful somewhere for those of us that got to the party late but could still be of some help once we catch up).

And to the guy who started this thread: don't do something until you have read about it sufficiently enough to be sure that it will work. Going backwards is often alot more difficult than spending the time to do it right in the first place. I have learned this lesson the difficult way a number of times (I am not the most prudent person with stuff, i like to shoot from the hip and have shot myself in the foot a number of times)
