ok, turned off fast boot and restarted, titanium doesnt have permissions anymore so I guess that killed the root, gonna go swap.

@ Randy: How did you get Sprint to send you an airwave for free?
[HTC EVO 3D] xBryan:
isnt hard just call them and say you have no service at home and your calls are dropping. Thats wat i said and had one on my doorstep in 4 days.

Same thing I'm wondering . My radios are fine and pulling 9mb download on 4G and 3g about .60mb .
[Android Software Development] Akusari:
Hi there,

it seems to be that some manufactor's, like HTC (Sense 3.0), overwrite the "installLocation" attribute through own patched android os versions.

I don't know if this is true, but in fact i have the problem that my app SD-Booster can be moved to SD-Card without a "installLocation" XML statement in the AndroidManifest.xml file.

Well, i guess they use own implemented formulas to verify each app, but in this case it doesn't work very well.

HTC Nexus One (Stock Rom 2.3.3): SD-Booster v1.5.1 can't be moved (option disabled)

HTC Sensation (HTC Stock Rom/Sense 3.0/2.3.3) SD-Booster v1.5.1 can be moved!

Any ideas?

Regards

Akusari
[Android Software Development] Akusari:
Here are some screenshots, shows up the ****:

Identical installations...

HTC Nexus One (works correct)

HTC Sensation (failed, allow moving)
[Android Software Development] eatmold:
Well this can be overiden with ADB:

adb shell

setInstallLocation 2

So HTC could well have set this in their ROM... seems strange, but I guess you have proof :-)
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
So if there is no way to stop htc from letting users move your app you could do a check for install location and disable the functionality (if any will be comprised by the app moving) and prompt the user to move it back before letting them use the app

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] Akusari:
Yes, it looks like that i must do something in this direction... :(
[Android Software Development] Akusari:
Thanks for the information :)

Yes, it's pretty heavy, isn't it ?

I hope some other devs doing a verification as well and if it's a real problem we should find more app issues anyway.

Regards,

Akusari
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bstarr3:
I am running into SD card mounting problems on MIUI. After I load the rom, everything works fine for a while. Then the SD card will show up as having been ejected. I remove and replace the card, and if it is read at all, it's read as blank or damaged. It reads fine both on a computer and on this phone running other roms. What's even weirder is that, although the card reads fine on CWM at first, once I start having problems with it in the ROM, it won't mount in CWM either.

I have reloaded the rom three times now. First time was from DL09 stock, second time from EB01 stock, last time from CM7. Both times I went to stock I used the instructions from development (atlas.pit, repartition). All times I wiped cache, data, dalvik. I've flashed both from CWM4 and CWM3. I've used two different SD cards (both sandisk, a 2g and 32g) I've tried wiping and formatting the cards, both on the phone and on the computer. I've tried battery pulls and reboots. I've tried both cards. I've tried restoring apps from Titanium (just apps, no data) as well as fresh from the market.

From where I am now (card never mounts on ROM or on CWM, even if blank and freshly formatted), the only thing that has worked in the past is to go back to stock and reflash the ROM. But that doesn't seem to be a long term fix, because each of the three times I've done it, the problem just returns, and I can't identify anything I'm doing wrong. I haven't had problems with CM7 or comrom, but I really want to make MIUI work! Help!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesh.monster:
I am curious as well about SD issues on AOSP in general. I was having the same issues on CM7 then shortly after it started I lost roughly 5 gig of data off my card, including all my pics. I was able to recover the pics with Recuva but I am still wondering why.

I remember reading a short blurb about this some weeks ago but haven't been able to find it again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed3000ca:
Hi all, great forum, I've learned quite a bit from just reading all the threads but I have a headscratcher I couldn't find anything on and hopefully someone can answer this as I'm losing my mind trying to figure it out. :(

I have a Telus Milestone which works perfectly fine with CM7 RC12 on the Telus network in Canada. Every time I travel to Europe or other places it just won't connect to the local network, just emergency calls.

I tried every single baseband in AOR 3.3 but nothing works. I also tried different roms (Cronos X 1.5, FroyoMOD 2.9.1, wiping phone, factory reset, etc.

Even tried the Moto Defy baseband switcher with no luck. AFAIK this phone is capable of 850/1900/2100 bands. :confused:

Really appreciate any help!!! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
Well, according to this - http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1641030-Does-the-Telus-Milestone-support-2100MHz-3G - Telus Milestone should support European frequencies, but not 2g and it have same hw like MM for Europe.

Some time ago I was a TelusLite rom for Milestone user and it was working well with 2g and 3g after change to Germany baseband (in Poland). Without baseband change it was only working on 3g.

Maybe you need to flash some European-compatible rom (eg. FroyoMod/CM7) and then try?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed3000ca:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I tried changing to Germany baseband which should work but it doesn't. In my case I'm trying to connect to Orange Romania which uses 900/1900/2100.

I did try FroyoMod which is Italian if I'm not mistaken, it was developed by 89luca89. Also tried different flavours of CM and Cronos.

It almost seems as if I have to unlock first or maybe Telus is blocking my account from roaming... is that even possible?

I've ordered an unlock code from cellunlocker.net, hopefully after unlocking I can use a local SIM and see if it connects.

Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
Hm. It is strange that it doesn't working on every rom.

Maybe Telus don't have an agreement for roaming with Orange Romania? I think that it is a problem with one of the cell operators, not with your phone.

Good luck with local SIM ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed3000ca:
Yeah, strange indeed.

I doubt it is Orange RO as I tried it in Paris, France last week and it wouldn't connect to any network there either, Orange, SFR, etc. A couple of months ago I couldn't connect to Cubacel either. I just figured the commies don't like Canadian smartphones. LOL

I have a feeling Telus has my account locked from roaming. I'm praying the local SIM will work.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed3000ca:
Well, just as I suspected, Telus must have the SIM locked from roaming. The unlock code from cellunlocker.net worked like a charm. Phone connects to local Orange RO network, full 3G data connectivity too. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
It's good news :) I'm happy that you managed it to work.

Looks like Telus don't want you to use other operators. But there is no impossible things ;)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
Just made another small app which reads the next upcoming calendar events and shows them on your lockscreen (in the text field where normally alarm apps show the next alarm).

ToDo:

separate date string for all-day events - done

configurable "look-ahead" time - done

Known problems:

some users reported a wrong sorting of the events. seems not to affect every device though

repeating events are ignored

if another app shows text in the same textfield, it might overwrite the calendar events

requires android 2.2 or 2.3 as the calendar content provider changed in froyo

doesn't look nice on android 3.0+ therefore i marked it as incompatible with these versions. i'll search for a alternative way to display the events on the lockscreen, not sure if that's possible though

Downloads:

Android Market
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
Looks good, installed and will let you know if there's any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Hatshipuh:
Looks nice, works good so far.

DAS FEST /o/
[Android Apps and Games] rori~:
congrats - what a simple and cool UI !
[Android Apps and Games] Norbert06:
Yeah, something ive searched for :)

thx
[Android Apps and Games] IharpI:
Really NICE app, but pleeeeease add location display!

For me the location of events is really important!
[Android Apps and Games] chrisonline:
Great app! Works good.

Only one problem.

It shows me instead of the second appointment "null".

For example:

1 appointment on 27.07. -> is displayed correct

1 appointment on 29.07. -> is not displayed

Instead it is displayed:

28.07. null

At 28.07. ther is no calendar entry!

Using in on Android 2.3.3 with Nexus One.
[Android Apps and Games] Double-UA:
Great job!

Very useful indeed and works like a charm!

Great UI and great job!

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thanks for the feedback!

location is added in newest version, the "null"-bug should hopefully also be fixed
[Android Apps and Games] highKo:
will this work on a sense lockscreen, too? (i have sense 3.0 lockscreen)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
it should work on every lockscreen that normally displays the next upcoming alarm. dont know if the sense 3.0 slider does that, but the pattern/PIN/password definitly does
[Android Apps and Games] beeflin:
Not updating

For me, Lockscreen Calendar only updates manually from the app. Events from yesterday are still at the top of the list.
[Android Apps and Games] garveygibbs:
Really nice app love the idea...but it dont seem to work with unity sense 3.0 rom/lockscreen
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
Only "problem" I have found so far is the stupid Samsung Task Manager is rather kill-happy and I have to re-launch the calendar every now and then.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisonline:
Yes "null" is fixed!

Thanks for the quick fix!
[Android Apps and Games] Keland44:
nice keep up the good work look forward to seeing what else gets modified
[Android Apps and Games] Rockwig:
Update frequency

Would it be possible to have it update every 15 minutes?
[Android Apps and Games] defro:
works great with CM7

Nice app. Works with pattern unlock screen on CM7.

One request:

Is there a way to monitor Activesync calendar events when using Touchdown? Other calendar apps specifically have a "monitor touchdown calendar" so I assume they do things a bit differently.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yeah right. found that bug, will be fixed in next version!

actually the app doesn't run all the time so it shouldn't cause any problem killing it. i guess you suffer from the same "no update" bug as beeflin (which, again, is as good as fixed)

in the upcoming version you will be able to enter decimal values in the update field. so 15 min = 0.25 hours ;)

ehm.. i dont know. i'm querying the default android calendar content provider, some of the first google results when you search for "android work with calendar" ^^
[Android Apps and Games] chrisonline:
Can you add a horizont to show for calendar entries?

For example look only two days ahead.
[Android Apps and Games] 4rv1nd8:
Does not work for the SGS 2.. :(
[Android Apps and Games] JueLue:
Very nice!!

One wish: I set the Date formate to "EE, dd.MM. HH:mm" to also show the hour and minute of the calendar event.

Problem ist: all "all day long events" are shown with a concrete starting time (in my case "02:00") instead of "all day" for example.

Is it possible to correct this?

Thanks for your nice prog!

JueLue
[Android Apps and Games] whatsek:
Very nice, exactly what I was looking for! Simple but perfect. One question, the update times, is that for updating new entries, or updating the data displayed on the lockscreen?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i'll try to fix this in the next versions

the update time is for querying the calendar for new entries and removing past events. additionally, the app checks after each unlock if the text on the lockscreen is up to date and refreshes it if needed (uses the saved data from the last update).
[Android Apps and Games] Sn0opy:
Found a bug. While I'm loading the device, the "hey, im currently loading"-text will be moved to the right, but is still shown on the right side of the screen (as you can see in the screenshot)
[Android Apps and Games] phoenix2149:
This app doesn't seem to work with my Incredible S. The default lockscreen of Sense keeps appearing.

Do I have to start something else? or root the phone
[Android Apps and Games] Sn0opy:
Did you already tried another lockscreen? Pin or pattern for example. Maybe it will only appear on them
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
doesnt work on the lockscreens modified by HTC or Samsung as they don't show the alarm string. nothing i can do about that until the manufacturers change their lockscreens to show that information.

"hey, im currently loading" text can't be hidden but as this only appears when it's loading, i guess it's not that annoying ^^
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
repeating events should now also be shown, please report any problem you might experience with them, thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lampe26:
it looks nice ;D
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
Hi all!

First to thank this useful app to the dev... congratulations.

I've tried it and i've enconuntered some "bugs" IMHO.

- It overwrites alarmdroid info.

- The events appear with sliding text instead in a list. This has a problem... I can see the first event, but when it starts to slide... before I can read the next event, my screen fades... Maybe someone likes the sliding text, it's possible to include in config the possibility to choose between both?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, it overwrites alarm information because the app "abuses" the next_alarm_string to show the calendar events. so the app which writes something in there, will overwrite the previous string. as it seems like this is the only text field which is changeable by user apps, i dont see any chance of changing that behaviour...

for the sliding text: i dont really get what you mean. nevertheless, as i said this is only a text field which doesnt allow much modifications. so i cant change how the text appears, but only what text...
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
Well, thanks for your answer:

- Is it not possible to read next_alarm_string, concat the new information with the prexistent one and then write it?

- At the first post, looking at the images I see 2 events in two different lines. Although with my LG OB I see all the events in a simple line with text sliding. I understand what you say... you only put the info at next_alarm_string but... Do you insert a CR (carriage return) between the different events?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yeah it would be possible to concate them, but it's difficult to know if the previous string was an alarm string or if there were old calendar events. but i'll think about it.

and yes, there's a \n between each event which causes multiple lines on each device i've tested the app :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Huexxx:
Yeah, great response from developer...

Maybe you can add a control character (not visible) in order to know if the data is from another app or older events.

And the sliding text must be a LG Lockscreen specific problem... maybe this app deliverately concats the different lines and uses sliding text... How to prevent it? I don't know... Changing lockscreen?

Thanks you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] drauks:
After the implementation of reoccurring events in the latest update, now it only shows the reoccurring events and no others.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yeah, i read that a lot in the market comments. however, i cant reproduce the problem, it's working fine on all devices i can test it.

what device/ROM do you use?

can you give some more information about the events? like are they in different calendars, when should they take place, how's your look ahead time and how many events do you want to display?
[Android Apps and Games] MonacoHias:
I can can confirm that only recurring events are shown.

Device: HTC Desire (PVT1) S-Off & rooted

ROM: OXYGEN 2.1.2 (AOSP Gingerbread) = Stock Android Lockscreen

Events: Only stored in 1 Google account

Event type: ca. 4 every day with start and end time, duration mostly 30 minutes plus ca. 4 recurring events per month

Look ahead time: 2 weeks

Refresh: 1h

Events to show: next 3

Show location: Off

Date format: both default (dd.MM.)

Anyway, great concept & app - I'm sure you can fix this little bug ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tjex:
Doesn't seem to work well if you have multiple calendars. I have about 7 and it wont show the next event. Not sure how it picks what to show.

Nexus S - 2.3.4

Stock ROM

hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i still have no idea what could possibly cause the problem. i've added a dozen calendar with even more test-events (repeating, allday, 'normal') and still get the right output on every device.

can someone post the output of alogcat with the tag "LockscreenCalendar" when pressing the "update now" button in the app?
[Android Apps and Games] MonacoHias:
I will post the file - but to be honest, I have no idea how to create it and where it is stored then on the device :o. Maybe you could either PM me with a short how-to or describe it here. :)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, just install an app like this, enable the loggin feature within the app, then open lockscreen calendar and press "update now", go back to the loggin app and select "send by mail" or something like that. then you can send it to yourself, have a look at the log to make sure it doesnt contain any personal information, and then send it to android[at]j4velin.de :)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
okay as some people have the problem with the wrong ordering of the events, it seems like you can't trust the sqllite "order by" statement. i implemented a "manual" sorting algorithm now, so hopefully the events are now correctly sorted by their starting time.

can someone test the attached version? new version is now in the market
[Android Apps and Games] MonacoHias:
Great, the new version from market works as it should. All events are displayed as expected. Timed, all-day and recurring events in the right order! :D

Only thing: if set to 3 events 4 are shown, same with 2, then 3 are shown. But thats ok.

P.S.: do you need the logcat anymore?

EDIT: After a reboot the lockscreen displays only the next alarm. To show calendar events you have to manually update first.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
well, if it works like it should then i dont need any logs ;)

about the alarm thing: problem is, that if there are other apps on your system which use the same text field to display something (like the next alarm) then each app will overwrite the text set by a previously app. lockscreen calendar will check the text on each lockscreen unlock and replace it with the calendar events if anything else is set
[Android Apps and Games] georgi55:
Thanks for the very cool and useful app.

I do have one question - one of my family member decided to remove the app as they figured calendar on home screen is enough for them but the last 2 appointments stayed. Reinstalling the app and unchecking all calendars doesn't seem to remove them either, how can the lock screen be cleaned?

Found answer: Disable an alarm and reenable it, that refreshed the lock screen thus updating it.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] A.Priori:
why do your apps need accessibility to read credit card info?
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
i will implement an "uninstall" option in the next version which will clear the text

do buy me nice things of course. but seriously, which permission do you mean? i've set up the following:

android.permission.READ_CALENDAR - well, i guess you know why i need that...

android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS - to actually change the text on the lockscreen

android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - to start the update intervall after rebooting

none of them should be able to get me rich. especially as the app doesnt have the internet permission and therefore cant even send me anything...
[Android Apps and Games] RussianNiklas:
WTF? After updating all is OK!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yeah that was a bug in the old version, should be fixed in the current versions
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Text color

Hi,

Nice app - thanks - am just checking it out from the market...

Quick question - any chance of allowing us to change the text color of the appointments in the future? :)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
nope, sorry thats not possible :(
[Android Apps and Games] jna9000:
Very nice app indeed.

I've got an additional wish however: Can the app be configured to show all today's events, no matter how many there are, but only those (and none of tomorrow)?

I tried to set the "show next events" number to 8 and to set "look ahead time" to 1 (and even 0) days, but at every update there is an additional event from tomorrow.

(possible reason: "look ahead" might be calculated from "now" and not from "0:00 this morning")
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
that's correct. i'll see if i can change that
[Android Apps and Games] jna9000:
Any news on this!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
yes, next version will inlcude that change and will be available tonight ;)
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Hi!

I installed the latest update and noticed that my calendar entries are all one day off now. In other words, an appointment of 17 October shows as "Oct 16" on the lockscreen. It shows correctly as the 17th in the Android calendar as well as in Outlook on the PC.

Any thoughts?

[ Added later ]

Reloading appointments and restarting the device made no difference.

I reinstalled an older version and the dates are now showing correctly. There is something about the latest version that shows the dates as one day earlier...
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
does it happen on allday events, normal events or both?
[Android Apps and Games] pljanuary:
Hi!

Nice app, very practical.

Would it be possible to add start time for the events? I'm using it to keep track of meetings, so I have several events on the same date.

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Good question! I reinstalled the current version and created a few more events.

The answer is: all day events only!
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
If you want the time of the events to be shown, just change the date format in the app's settings (to "HH:mm" for example)
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
thank you. i just uploaded version 1.1 to the market which hopefully contains a fix for the timezone problem with allday events. can you test it?
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Sorry, no change. I updated from the market and refreshed the data in the app. No change. Restarted the phone and no change.

All day events continue to show one day early (my daughter's birthday shows as 19 Oct instead of 20) and other appointments are correct.

I could not confirm the app version running. I don't think the app shows that info.
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
could you add HH:mm to your allday date format and post the times and your current timezone? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I am in New York. We are still on Daylight Savings Time (till 6 November), GMT-4. Adding the time to the all-day event shows 00:00 following the date.

More info on the NY time zone if you should need it is here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=179
[Android Apps and Games] j4velin:
okay, this version looks promising, it works at least if I change the timezone to NY on my device.

can you test it again? if it still doesnt show the correct date, could you send me the logcat output with the tag "LockscreenCalendar" (by using alogcat app or any other)? thank you very much
