[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_main_app:
I'm writing an app and I think I want a listView but I'm having problems. Let me describe what I want. I want a listview with a header and a footer and the list items between the two. I've got the header and footer properly inserted into the listview and everything is working like it should. The problem is when so many items are added to the listview it kicks the footer off the screen. I want to confine the layout to the header at the very top and the footer at the very bottom and have the listview items scroll if they get to a size that can't show them all within the bounds of the header and footer. I've already tried setting the listview to match_parent, fill_parent, and wrap_content but none of those options accomplished with I want to do. Ideas? Should I be using a different layout? Thanks

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Martiniguy1984:
:pFIRST I want to thank everyone who has worked on ALL of the ROMS, CABS, TOOLS, and everything else on this Forum! Amazing work and skill. ;)

Ok so after reading postings of here and other places over two days I had tried 10 different configurations and different ROMS. I have found what works great for me I am runing wp7 7740 with no problems and great battery and data service.

I followed the instructions for installing [ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7740](HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native)

Flash the rom without SDcard

Or if you have already flashed remove it and do a factory reset

- After system loaded, update in ZUNE to 7392 without SD card

- After booting succesfully 7392 go in settings/about and reset the phone

- When phone reboot insert your SDcard

- You will load system and the SDcard should works well now

- Install the DeviceProvisioning cab using WP7-Update-Cab-Sender instructions

- Continue to update to 7720 IN ZUNE but this time with SDcard

- Install the 7720-7740-6mn.cab using WP7-Update-Cab-Sender instructions

My phone has never worked better. I mean WOW I am so impressed. I had tried 10 different configurations to get a working SD card and an updateable system with zune. The reason I used the cab installer for 7740 was because Zune just kept saying my phone was up to date even after reinstalling the DeviceProvisioning cab. I ran into an error in zune 800B010A while trying the ISV Beta Cleanup update. But what worked for me was simply activating the live services on the phone. I got a activation code from MS a while back and have been able to use that. One done BAM it went right to the next step instead of poping up that error.

I did try using the Kingston 16gb micro sdhc glass 4 and It just froze everytime and became locked even when i tried the DEV_STORAGELOCK cab the card would freeze up after i installed it. All of my other cards would work fine and could be unlocked. What is interesting is The Kingston is brand new and the others are over a year old have been used several times and are a class 2.

I was able to use zune for apps, games and music. I have used my wireless data service with out having to put in any setting it just turned on and worked.

As for the Battery, I left my phone unplugged all night with all the services turned and and Guess what there was still power when I woke up. Usually with every other rom and solution it is dead. and a Pain to get back up and running.

There was only one thing that is not working and that is the compass and I actually never use it so not a problem. I was able to zoom in with touch very nicely! WIFI is fast and 3g is fast. I use t-mobile.

I could always leave detailed step by step instructions of what I did to get everything working if anyone wants me to.

Thanks to all,

Philip:D

I share almost the same experiences, here is my way: updated with ZUNE to 7392 (but with sd card) and then install the DeviceProvisioning cab. Update with ZUNE to 7403. Hard reset. Then using WP7-Update-Cab-Sender update to 7720, hard reset again and same way to 7740

Its in the developer section, under the heading update cab SP1. About the 5th one down.

Would this be correct..?

If I take a 3.2 rooted rom and download it, can I take out all the apps I don't want and reflash without the bloat.

Also what compilers are being used for mods. Thanks

New to Android
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Correct, but watch what you rip out of the ROM, some apks are required by Android to run correctly.

Mods need no compilers that I'm aware of (if we're using the same definition of mods).

You can do all your modifications within the Rom itself simply by opening (not extracting) the ROM with WinRar on a PC. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] thedoc8:
Thanks, worked like a charm. Just tried with two apps first and worked fine. I looked at your roms and can I remove some of the same junk that you removed doing what you said? Thanks and later on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btz2:
Hi,

I tried many roms before asking for help, none of them were satisfying for me

so i thought about flashing good stock rom + semaphore kernel.

apparently it's harder than i thought it will be.

so i'm asking for a stock rom that has TW4 and does not contain all samsung apps and semaphore kernel that fits.

* im still open for suggestions about other roms.

(all i need is good battery life, speed without oc and TW4)

Thanks ahead.

[General Questions and Answers] PL0X_Kleiner:
I know this is a really noobish question, but i was really curious, and im really trying to learn as much as i can about smartphones and rooting etc.

So my question is "How can cyanogenmod make roms" for example I own a G2X cyanogenmod apparently has an ICS build ready to release, but how do they do that without an official release or something from LG because LG doesnt release the source codes. Do they make their own source code, or something? If you could answer this and explain it to me it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
They don't need an official release from LG, because CM is based on stock android for which sources (ICS included) are available from google.

Thanks Pirateghost - I've tried the on with BM in the name as I'm guessing that's for Bell Mobility. I am getting an error 155 when trying to run the flash.

My Raider has CWM installed on it and a rooted mod. I've booted using the Power-VolDown button and put it into FastLoad. It seems to reboot when the update starts but then just sits at the HTC logo and the flash tool errors out with 155.

Any ideas?

OEM LOCK the device BEFORE running the RUU upgrade!!!

Figured it out!!!

You need to re-lock the bootloader before the RUU will actually succeed!

As I'm not cool enough to post in the Development section, can someone post an update to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351717 and let the person know there who is having the same problem I am that he/she needs to re-lock the bootloader before they can apply the RUU? Thanks@!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
On my nexus, my auto brightness is not working right. If I take my phone in bright light, the screen brightness goes up. However, if I move away to a dim place or cover the light sensor, it doesn't dim the screen. Its like its stuck on that higher setting till I turn the screen off and on. Of course we have the very low brightness issue also, but this is different. Can anyone try this on theirs' and see what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Same here. Minor inconvenience. Last phone did it also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
I've never had a phone other than an iphone 2g that did this. Its very bad for battery life. I mean, you would be using your phone in bright light and then move away to a dim place and expect the screen to go down in brightness to save battery. But its but working here this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Its not just yours. Patch it or move on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
All you have to do is lock and unlock the phone. It will adjust

Edit: Didn't see that that's what you already do :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
Great, but it shouldn't do that. It should auto adjust on the fly. I saw it functioning fine on the Note I had. After the patch, does this work normal now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wm2001wm2001:
OMG I've just tested my iPod Touch 4th Gen with my LED torch.

It behaves exact same as the Galaxy Nexus

Once the screen brightness has been boosted up, it won't go down until I switch the screen off and on again.

What the hell is this? Is it a kind of function but not a bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
Yea, my old iphone 2g had worked the same way. Once it goes up, it doesnt come down. I've never had a android phone that works that way. All of them go up or down dynamically as needed. I'm sure the change is something new on ICS. Gingerbread & older OS did not do this, example: The Galaxy Note I had before Nexus would dynamically shift. But not the Nexus. On the Nexus, I have to turn the phone off then on for it "sense" the dimmer lighting to decrease the brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankdeale:
Or simply not use auto-brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
You could do that, but the intent of this thread was to highlight an obvious flaw with ICS. Im sure thats how google wanted it, but why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac7822:
Did anybody find the patch and does it work?? I searched the dev section and all I could find was patches to increase the light levels of the auto brightness, couldn't find the patch or a fix for the auto brightness not dimming.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duffmannr3:

Only phones not running an aop Roms (like samsung) lower the dimm...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike2518:
Im the OP of this post, turns out most of the custom roms have an option under display settings called decrease hysteresis that allows the screen to dim. I am completely satisfied now.

[Kindle Fire General] leebo:
Since the Fire does not have external storage, Titanium BU appears to make a folder in another folder called SD (if I recall correctly).

If I have to reset the Fire back to factory for any reason (say for instance, your mom accidentally sets a lock password and then forgets it :rolleyes:), wont the back up files get erased?

So assuming that is true, whats a good way to back things up? I suppose I could copy the BU folder to a PC every few weeks :(
[Kindle Fire General] bsoplinger:
TiBackup paid version can do your backup to your Dropbox account and you can then recover from there. Warning rather or very slow depending on your patience level.
[Kindle Fire General] leebo:
DB is an option, however it only gives you 2 gigs unless you pay. I want to be able to back up the entire device in case I need to restore it later.

I have rooted it, changed the launcher, installed Market, etc. I plan on editing those files to prevent the wallpaper from changing back to the default.

It's my mom's Fire. She's 85. This week she accidentally set the password lock and I had to re-set the device and start over.

I want to be ready in case something happens again.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
There are tons of options...

I use TB with DB on my Droid Incredible, but I really don't depend on it. Once a week (Sundays), I connect it to my main workstation and simply copy the SDcard contents to my NAS. The 32GB SDCard only has about 15gb on it and I do something else while it is backing up.

I also use AndFTP a lot between a unix server that has a NAS on it as well and commonly move files to and from using SFTP. Works on the KF and every other droid device I have.
[Kindle Fire General] teookie:
Wait, does the /sdcard partition get wiped when you do a factory reset? I'd be surprised if it does...
[Kindle Fire General] bsoplinger:
TiBackup only deals with apps. So that 2G should be more than enough space. Later you're talking about backing up the contents of /sdcard which is another thing entirely. Simple desktop copy when attached to your computer will be good enough for that. A nicer way would be to use any of the tons of sync-a-folder programs out there and use it instead of the desktop copy. That way after the first time I'd assume it would be garter since it's only changed files and deletions that must be processed.
[Kindle Fire General] YourIcarus:
Copying over the back-up contents every now and again seems like your best bet if 2gb on Dropbox can't handle your TB backups. Especially since you'd be dedicating over a quarter of your Kindle's disk space to back-ups.
[Kindle Fire General] leebo:
Thanks everyone.

In my case I basically don't want to have to re-set and re-set up my mom's fire if she does something.

Most media (except photos, because Amazon doesn't sync photos for some reason) is in the cloud, so I don't have to worry about that.

I don't know if TB will back up all the settings, inc. things I've altered, like the changing wallpaper fix. I hope so, but if not I'll still have to re-do that.

If her storage fills up I guess I can delete the back up file on her Fire and just keep it on her computer.
[Kindle Fire General] shonda:
more memory + more ?

I have downloaded Titanium Backup to my KF, but im not sure how im supposed to use the app. I downloaded it because I want to have more memory space. I planned to load my kf with music and movies from my computer and I'm sure it will take up most of my space. Im was wondering what kind of steps am i supposed to take to to after I have downloaded the titanium backup to my KF to make this happen...I would also like to know is there a way to get swype on my kf...if you can point me in that direction too...i am rooted with burritoroot3...I also want to know what is the main purpose Go launch ex?

[Kindle Fire General] kwakel:
I'm pretty sure factory reset does not wipe the /sdcard folder. I do a factory reset when I load a new ROM and all my books/backups are still there.
[Kindle Fire General] bvjens31:
I realize this post is a little outdated, but I need to get to my 10th post so I can reply in the Dev forums :D Leebo, you can use the Kindle Fire Utility (latest version is 0.9.3) to lock the wallpaper in place after you change it (must be rooted and have a non-stock launcher). Kind of a pain to have to do if you change wallpapers a lot, but I think it's the best you can do without flashing a custom ROM. I just flashed CM7 last night and I can pick and choose whatever wallpaper I want and it sticks, even on the lockscreen.
[Kindle Fire General] leebo:
Since that post I discovered (well, read here on xda) that after editing that file, most or all wallpapers of the same type will stay. I put a moving wallpaper on my moms Fire a couple of months ago and it's still there.

How is that CM7 working? Does everything work?

I haven't played with any version of CM because, as I understand, I would loose 4G on my EVO. So I'm wondering if you loose any functionality with the KF.

I'm in the same situation, i'm a fairly heavy user. I have a iPhone4s also and i can get through a working day (lots of checking, push emails, RSS feeds etc) and the phone is on about 50% at the end of the day.

I've had my GN for a few days now and the battery is at 50% before lunch.. i'm probably using it less. Even compared to my Google Nexus one this phone is really crap for battery.

I'm running MCR Rom with the UV kernel and its still bad. SCreen is normally about 50-60% usage, Android OS is about 30-40%.
