End Goal:

Control music playing on my Win 7 netbook with my Android phone in the car

(Ok that should probably have been my thread title, since there's probably other ways to achieve this without tcp/ip connection. Too late now)

Description/Details:

Netbook has Win 7 Thin PC (extra cut down version of Win 7)

Phone is Ideos X5 with Android 2.2

Ideally I'd like to use Foobar2000 to play music.

Netbook has Foobar 2000.

Phone has foobar2000 controller: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cav.foobar2000controller

This works great at home, BUT.... requires a network connection between netbook/phone, as it sends commands via http

But when I'm in the car I have no fixed wifi connection.

Things I have tried:

- Creating adhoc wifi on netbook... Android can't see it

- Creating adhoc wifi on Android.... it just seems to share the phones network connection to the netbook. The phone can't make the foobar http connection with the laptop

- Creating bluetooth PAN. For some reason even though I could connect, I couldn't get the two to talk to each other. Maybe Android was just sharing it's internet connection again. Perhaps this is worth another try?

- Adding adhoc join support to Android... Unfortunately people in the Ideos X5 forum say this doesn't work on my phone

- Getting USBnet on Android to do tcp/ip over USB. Unfortunately my linux/android skills aren't good, and from what I could find out this either wasn't going to work on Android, or was too complicated for me

-Using http://www.connectify.me/ on the netbook... Unfortunately Win 7 Thin PC only supports .Net 4.0, and Connectify is pre 4.0. It could be an option to get another version of Win 7, but I want this to be last resort

Maybe I'm missing something really simple? A nice app available that will solve all my problems?

Help a noob out :D

Solved?

I know this is nearly a year old post, but did you solve your problem eventually?
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Now from what I gathered it seems that this may only work for Sense roms. This was from a thread over in the Android Software development forum that was modified for the SGS but I tried it and it works fine. Some people running cm7 said that it didnt work for them but it works perfect for me as ive tested it out. I'm just bringing it from that forum to this one.

Just tried it on nightly 109. very buggy. I can see the other party, they can't see me (neither can I).

Tried again and just got audio with a black screen both ways.

Finally, a working phone to PC video chat.
[EVO 4G General] bweisholtz:
google video chat has been serving this function for me for a few months.

i think it works better than the skype pc-to-phone. you should check it out.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
If you would actually read what the OP posted and what his reply it all makes perfect sense Hip.

So he is saying that it is working perfectly for him using CM7 and inital asked what version of CM7 he is on.

This isn't difficult to understand Hip and to come on here and flame a member for asking a perfectly legit question is rude and totally uncalled for.
[EVO 4G General] initial:
Thank you tgruendler.

No hard feeling hip. I was just in a bad mood and I should have responded in a calm matter as well.

In any case, has anyone gotten this to work on their CM7 rom?

[Desire General] lfcjake:
Hey guys, pretty much what the title of the thread says. I try to unroot my phone via the HTC sync root, and when I click on the RUU to downgrade the phone, it instantly connects and I get an error message telling me to connect the phone.

Does anyone know how to cure this? It's been driving me crazy for ages now, wish I never rooted my phone in the first place!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks...
[Desire General] Meaple:
Lol rooting is better than that stock crap from htc.

If it's disconnecting maybe reinstall the drivers. Pretty sure there is another thread around here somewhere.

Swyped...
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You can also run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot. Turn the phone off, turn it on again holding the back button and when on the white fastboot screen connect to the PC and run the RUU again
[Desire General] lfcjake:
Tried that mate, and now I have a black screen, I think it's bricked it. :confused:

I know its turned on though because it vibrates & my pc still recognises it.

Any idea what I do now?

My ROM or RUU whatever its called is... 2.12.110.4 & I'm on T-Mobile.
[Desire General] lfcjake:
I want to unroot because me Desire started acting weird since I rooted. Started rebooting all the time & not full booting up. Had enough of it.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Which RUU did you use? As there isn't a FroYo T-Mobile one chances are you've flashed one for an AMOLED screen and you have SLCD
[Desire General] lfcjake:
I think this one is the one I tried first...

RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver

Then I tried...

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed

Been getting the 131 error & 140 error. I don't have a clue on what to do to fix this... As you can tell, I'm totally new to this lol.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Well, the first one wouldn't work at ALL as it's for American CDMA Desires so thank god that didn't work!!

Use this one:

[Desire General] lfcjake:
Haha like I said, I'm totally new to this! :p

Thanks for the link mate, will try now.

BTW, will I need to do a gold card or something?
[Desire General] lfcjake:
Didn't work. Got the 131 error again. Arghhh, this is driving me crazy!
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
To get a froyo desire branded by t-mobile you have to run a special method:

Download these two files:

CustomRUU

2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.zip

1.) Move the ota on your sd card and rename it into "update.zip"

2.) Run the installer. It extracts all needed files into a folder of your choice.

3.) Installer should start script automatically. If not, run "installer.bat" manually.

4.) Follow the instructions to the end.

5.) You are now in fastboot mode. Press power button to get into hboot.

6.) Choose recovery and enter with power button.

7.) If the red triangle shows up, hold volume up button and press power button. Now choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip"

When this operation is finished, you have a desire branded by t-mobile running froyo rom.

Sometimes the phone crashes when you install apps from the market. To fix this do the following:

1.) Turn off the phone

2.) Boot phone into hboot (start it with pressed volume down and power button)

3.) Navigate to "CLEAR STORAGE" and enter it.

This comment wipes the phone (so you loose all data) and resets all settings. After a reboot the market should work.

[Desire General] lfcjake:
Ah man looks like I'm gonna need a micro SD card adapter...
[Desire General] lfcjake:
Is there anyway possible that I don't have to do anything with my SD card & can just use a RUU just to fix it??
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
You have to use an sd card to get your working again, as far as i know.

Even if you want to run a stock froyo rom without any branding, you have to create a goldcard with linux and putting it in your phone, before you can run the ruu linked by eddyos.

And by the way, micro sd card readers aren't that expensive. ;)
[Desire General] lfcjake:
Ok I'll give it a shot & will let you know the results haha.

Thanks for your help mate. Fingers crossed!
[Desire General] lfcjake:
Ok can someone do a step by step guide please on how to do this.

I've done the ADB part, but when I'm on the CMD command prompt thing, I type 'adb devices'

And it says list of devices attatched...

And theres nothing there?! No serial or anything! What am I doing wrong? This is driving me insane.
[Desire General] lfcjake:
Ok I found out what my serial is.

It's : HT0APPL00658

What do I do now?? Can anyone actually help me please?

I have flashed CWM on my old SGS before and had no issues... I cant for the life of me flash it on my unlocked 2.3.4 though :confused:

The directions int he dev thread seem a little skewed... Can anyone PLEASE help me with an easy step by step guide in English?

(No offense to anyone)

Thank you!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I seriously agree! :eek:
[Atrix 4G General] ssmr2t:
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Cant I just flash that zip file that CWM is in through the charging/ recovery way? (old way) :O
[Atrix 4G General] MdX MaxX:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
[Atrix 4G General] YellowGTO:
Directions seem fine to me:confused:

how to install:

Windows:

unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to D:\ ## Unzip the file to wherever you want D:\ just makes it easy because there is no folders.

open a CMD in windows. ## And navigate to your fastboot directory. For example mine is on D:\Atrix\tools\

fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img ## Once you are in the fastboot directory type fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img or let says you unzipped it to C:\users\downloads. Then you would try fastboot flash recovery C:\users\downloads\recovery-en-goapk.img
[Atrix 4G General] Entry Wounds:
I would say if you can't figure out the instructions you are better off leaving it be. Instructions were as clear as glass.
[Atrix 4G General] ricko2169:
Firstly get the correct CWM recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

Then ensure that your phone still shows "unlocked" when you boot up. If it does not install the "pudding" sbf through RSD Lite again.

Ensure you have fastboot for your OS , or better still have the android SDK installed (fastboot is in the "TOOLS" folder I believe).

Extract the recovery to the root of your OS. Usually C: and as it has a long drawn out name rename it recovery.img (must have the .img extension)

Plug your phone in via the USB cable and put it into fastboot mode by holding down the volume botton while powering on the phone. When you see "fastboot" appear at the top of the screen release the volume down mutton and press volume up once. You should see "starting fasboot protocol support".

Then using a command prompt get into the folder that you put fastboot in.

If it is in the root of your C: then type cd c:\fastboot

Then simply issue the command that goes with where you put the recovery image. Assuming you renamed it recovery.img and left it in the root drive that is C: then the command will look like this.

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

Then issue the command fastboot reboot

Hope that helps.
[Atrix 4G General] LayzeeEyez:
1. Drop the recovery .img in the same folder fastboot is in

2. Shift+right click in folder > "Open command window here"

3. Type in fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-whateveritscalled.img then fastboot reboot when its done

4. ???

5. PROFIT!!

EDIT: Oh, and of course you must be in Fastboot mode for this to work :D
[Atrix 4G General] YellowGTO:
Ah none of the directions list being is fastboot mode. Might be why its not working for them :-X
[Atrix 4G General] LayzeeEyez:
Lol gotta explain how to get into fastboot too?

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] arpruss:
It looks like /data/cache is mainly used by Market for storing downloads. Quite a bit of space can be taken up there. And it looks like one can just relocate that to storage (with root);

su
mkdir /storage/cache
cd /data
rm -rf cache
ln -s /mnt/storage/cache /data/cache

/data/cache won't be available for any apps that need it directly on boot, and those apps may crash, but I haven't noticed anything like that happening on my A43.

As usual with such tricks, use at your own risk and make a backup.

if u ever wanted to downgrade to a 2.2 rom but dont want to odin to stock JFD this is a workaround download the update script below, open the rom go to META-INF/com/google/android and delete the one thats in there and put the one u downloaded in there instead, u may have to extract the rom first and then re-package it depending on what program your using. good luck :D

Just use Odin, don't shortcut it. The OP here has a very very basic idea of the reason and necessity to change these files, and has not provided a complete set of steps in two different "guides" he has posted here, and nobody has been successful as per the reports.

Bottom line, save both yourself and dev in the future a headache, and just use Odin.

Long story short, phone falls out of my pocket about 1ft onto a laminate floor and the whole digitizer decided to crack (so much for really strong screens). I've ordered a replacement digitizer but i cant seem to find anywhere on this ever so vast internet, what adhesive I need to attach the new digitizer.

the phone is running cm7 so i really don't want to go through the hassle of re-flashing it with a stock ROM in the hopes of getting it repaired under warranty.

very stressfull week, and now this :( think im gna go sit in a corner and cry

Any help is really appreciated
[Defy General] farsight73:
Any retail strong glue would do the job as what I see here. Just the case of how details is your work would come. If you do it slow and details without any rush or interuption, I think it will turn out like new you wouldn't notice it has changed the screen.

I've seen a video clip, a guy changing the Defy crack screen and it turned out very dirty. The glue just spread out all over the side of the screen.

You could just do a few practice of using the glue on a different object that required sharp and details hands/fingers and then only come back to work with your delicate DEFY.
[Defy General] Dragox2007:
Thanks for the quick reply :P

if the video is the 3 part one where fixes the screen and forgets he hasn't charged it then i watched that a few Min b4 my first post.

Google'd the names on the adhesive he used and got no results besides music cd's lol.

Would using the wrong kind of glue affect the touch screen? I don't really care about the waterproofing as it will be inside my wrist strap all of the time whilst im on my bike, but i just want to ensure that using the wrong glue wont render my new screen absolutely useless.

My town is riddled with phone repair shops. I got quotes from 4 of them, for just simply glueing the digitizer to the faceplate. Lowest quote i got for 5 min work was £20......... daylight robbery!!!

And my fingers are very accurate for some reason (apart from when trying to hit a link on the defy browser without zooming in grrrrrrrr), glued the trim on my les paul guitar easily, still give it a few practises tho :P

again, thanks for the quick reply
[Defy General] farsight73:
Good...

A good practise is to pour the glue like a water drop on a paper and use a sharp holder like twiser or a pin and take it a little and spreading it along the side of the Defy screen frame evenly.

At the top right up there^^ where it says "user cp", then choose "edit avatar". Pick a photo and upload, you will be good to go.;)

You earn "thanks" by being helpful to people and answer their questions. See the "thanks" button on my post here.? If my post was helpful to you, click the "thanks" button. That will add a 'point' to your profile. So the more you share and the more helpful you are.. the more opportunity you have to earn "thanks" from the community.
