Ok.....I was hoping to avoid another rom install...lol...

Would this work?

1.) Save current install as Xrecovery back up

2.) Save that Xrecovery back up folder to my laptop.

3.) format SD

4.) Reinstall Rom

5.) Put the saved Xrecovery back up folder onto my X10.

6.) Restore from that back up.

Would this accomplish the same thing?
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
WHATEVER YOU DO - DON"T REFORMAT IN WINDOWS WITHOUT SD CARD ASSOC SOFTWARE : http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

Windows can put cryptographic crap on the card making it useless in Android.

The internal format software is flaky in 2.1 and may or may not delete correctly.
[XPERIA X10 General] rpavich:
Holy Crap! I'm glad you said something!

thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Yes that possible.

Btw, don't let him scare you. Formatting with xRecovery is TOTALLY safe.
[XPERIA X10 General] stan.s:
I said the internal android is flaky, and Windows without the special formatting software. I said nothing about any apps. Part of android's problems may be due to the system not properly disconnecting app that use the card as it tries to format. Xrecovery's mini-loader would get around that issue.

Like the title,how can i change the phone animation?,i heard an app called anim mod can do it but i saw a lot of bad review on market.
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
You mean there boot animation? Replace the bootanimation.zip in system > media with your own (make sure it is named bootanation.zip) and set permissions to 644.

And like always, make a nandroid backup first just in case.
[XPERIA X8 General] anmiman:
No,not boot animation..the phone animation..like the effect when you change volume,press menu,etc..
[XPERIA X8 General] codfreak:
That is included in most themes, so you would have to install a new theme.
[XPERIA X8 General] af974:
Mostly are coded into framework-res.apk in system/framework but other are app specific.

Use Apk Manager for decompile them and change what you need.

be carefoul, if you change something wrong your phone could go into a bootloop, make a nandroid backip before.

Search in forum for framework-res and you will find a lot of good guides for modify it.

Oh..thats the answer that i'm looking..thanks for the tip..:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] quietNaN:
I really want usb host capabilities on my phone.

Honeycomb 3.1 has this as does (if I understand correctly) Samsung Galaxy S2, where it is backported to gingerbread.

So first thing to do of course was to look at the galaxy s2 source code.

But there is nothing there. No UsbDevice.java, no additional drivers, nothing.

Do I miss anything? Isn't Samsung required by GPL to publish such modifications?

Thanks,

quietNaN
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ramdroid77:
So far USB host mode doesn't work for Androids < 3.1

For 2.3.4 there's only an external library to support the USB accessory mode but it needs to be built into the OS. From latest news this is included in CyanogenMod 7.1 so as soon as this is released for your phone you can at least connect peripherals to S2.

See also this link for more details on Android USB support:

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/index.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] quietNaN:
Thanks ramdroid77 for your answer.

I am aware that the feature I am asking for is not available before 3.1 .

And I am also aware of the "accessory mode".

However, there are two reasons why I am pretty sure that the S2 does not use the accessory mode.

1. From what I gathered around the internet (mostly from the exact link you mentioned) the handshake in accessory mode is quite different from the usual usb host mode. An android phone in accessory mode will for example not be able to provide an identifier for the client. The accessory is supposed to do this.

So (please correct me here, this point is halfway guessed) I think it will not be possible to plug an usb device into your phone and expect things to work. An "usb accessory" is something you actually have to develop to work with android. There are videos on youtube however that show people just plugging in a stick into their S2...

2. Usb accesory mode is introduced as an optional feature in 2.3.4 . The S2 runs 2.3.3 .

The README_platform.txt provided with the S2 source gives instructions how to build the code. It says to download 2.3.3(r1) and replace some files by the files provided by Samsung before make. The usb handling is not part of 2.3.3(r1) and (as far as I can see) not part of the modified files they offer for download.

The modifications were actually what I was looking for. I was hoping that Samsung backported the true usb host mode which is introduced with 3.1 (but not published yet by google) to 2.3.3 so that I can have a look and also backport it to the pre-CM7.1 (build from source) I am using on my legend. Well, at least try to figure out which informations I need to gather before I even can start to think about backporting it.

Since the S2 does not use accessory mode (I think) they either use a host mode and hold the code out on us (since my original question) or they use something completely different (neither the android accessory mode nor the android usb host mode) which then I must have missed in the kernel code. If I remember correctly the tiamat kernel for example has support for usb mass storage devices (which I cannot test on my legend).

I have some projects on my mind which (from what I gathered about the accessory mode) requires a real host mode.

So my question persists (or has to be reformulated): What does the S2 use to communicate with a usb device?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] klokom:
i tried to do all instructions posted here, but i can't do anything to turn it on. no matter what combination of buttons i tried didn't work. i have time until Monday when i was planing to ship it back to amazon to try to revive it... anyone has any idea...

it doesn't react on anything, it doesn't make any sound when i plug it in usb in pc.... just nothing!!!! please help me!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fl4r3:
This just happened to me yesterday. Have you tried holding the power button for more 15 seconds to force a shutdown and then wait 5 seconds, then hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn it on again?

If that doesn't work (as was in my case), get android screencast (available here on xda) and see if you can view the transformer screen on the pc (must already have usb debugging enabled).

Using the screencast I figured out my screen was dead (the touchscreen was working with my fingers but screen showed nothing). I just sent mines off for RMA today...hopefully this won't be the case with yours.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klokom:
thank you for your reply.....

unfortunately pc doesn't detect transformer at all.... i am desparate
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fl4r3:
Are you sure the transformer is on when connected it to the pc? I would hold the power button for 15 seconds to force a shutdown, then connect it to the charger for about 5 minutes so I know its def on. Then connect to the pc and see if the internal storage shows up.

If not, the other option is to test it using a hdmi cable....and if that doesn't work then it sounds like your transformer is not turning on at all which either means the battery is dead (needs charging) or the device is completely broke!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klokom:
it is final - the device is dead.... on the bright side i can still return it to amazon....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fl4r3:
sorry to hear...well at least you can return it to amazon. I'm going to have to wait for Asus...and whats worse is Im leaving to go back to the UK in exactly two weeks (what timing!!). If it doesn't arrive back on time I'm going to have to get someone to mail it to me.

On a side note its odd how the device's are dying...I've come across a couple of cases while googling and I was extra careful with mines....bit woried about my replacement. As much as I hate to say it I'm considering selling on ebay and getting something else (not Galaxy tho...cannot live without sdcard slots).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klokom:
i have the same problem, what tablet to take instead of transformer.... if 10.1 had a sd card slot it would be my choice.... maybe i should wait for toshiba....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
connect via usb cable to pc ( ON) let it sit for 6-8 hrs and try again. If your charger is not working, you may have killed battery. If TF turns on, turn it off so all of the limited current is used to charge battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fl4r3:
Thats a good point...I would suggest you try that Klokom as some people have found their charger pins to become loose or their chargers just melt and die.

The toshiba does sound interesting, and theres also the Lenovo K1 and Sony S1 too. Will have to wait for the reviews to come out to decide tho.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klokom:
i'll try that....thanks....

although i doubt that it is a case, because when i left work yesterday it had around 40% battery and when i came home it was off... but i'll try that...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Hold power for longer than 15 seconds, every person in the world sucks at counting in their head so hold it for 30 seconds, then try and turn it on, if that simply doesn't work and usb doesn't give you anything try charging your tablet overnight. If still nothing return or RMA it.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AlmostTactful:
So I was using Nils Ginger Sense and while I love the ROM and GB of course it's just not working quite right with my exchage email and agenda widget. However there is a traffic widget on it that is awesome! It's a small 1X1 widget that looks like part of a stop light. You set a predetermined location for the widget and then simply by clicking on it, it will refresh and display an estimated time of arrival but more importantly it would display a green, yellow, or red light depending on the amount of traffic. I know the area I live in very well so I don't need to open up full on navigation to see traffic, this APP is perfect and I can't find anything even close to it on the MP....anyone have any idea where I can get it for a Froyo ROM?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] lynxboy:
AFAIK that widget is from Google Maps. Check you Maps Widgets.

Regards.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] todd3835:
The widget is showing up as "Google" so it isn't a Sense widget. Not sire if it is GB or from Maps, I've never seen it before.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AlmostTactful:
Bah, totally didn't think of that. However this ROM doesn't have it installed stock and I'm getting an install error saying the package isn't signed correctly....any ideas on that?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] AlmostTactful:
HA! Got it :) it was installed and not showing up in any list, so I uninstalled it and this widget is part of the new Google Maps package...WIN!

[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I'll have to check this out.... it's funny, I bought a phone with a front-facing camera and never bothered using it, I guess I'll try this app out and see what the quality is like.

Few questions(dumb as they may be :p)

1: Can I call people who are on Skype with this app? I'm assuming I would have to wait for Skype to release a version for the Charge.

2: Does this app call other people with the app or does it just do a regular call..?

thanks :]
[Verizon Droid Charge] TheVrolok:
I tested it last night with the gf, pretty neat. It wouldn't connect at 3g (my area gets spotty between 3g/4g) but connected just fine over WiFi. From my experience, using a set of headphones is essentially mandatory for AT LEAST one party, if not both. With no headphones there was a significant amount of feedback on both ends, to the point where conversation was impossible. Perhaps this is just my experience though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Finally, audio didnt work for the longest time
[Verizon Droid Charge] mulk777:
Sweet! Hopefully this will work between my charge and my wife's moto droid while she's out of town :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] turnerw:
1. No from what I have seen it looks as if the other party needs Tango as well. There is a contacts list from within and it automatically had some contacts in my list that already had Tango.

2. I think i answered #2 with #1.

Also I used it with speaker on and had no feedback . It was absolutely flawless that one time I used it. I was on 4G. It sucked battery hard though.

[LG Revolution] Brksy86:
I am in the military and an app that tracks my workouts/runs is crucial for me. About 6 months ago I came across CardioTrainer which is a free workout app that tracks all types of workouts, and they are constantly adding more. it also links to a Bluetooth heart rate monitor I wear and tracks that as well. It was such an amazing app that I paid the 10 bucks for the real thing that also gave you access to all their expansions out now and everything they come out with from now on. This app is one of the major reasons I stayed with Android when I had a chance to switch, (but only one), since cardotrainer isnt on any other platform. All in all I tell everyone I know about this app and now almost everyone in my company who has an Android phone is using it.

Some abilities-

Bluetooth heart rate sync, gps tracking of distance, altitude, speed both average and current using google maps, calories burned, workout reminders, accumulative workout progression, racing yourself ability, facebook sync (if your into showing how BA you are), linking with people you know in competitions, music sync, also they just added a weightloss thing. over 35 different types of pre programmed types of workouts (running, hiking, tennis, soccer, yoga, weightlifting, ect) and this is just the free part of the app. I probably sound like a promoter but Im not, I just love this app.
