[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
This is NOT true - If you're Dell Streak 7 has froyo 2.2.2 stock - it should recognize it automatically - just curious what version windows you're using...:cool:
[Dell Streak 7] UrbanAlkemist:
Thanks! I am using win xp sp3. I really hope there is a fix because this is very frustrating. I did however get gingerbreak on the ds7 by dl'ing from the device while it was plugged in to my computer. Although i'm not sure if it is on the sd card or the device itself. It does show up on my device though. But I still need to hook up to computer for music xfer etc.
[Dell Streak 7] Donmotobike:
try dell's sync-up

No problem - for media transfer between your pc and your dell streak 7 - have you tried using Dell's SyncUP? You will need to download from this website to your pc and there should be an app SyncUP on your stock dell streak 7...

http://dellsyncup.nero.com/enu/start/
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Have you tried the driver from Dell's link that I gave you? Yes, the computer should automatically recognize a device, but through my experience, nothing is perfect. That's why Dell posted the driver for people to download in case the computer did not recognize the Streak. In fact, here is Dell's description of this driver:

Set of USB drivers needed so Windows XP or Windows 7 can correctly identify the Streak & device when it is connected to a PC
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
/agree

My streak when stock did not recognize properly either with win 7 x64. Even the drivers in the folder for win7 and vista 64 wouldn't work. I think I wound up using the xp 64 drivers using compatibility mode.

Hope this helps!!
[Dell Streak 7] UrbanAlkemist:
:confused:Man this is really getting me down. So I downloaded the file that you recommended from the link that you provided. After messing around for over an hour with the "dell download manager application," and about pulling my hair out over that worthless application:mad:. I finally just downloaded the file with my own browser (firefox 4.0). But it is a RAR file and does not give me the option to unzip it. I can pretty much download it to anyplace on my computer that I want but I downloaded it to the default which is my desktop. Then after running the device manager to install the ds7, my computer will not find the RAR file that I downloaded to the desktop. I have the option, as I said earlier, to download it into the existing dell drivers file that is on my computer but I actually have to put it in a file. There are several driver files listed there all starting with R and about 6 numbers after it, but I don't know which to put it in or if that is even what I should do. Suggestions?:(
[Dell Streak 7] ponyman:
After you have down'd the drivers from otmos's link on Sunday. Unzip the 16mb file to a suitable directory. Now when you install the drivers point the location to the Drivers folder in the directory that you unzipped ADB-Drivers.zip into and allow it to search for the correct file itself from there. Don't try to point to the individual sub directories.

Dell's SyncUP on it's own does not install the drivers.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Seriously? You have to go through hoops to get USB Mass Storage to work with the Dell Streak and Windows?

I just plug it in and tap the "Connect to computer" or whatever the screen is for starting mass storage. I rarely use it, but I did a few days ago to dump a few gigs of music over. Just worked in Linux..
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
..... he is referring to the adb drivers if im not mistaken ... that's for adb / fastboot :) This has nothing to do with mass storage mode.....
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
rar files are a type of compressed file, similar to zip, you need to use a program like WinRAR to extract them. Windows will not recognize the drivers that are compressed in the rar file. Once you uncompressed them into a folder on your desktop, do the device manager to install the ds7 like before, and direct it to find the drivers in that uncompressed folder.
[Dell Streak 7] khaytsus:
Perhaps he's just over complicating it then if he can't get adb to work, just get it on the SD card and install it.
[Dell Streak 7] UrbanAlkemist:
Thanks so much everyone, finally got it working. Had to install drivers for Nero mobile sync and the Nero mobile sync application to my computer. Now recognizes and has a gui for moving and transferring files back and forth.

Tried to thank everyone but only allowed 5 a day.

Thanks again.

So, I had root explorer running just fine a little bit ago,now every time I try to load the app,it just sits at a blank screen for over a minute and it force closes. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried rebooting several times.. anyone else have this problem? I'm running the most recent build of Trigger
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apDroid:
Are you having sudden problems with any other apps? When in doubt, you can always just reflash the ROM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
I would try clearing the data/cache using titanium back up. Then un-install and re-install.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Doesn't sound like a lemon. The stock software is buggy. If you're gonna root it and flash another rom then you're gonna love this phone.

The GPS indicator is normal. It only shows when an app is using GPS for your location. Otherwise it doesn't show.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Man of La Mancha:
It doesn't sound like a lemon to me either. I bought mine in April and my phone had a few reboots while charging overnight and two freezes in the first month. It has been OK since then, although I did not do anything about it (and I'm still on Froyo). The only thing I do is that I reboot my phone manually once in 7-10 days because the phone starts to lag. I believe this is normal for all smartphones including iPhone...or am I wrong?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] HTXg2x:
Oh, forgot to mention when I hit the power button to wake the phone and go to the lock screen, I briefly see the last screen I was in before the phone went into sleep mode. Total lack of QA in my opinion... Will a rom fix this?

And yes Man of La Mancha, the iphone would get somewhat glitchy, but a reboot always took care of it. I didn't really have to reboot it too often, maybe once every 2 weeks or so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
The lockscreen issue is a known bug. CM7, or any ROM with 2.3.4+ doesn't have that problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
I'm looking to root my brothers inspire. I rooted mine back in march and am very familiar with that method. However, I remember quire a bit of stuff coming out back at the end of April talking about super easy alternate methods that now work. However, I no longer see anything about this in the dev forums - everything seems still related to the methods I used.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
There is a thread about it in the dev section. It's pretty far down but its there.

I was reading [HOW-TO] Install CM7 ROM on 2.3.3 ROMs (based on SE 2.3.3 FW) {PICTURE GUIDE} CWM great guide from DoomLord and I was wondering if I could use at the same time DooMKernel - "Power to The People"

It is complaining about the scripts being amend instead of edify and amend being deprecated and dropped in CWM 3.x (the guide being for CWM 4.0).

So I'm basically just moving to CM7 from Stock 2.3.3, the guided post for the upgrade was followed and it got rid of recovery 0.3 (at least back key isn't pulling it up and I know it still works with amend scripting) and instead using CWM (I believe that's what it's called, new thing that appears pressing volume down on the FreeXperia boot logo).

I would really like be to use the undervolting functionality from the doomkernel and get better battery life... I wonder if there's any adviced path or if I should try flashtool to get xrecovery again and perhaps try another installation steps to avoid CWM, or I don't know, any hints/advices are welcome even if it is upgrading amend scripts to edify.

(I should have posted this in dev maybe but I need like 10 posts to get the grant and this is my first post ever, also sorry if I break some rules and/or it's all plain nonsense)

Hey, I love what Tiamats has accomplished and what its become. Currently running Hammerhead. Does anyone run into issues connecting to things like Open Feint, or in game services like the community in Paradise Island? It's the only thing that seems to give me problems, and I don't understand what would be causing the conflict. Thx.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
It's not Tiamat. It's been reported once before... Open Feint seems to not work on the Xoom. Not sure if its the same on the other Honeycomb tablets, but I am going to say yes. Seems it has issues with HC for some reason. I've experienced this since the Xoom launched before we had root, and Tiamat. So... clearly it's not fixed yet...

Did not even think to check out that feature till now. Yeah, same problem.

The volume key does do zoom for both devices when you're in regular camera mode.

[Motorola Droid 3] Jewremy:
Hey guys. Anybody find a sturdy Holster for the D3? I had

this one

for my OG Droid and Droid 2. 'course, Moto changed it up in a major way this time. Seidio's going to take forever to come out with cases. Anybody find anything similar out there?
[Motorola Droid 3] telemarketme:
A friend of mine bought one from Verizon, it seemed very sturdy. It also had a cool vertical/horizontal kick stand. Its called Shell/Holster Combo. Just go to Verizon's website and search "Shell/Holster Combo Droid 3", since I can't link ya here.
[Motorola Droid 3] dz1mm3rm4n:
I bought this same one. It is also compatible with the dock, which was not the case for my OG Droid. The stand comes in handy at work, where I don't have a dock too. :)

Took a look at it, adds too much bulk imo. I like my phones naked.

This is what you want. I got mine Saturday and it is very similar to what I had for the Droid 1.

http://www2.letstalk.com/accessories/productdetail.htm?prId=39339
[Motorola Droid 3] dz1mm3rm4n:
Agreed. When I first got the phone, I was not happy with the bulk. Adding a case to it seemed like a terrible idea. I have gotten used to it tho, I don't mind it as much.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
I had the shell/holster combo and didn't care for the extra bulk it added to the phone. I was getting used to it but showing the phone to a few Droid/Droid 2 owners they thought it was HUGE and heavy in comparison....and I think the shell contributed to a lot of that.

I also didn't care for the slide in/out of the holster as I was used to use the "holster only" type case on my OG Droid. When I got the new "holster only" clip and removed the shell from my Droid 3......I was extremely pleased with the now thinner, lighter Droid 3 I was using :) I was surprised at how much the shell added extra overall to the Droid 3.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Hi All,

I have been checking a lot of ROM's recently i have find 2-3 settings in all ROM's which might sound a good choice for dev's however i am not sure whether they should be the same for user or not.

Some of the samples include

chmod 0777 /system

and all internal places.

this effectively allows us to do a adb push easily and without any hassels however per my study this allow just about anyone to mingle with any file whatsoever on my system.

Note : Having root of my own device to tinker with it is one thing. and handing over my device all permissions to someone else is another thing.

also another setting which bothers me is

ro.secure=0

which effectively allows adb to open shell in root mode directly.

can any dev help me in understand is this necessary for normal users.

also the reason why this thread is here is coz this needs discussion as this could very well turn out to be a security issues, as android platform is starting to get the limelight so will be getting eyes of both good and bad too....

also would love if someone can help me in compiling tips for normal users what they need to do and not do.

example

USB debugging should only be enabled when it is needed and not everytime.

Mod's I hope i am not voilating any rules by posting this here.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
My point of view is cleary no and the obvious reason for that is that most users dont really know what they're doing, just try (most of the times to reach performance) something that someone who knows what are doing to get this or that.

I think what needs to be done is something like linux system.

You may have root but to get some modifications at least should appear some kind of msg or password needed like super root (is this the name? Cant remember, but you know what im talking:) )

Edit:

I wonder with some behavior of some guys and with super root access that de had what could happen to the most of users around here if we have a real bootloader crack instead of bypass. Probably need to be rich to buy a new like avery week:)

Cheers old IBM'ER friend;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
Wait, rendeiro, I think you meant Super User. But SU=Root. SU is just a method to make things simpler and safer as logging in directly as root is very dangerous.

@OP -- by CHMOD-ing the system folder to 777, you're completely vulnerable. 777 basically allows everyone to access it.

I'm not sure about the ro.secure=0 setting, but the default value is 1 instead of 0, root exploits change the value to 0 -- which lowers the security, hence allows you to be root. I think this value is also available in the kernel, just like what D did with Arc's insecure kernel -- yes, it makes the kernel insecure to allow you to root your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
@Hzu

You're write about the name I just forgot it since I wont use linux for about four years (since I work where im on now) :D but I think you get my point;)

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
But you are still right though, people messing with the system without knowing what they are doing, and then blames the system for corrupting.

Seems like OP has did research, it should be OK for him to continue his research.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
thats what i also thought and that's why posted here to make everyone atleast think once.

ro.secure setting i understand is to allow adb to run as root or not... basically ro.secure 1 disallows pushing to /system... also it puts you to $ prompt and you need to manually su.

Another thing i notices is we see a lot of update.zip's floating around i am not puting a question mark on anyones ethics however i suppose there should be some mechanism to check what's inside the zip or what that zip will do user should be aware of the stuff that may happen... I will try to write something in this regard in case people agree.

basically i want user to know

1) what files will be tampered specially bin xbin etc folder stuff

2) shell scripts executed.

3) partition format or permission change specially something like 777 stuff should be indicated.

and ya i will keep checking all these, i don't have any plan on launching a ROM however will keep a close eye on what others are cooking.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Even though I tend to agree with the above posts, I have to say that there is also another side that we should all consider.

Each and every one of us, should try and be "educated" on Android. XDA forums can be a mess, but with patience and a little time every now and then, we can all learn more about what our phones do and how.

I've seen people eager to flash an update.zip with a tweak that they have ABSOLUTELY no idea what it does. Sometimes we just sit back and wait for everything to be done for us.

I am always actively interested in development and I learn new things every day.

Developers give us the tools, we need to learn how to use them. ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] shaunbu:
Is that not what the superuser app does?

I'm not a dev but I kno enough about linux to want rw to /system but I agree most users are stupid (well at least don't know what there doing). Apps that let you do damage to /system like root explorer allows you to easily mount it rw anyway. I can't see much extra danger having it always rw when you've already got root.

Agree ppl flashing roms should take a little time to learn about what they're doing but ppl are too lazy and want a quick fix. But if someone soft bricks their phone because they don't understand what their doing and don't read the instructions properly then its their fault and not the devs. But its not hard to connect to PC companion and repair and they've learnt a valuable lesson in the process.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Hzu:
No, the superuser app don't ask for password. Like in linux distros for the pc, you can set whether to have password or not, this can be done via visudo. Just google for visudo then you will understand.

Hi Anant;)

After i´ve read your white paper i got 2 conclusions:

1. you`re absolutely right and explain it as it should but…

2. If Devs consider all that why develop anything?

As principle i think you´re right but that fact is if any rom will be developed as “closed” almost anyone use it and no matter what make you develop you certain won´t develop for 1/2 guys/gals. For that we have stock ones:)

Now. I can agree with something like a big alert on every rom development section/thread about the potential risk by install an “open” rom but more than that it will kill all development in the end;)

Cheers pal
