[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darko.baruh:
I' am total noob so sorry for asking stupid questions. I have install stock ICS and now I flashed with GLaDOS V2.2 kernel. In my settings or app drawer I don't see some kind of customization. I want to know where and how to adjust the speed of the CPU to work on smaller frequency ( to have better battery ) and to adjust the screen colors ( GLaDOS V2.2 voodoo setings ) ?

Also I have green flickr when unlocking the phone (when I was on stock kernel I didn't have this problem). How to fix this?

Again sorry for asking stupid questions but I really can't find answer with search function on this forum.

P.S. I have Nexus S GT-I9020T on Wind, Stock ICS ROM 4.0.3 and GLaDOS V2.2 kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fataldesain:
Well I'm kinda a newb to the nexus but I have the same setup, had to install voodoo from the app market and used setcpu to change cpu. Setcpu is not free.

Can somebody tell me why my rgb settings won't stay.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darko.baruh:
I was thinking that Voodoo and CPU setup have to be implemented in the standard setup menu of the ROM. I think that on CMD 7 they were implemented inside the setup menu.

EDIT: The update (2.0) is now live in the market, but you might want to BEWARE, read my comments below. These "bugs" I mention have turned out to be "features" of 2.0 so they will break what I listed. Update at your own risk. For me and the way I use Dropbox, the new pretty UI was definitely not worth the lost functionality. Fortunately I came across another Beta version (1296) that brings all the goodness of the UI update without breaking any of the good stuff the old version had! New file below

I just received a Dropbox Pre-release Update that I thought I'd share with the good peeps of XDA. (Posted this in Android Apps too, but thought I should take care of my E4GT peeps directly.)

Some nice updates coming down the pipe, but we get to play with it now. (Make sure you have a backup of your folder and previous DB setup.)

From the email:

Here's the stuff we've added:

• Favorites: quick offline access to files

• Bulk upload photos and videos

• Access all file and folder actions with just one tap

• Improved gallery view

• Upload from and export to your phone's memory

• Rename files and folders

• Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) improvements

• Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements

EDIT: Some nice UI changes, but some bugs in this as well:

The sdcard/Dropbox file is moved to sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch and will no longer play nice with wallpapers, ringtones, etc.

You now add files as Favorites to make them available offline, but there is currently no way to make folders favorites, so you would have to mark each file you want to use offline

No longer an indicator showing whether a file is already downloaded or not

Added bulk upload, but still no bulk download

Lost the updating/downloading notification on the status bar, now we don't know when the files finished uploading/downloading

And here's the apk. If you still want to give it a go. :) And the Dropbox Forum discussion if you want to join in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
Downloaded it from your other post but i'll thank you again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
You're welcome. It's a pretty nice setup. Will be nice when they get a controllable two-way sync for Android in the native DB app. :)

@jerdog, sorry bud, meant to post this in Themes and Apps. Feel free to move if it is not General enough :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YoungAceAtlanta:
I'm kinda upset Android just now getting this update when IOS had it for months

From my Samsung GS2 E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Based on the DB forums, looks like a different update and it's easier to work on iOS with it's limited number of variables (screen sizes, versions, vendor UI's, etc.) compared to Android. So it's not surprising that it generally takes development longer for Android apps and updates.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidc23:
Mind if I share
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Not at all. In fact if you go to the forum page I linked in the OP, you can find the link for the apk there as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I'M NOT YELLING:
I don't understand how they still don't have two way syncing on the native app, but look on the market and you can find apps that do this just fine.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Is this different than the "unreleased beta" that's been floating around XDA for about a month?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Been asking that in the Dropbox forums as well.

No idea, I haven't seen that one and nothing came up with Dropbox1306 when I searched, so probably not. As far as I can tell by the DB forum, this just came out today to beta testers. I only received it in my email about 30 minutes before I posted it so I think it is fairly new. Do you have a link to this "unreleased beta" that you are talking about? It would be pretty easy to tell if it's the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I think I just answered my own question, as I realized my "beta" file is called Dropbox1296... Anyhoo, here it is: http://db.tt/fOjjMX2q (and it's awesome).

But if this new one is an update of that^, (and, number-wise, it seems like it must be) then I'm switching, as Dropbox just gets better and better with every update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
If you give the one I posted a go, make a nandroid first and copy your sdcard/Dropbox folder to your PC because the latest removes it and moves the files into a Data folder tree. I still haven't received a good answer as to why. Wouldn't be a big deal, but I think it screws up the ability for the phone to recognize the files for media purposes (i.e. ringtones, wallpapers, etc.) Check out the forum link I posted and you can get a feel for what's going on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
This update is freaking amazing!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
still can't move files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I just updated the OP with more info on a different Beta I discovered. This is the beta before 1306 and provides all the beauty of the new UI with all the functionality and ease of the old version! Really good stuff. Personally, I wouldn't update in the market. I'd use 1296, I am.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Here's an inverted 1296 if you want it...

http://db.tt/X99tgejo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Hey buddy:

*Thanks for the link in the OP to the Forum about the whole thing: after trying both, and realizing what you'd be giving up with either 2.0 or 1306, I'd have to agree with you....

1296 is where it's at.

I might make the suggestion that anyone who goes this route should definitely turn off automatic updates in the Market.

(I've accidentally done this before: I'll find a beta of something that I really like, and then forget the fact that it is a beta, then update it through the market: thus losing the functionality I had loved from the beta version.)

Anyway, thanks for the option: if I hadn't read up on it, I'd have just blindly updated it, just because of the version number.

EDIT: and thanks to you, John, for the inverted version, btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
No problem. The only issue or "enhancement" with 1296 is this new "feature" they have for downloading files. No more long pressand automatically into the appropriate folder. Now it's "download"and then select a location. But at least we keep the /sdcard/Dropbox root folder in this version! :)

If Dropbox actually listens to its community, those "enhancements" should be dealt with in the next update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Cool. (but actually I kinda like being able to be specific about where the file goes-it's prolly a good habit to get into.

Maybe this way, my downloads folder doesn't look like a complete train-wreck.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have to agree about 1296. It has been the best for me as well. I have an inverted 1306 but I rolled back because 1296 has been perfect!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Haha, I just noticed:

Hi all

Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Skyroket:
Sounds like something that can be done with Tasker. You can specify a State, that when the bluetooth is connected to a certain device (you can choose from a list of devices you're paired with) it will perform certain actions. Launching an app is pretty straightforward.

Pandora will play upon launch, but I don't know how to initiate playback in any of the main music players with Tasker. It's probably pretty easy. I think there's even a Tasker forum on this site you could ask for help.
[General Questions and Answers] josh36:
I have managed to compile (from source) and install CM7.2 on my HTC dream, but my questions below are related to Android:

1. Is there a way to find out which packages (.apk) were installed on my system and if so, how do I do that?

2. Is there a way to find out each package dependencies (I need to figure out this as I am bent on removing the vast amount of guff installed on the phone - I won't need 90% of this stuff)?

3. Similarly to 2 above - is there a way to look at dependencies of a package not yet installed on my system (i.e. the .apk file)?

4. How do I actually remove a package for good from the system?

5. Similarly to 3 above, how do I actually install a package from within the root system - I know I can do this via adb, but is there a way to do this inside the, say, command line terminal?

6. Is there a way to alter (understand remove) certain program permissions which I could see "granted" to a particular program/package? I know there are various ways to look at these, but I wish to remove permissions I am not happy being granted to that particular program/package.

And one last a bit more advanced query: I would like to build a single package from the source tree and then install the resulting .apk file on my system.

Basically, I will try to upgrade a package with a new revision and add a few patches to the package source of my own before compiling it and building it again.

I usually build the whole lot (all packages + the rootfs image itself) with "mke bacon", but if I want to alter the source and build a single package how do I do that?

I am not very familiar with the Android make system, so I don't want to go heads-first into something and make a real mess of it.

Thanks a lot for any assistance given.
[General Questions and Answers] josh36:
Small addition as apparently I cannot post a reply (too few posts) in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9055790#post9055790

Question to ezTerry (if he is reading this!): the advice given in that post above was absolutely splendid! I followed it religiously and it worked an absolute treat!

There is one exception though - I've LOST all of my IMEI, IMEI SV and Baseband information after applying these fixes. As soon as I installed the radio updates and then installed my newly-compiled kernel + CM7.2 (successfully!) I then checked the above fields from Settings and they were all gone!

After a while, the baseband, IMEI and IMEI SV appeared, but the IMEI and IMEI SV stuff have now different values than what I've had previously (I've had T-Mobile IMEI, now it appears that I was "assigned" O2 IMEI & IMEI SV values - very bizarre!).

Is this something I need worry about and (I don't yet have a sim card, but I plan to get one soon after I fix my phone), more importantly, how the hell do these IMEI numbers appeared on my phone - where did they came from?!
[General Questions and Answers] josh36:
Any takers?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
@1 Check out the respective directories, i.e. for system apps /system/app

@2 Trial and Error, or someone might have made such a list for your device already

@3 No simple way, you would have to look through the decompiled code i guess

@4 Remove the apk from the folder (for example /system/app) and reboot your device, after wards you might have to clean up some extra folders, i.e. settings of that app. (you can use SD Maid from my signature for that)

@5 Some can just be installed the usual way, by opening it. Some .apk files have to be put in the system folders, afterswards reboot and the app should be "installed". To put those apps there use a rootcapable file explorer of your choice. To edit /system you will need to remount it as it is read only by default, you can do that through command line, but most good file explorers have an option for that.

@6 Yes thats possible, there was an app to do that, just not sure what it was called... It is very likely though, that those apps will not work correctly or just FC.

For the make system, if you just change a package, and build again, it will most likely just rebuild the changed files. I'm not so sure either though... damn make system can be pretty messy... and get upset real fast if you change something ;-).
[General Questions and Answers] josh36:
Yep, that indeed helped - I didn't realise that the .apk files are "intact" and do not behave in the "standard" (in Linux terms) way a "package" behaves - the app is "installed" as soon as .apk is placed in /data/app or /system/app. The PacketManager does the rest on reboot.

It also cleans up the mess "automagically" if I delete .apk file and reboot, which is nice.

Yeah, that's a real bugger - I can't see a way of finding the dependencies, but I haven't looked properly at "pm" (the Package Manager command line tool) - maybe I could use something there.

A very simple example will issustrate my point - my calendar application is installed and needs some sort of GOOGLE_MAIL and access to the internet permissions, neither of which I am happy to grant, because 1) I won't be using online calendars; and 2) I won't use (google) mail.

The truth is, I deliberately did not install any google apps as I won't be using any of them - ever!

Now, every time I boot up and look at my log files with logcat I see a bunch of error messages that this application (the calendar) needs a bunch of permissions which do not exist (naturally, as I haven't installed a single google app on my phone).

So, I wish to wipe out these permissions from the calendar so that logcat is not filled with junk every time I start my phone.

As I already pointed out above, there are also some installed apps who are listed to "need" permissions I am not happy to grant - like the internet access to calendar for example (there are more apps, but I think you get the point).

Yeah, that was my plan B - there must be another - easier - way though.

I wish to update a lot of stuff (I will be recompiling/refreshing existing packages as well as adding new things I developed for "standard" Linux), but with this Android make system I am blind - it is very different to what I am used to in the Linux world.

To top it all off, I can't post in any of the devs forums yet as I do not have 10 posts!
[General Questions and Answers] josh36:
Further to my previous post - I just found out a superb article about stripping out Android and removing unnecessary packages from it - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones

It lists various dependencies and shows what could be deleted and what cannot be - what I wanted really.

My only remaining problem - at least for now - is the making of specific packages without building the whole image.

Back in August / September there was a lot done to circumvent Google from crashing the Videos app after checking for root.

What can be done now with ICS? I checked and the SU renamer app is defunct in Market, and the modded Videos apk doesn't work as it is several versions too old.

I love ICS and won't give up root. Any ideas out there? Just tried renting a $0.99 movie and no luck, the Videos app just crashes. I'm on rooted OTA 4.0.3 .... thanks!
