[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Permissions are explained here:

http://www.legend.ws/blog/tips-tricks/linux-file-permissions-explained/

Since Android is based on the Linux kernel, the same basic file permissions scenarios apply as those outlined above.

In simple terms, when permissions get messed up, you may lose the ability to access or edit files over which you normally should have control, or you may gain control over files which normally you shouldn't, which can cause random problems, like Force Close, etc. in Android.

Repairing the permissions is a housekeeping measure, to keep things neat and tidy. Sometimes, after a repair, you'll have to redo some settings, etc.

I can't download apps from the market while using the browser, it says the app will be downloaded shortly, but nothing happens, it also shows installed afterwards.

I have thor's latest rom, the market app recognizes the tablet as an Epad, and it does not let me download some apps, like skyrim live wallpaper from nvidia.

Can someone either post the link to the live wall, or give a way to fix this.
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
I noticed this with THOR's ROM. I usually end up just getting the apps from the market on the device itself. I'm not sure if there is a fix for it or not......

First you need your audio file that you want to use then use root explorer with read write turned on to copy the file to the /system/customize/resource folder then use root explorer to navigate to /system/customize/CID in this folder you will find a file called default.xml long press on this file the open it as a text file scroll to the bottom of the text list and you will see an entry for bootanimation and bootsound you can now either enter the name of your audio file or rename you audio file to match the name in the default.xml I have use the on the HTC HERO HTC EVO And the HTC EVO Shift and it has worked every time

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorry:
Hi everyone,

I'm sorry if this has been asked already but I couldn't find a similar thread on search.

I'm using franco's ICS kernel and the USB debugging in ON.

ADB recognize my device and I can 'Run As Android Application' but I get no Logcat at the DDMS tab.

All it shows is:

?:??: W/?(?): Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory

Kernel developer approved that logcat is disabled on his kernel and currently has no plans of changing this - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20005555&postcount=455

Also, enabling in insmod shows only partial logcat

http://xdaforums.com/report.php?p=20037182

Anyone has a solution?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorry:
Updated OP with new info.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonnieRuff:
Just a question... This is hybrid ICS / GB kernel that no one will care about any day now when the OTA drops and there is a proper ICS kernel. Why is a logcat so important for this kernel? Just wondering?

Where is my G Nexus?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorry:
Can't see how the fact that this is a hybrid kernel has anything to do with my question.

Logcat isn't important for this kernel, it's important to me because i use my phone to develop apps.

I want to use an ICS ROM but most of them use franco's kernel, which has logcat disabled by default, hence this thread.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonnieRuff:
Why would you develop apps based on an ICS ROM that has at most a 2-3 week shelf life and is flawed at best. If you just must why not use another kernel?

I am just asking because as soon as the OTA drops all of these ROMs and kernels will be obsolete

Where is my G Nexus?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carne_Asada_Fries:
Edit: Nevermind, please delete this post
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorry:
I'm adding support for HC/ICS so i have to use an ICS ROM.

Regardless, using an ICS for development doesn't mean i develop only for ICS.

I couldn't find any other kernel for ICS, if you know of one, that would be excellent, no special love for franco's one (even though it's a great one).

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferrnando:
Hi, is it possible to increase the size of the partition where the apps are located? in other devices like my iPad I can use the total amount of disk space for apps but in my Galaxy SII if I want to have lot of apps I have a small 2gb partition. Do you know a solution? I need more space for apps...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
Are you talking about the internal or external (SD card) disk?

I think the internal disk space is fixed to a custom partition, but if you're using App2SD or any similar script with a partition inside the SD card, you can repartition that partition to fix your needs without problem with any partition editor (like GParted).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferrnando:
I'm talking about the internal memory of the SII ... In other gadgets like Apple we have the entire disk space to install applications if we like.

Do you know a method to increase the space of the app partition? I think that is not a great solution to depend of an SD card, we have a lot of memory on the phone. I don't know why samsung have limited to 2GB the data partition, I think is too small...

Any idea about resize the partitions of internal memory?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
Don't know if its possible atm...

What do you have installed that you need +2Gb for apps? Have you considered moving some apps to SD?

/data partition has 2Gb

/sdcard has 8Gb

Both partitions are from the internal memory so moving any app from /data to /sdcard won't affect your speed, since both are internal memory...

PS: Despite the name, /sdcard is internal and /sdcard/external_sd is the external SD Card mounted on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferrnando:
Hi! AzureusPT thanks for your help... The problem is when I try to move to Sd card a message appears saying that I have to insert an SD Card... so I think that is not possible to move applications to /sdcard internal memory.

Do you know another method?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
sd card means micro sd card.. the /sdcard is the internal sd card w/c you can store data internally.. external sd card is your memory card.. the way android works is (or sgs2) has 3 partitions, 500+ for rom, 2gb for applications and tge rest for storage.. for games like gameloft which has huge amount of data, the installer itself is in thr 2gb partition while its data is stored in the 11gb + partition.. so no need to worry about running out of space :)

Hey Everyone,

We just released a big update for our awesome entertainment app Fireworks Touch.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.future.fireworkstouchfree

you can check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZzEALoC-Pc

if you like the app please dont forget to vote for it and give it a good rating...

also if you have any problems or suggestions please feel free to contact us.
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
Guys, do you think you would want an option to use this as a live wallpaper as well or will it cause too much distractions?
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
I think its best as a standalone app. Live wallpapers have been done before, but here is an opportunity to make a standout unique App.

Can I draw your attention to this IPod/Ipad app :

"I love fireworks ":

http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=GB#/watch?v=xTLGRohZR80

It uses touch to draw the rockets trail, and uses the length of a stationary touch to determine the intensity of the shell explosion.

You have made a good start, but I would love to see some of these features maybe, with some high quality firework audio samples.

Just a few things to inspire you!

Great start, and good luck :)

Regards

Edit: Reading back, I must look like a ungrateful demanding SOB! Apologies, just wanted to give a few ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
buzzboy: your not an SOB :) we want feedback we need feedback otherwise we wouldnt know what users want/think about the product...

have you downloaded the app? what do you think of the auto play feature? is there enough fireworks at once? what do you think about the fireworks "shapes" that come out randomly that looks like smily face, heart, star, peace sign etc.. do you want more stuff like this?

as for the your trail request we can do that we currently have trail feature the user just not controlling it atm...

More audio explosion is coming...
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Personally I prefer realism, but can't speak for the masses who may prefer cute shapes.

I'm a real pyromaniac.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
:) do you want an option to toggle on/off shapes?
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Its a possible solution, it will be interesting to hear other opinions on the realism aspect.

Thinking about it, i would imagine it's easier programming for Apple devices due to the hardware being almost identical. Whereas Android has such a varied range of devices with different hardware performance .

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
well sure android has alot of different devices and specs etc but we are specialist when it comes to mobile we have the same app running on Android, Nokia(symbian), Blackberry and WP7 no iOS :)
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
You guys asked for it and we delivered!

New feature is available in the full version of the app LIVE WALLPAPER!!!

yes now you can view awesome fireworks effects in your home screens with black background or an image of your choice!

sound effects are disabled during live wallpaper mode to not disturb you.

So its now even more worth while to upgrade to the full version with many other options.

Also if you liked the app please help us by giving us a good rating it could really help us to make new features
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
Guess what people a brand new update has arrived!

with dozens and more of new sound effects, explosions and fireoworks launch sounds.

Please give us your feedback

[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
Hey everybody,

We just added a very cool feature for the app you can now drag fireworks with your fingers (multi touch supported) to create your cool fireworks show.

you have to give this a try its so good!

Also we released a new game of us named Brain Squeeze, you can check it out at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.future.brainsqueeze_free

so if your up to sharpen your mind & senses it is highly recommended + you can compete vs other people around the world for the highscore and watch your score graphs and more..

if you liked the game please give us a positive ranking to help us continue developing it and many more

Thanks!

Buzzboy: we are looking into your idea, would you like just an option to load the music player from within our app to select a song or have some preloaded song from the app to choose (much like our background gallery)
[Android Apps and Games] buzzboy:
Hi,

In a perfect world, I suppose most would prefer their own Music, but limitations would hinder that I imagine.?

Or, some Pre installed Classical music, eg:

-1812 Overture

-Star Spangled Banner

Just a few ideas for you.

Great update by the way :)

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Future_soft:
hmm i dont think its much of a problem to let you have your own music... just need to load a music player activity and let you play a song and return to the app or am i missing your intent?

Yes that's one way.

What is it? From what I have read, corect me if I am wrong, it syncs outlook calendar and contacts? thats it? So if I dont have outlook then I don't need it?

[HTC Rezound] dawynkoop:
HTC Sync reminds me of a slimmed down version of iTunes. It syncs your calendar and contacts with Outlook, but it also syncs Music, Photos, Bookmarks, and Documents.

Honestly anyone capable of browsing the phone storage can do all of that without needing the software, but for some it might prove useful.
[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
I received the internet connection sharing / HTC update a few weeks ago; internet sharing worked great but the battery life was seriously hit. I couldn't find any other bugs though.

Last week I received notification of the Microsoft 7740 update in Zune; it didn't mention specifics of what was being updated and didn't mention any HTC driver updates anywhere. I applied the update and immediately my battery life went back to "normal" HD7 performance (usually the entire day).

However, since this 7740 update I've not been able to get ANY audio-streaming apps to work either on the 3G conneciton or through Wifi. Apps such as 8tracks, Mixtapes, TuneIn radio etc will load as usual, but when I press play they will show only "connecting" constantly; audio will never play, no matter what channel I try or how many times I skip tracks.

Anybody else experiencing this? I've tried streaming music before / after turning on / off Internet Connection Sharing (in case that's triggering it) but it makes no difference. It's a real bummer since I used TuneIn radio a lot.
[HD7 General] MartinT:
I've just noticed that Spotify has stopped working on my 7740 HD7. Can't get it to work with wi-fi or 3G.
[HD7 General] wheresmybeaver:
Alright things are getting a bit weird.

After a bit of testing I've found that when I restart both my HD7 and my Wifi router at the same time, everything works perfectly as normal; streaming audio, internet, etc etc. When I disconnect from WiFi and go on 3G data, streaming is still working.

However, the trigger for problems seems to be internet connection sharing. Once I'm finished using ICS and I have it turned off, and I reboot my phone (or power cycle), I run into connection problems. The Wifi connection remains solid on reboot, but web pages rarely load and email and other live services grind to a halt. When I turn off Wifi, my 3G data works fine. Streaming services are borked completely at this stage though. To get things working again I have to reset my Wifi router.

My theory is that the bug where ICS resets the phones MAC address on the next reboot is confusing my Wifi router, and only a router reboot will fix the problem. This is a total pain in the hole and HTC need to immediately fix their drivers so that my HD7 has a constant MAC address.

It just plain does not work. You would think that due to the lack of USB mass storage, Google, Samsung - whoever would have refined the MTP, but it's totally hit or miss. Do yourself a favor and get Airdroid from the market. It's free, and it works. Pretty damned dissapointing for a $700 phone.
