[General Questions and Answers] Rolf NB:
I've tinkered with Android development a few months ago. I used the Android SDK v12 in Eclipse. Stuff worked then, on two separate machines. One Debian Squeeze/AMD64, one Ubuntu 10.04/i386. I did not reinstall/wipe/"repair"/mess up anything on these two PCs, promise.

I was offered an OTA firmware upgrade for my Xperia Neo (MT15i) a month or so ago. I accepted and got Android version 2.3.4 now (build number 4.0.1.A.0.283).

Now when I plug it in, the phone immediately pops up the "USB Debugging connected" notification, as it should be. Because that's certainly enabled.

But I can't select the phone for running my in-development apps from within Eclipse anymore. The phone does show up in the device chooser, but it's all question marks and N/A and I can't select it as a target. Picture attached.

Console says

07:53:20 E/DDMS: insufficient permissions for device
com.android.ddmlib.AdbCommandRejectedException: insufficient permissions for device
at com.android.ddmlib.AdbHelper.setDevice(AdbHelper.java:736)

Things I've tried after discovering this problem include rebooting my phone a dozen times with different USB Debugging settings, rebooting it while plugged into the development machine, rebooting the development machine, toggling the option while plugged in, ending processes on the phone I thought might interfere (SE LiveWare helper, SE USB extensions ...), running 'android update adb', upgrading to the Android SDK r13, redownloading all the SDK platforms and platform tools and so on and so forth. Nothing changed. The DDMS keeps looking as pictured, and the error message stayed the same, too.

What to try next? I really don't want to have to root my phone. USB debugging is supposed to (and did) work on stock firmware. Even if I wanted to root, it does seem complicated and risky with this model/OS version.

PS: Yeah, I've tried to post this to Xperia Neo=>Android Development but the forum software wouldn't let me.
[General Questions and Answers] Rolf NB:
Solved it.

Had to do this:

cd andorid-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools
sudo ./adb kill-server
sudo ./adb start-server
sudo ./adb devices

DDMS and Eclipse deployment now work again, running either as normal user (no root privileges).

[General Questions and Answers] CriticalLag:
Hey guys,

I recently installed a lockscreen from an old format on my newly flashed MIUI ROM.

The issue is, I cannot unlock it anymore, seems to be stuck.

However, I do have a terminal session open via Webkey.

Any commands that I can parse to unlock the lockscreen via a terminal session?

Thank you in advance for your help :)
[General Questions and Answers] CriticalLag:
Ah, vol up + back did the trick.

Fixed :)
[General Questions and Answers] gcosens93:
Hi all, this is my first post. I tried searching and browsing for a similar post on the forums and on the web but couldn't find anything.

So here's the problem...

I would like to install the unofficial CyanogenMod 7 (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263292) on my Samsung Galaxy Ace (v2.3.4 DDKQ5) without having to use Clockwork Recovery in any way. I have used Odin to flash the 2.3.4 firmware to my device and I was wondering if I could use this (or a similar tool) to flash CM 7 without altering the recovery image?

Please can someone tell me whether this is at all possible and if so provide some help to get me started?

Thanks in advance guys!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Theoreticly possible yes, something you will be easily able to do?

Probably not.
[General Questions and Answers] gcosens93:
Ok, thanks for the info :) Any ideas as to where I could find out more?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaysway:
So I got the ruby today...just a little feedback.

I upgraded from the Glacier, and I was running the darkside 1.5 ROM with sense 3.5. And to be honest, I liked the Glacier better. The Amaze is just like an over grown Glacier and is a bit laggy. They changed the charge port, and at the bottom of the screen where the touch buttons are, it glows white on the screen, say like inside of settings where the backscreen is black. I'll Give more info with the more I use it. So far wish I would of kept the Glacier. Nice Camera and screen though, besides the 'white' issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
You really might have a defective unit then because in the week I've been using mine I haven't caught even a moment of lag. This is by far the quickest and snappiest phone I've ever used.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaysway:
Just giving my opinion. Doubt its defective.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
Well pretty much any brand new phone with a dual core 1.5 ghz processor should not be lagging at all. Definitely not more than something as outdated as the mt4g.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbyphoenix:
Exact same with mine. I'm so disappointed. I was looking so forward to this phone. I took the first one back thinking it was a fluke. Second one was the same. Even the display unit had it. The girl who was helping me thought I was crazy until I showed her by blocking the light with my hand. On any black screen when the buttons are lit, it bleeds up into the main screen. I went through three of them, and then gave up, and just got my money back. I want this phone, but I hope HTC fixes that first.
[HTC Amaze 4G] greengoldmello:
I have the lights at the bottom of the screen issue also. Looks pretty crappy sometimes
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbyphoenix:
Oh and all of them did have a bit lag too. Here I thought it was such an upgrade from all my current phones (Nexus One, Desire HD, Defy), but really I'm back on the Desire HD, and loving it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lokks:
Can someone post a picture or video of the white issue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Turboboxer:
I would also like to see this as I am in less than an hour headed to pick this thing up....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
I'm pretty suprised because mine is flawless. No screen issues, dust, lag or anything else like that and I'm coming from a sensation. This phone is everything I hoped it would be and I have no complaints. If anything I would expect kind to have more of the issues as it is a store demo model so probably one of the earliest manufactured.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 5of0:
A little late for you, TurboBoxer, but it does look like the light from the buttons at the bottom isn't well-blocked from the screen. I took some pictures with my Nexus S, but I can't post an actual link because I'm new. You can see the bleeding light at the bottom, though. Here's a link to the album:

http://plus.google.com/photos/105505315440794373505/albums/5662786129509465969
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbyphoenix:
Yep. That's it. I think HTC needs to fix this in manufacturing now, and do a recall for the ones out now. This is not something I will tolerate when I pay $600 off contract.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 5of0:
Agreed. It's pretty noticeable, and while it doesn't bug me that much, it shouldn't be happening. My Nexus S has similar buttons/lighting at the bottom, with absolutely zero light bleed. It'd be nice if I could exchange this guy for one that doesn't bleed.

Edit: Added comparison shots of my Nexus S to the album (not) linked above.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seanp666:
You'll pay 600 dollars for a phone off contract? Are you on pills? I paid just over that for my computer. I thought they made phones off contract that expensive so people don't try to buy them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kirdroid:
Not necessary everyone buys phone on contract, majority in US buys I know... some people have money to buy off contract prices, some like trying new phones so they sell their existing phone, add some money and buy the new one off contract. Also there are lots of countries where phones are not sold subsidized.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Enzopreme:
i completely agree, i thought it would be hard to notice any improvement from the sensation, but, i must say, its like night and day, and we havent even ROM'd it out and tweaked the kernel yet... this phone is gonna be amazing... well, MORE amazing... lmao
[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
I've done that a lot. Buy latest phone with upgrade (~200)....6 months later, sell on ebay for 375-400. Get newest phone off contract and pay difference (~200)...as long as you stay on top of the latest and greatest its not hard to essentially get each phone at upgrade pricing when you factor in the sale of the previous phone.

I went from 9800 bold > HD2 > aria> captivate > streak 5 > atrix > amaze and have never paid more than 100 out of pocket for the next phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] ben200451:
When do you have to sell it buy before the resale value goes down?
[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
at least for me, i always have tried to sell it just as the newest one i want comes out. Its typically within 6-8 months of the release of the original device. Sometimes i'll just peruse ebay and see the prices, and then when i notice they start to go down i'll see what phones are out at that time so i get out of my current device before taking too great of a hit.

for example, the girl and I just sold her droid 2 for 200 bucks and my atrix for 280 on craigslist in one day, and since our contracts were up we went to tmobile and got these for little out of pocket since it was a new contract
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaysway:
I paid for mine cash, and to be honest....worst investment ever. Im not happy with the battery life, the screen issue, speaker is mediocre, my old hd2 was alot better than this phone. Its not about outdated, its about a good sturdy practical device.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaysway:
Why in the **** would you go from an HD2 to an Aria??????????? ??

Sorry lol that caught my eye. Like going from a Range Rover, to a Pinto.
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnk1973:
Wow, that's a lot worse than I thought it was going to be. :eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] jaysway:
Its pretty much half the screen if you can get it at the right time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lokks:
Thanks for the pictures wow I thought it would be subtle, hmmm this just does not help at all in making a decision between this and the SGS2X. I am going over to the SGS2X forum and see what issues they are having.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PoisonWolf:
Fair share of weird vertical lines.

Just wait a week or two. At least see what the Nexus Prime will be. =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lokks:
Yeah just read about that and saw some pics. I agree to wait to see what the prime has to offer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bakron1:
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 yesterday and took it back this morning and got the HTC Amaze and so far I am much happier with the HTC unit.

The Samsung unit felt like a piece of tin in my hand and is way to big for my everyday use. The resolution on the HTC unit is also much better then the S2.

I have not seen any the the screen issues everyone is complaining about, my screen is perfect.

Sorry Samsung, if I am going to spent 550 dollars of my hard earned money, I want something with decent build quality.
[HTC Amaze 4G] macheteZen:
+1 That's exactly what brought me here too. :D Welcome, and congrats on your purchase.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 5of0:
Yep, that pretty much sums up why I'm still quite glad I went with the Amaze: it feels more solid (psychological or not, that's what I want :P), the screen is a better size, and better resolution. That, and the SGSII is just ugly imo. HTC knows how to make a nice-looking phone.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DalSegno:
Hi guys,

At some point in the past two months or so, Navigation has started to fail me.

Basically now, if I'm in Maps and search for an address, for example, "123 Fake Street", it will show up correctly in Maps, but when I go for driving directions, it changes to show up as "Fake Street". Even if I re-enter the entire address in Navigation's search, it resolves to just the street name, and the destination is set as the street name.

This causes two problems.

1) It can send you north on a street you want to go south on, for example. I think it just picks the middle of the length of the street.

2) When turning on to a street, the screen shows the destination text. Since it's not navigating to an actual address, it's not showing me the house number. I'm often delivering things to people, and it's a pain to have to pull over and re-read my email for the house number.

Any idea how to regain full functionality? I'm in Canada, if this happens to be region-specific.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
You could try reinstalling Google Maps.

Have you been using this current version for more than 2 months without updating? Did it work properly prior to 2 months ago?
[Xperia Play General] droiddrums:
Is anyone familiar with Milestone Overclock? Its an app used to fool the last slot of most Ti-Omap kernels.

I used it on my droid 2 global to o/c to 1385mhz.

I wonder if its possible to create a similar app to do that same things to Xperia play? You didnt need a custom kernel all you had to do was set your last slot o/c speed and your voltage of choice and click apply. The app worked great.

Any ideas on how we can create this for our xperia plays?

Heres a link to the Milestone Overclock site for more info on how it works...

[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
I've been working on an app called AppExtractor. It's meant to be a companion app to ROM Manager in that it allows you to restore individual apps, data, SMS / MMS messages, Contacts / Call Logs, and Wifi Settings from your ROM Manager backups.

AppExtractor is compatible with backups created by ClockworkMod Recovery 5 as well as previous versions of CWM Recovery.

If you are interested, you can find it on the Market here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor

For those who cannot install from the Market, I have included the APK in this post.

Please let me know what you think!

Hi,

what does mean?

[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
The backup file format recently changed. Previously, the backup files were ".img" extension (YAFFS) and with the newer versions of CWM Recovery, backups are saved as ".ext3.tar" extension.
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
I really hope this was what I've been looking for so long!

Does your original post mean that some kind of output from your app can be used to flash back programs and their settings from the CWM?

If yes, I'd like to make a request.

More often than not, the apks are updated, but the settings are generally the same. Is it possible to give an option to just restore the settings of the selected apps only without restoring the apps? I saw that this is possible through your program ... want to know if its possible through the CWM.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Ok, so I got it from the market and now I understand a bit more. The idea is great. However, although it appears to be free, it is not. The user has to pay for SMS/MMS. The user is limited to restoring just 5 apps.

Fine, so, its limited! Maybe you should rename it as "lite" as otherwise it could be misleading.
[Android Apps and Games] Stilleh:
Wanted to try this, mainly for sms/mms retrieval from old backups (went from sense rom to miui and sms/mms weren't carried over...

I can't seem to buy it from market either. Says an error occured?
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Thanks for the suggestion! I may consider renaming it so there is a lite / pro version. My intention isn't to make it confusing for anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Are you still having issues downloading from the Market? It's definitely up there and supports all 1.6+ devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Stilleh:
Yupp´, same error. An error occured. Please try again.

Using market 3.2.0 and have tried wiping market data and cache :(
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Hi Jones,

Would it be possible for you to include an option to for eg. extract from the rom image the settings or the apk or both (as chosen by the user) and recompile it into a new image (only the setting or only apk or both)?
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Hmm...I'll have to look into that! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] acidbuzz3:
Sounds like a great app but is showing as not compatible with MyTouch 4G slide and LG G2X
[Android Apps and Games] PMGRANDS:
Is this pretty easy to use?
[Android Apps and Games] AKZam:
Nice one, was looking for something like this to get my messages back after TB went 'funny' on me.

[Android Apps and Games] Denkov:
Use SMSBackup free from Market!
[Android Apps and Games] FIT-Performance:
Just downloaded it and will try it out soon. I would greatly appreciate it if you would put what the limitations are in the free version and/or what is unlocked with the key in your description.
[Android Apps and Games] Djay1809:
Great work I've been looking for something like this.
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
Awesome!

I have been looking/waiting for app like this so that I can flash apps straight from CWM after flashing rom instead of having to install Titanium backup and the restore apps from within Android.

Much appreciated. Will give feedback once tested.
[Android Apps and Games] ArmedandDangerous:
I'm hoping this works on 4EXT as well? AFAIK that's also based on CWM and support both yaffs and tar backups~
[Android Apps and Games] TheATHEiST:
Thats a good point, does this work on sd-ext?
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Panzer:
I always wanted something like this! This will make it sooo easy to switch ROMs. Thank you! :D
[Android Apps and Games] edfx00:
Phone Selection on ROM Mgr.

ROM MGR has worked great. Now I have a seemingly simple question that I cant figure out. I have the premium version.

It asked me which phone I have ( Samsung NOTE) but I mistakenly hit another phone and now it lists all ROMS available for that phone. How can I change it back?

I would be most grateful for an answer.
[Android Apps and Games] Zanza00:
Same here, but for me i think it's the new CWM 6 backup process.
[Android Apps and Games] yahoowizard:
I have the same Unable to generate APK listing issue, but I have CWM 5, too, so not sure what's wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] CtK4949:
Hmm im getting the same error. My nandroid backup from last week i can get in2 to restore apps, but NOT my nandroid backup from today.

I get this "Caution: CM7 and MIUI users - this will cause issues if you are trying to restore messages from non CM7 / MIUI backups. CM7 and MIUI use a different database format." when i try to restore SMS/MMS.

Please help!!

thanks!!

[Android Apps and Games] hooha23:
Sweet. App part worked to restore my fuellog records. Had to change settings to point to sdcard1 instead of sdcard0 for both locations.

MMS restore worked too. lost my NEW texts though, haha. didnt think about that when i restored..figured it would merge for some reason.

thanks for the great app!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Glad you like it! I should probably update the description on the SMS / MMS restore to clarify how it works.
[Android Apps and Games] jakit:
thank you for this is very useful
[Android Apps and Games] Jay794:
I like the app, but I can't find any of the apps I'm extracting in order to reinstall the apk, where does it save the restored apks?
[Android Apps and Games] whoranzone:
I just stumbled upon the Appextractor 2 beta, which supposedly is the only app thay can work with and restore CMW 6 Nandroid backups. Unfortunately after selecting my backup I still see no apps for restore in the list. Is this an issue of the beta? Apart from that, I was also not able to find a newer version of Appextractor. Will there be an update of this app out anytime soon?
[Android Apps and Games] hiru555:
Mee to same problem... Hmm.

Twrp nandroid

Does this app work with nandroid b/up created using TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] doumer:
will this also restore the market link, when i restore an app from an nandroid-backup? if yes, i really gonna buy this.
[Android Apps and Games] [Jules]:
I can't get this app to restore anything at all.

Have created a nandroid backup with CWM5. Did a complete wipe, then installed CM7.1.0.

The 'restore sms/mms' function says it has restored the messages after about one second of work (seems rather fast), but not a single message is restored.

The 'restore apps/data' function searches the backup images for about two seconds, and then simply stops. No error message, no crash, no restore.

Only thing logcat shows is: D/su ( 1190): 10063 com.handyandy.appextractor executing 0 /system/bin/sh using shell /system/bin/sh : sh

The smsmmsrestore.log reads: 1

The datarestorecomplete.log reads: 111

The busybox.log reads: 1

The imgdump directory is empty

Also tried to restore sms/mms from a CWM3 backup, but again not a single message was restored.
[Android Apps and Games] HAKA:
not working....nexus s

cm 7.1
[Android Apps and Games] beartiger:
Great idea Andy, but a slight issue. I select Restore Apps / Data, am prompted to choose one of my CWM Recovery backups (5.0.2.0) and then the app scans the backup, but then it stops and I never get the list of apps to choose any to restore.

Not sure what logs you may want to diagnose but let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
[Android Apps and Games] awjones:
Does this happen for all of your backups or just this particular one?
[Android Apps and Games] dirtsky:
Thank you Sir! Been looking for an alternative to Titanium Backup
[Android Apps and Games] beartiger:
At this point in time I have just the one backup (I tend not to keep old ones)
[Android Apps and Games] [Jules]:
The logfiles in /sdcard/appextractor/ only contain one or more '1' characters.

Not sure if it is supposed to contain just that, but it appears not very helpful in determining what's going wrong.

Neither apps restore nor sms restore works. There's no list of apps to restore for either a CWM3 backup or a CWM5 backup.

The sms restore gives the impression that it's working, but it doesn't restore any message.

There's nothing useful in logcat and nothing useful in the logfiles on the sdcard.

Is there a way to get a more verbose log?
[Android Apps and Games] mobidzid:
Seems to be working for me, thought I haven't restored anything actually. But both my backups are visible and the app give the list of application all right.
[Android Apps and Games] beartiger:
Must just be something about my backup then. I'll try another later and test a restore of something from within that.
[Android Apps and Games] lannatwin:
If I restore both the app and data, it works. If I try to restore just data, it is not restored.
