Hi guys, I have google latitude set up on my daughters phone to track her whereabouts. I think she has caught on to me though and I believe she is using the settings reset option on the phone to stop me. Is there an app you can recommend that will prevent her from tampering with settings like these?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
There are several tracking apps that can be installed covertly and run in the background with no real evidence they are working once they've been installed.

Google "track your phone android" (without the quotes)

I know Mobile Defense is a good one, but there are many others.. or just check the Android Market.

You can also install apps that "lock" other apps (like Google Maps/Latitude) and require a password to get into.

Basically use Google and search, you'll find what you need.

Tried googling and found lots to use android as a bluetooth modem but not with one.

Basically I don't like smart phones so have a 'dumb' phone, it's a Sony Ericsson Elm, pretty feature packed for what it is and the price. Anyway, I also have a HP Touchpad running Cyanogen mod 7.1 Alpha 3, this doesn't have 3G so can't be used elsewhere, My phone can't do wifi tether so that leaves one option, Bluetooth!

My phone can be used as a bluetooth modem. I just don't know how I would get android to use this, could someone help, would be so so useful for me. Thanks.

I'm becoming extremely frustrated with Google Music. I realize it is early, but it seems to be slow, and the UI on my netbook on the actual website is straight up horrific. There are two things i wish to do as of right now, one being if i add a song to music.google.com and it syncs to my phone, i want it to automatically be able to go to "available offline" rather than going through and finding it. Second, i wish there was just a folder like the folder for itunes "automatically add to itunes", only for Google music. This would be of great convenience considering my Google Music syncs with Itunes correctly about half the time... Sorry for the long rant... :mad:

Edit: Kraken II cases have a design flaw to where part of it will not latch together. I have went through three in two different colors (blue and black) I would not suggest the Kraken II case but I am sure the others are probably fine. Hopefully they dont put up a fight on a refund now that I have got 3 defective cases in a row.

Does anyone with an x2 have a kraken2 case. I have a question about mine.

This is my second case...they replaced first one and on the back of the case, on the side where the kickstand pivots, there is a locking tab on the side of the case that locks both halves together. That locking point does not seem to lock together so the both halves are flush like the rest of the case. Did this on both cases but first one also didn't lock together on bottom too. Anyone insight from a kraken 2 owner about if theirs does or doesn't lock flush on that side would be appreciated

Thank you for the advice.

which ROM you are using to modify?

You mean run it in froyo.user.conf ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
Obviously needs market to be installed..

Yes or through an init.d script
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Vending.updater and vending are different process.

Now, I really don't know how.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
I'm not a noob,i know that vending != vending.updater..

It's simple to add init.d support,you can do it manually or by using Android kitchen(rename rootfs.ext3/img to boot.img)

tryed and working really good, but battery drain is still too high :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Well, try to use always a 2G data network (GPRS and Edge network is enough for whatsapp and gmail) and uninstall "Load Monitor". Disable Vending Updater and only sync gmail and whatsapp.

I did with this rom what I'm able. This rom is working with ext3 format without journaling, so it wastes less battery. At the same time, it is working with the lowest memory usage system because of Zeam Launcher and the framework I used.

So, it works smoothly and quickly as other ext3 roms.

I tried other ext3 roms just to compare the battery usage, and with this rom I save around a 30%.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
EXT3 without journaling == EXT2

and ss far as i remember it has to be enabled kernel side,or requires edits in the way cwm formats partitions.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Not exactly, it is an ext3 working as ext2. So, with this rom you can choose between your kernels or turbo, it is not necessary format the SD partitions.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...isable-journaling-on-ext3-266536/#post1355965

Makes no sense to use ext3 without journaling,because it becomes ext2 renamed,since the one of the few things updated from ext2 is journal.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
I know about this things, thank you anyway. I've prepared a rom bundle in which people can choose between have ext3 with your kernel or use ext3 working as ext2 with turbo.

Ext3 let you work as ext2 but ext2 doesn't work as ext3. So, I've chosen ext3.

I prefer use ext3 as ext2 because is good for the SD, because saves a bit of battery and because gives me the option to choose your kernels or Turbo one. This way avoid people to format the SD in ext2 forever and ever.

This way is more versatile. That's all.

New instructions for dualboot.

New instructions for dualboot.

01. Run Windows Mobile.

02. Install "Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab" in Windows Mobile (it’s inside the bundle). You have to install it to "\Storage Card", not "\Windows", take care of that.

03. After it's installed, you have to edit the Windows Mobile Registry using "Total Commander" file explorer (inside the bundle). The registry location is at [\\\Plugin\Registry\HKCU\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]. <--- This is located in the android mobile root but not in storage card root. (Note: If you don't manage with Total Commander, as well you can use "PHM Registry Editor" for editing the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]).

04. Inside DualBOOT folder find a registry named "AndroidBootFolder", click it and write “npkboot” without quotations marks. I've left a list describing what the keys are for:

---> "AndroidBootFolder"= npkboot <----- boot haret.exe from npkboot folder: \Storage Card\npkboot\haret.exe

---> "AutoBootAndroid"= 1 <----- 1 if you want to autoboot Android or 0 for autobooting Windows

---> "AutoBootEnabled"= 1 <----- 1 for enabling autoboot or 0 for disabling it

---> "FastBootEnabled"= 1 <----- 1 for enabling fastboot or 0 for disabling it

---> "StorageBootMode"= 1 <----- 1 always, take care of this setting

05. Reboot the mobile and changes will take effect.

battery life!!!

I tried this ROM and loved it but a had 2 problems

1. battery life is too short about one hour

2. I cant start wifi(i get error when i try to start wifi even when I start wifi in windows)

I tried several ROMs and this one is the fastest and every thing is working even bluetooth and keypad light

sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Well, in my case the battery works properly during 20 hours and the wifi is working too. I disable wifi and 3G and I use 2G because for whatsapp and gmail is enough. I only use wifi when I need it but after I always disable it for avoiding drain the battery.

Uninstall Load Monitor and any Task Killer and use Turbo Kernel. With Midnight Kernel sometimes the wifi doesn't work. Follow again the installation instructions. I'm sure that you have problems with the battery and with the wifi because of Midnight Kernel.

We only use Midnight kernel for install the rom in ext3 format, after we change "npkboot" folder for having Turbo Kernel.

We use a rom installed in ext3 format, but working without journaling when you use Turbo kernel for avoiding battery drain. Please follow the instruction carefully.

Congrats!!!

Well, after having great feelings with GoDroid, I've dared to use ZeamDroid and the results with battery and the rom performance are the best. Congrats.

I follow all yours instructions (great work, too), and I've realized that with ZeamDroid you almost get the same speed working than other ext3 roms, even when you disable journaling for using turbo kernel. Great idea, man.

Thank you so much.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Thanks you for trying these roms.

its work...

I did what you told me and its work for a day and half thanks man

but I notice a problem when connecting the mobile to computer and choosing file mode its work fine but the problem is when disconnect the mobile I can not see the MMC in the mobile and I cant mount it so I need to restart my mobile every time I use file mode
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
I can't solve what you propose because it's corresponded to a kernel module problem. For rebooting your mobile you can use the dualboot I explained in the first post, with it the mobile runs ZeamDroid automatically.

I'm glad to know that you can use your mobile for a day and half. With this rom you have a minimal battery usage if you use Turbo Kernel and my ext3 without journaling system.

Market issue

Hi, I just installed the this rom and found my feeling as follows;

Good

1. Battery indicates shows same as windows mobile

2. Wifi works good(Thether didn't made the test, I don't have a sim card)

3. Faster

Bad

1.Market works but unable to install the apps from Market.

(APK can install from SD card, market.andriod.com also NOT working)

Is anyone help me to install the apps through market?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Please follow the instructions of the topic first post. You must clear market data and disable market updater.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] revol5:
Hi, kuskro.

I did follow the instruction on the 1st post including "clear Market data under manage application" and disable updates.

I only failed "uninstall updates"

Can't find where "updates" located.

I think not to uninstall "updates" is the problem.

My market issue symptom is as follows;

1. Market search is possible

2. trying to download it

3. display shows that downloading it

4. download stopped without any msg and back to the past, I can see the "install" tab for downloading app.

I hope I can capture what I'm facing with.

I found this rom is awesome and has God-awful speed ever I had.

Will use this rom as long as I can.

so, plz help me to solve this market issue.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Thank you for pointing out the problem. You are right. Android Market Servers don't let updating the old market version (v2.12) I included in ZeamDroid. I'm going to update the Zeamdroid_Gapps.zip with the new market version. Be patient.

EDIT: I've updated the ZeamDroid_Gapps.zip with the last market version (v3.4.4).

I could not try this modifications by my own in my xperia x1 because I'm out. Please, post again if you continue having problems with market.

Let me mention that the reason I used the old version v2.1.2 was because the new versions used to give problems with the wifi if you tryed to download more than one app from the market each time. Take care of that.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
I already cleared the market data, but I still cannot download a single app.

My market gives me errors like insufficient space and download errors. I already tried reinstalling the market with my own 3.4.4 apk, but nothing works.

Any idea how to make any app download?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Not now, maybe I could solve it in two weeks because I'm finishing my thesis and I'm so busy. Sorry.

EDIT:

I've uploaded a new bundle for ZeamDroid_Gapps.zip. Now we have a different market version. Try to format the SD again, reinstall the ZeamDroid rom and install the new ZeamDroid_Gapps.zip

If it doesn't work, wait for the next ZeamDroid version base on GBX0B. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] revol5:
Hi, kuskro.

I have tried new GAPPS as you upload the first post.

As you said, wifi doesn't work

(When I tapped the turn wifi on, it says error)

I will do wait your updates.

Hope you good luck on your study. =)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
No worries. I will wait for your GB update. Good luck in your thesis.

Will go back to SenseDroidX for a few weeks, then change when I get bored. Is there any way that the battery % mod can be brought to SenseDroid?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Yes, it is easy but jerrytan93 doesn`t let me make this change on his rom, sorry.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ashwin1234:
Is there any way you can make the battery % mod into a CWM flashable zip file? I would love to have a battery % reporting in his ROM.

As for your ROM, I got 7 hours out of 20% of battery in standby. Will check to see if I can get battery by controlling the CPU speed. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Well, it's possible make an updater.zip for that, but long time ago I had a quarrel with jerrytan93 when I modifyed Sensedroid v7 to solve same problems on his rom. And now I don't want more problems with him.

To be honest with you, I think that developers don't include a battery % display because with midnight kernels the % goes crazy, this is a great kernel but doesn't work properly with the battery charge.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] LOC9493:
I installed Zeamdroid V5 successfully in one shot, but it's seem slow on my phone rather than V4 or Godroid, the animation seem to delay more than other ver. I'm keep on testing, Thanks for your awesome work.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
The rom works better than version v4. The first boot with V4 seemed to be quicker because you did it with midnight kernel in ext3 format, despite after you replaced midnight kernel for turbo kernel before the second reboot.

Now with V5 we always work with turbo kernel in ext2 format for better performance and stability.

After Froyo is charged, the OS speed is the same than others ext3 roms (Quadrant score is around 700).

Just wanted to check one thing. Does the music player play the songs without lag? The last EXT2 ROM I tried lagged when playing music. But the EXT3 never lagged.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
No lag at all (well, if you use heavily your mobile while you listen music maybe, but if this happen you can use a task killer like Advanced Task Killer [agressive setting] for releasing memory or killing all apps apart music when the screen is off).

Listen music from your ZeamDroid phone with the default music app, or from other computers via streamming using Audiogalaxy. My favourite music player app is PowerAmp but cost 3,5€.

Hi kuskro,

Switched from goDroid to zeamDroid, as you suggested.

Installation was straight forward.

Have been using it for a week, no problem, the look is nice.:)

Same remark as 'LOC9493', seems rather slightly slower than goDroid ...

Q : does the zeamDroid's kernel support loop devices ? (message 'no such device' when trying a 'losetup', or a 'mount -o loop ...')
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Hi friend, this rom is almost the same than GoDroid. The reason why it seems a bit slower it's because of ext2 and the turbo kernel. I came back to ext2 format because we save a bit of battery and the rom is more stable.

Turbo kernel doesn't included the ext2.ko and unionfs.ko to merge folders so you can't create a block area with img file from android console. But you can run img files in the boot.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
Rootfs is a loop device,so if it boots,it can mount loop devices..

pheraps change loop to loop1 or loop2
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
Thank you for your help.

System is getting slower

As I using the Zeam droid, it was fast from the boot but it's getting slower and slower. (3G and wifi on)

Even I did nothing after boot, came slower either.

But one thing is sure that battery life goes well.

Can't find any reason to get slower.

I have manage the running program by autotask killer app.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kuskro:
It's strange. Have you noticed a reboot when you change between 3g and 2g? Have you updated the Zeam Launcher?

Try another SD just to check or format the SD (with 4k cluster size). If you have used the SD with ext3 roms for long time, it's could damage the SD.

Normally I don't use 3G, but using 2G and wifi my xperia works quite well with ZeamDroid.

Try to uninstall Load Monitor and install Advanced Task Killer (use aggressive autokill setting).
