[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Emblema:
The script does not work, but copying everything by hand, then it works perfectly!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pierrex10:
what do you mean by copying everything by hand? from where to where i have to copy the files and what files ?

thanks man :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Emblema:
Open zip, look directory name and position, drag and drop files to same positions on the sdcard.

Great work :)

If anyone is interested I've created a tasker project to launch and close bt5.

So, about how it works, create a tasker widget leading to "Backtrack" task, this shows an on off slider, sliding it to on launches terminal emulator and types all commands then launches androidVNC and connects to bt, while it is typing the commands to the terminal i launches and full screen transparent overlay as a touch lock. It is quite simple so i didn't implement any way to stop the process. sliding it to off launches terminal and types the shutdown commands (all from 1st post) this uses black button hd iconpack (net.dinglisch.android.ipack.blackbuttonhd)(not important but i forgot to change the icons to some default), terminal emulator (jackpal.androidterm) and androidVNC (android.androidVNC) and assumes androidVNC is configured to connect to bt5 ui so it just presses the connect button.

sliding to on types in terminal

su

cd /sdcard/bt

sh installbt.sh

startbt

bt

ui

and sliding to off types

killui

exit

stopbt

exit

exit

maybe someone finds this useful :)

Someone could compile this Mali driver for X server, maybe we can run ubuntu natively without VNC to provide better experience.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] curioct:
No not the sdcard they need copying to the same folders they are in, in the zip file if you are doing it manually. This is what install.sh is supposed to do

Good evening dude :)

I am going to buy this tablet (s7 SLIM) and I'm looking forward to knowing some things:

1. I've read that unofficial launchers don't work unless I root my device (how to?)

2. Is there a tweak to rotate home/apps/calls screens?

3. Installing third part dialers (go dialer e.g.) does the dialer rotate?

4. What about battery life?

Thank you.

I'm having a problem with the time stamps in the messaging app.

If I send out a message at 3pm then the time stamp comes up as 3pm. However whenever I receive a message its always 4 hours behind.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,

Me being a total phone noob, bought a HTC sprint evo 4g and brought it outside the US. There is no simcard slot, so i cannot change my service provider, it seems it is definitely locked to Sprint. Is there a way that to be able to use the phone outside the US? will rooting the phone allow the phone to work with a different service provider?
[HTC Incredible S] amokkatxda:
Hi XDA people. In folder /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files right now I have 2095 files named thumbnail_photo_(\d+).jpg. Those are thumbnails for contacts pictures. I have may be 20+ contacts with pictures attached (of ~300 overall), All these files are duplicates. Dated since I first turned phone ON I think. And duplicated ~once a day for every thumbnail. What's going on? It can theretically eat all my data's partition space :)

I have installed Skype, version 1.0.0.983 and twitter account. Some contacts are linked skype/twitter/phone/google. Pictures at most from skype, 1 from twitter.

I have HTC Incredible S, started with stock ROM (i think this duplication started in stock ROM), now I have Android Revolution 1.1.1.

Any help appreciated.
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
facebook

do you have facebook on your phone?

becuase i have a low res preview thumbnail of every dp of any body iv ever searched on Facebook and any photos. the photos are no bigger than my finger nail. their cache so if you ever view them agian you dont have to donwload, it speeds your phone up
[HTC Incredible S] amokkatxda:
I dont use facebook. In my case I have 100-150 duplicate JPGs (same size, even md5 of them I think:D) for every contact (which have pic. attached). Im not sure if it somehow can speed up my phone :mad:
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
ummm

maybe your phone thinks their cute? lol but that is weird if you really want to get rid of them then do a full wipe of everything (expect battery stats) and install a fresh rom

but they wont slow down your phone as it uses flash storage, and can you tell how much space their taking up?>

also what rom are you using ?
[HTC Incredible S] amokkatxda:
Be serious, jul644. They took 18 Mb. 95% of them are orphans I guess, they are not linked to contacts2.db. So who will clean this up if not manually delete them?

This strange effect started in stock HTC ROM, now I have Android Revolutin, which is almost same, at least in HTC Sense part.
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
humm

are you backing up all your contacts with google?>

Becuase iv flashed so many roms and back up my contacts i have 8 copies of every contact.

http://www.google.com/contacts

find duplicate's and delete?

Did you do a full wipe when moving rom's

(maybe its just copies not removed)

but this is very weird indeed ill see if i have the same issue
[HTC Incredible S] amokkatxda:
Yes, I do contacts sync with google, but there are no duplicates of contacts not in phone nor in "google contacts" via web. All my backups I do by nandroid in cwm, bever backedup/restored via Titanium nor phone did not full contacts fetch from online store.

So I found something interesting today.

I removed photos from contacts, disabled contact aggregation on twitter and skype etc., cleaned that folder.

Configured contacts sync and aggregation with skype and twitter again.

Checked folder - only one copy for every picture.

That was three days ago. What I have now: contacts with twitter and flickr pictures are still in one copy, but pictures got from skype are now in 3 copies each. Their modification times are with the difference in 24 hours.

Need to check if they all are listed in contacts2.db. Will post result soon.

jul644 I guess you are not using skype on your phone?
[HTC Incredible S] jul644:
wow

So i have exactly 9 999 thumbnail's lol

Every fb contact iv (scrolled past)

all twitter contacts i have and i have looked at

all skype contacts

and all google contacts

and i have doubles(and triples maybe quads) even for contacts that are not linked (ie facebook and twitter)

it stops at 9,999 which is probably some value

and the space this takes up on my phone is TBA im currently copying the folder to my sd card so i can view the size

610 files used 3.84 mb of space

also now that iv seen the pictures

they are thumbnails of every picture that has been on your phone including websites.....

this is huge for example i cleared all the browser files (deleted history cache ect ect)

but! pictures from the past still show up (like web site logos and pictures from sites)

i now know how to really creep peoples android phones!

i can see everything! (up untill 9 999) tho
[Thunderbolt General] loveubuntu:
I use Yahoo Mail. I know, I know, WHY? But for those like me who are stuck with Yahoo for one reason or another and hate the Yahoo Mail Android app, I found that the solution I used for my Droid 1 solves the glitches Yahoo Mail has in the HTC Thunderbolt.

For the most part, choosing Yahoo Mail from the native email app works but won't refresh, download, or send on a regular basis. So when you are setup, go into settings (or you can setup as imap from the start) and replace "htc" for "android" in the imap and smtp server settings. Here is my original thread:

[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
I have $50 for the person that roots my EVO. I dont mean next year either. Im talking rooting it in a timely manner. I fully understand devs have lives, and new phones their trying to root in some cases :) I just wanna add a little incentive for getting it done. I just bought this EVO last night after returning my 3rd Nexus S 4G due to radio issues. The rep told me it would have 2.2.1 out of the box but did not. Although it runs very smooth with 2.3.3 on it, I prefer aosp over sense.
[EVO 4G General] dcc0011:
that sux man! is a return an option? I would think you could find a reputable seller that knows the product better than who you received your evo from! my local sprint store can hook up deals on used evos in "exelent condition" check your local store if it isn't corporate. Some sellers on ebay actually know what the product too. that's what the message feature is for. look for someone in florida!!
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
I payed $100 for this one and have black tie protection so i wouldnt want a used one. But root would be nice. I know it will happen eventually, just want the devs to know that there are people that appreciate their work and time. And, hopefully get someone to take time away from the 3D also :P
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
Who is working on rooting it? Is anyone?
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
no body cares about this phone anymore. HOWEVER, IF YOU TAKE IT TO A SPRINT STORE! ASK THEM TO DOWNGRADE IT FOR YOU! lol! no joke. just do it! BUT you must know the difference between a corp store and franchise
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
LOL, they cant downgrade it any more than we can at this point. There is way to many EVO 4G owners for this thing to go unrooted forever. I hope...
[EVO 4G General] geeksquadryder:
Your best bet at this point is to swap the phone on Craigslist along with the $50. There are a few folks who don't use the phone no more and didn't do the upgrade. There are ads on Craigslist for evo trades only. They get to make $50 but still sell the evo for there asking price.

Sent from my evo
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
Thats something I thought about, I just dont want to lose the insurance from Best Buy. I plan on buying the Photon when it drops anyway, so I guess its not a huge deal. I guess I just thought for $50 someone would take a few hours(or whatever) to figure it out. Its all about the downgrade, that much I know. Hopefully someone figures out a way to get it to work.
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
no sprint store has that capability, only htc does , and even contacting them directly about it just produces a nice " we cannot downgrade it because it would render your device innoperable" ......

im sorry but short of desoldering nand and reflashing ...yeah...just wait till they are tired with the 3d and somone MIGHT get back to evo, but for now, i think there are thousands of us on the "i kinda hate my phone now" boat , someone will eventually do it i guess, i personally think this release is a trainwreck , and id rather have stock froyo than this tbh but we are pretty boned for the time being..
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
downgrading/rooting 2.3.3 its the same problem,i believe the hboot simply WILL NOT let you install anything other than a signed , higher version newer date ruu

unless someone finds a way to change the version number on the ruu package itself (short of impossible to do judging by what little understanding i have of code and programming) you cant install anything thats the thing...

the hboot on the 3d is similar i believe to the evos hboot, once they crack that one , that knowledge may make doing it on evo 4g a possible task, but im just monitoring the pertinent threads/channels at this point until i can upgrade on sprint or i manage to sell my evo so i can get a 3d
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
I chose this unrooted EVO 4G over the 3D last night. The 3D is really nice, but the screen size is a little narrow, and that was one of my big issues with the NS4G.

Well, this offer will stand for a few weeks. Ill say August 8th is the cutoff for me to give $50 to the person that gets us root. If my phone is rooted by that day, the person that figured it out is getting paid.
[EVO 4G General] liable:
I used there black tie and they sent me a refurb 2.2 on it try that
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
And if they dont send me one with 2.2, I just swapped a brand new phone for a refurb.
[EVO 4G General] liable:
do it 3 times and you get a brand new device
[EVO 4G General] mikeyinid:
Fraudulant insurance claims are probably one of the main reasons the manufacturers are locking their phones down. Im not saying not to do it, Im saying I prefer not to do it.
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
and at the end its just going to cost both him and the company money, and solve nothing, as all phones come with 2.3.3 now, even more so if its a new one....

so as others have said, your best bet is craiglist or waiting pretty much
[EVO 4G General] liable:
as of thursday no they dont i just got my refurb 2.2 with black tie its free to replace for any reason but lost or stolen
[EVO 4G General] complex88:
Android 2.2 went live Aug 3, 2010 and it was rooted Aug 26, 2010. Which for those of you who can't add thats 23 days. Android 2.3 went live June 15, 2011 and its July 10, 2011 which puts us at 25 days. So I would say that we are right on course for something to be announced soon.
[EVO 4G General] geeksquadryder:
Best bet is to wait but keep in mind there is no guarantee that the 3d will be rooted by then either.

I just got the Evo 4G and it came with the game Nova already on it. I don't play that game nor do I care to so I tried uninstalling it but could not find it in the market, so I downloaded an app to uninstall other apps, but Nova doesn't show up on my list. So my question is, how do i get rid of Nova?

Sent from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cbettis007:
Root your phone, download and pay for pro version of titanium backup.... You will see Nova in the apps list along with every other app, bloatware, etc... press on Nova then select wipe data then uninstall.. it will give you warnings that it is a system component, but don't worry, just say yes/OK to the prompts and it will be permanently gone. Get rid of as much bloatware as possible. Your system will run much better!!

Keep in mind, any time you flash a radio (or a ROM to a smaller extent) it can take several battery cycles for it to settle and really be judged. Make sure to run the battery completely down from full at least once.
[Motorola Droid X2] Avelnan:
Has anyone tried calling Verizon about these issues? If so, what did they do about it?

They shouldn't be giving out the same phone, when the problem isn't hardware, it's software, and all the phones they send out will have the same software which won't make any difference.
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
..........what issues
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
The slowness, the crashing, etc.
[Motorola Droid X2] c21johnson:
I'm on #6 from Verizon's "certified like new" replacement program. I've told them every time it is defective hardware that the device is shipped with and there's no way they can physically "repair" it. They say that they cannot do anything about it but ship me another "certified like new" replacement phone of the same model.
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
i have never had my phone crash on me or random reboot.

slowness is relative, for the most part the supercharger script fixed the issues I had, but yes we need 2.3 to fully take advantage of both cores
[Motorola Droid X2] c21johnson:
Device1: Issues with 3g and wifi

Device2: Hardware screen problems

Device3: Would no activate, randomly shut off while trying to activate. Activated via website, couldn't make calls.

Device4: Receives multiple SMS messages and a pixel is out on the screen (after 1 week use)

Device5: Same problem as device 3.

Awaiting device 6. I haven't had the best of luck with the DroidX2. I'm really wanting to take advantage of the dual core greatness when GB finally hits, but I'm very very tempted to switch over to an Inc2.

Opinions?
[Motorola Droid X2] slowz3r:
you could switch but then you will just find problems with the inc2...not trying to be a smartass its just how it is unfortunatly

only device i was ever 100% happy with was my N1 and NS...everything else made me wanna bash my head into the wall
[Motorola Droid X2] Emperorr:
Am I the only one who hasn't had any real problems yet? I did only get it 2 weeks ago, but so far the worse that has happened was 1 random reboot which seemed to resend an old text to my friend. Since then though no issues. Especially since rooting it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Avelnan:
I tried calling them and they said if I have the problem again, they will do their best to get me into a different device, although this phone was a replacement for my Fascinate so I'm highly doubtful they will do much about it.
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
This is a pretty crappy phone out of the box. It took the v6 script to make it bearable. Would be nice if Motorola did it out of the box. I felt like I was using my old G1 for a while instead of a dual core phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] spr0k3t:
Out of the box I had so many problems it wasn't even funny. I had reboots, crashes, force quits like mad... all of it related to motoblur (I'm almost certain of that). Before the full hour of ownership passed, I had finalized my research, rooted, scripted, froze, and replaced every component I could safely. Since then I haven't seen any problems. My battery lasts for about three days and barely even gets down to 60%. Three weeks into ownership, not one hiccup since the zero hour.

So, before I did anything with the phone... it sucked out of the box... and it always will until Motorola pulls their head out of their asses.
[Motorola Droid X2] Avelnan:
I did all of the above and still have all of those issues. You are one lucky sir.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Three days for a single charge? Do you not use it at all? Mine gets maybe half a day.
[Motorola Droid X2] Avelnan:
I get 12 hours. With heavy usage.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
I got my Droid X2 the day it came out, and have had zero problems with it that were unbearable. Occasionally it does reboot randomly, but it's like whatever, it does it once a week maybe. The battery is incredible, I can last a fully day if I do nothing but play heavy games and/or other heavy usage. I haven't had any force close issues, and it sure as hell isn't slow.

I don't understand all these posts saying it's slow and crappy...
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
Well it must be nice to be you.
[Motorola Droid X2] 1stx2:
this. really haven't had any problems out of it that would make me want to get rid of it......
[Motorola Droid X2] HerbManORedEye:
I also have to say you are lucky! I got it online day one and was having an amazing amount of reboots and really just plain horrible performance. I was begging for my HTC Hero200 with CM7 till I rooted the phone got launcher pro & put on the V6 script. Since then things have been slightly better than the Hero but I was expecting so much more!
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
Rooted and supercharged here. I have zero problems. I LOVE MY DX2!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] starscream84:
Verizon doesn't care... why? Cuz they already have our money... so its technically our own fault because we keep giving Motorola another chance and keep buying these phones.... and why bash the dinc2 ? It already has s-off so they are running custom roms as we speak. I will never buy another motorola product espicially after what they just pulled with the Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid X2] pvcdroid:
Rooting and scripting are really important steps for this phone until GB is released for it. What a pain and I sympathize for those that are having issues right out of the box but don't have the skill sets to fix the memory problems. Now it looks like Matt at Moto is out for a couple weeks so we will probably be into late August for GB on this device. The funny thing it that the official reviews that trickle out for this phone are really good. I doubt that they are rooting or anything else to speed up the phone. This will get better and I don't regret upgrading from the X. A GB leak would be soooo nice.
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
This isn't necessarily true. They do care. Call and tell then your legitimate issues and they will replace your phone at their expense under warranty...
