Thanks for the compliment ;)..

Next thing I am going to do is to add Bing Local Search and Yelp to the search providers. I'll also release the paid version of Next2Me (79Cent) which will be without the ad but will get a lot of more features in the future.

Thanks for the hint with App Connect! I'll definitly have a look on that!

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Thanks for your reply and thanks for your review ;)! I am glad to hear people like my app ;)!

Just one thing: Next2Me was initially developed for the WP 7.0 SDK which didn't allow to add more info to a new contact than the phone number. But I already integrated the new SDK, so the next release will save much more data than now ;) (name, address, etc..). But: the location cannot be added to the contact book, unfortunatelly.

If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to write me ;)!

How about an Option ?

Hey Thanks for getting this here.

is it possible that you can give an option indirectly so one can select and add ?

I am not a developer so I cannot say much. But if you can just give a copy option so I can paste it to the contact Location detail, it should do the job.

Ashish
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
I am going to use the notes field of a contact to save the position data. I know that a contact can have position information, but there is no way set this info using the API, so I will have to use the notes field.

Another thing: Yesterday I implemented the Bing Local Search as a new search provider, so the next release of Next2Me will include it ;). I already sent it to the certification process, and also Next2Me+, which will be the paid Next2Me. Next2Me+ will be ad free and will get more features and some exclusive features. The common Next2Me will stay for free of course.

Hello, I wanna share on this forum about How to unpack, repack, split, mkboot boot.img

First, u need a file names Bootimgutils that u can download here.

After u done, u extract the file into a directory that u wanna and give it name (Like, Bootimgutils for the example)

.

Then, U grab boot.img file (U can grab it directly on onepack ROM. U can find boot.img on Code, if u use fullpack ROM)

*Don't forget to check the file permissions as executeable programs. Right-click, properties. Click on permissions tab

Go to terminal (Linux) or Cygwin (Windows)

Type these commands :

cd Bootimgutils
./split_bootimg.pl boot.img
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
cd ..

O.K. Up to ya to edit boot.img.

And, don't forget!

If u have done to change files.

U need to repack it anymore.

For that, u can type :

./repack_bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel ramdisk bootnew.img

or u can replace it.

U just need to change a command to be like this :

./repack_bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel ramdisk boot.img

*If u have backup of an original boot.img

Can someone make this to extract CyanogenMOD's boot.img or suggest something for this ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Delanoister:
boot.img of CM? Sure these commands can be used by everyone for every boot.img :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NeoJeo:
Hello, and thanks for that tutorial, I was wondering for a long time how to extract a boot.img file :)

But I just have a question: how is it possible to extract another sort of .img file ? Actually, the Alpha ICS firmware from Sony Ericsson includes a system.img file, and for curiosity I'd lile to extract it. Of course I tried the same method by changing "boot.img" by "system.img" in the commands and that didn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] guap:
help :(

I'm following these instruction but my boot.img wont boot, even if i don't touch it, just unpack/repack... doesn't work

split:

./split_bootimg.pl boot.img
Page size: 2048 (0x00000800)
Kernel size: 5046640 (0x004d0170)
Ramdisk size: 180818 (0x0002c252)

Writing boot.img-ramdisk.gz ... complete.

unpack ramdisk:

mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk/
gzip -dc ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
760 blocks

then repack, modifying base and cmdline according to my device in repack_bootimg.pl

--cmdline 'console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=hws7300u vmalloc=578M kgsl.ptcount=16' --base 0x40200000

./repack_bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel ramdisk boot.img
760 blocks

repacked boot image written at ramdisk-repack.img

flashed via fastboot, reboot... hang :|

any hint?

EDIT: nevermind... seems that /proc/config.gz is not the right place to find the base address, my base address is 0x40300000 :|
[HTC Wildfire S] slina:
my gf is having this problem on her phone, and i'm only finding solutions here for rooted phones and she can't root it because of the warranty. do you have some other solutions for her problem?
[HTC Wildfire S] CitizenLee:
She's just going to have to move as many apps as possible to the SD.

Go Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>On SD Card

Then tick everything available.
[HTC Wildfire S] slina:
she moved everything she could and she doesn't have that much apps, and still having same problem.. :(

is there any other solution?
[HTC Wildfire S] CitizenLee:
I don't think so, other than being selective over what she has installed.

My girlfriend was in the same boat until I rooted her phone and flashed a new ROM with a2sd support.

Photographs and music, Facebook friends synced to contacts, and web pages not cleared eat memory, clear caches as well.

[HTC Wildfire S] thehumble1:
Also, Gmail and Contacts chew up memory like 20mb each easily.

Another thing to remember is that you have to restart the phone for most of the savings to show up after changes. It does help to restart it about once per day to keep the caches clean, etc.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] azur3orion:
Hello XDA community!

I'm interested in rom porting / developing, but don't know where to begin, and how. I have some C, C++ and Java knowledge (cause I learned to be a software designer and developer), and got some free time, so I want to help in rom developments, if I can. (for example to get Optimus Net rom woriking on our Optimus One)

Could someone give an advice, where to begin to learn these things?

Thank you for every help! And keep up the good work, developers! :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
Just some suggested ports

-oxygen

-AOSP

-sense

-miui
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
do you want to develop or customize? these are different things.

for porting a binary compiled rom, you need most knowledge in decompiling code.

for porting real source code, you need most knowledge of C/C++ and JAVA and hardware.

for the first steps, use a ready and running rom and theme it something.

if you want to do really more and have dreams what to do - start developing on

source code - use direct source code from AOSP, CM7 or CodeAurora. Here you need to read

about how the compile process is working, if you have a working and booting rom you can modify

all the software you have or write new ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aspee:
Take a base ROM from another phone. First thing, delete the boot.img. That boot.img contains the kernel, which will not do good to your phone. Next, add the boot.img from your phone to this rom (use commom sense, if you are porting a vanilla rom, use an AOSP kernel, if porting sense, use HTC kernels, if you are porting other UI’s like blur, use an AOSP kernel.) Next, go into the /system folder. In here, we want to first delete the usr folder. The usr folder has hard button and keypad drivers. Replace the usr folder with the one from your phone. Next, go into the etc folder. delete the vold.fstab andapns-conf.xml and replace with the one from your phone. Next, we want to go into the lib folder. Here, we will want to replace the lights.(device name here) (and the sensors.name if it is an AOSP port) and replace with files from your phone

Thanks for your future answers and sorry for my bad english.
[Windows 8 General] Emi_Cyberschreiber:
yeah you deleted the partition with the BCD which is what has your boot stuff.

BUT you can put your DVD if windows 7 or 8... and then you can use the Repair computer option, like they are telling you in the boot pic you got.

here is an example how to fix it, im ot sure if it will detect both win8 and win7 or only win7. but i think it should detect your windows.

[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Hello,

I just came home from shopping, while I was there I had no connection. That is very weird.

Historie:

I have flashed a couple rom's, then restored back to stock

Never flashed an non-stock kernel

Never flashed an non-stock radio

What should I do :(?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Is it like an underground mall?

In some large stores,when I am not near an outside wall,I get no reception...

Sometimes the signal just does not get through.

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Hi,

Yes. I thought it was only me, I gues the only way to prevent this is to flash a new radio :)?

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What radio do you have.

Check in :Settings>About phone>software information>more>Baseband version =

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Hi,

10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M

:)
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
It'll happen, just depends where you are. I work in a grocery store and if I'm standing in isle 10 I have a strong 4g connection. if I'm in isle 8 I drop down to edge.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You are on 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M

The next one up will be 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

Which you can download HERE

Unzip to your desktop,and READ the read me,carefully.

Follow the instructions to the letter.

There is no guarantee,that it will improve your signal.

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
That is also what I thought, but in a shopping center, there must be some sort of connecting, just one dot.

Do you need to have custom recovery? And can you restore back if so :)?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Did you s-off using revolutionary?

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I got stock recovery but I am S-off

:)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

So how do you flash a ROM?

Do you go into recovery and choose zip to install from sd card?

Flashing a radio does not involve recovery.

It's done from your desktop ,using adb.

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I am flashed back to stock recovery, as I didn't see any changes in the rom, beside graphics changes :/

I see, my very last question :P

Can you restore if somethign goes badly wrong :D?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

When you do a nandroid backup in recovery,it does not copy the radio.

So, you cannot restore a radio in recovery.

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
So if I flash a new radio, I won't be able to restore the stock radio? :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes, you can flash a stock radio,but you cannot do this in recovery.

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
GOOD :D Thank you very much again, for you're help :)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Just to clarify, you cannot flash anything from stock recovery, but you can flash flashable zips, including radio from custom recovery.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
So that means I need to get custom recovery, then flash radio :)?

Also it says my phone has to be ENG off and radio off. What is that? In my hboot screen it says it is off, at the top is that enough or :P?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You just need s-off to flash radio.

S-off is also radio-off.

Eng-off is optional.

:)
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Ohh OK :)

Thank you both for you're help :) I will go flash a radio now :P

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Hi

I have followed the guides in getting my arc rooted by using .184 then .181 used gingerbreak to root.

However I cant seem to get the ota update to work.

whether I connect wi-fi or use mobile network I get a message saying could not connect to network.

I am in uk on 3 arc is sim unlocked but bootloader is locked

so I am stuck with 2.3.2 with .181 which is rooted.

sepc and seus both say update .283 is available

any way I can force the update without losing root.

really sorry if not in correct section I did raise this question in another thread but realised it may have been added in wrongly.

sorry to any mods for causing more work
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:

thanks have managed to get it to pick up update.......

but how long should it take to update?

the phone took about 5mins to download then booted up once that was about 10-15 mins ago.

i did try to start phone but no good.

there is no led showing.

so i know it is not bricked. dont want to pull battery out or anything else incase it wont boot into flash etc.

time is now 10.10pm phone has been updating close to 45 mins still not booted up 2nd time nor can i switch it on...

any help or idea's
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Never mind after leaving for 1.5 hrs and still nothing I flashed with flashtools log said all ok. Still not start up plugged into charger and now I get a flashing green led....think it is bricked.....se will get another return to deal with.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torres77an:
I thought bricking your phone

Could only be done with an unlocked bootloader :-S ****y man hope this is not the case
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
I assume the bootloader was locked after sim unlock.

as I always got sepc and seus saying update available....

i thought if they detect phone and update available.

bootloader was locked......maybe it wasn't......

anyhow I am getting a swap out on Monday as I am business customer thank you t-mobile.

I was able to assign Yahoo Mail as my default e mail last night. So now when I hit the "Mail" icon - my Yahoo e mail account pops up. Nice.

One problem though - when I went to send my first e mail - none of my contacts are showing up?? Usually (on my PC) a pop up window opens that lists all my contacts. I check who I want to send the email to and I'm good to go. Not in this case...

- One other issue - when I delete e mail from my Galaxy, they don't delete from my e mail account on my (PC).

Any suggestions??

I use the Yahoo e mail app on my Droid which works great. However, because it's not optimized for a tablet, when I use it on my Galaxy, the font is so small I can barely see it. I mean it's borderline microscopic.

Wish yahoo would make a tablet oriented e mail app...

I know. I just can't help thinking how many different places that I have to change my e mail address!!!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tivo7:
You can link your yahoo mail to your newly created Gmail.

I never did it because I started Gmail as soon as it came out in closed beta, but I'm gonna guess that means your yahoo emails will come to your Gmail account.

You can do this after signing into gmail and going to account settings, look under "Connected Accounts".

The only reason I'm holding off on SGSII is waiting to see if Galaxy Nexus will come to AT&T. Since most displays are going HD now, I would prefer to have that over the 800x480 the SGSII sports.

That, and it has ICS. Now.
