[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jim-bo:
Glad you've found a solution that works for you, but... you do know that password protected zipfiles are encrypted, ;)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Thank you, but regrettably I haven't.

When you zip a folder it of course creates a copy of that folder, zipped, which is not what I want at all. I'm amazed that what I do want doesn't seem to be readily available; in order to open a folder you have to enter a simple password, and then you're in the folder. Simple as that ...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jim-bo:
Well, part of the reason that nobody makes such an app / feature, is that it is pretty much the equivalent of selling a security system for your house that consists of a door that doesn't lock, with a sign on it saying "no unauthorized entry". It really offers no actual protection at all.

That being said, what you're trying to achieve sounds more like you want to protect an app / shortcut on your launcher screen, rather than protecting the folder itself

Take a look at something like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&feature=search_result (I searched for password any app, if you want to see other options). It may let you achieve what you're after.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Thanks for your thoughts. To use your analogy, yes; I do indeed want the sign that says "no unauthorized entry" but I don't want the door to be locked. Precisely!

Perhaps I should explain my situation more closely. I'm taking my Streak in to meetings with colleagues who will also make use of it. All I want is to prevent casual non-malicious access of the folder by other people. I neither need nor want encryption or strong security, I just want that tiny bit of difficulty, the little hint that says "you're not supposed to be doing this".
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
Thanks for your thoughts.

Using your own analogy; yes, that's exactly what I do want; the sign says, "no unauthorized entry", but the door remains unlocked!

Let me explain. I take my Streak in to meetings where it is also used by other people. What I want to prevent is non-malicious, accidental access by others. I want a gentle hint, not a 100% secure lock-out or data encryption, just a little kick that says "you're not supposed to be doing this".

Smart App Protector would be ideal if it would protect a folder. It's exactly what I want, but I need it for for folders, not apps.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jim-bo:
You said that you wanted the prompt to come up when you hit an icon on your desktop - that would be app-protection, or shortcut protection, since it is the launch of the app / shortcut that causes the password prompt.

If you are saying that you are already in a file browser, and you want the prompt to pop up when you choose a certain folder to enter, then you are going to need to find a file browser that supports protecting or "hiding" folders, since it will have to be a direct function of the file browser app itself. I'm afraid that I don't know of any that offer anything like that feature.

To be absolutely clear, there are no features or functions in an SD card filesystem that will allow this sort of security flagging, and to do it at the OS level would involve some relatively low level dalvik / libc / kernel patching, which would require root, a custom ROM, and quite possibly end up being device specific, which explains why you can't find anything in the market.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AidanBell:
I seem to manage to make a habit of this: There are literally tens of thousands of available apps that do everything under the sun. Yet the simple, not unique or unusual, function that I'm after isn't available! Oh well, many thanks for your kind help nevertheless.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jim-bo:
Unfortunately, this one isn't simple (you are asking for a low-level redesign of the security model), and while it may not be uniquem it is something that not many people would want - referring back to the previous metaphor, how many people would buy a front door with no lock, just a keep out sign, really? Especially once they learned that burglars can't always read...

But if I ever do come across anything that might help, I'll definitely let you know :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] marvin02:
Can't you then delete the folder and use the zip. When you tap on the zip you can see the file names, but to open a file you need the PW. Not ideal since ES Fie Explorer doesn't support copying directly to a zip file, but it is as close as you can get, I think.

Edit: I don't usually put shortcuts to things I don't want others peeking at on the homescreen.

Hi

Is there any way that I can get the Winamp controls on my lock screen, just like for the native music player for SGS2. Either that, or is there a widget option for the stock music player. I'm running the KF3 ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bisoner:
You need the Widget Lockscreen App. Works great.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rob_h:
^^^^ This.

One minor point is that this seems to interfere with the program "unlock with wifi" which I use all the time. The widget seems to make unlock with wifi not work for some reason.

Hmm ... I think you need to elaborate more on yr answer please?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tucats:
Is there anything special I need to do to enable HTTP connections when using a non-unlocked phone? I have a G2x and I am trying to do a simple proof of concept:

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

try {
httpResponse = client.execute(request);
} catch (IOException e) {
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
e.printStackTrace();
}

And every time I am getting an "UnknownHostException" for my URL hosted at myappname.appspot.com.

When I visit myappname.appspot.com the site shows up just fine. The request object that the client is supposed to execute has the proper URI which is of the format:

http: / / myappname.appspot.com/r/MyProductModel?feq_scan_code=000111222333

Note: I modified the URL information because the forum won't let me put in URIs until after 8 posts or something...

I must be missing something really dumb, because I don't understand why I get an exception.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've got a little question, i've update to Galnet v3.3 works fine,

any idea what I can do?

[Android Themes] titans808:
Where did you find this "Galnet" launcher?
[Android Themes] corradoswapt:
the Miui launcher does not have an app drawer. all of your apps will be in the home screens. If you dont like it, install another launcher
[Android Themes] jambamkin:
Galnet is the ROM you are using right? Do you mean the indicator which shows you which page you are on? It's theme dependant so try changing the theme.
[Android Themes] wilcoatwork:
Oh sorry for the confusion!

I updated my galnet rom and this had the standard miui launcher, other co workers have the same version and have the same launcher but at the bottom there is a slider normally do you can quickly

slide to the last home screen, that's gone

Cheers,

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigorific:
Hi, the title says it all but I'll elaborate :)

Edit: since nobody answered (maybe to long a question?) - I rephrased the question in the title.

This is for my method of removing battery drain:

On my htc Desire I can have a widget monitoring the current use (battery use). When the device is using a lot more than it's usual 5-6 mA while I'm not actively using it I check what's been using the battery.

On my phone I would use "Spare Parts", go to "Battery History" and change the top selection to "Partial wake usage".

This will in most cases expose the culprit app and I can either figure out what's wrong with it or uninstall it.
​

OK, so that works great on my phone, but on my Xoom tablet "battery history" in spare parts force closes spare parts, and I read somewhere the same data used for that section is nowhere to be found on Honeycomb. No problem when current use was under 10 mA on the Xoom, but now it's suddenly 40-50mA and I need to figure out what is causing it.

So, my questions :)

1) is there a way of readin this same kind of data on honeycomb?

2) if not, what alternatives are people using for reading this kind of data.
​

Btw, I've tried the alternative (not original) Spare parts found in the Market.

And I use currentwidget and batterymonitor widget to check the drain.

Thanks

Look for an app called "Better Battery Stats." It was recently featured on the Portal.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigorific:
Hey, nice tip. Works quite well :)

There is a potential for a very useful app here... With a nice user interface and descriptions that more people would understand...

BetterBatteryStats has that one important feature though - that so many of all the battery apps/widgets miss. partial wake usage (wakelocks in the app).

Which really is all that matters... Works great! :)

[Vibrant General] movieaddict:

[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
And if I don't want a rom and only want Rom Manager on right now?
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Its been awhile but I think if all you want to do is put cwm recovery on the phone you need to modify yo our recovery from a stock 2.2 to 2.1

Easiest way is to odin back to jfd, reboot into recovery, reinstall packages(im guessing that you already have the update.zip on your sd card from prrvious attempts to flash cwm recovery), this should place you in cwm now. If you download a stock kb5 rom and put it on your sd card go ahead and flash that.

Harder way is to modify your recovery following the thread thats in the dev section..might not have to wipe or change roms this way, not sure as I just did it the easy eay.

Hello guys, I just want to ask, what is the kernel version on the Galaxy S2 before being rooted because mine says:

I want to know what this means and how to reset this to the original kernel version.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
I'm pretty sure that is the original kernel. if you download titanium backup(free version) from the market, when u launch the app, it checks for root, and will say if your phone is rooted or not.

Imo, I dont think your phone is rooted.

I want to Unroot my Droid (A855) but keep my stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 ROM by Peter Alfonso.

Would anything happen If I unroot my phone while using a custom ROM

AND

kernel?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tkbowman:
I'm assuming you would still have either SPRecovery or Clockwork recovery still installed.

Make a backup and give it a try. If you don't like it, just reboot into recovery and restore your current ROM (with root). I suspect you won't notice much of a difference with the exception that you will no longer be able to run apps that require root.

What benefit were you expecting to get by removing root?
[HTC Sensation] iunlock:
Is it on the cover? On the phone body itself?

Anyone know the exact location of where it's located?
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Top and Bottom of the back cover
[HTC Sensation] iunlock:
Thanks...I'm assuming that the main antenna is toward the bottom of the phone since people have been complaining about the death grip issue?

If the main antenna was indeed on the very top then the death grip would be irrelevant since the top never gets covered by your hand. When holding the phone, the hand usually grips the middle-bottom portion of the phone.

Pretty interesting....hhmm..

I take it the very upper left gold contact part and the bottom gold part are where the antennas are located? ?
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
All of them are antenna contacts. Two for the cellular radio (one at the top and one at the bottom), one for the GPS and one for the BT/WiFi
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Not true. It's touching or covering the top area of the phone that causes the wifi problem. It typically occurs in landscape mode where the left hand is holding the top back part of the phone. You can see vids on YouTube showing it. It's also been shown just by touching the very top edge, or specific spots on the top side of the back.
[HTC Sensation] iunlock:
I was referring to specifically to the cell phone signal. As mentioned, I have reason to believe that the bottom antenna may be the main voice/web (3g/4g) signal? Which may be responsible for the death grip?

Anyhow, I just wanted clarification as to what the four gold points are specifically responsible for.

So let's start with the bottom. That may be the voice/web antenna?

Upper right (two gold contacts) wifi and gps?

Upper left (one gold point) for voice?
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
Death grip people are talking about is wifi, not mobile network. I don't have problems with mobile network signal, but I have BIG problems with wifi.

[HTC Sensation] iunlock:

The top contact is for the additional antenna that gives the HTC Sensation 4G receive diversity AKA less of a death grip effect when using the phone in portrait mode. It's an additional antenna

WiFi

GSM

3G/4G

EDIT (10/30/2011): Thanks to member dirtyblueshirt

A is the GPS antenna.

B is the WiFi/Bluetooth antenna. (I agree, tested pins)

C is the "Diversity" antenna (rx only). (Can't be, I just tested and got GPS signal to be stronger on these pins)

D/E is the GSM/WCDMA antenna.

[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Actually A is the RX diversity antenna, and I'm pretty sure the WiFi and BT antenna is the one below the camera opening. Not sure though

The main cellular antenna is definitely at the bottom.
[HTC Sensation] dirtyblueshirt:
A is GPS and Diversity is below the camera per the FCC filing attached here:

My current theory (since the XE lacks antenna "A") is that if the filing photo is correct, the Diversity antenna may act a backup for the GPS antenna. Or the filing could be wrong and GPS/diversity are switched, in which case the XE doesn't have a Diversity antenna.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
That's what I was thinking, the international Sensation doesn't have the contact there (A) and the Sensation 4G is the one with RX Diversity. It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for them to completely switch the antenna spots around. It could be possible tho

[Android Software Development] Eat it iPhone:
Just started teaching myself to program Android apps. I have a book called "Android Apps for Absolute Beginners" by Wallace Jackson. Im in the process of making a hello world app and the instructions for making an icon for my app is a bit convoluted.

I have 3 icons, 72x72, 48x48, and 32x32. I have put them in /res/drawable-hdpi/icon.png, /drawable-mdpi/icon.png, /drawable-ldpi/icon.png, respectively.

The app runs in the emulator, but when i goto the app drawer it shows a default icon instead of mine.

Any help would be great. As a side note, is 72x72/hdpi what would be used for qHD and 1280x800 tablet screens?
[Android Software Development] Eat it iPhone:

[Android Software Development] ericcarboni:
Your Manifest file must point to the name of your icon in the drawable folder, instead of the default icon. So do that where it says android:icon="@drawable/icon"
[Android Software Development] eatmold:
Not sure how you are having problems here.... If you have not edited the manifest file it will look for the icon.png in whichever drawable folder the phone is using. Eg.. HTC Desire will read from drawable-hdpi.

This is a good resource for creating icons btw...

http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/index.html

One thing to note is that the emulator (and sometimes real devices) are bad at refreshing icons. Try and uninstall your app before running it again from Eclipse.

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] atrix103:
As a current Motorola atrix owner as well as a pixi owner, I love the polished UI and multitasking abilities of WebOS much more than Android. That being said, the device I currently use is almost four times more powerful than my pixi and nearly as powerful as the new touchpad. I was thinking that if the homebrew community is able to port WebOS to not only more powerful hardware but more hardware in general it would greatly benefit the survival and well-being of WebOS. So would anybody want to develop a port for the Motorola Atrix? I will offer as much of my help as possible.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] anghelyi:
I would love to see this project take off! Even if I have no Atrix ;)

In theory this can be done as WebOS built on top of Linux kernel (the same way as Android) and the kernel modifications are available from HP. But the whole OS is not open source so I'm not sure how legal a port would be... It's not a technical problem (even I was able to get to root image) but it can stop a lot of developers... But as I said, I'm fully supporting this project!

Are there anyone who knows how to extract the uImage? Or that if it has a similar initramfs as th Android zImage?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] atrix103:
To be honest I have to reasons for choosing the atrix, 1. I have it and I want a port :p. 2. It should be simpler, if not at least a little more straight forward, to port the HP Touchpad's image to the Attic since they have similar specs and are both based on ARM Cortex A-9 architecture.
