[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nepami:
I have created a simple launcher application and also an application widget. This app widget works perfect in home screen of default launcher (Press and hold on home screen --> Widgets ---> MyExampleWidget).

I want to implement the same behavior in my launcher application home screen too.

I am following the sample home application http: // developer.android.com / resources / samples / Home / index.html

Would you please help me?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoolu.Taylor:
Alright everyone, I have an NC that I rooted quite awhile ago to great success. However, in my quest for updating to ics, I completely deleted everything. Buttons don't work, and for some reason I can't have it access my computer's hard drive because it won't turn on.

So, if anyone has any ideas for fixing it, it would be much appreciated. All I think I need is the original NC software (everything) and a way to put it on the hdd that I can't access. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
I think you should be able to make (or re-use) a CWM card and use it to install a fresh rom. Unless it's totally borked, the NC should still boot first from the SD card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoolu.Taylor:
I would, but the only problem is that I cannot even get the device to power on, the buttons don't work.

Edit: Here's the deal, I just need the damned thing to power up for me so I can mount the sdcard and restore it. But whatever utility makes the buttons work, is gone - they aren't just merely broken. So I can press the buttons and the kernel or whatever it is that interacts with the buttons will not understand what is going on because the utility is not there.

If anyone has a solution for either powering it on via usb (with the device off) or getting the buttons to work again, great.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoolu.Taylor:
Can anybody access their NC cwm for me and try to find whatever it is that I deleted? It has something to do with buttons or what not.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidr415:
Are you holding the power button on for several seconds.. Until the screen flashes?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
^ What he said. Sometimes I have to hold the power down for quite a while, or try it several times. This is usually after an SOD (it may help to have it charging too).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoolu.Taylor:
Yes and yes. I hold it for quite awhile. Still does nothing.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8108:
Have you tried holding down the n button along with the power button?

Hold both for 10 seconds. Release. Hold power button alone for 10 seconds. Sometimes it takes 2 or three cycles of holding down both buttons, then the power.button to get the nook reset.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMPOWER:
Just because the screen does not flicker, and you can’t access the file system from your computer using a USB cable, does not mean that the device has not powered on. I can format the whole file system, and the power button will turn it on every time. For turning on the device, the power button is independent of the file system.

It sounds like you have just screwed up the files in the boot partition. I screwed up my device to this point more than a couple times. I had the same none flickering screen, and no file system access from a USB cable. The NC is programmed to boot from a SD card before internal storage, there is really no way that you could have screwed it up to the point that it won’t continue to do that. Below are the steps that I have always taken to get back to a working device,

*fully charge the device, this is very important, because the device might have been on this whole time, and you just could not see it

*Download the stock 1.2 update.zip found HERE, get the “update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip” file

*Now download the file to make a bootable CWM card found HERE

*Follow the directions in that post to make your bootable CWM card, then place the “update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip” file onto that card

*Put the bootable CWM card into your NC

*Hold the power button, and count to 3, then let go

*If after a count to 10, nothing has appeared on the screen, repeat the last step, you most likely just turn the device off.

*This time CWM should load up, select “wipe cache partition,” followed by “wipe cache partition”

*Now scroll down to and select “mounts and storage”

*Now scroll down to and select “format /boot”

*When that has completed, you will then select “install zip from sdcard”

*Then select “choose zip from sdcard,” and select the “update-nc-stock-1.2-signed.zip” file

*If you receive an error at the very start of the install process, you need to select “toggle script asserts,” to disable script asserts

*When that has completed, remove the card, select reboot the device, and boot the device no SD card in it

Your device should now boot just like stock. At this point you should be back to a completely stock NC.

Report back with any results, good or bad.

how to customize my desktop .. im using windows 7 ultimate

can i tweak the processor?

Htchome adds the animated sense widget as a gadget to your home screen and you can download a moveable wallpaper program. Not sure what its called though...
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
If you would like to change the login wallpaper download this.

If you want to change the Windows theme you'll need to patch some system files. You can do that easily by downloading Univeral Theme Patcher here.

If you want some cool widgets and stuff on the desktop, i can recommend using Rainmeter.

If you want to use animated/video wallpapers you can install DreamScene. This is a resource hog, so it will run better if you have a good CPU.
[Off-topic] Nicgraner:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trevorhimself:
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Quadrant isn't optimized for ICS. Considering how this beast handles and displays HD gaming content I wouldn't be concerned. Same thing happened when Gingerbread was released, a lot of the scores were low when they really shouldn't have been.

Cheers,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilebuddha:
Does it really make a difference what your quadrant score is? Do you feel the phone is laggy?

With my nexus, I don't feel laggy at all day in and day out. I haven't seen any app lagging, and games like backstab hd, fieldrfunner hd run great on it. So what if the score is lower?

You replaced your Z with an S though. <ducks>

But yeah, to the OP, Quadrant isn't optimized for ICS. In general, a tool like Quadrant is only useful to let you know if tweaks to your system actually made it "faster". To a large degree, it's a useless benchmark.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honf:
Can someone try out the app androsensor and check what values the light sensor reports?

Mine only reports 5 values:

0, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000.

0 - total darkness

10000 - right next up to a light

It should report a much broader range of values. This should also cause worse auto-brightness, since the device only has five light values on which to chose, instead of a few thousand.

I suspect this is a software issue and could be fixable.

Edit:

Running Rocket ROM v11.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerreZ:
Tested it . Only got 3 values 10,100 ( at 10 cm of a lamp ) and 1000 right at the lamp. Never even got 10000.

So you probably found something , but how fix it ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honf:
It appears to be a common "feature" across several devices. Though some report different values, they are generally kept to within six to seven values.

[Acer Iconia A500] sacrin:
The title pretty much says it all.

More info: my second Android device (also had custom ROMs on my old Xperia), I'm pretty tech savvy but don't want to deal with a buggy Rom or one that has lots of non working features.

It must have mult-language capability. Improved battery life would be nice, as would safe over-clocking. I also bought a Galaxy Tab 10 - trying to decide which of the two to keep. The stock keyboard and notification widget area are much nicer on Galaxy.

Tablet will be used mainly for internet browsing, movie watching, reading, HTML/WordPress editing, etc.

Recommendations and advice appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Dont take update if tablet is new

first if your tab is new and not on 3.2 Dont take the update until you decide what to do..

I think all the roms are equally great.. the right one for you would depend on what your looking for.. I would read the threads in the development forum for each of the roms.. Battery life and OC Do not belong in same subject .

You also need to do some checking on your tablet.. as in what version of the rom you have on it.. if you are post 3.2 you will need to downgrade to change roms. There are a few different ways on how to do this. Again read threads on downgrading to root stock 3.2 and above.. lots of people have been posting information and questions regarding this.

Please read and get to know your tablet before you flash anything . remember to backup and backup then backup the backups.

Thanks for listening to my so called ranting .and good luck

[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Personally, I still prefer stock ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] sacrin:
Thanks, Erica. I am on 3.2.1. Why do you recommend I diwngrade to 3.2?

I plan on staying on stock for at least several weeks, but just wanted to an idea about what was out there. Also, it looks like in order to get proper Hebrew support, I am going to have to root regardless.

I remember having a custom Rom on my Xperia that had an app to control the over clocking and underckocking and basically did so based on what was needed. So if one is only reading a book, for example, the app would under clock and result in better battery life. Conversly, it would over clock for graphic intensive programs.

Back-up a lot - got it! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
im sorry dont mean to confuse you..

To do things like to root the tablet needed for things like adding ad-hoc tether network support as well as other customization you will have to root your tablet. when acer pushed the 3.2 update to the iconia they plugged the hole used to root the device. Its much harder if you have 3.2 or above .. if so you will have to fallow the downgrade procedure . then you can install a pre rooted 3.2 or above..

if you use your tablet and it works fine the way it is for you . DO NOT Change it ..

just use the tablet.. it works great STOCK FOR 99.9 PERCENT of people..

Sorry for the confusion.. I think anyone dont need root should STAY Stock and able to accept the updates . Just remember acer keeps plugging the holes.. when ics is released who knows what they will do to it.

good luck ..

Hi,

I just wanted a simple answer (as I could not find one) whether I could simply use Superoneclick to root my Galaxy S2 (providing I installed the correct USB drivers for the phone).

Also, the phone was purchased in the UK (and still is in the UK) so how would that work with roms etc and rooting.

Thanks a ton in advance.

Hello all,

The market seems to work for me, except that when I try to purchase an app (by clicking on the app ammount (ex: 0.99$), I get the error: "an error occurred. Please try again".

Free apps seems to download fine, and even paid apps that i've already purchased in the past re-downloaded fine...

I've tried flushing the market data from the manage application tool, which forced a re-acceptance of the TOS, to no avail.

Any ideas?

Btw, I've installed the rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155454 and downloaded the GAPPS listed there. I would post there, but I'm not allowed at the moment (I don't have 10 posts yet)

hey there i have this problem plz help ...

Incredible S , rooted , S-off ,HBOOT-6. 13. 1002

i recently tried to flash the official RUU sense 3.0 ... but here is what happened

i asked a friend how to do it , he said just connect ur phone to ur PC and download the RUU and start it !! and u r ready to go !!

but it didnt work , i did what he said , downloaded the RUU , connected my phone , the installation went well , after it finished the phone booted and got stuck on the boot logo (HTC) !! i tried to remove the battery and start again , still nothing stuck on the boot logo !!! ... now i dont know what to do ... PLZ help me !

oh and now i cant go into recovery ... a red "!" mark shows up when i try to go there ... !!

i tried to flash CWM from bootloader , but it says Model ID incorrect , !!! totally hopeless !!! dont know what to do !!!
[HTC Incredible S] keroro430:
If you'd like to install official Sense 3.0 Rom, update hboot to 7.00.

If you'd like to install a custom Rom, flash recovery and the custom rom that you want to use.

If Model ID incorrect, use "fastboot getvar all" to your phone CID and add the cid to android_info.txt that is in the zip.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Model ID is different than the CID. Adding the CID to the android_info.txt will not correct the error. Adding the correct modelid to the file will fix it.

whats a modelid file ??? and how can i add it !! plz !!
[HTC Incredible S] keroro430:
Oops, sorry. I have made a mistake. Are you make sure your phone is IncS? Go to official clockworkmod website to download the latest one.
[HTC Incredible S] Hiken_Ace:
yes its INC S !!

ok i did that , downloaded the last version !!!

should i rename the zip file into "PG32DIAG" ?? so it can auto install it ?

cuz i said previously , only bootloader is workin right now !!
[HTC Incredible S] keroro430:
You can give a try to fast boot.

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"(rename recovery.img if its need)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
I'm glad that a Samsung high-end international Android smartphone finally has a good RGB notification LED, but the way it's been implemented in the Galaxy Nexus is pretty damn poor.

1) The blink rate is terrible. On my Motorola Milestone, I'd come back into the room and take a quick look at my phone to see if the LED is blinking. With the Nexus, I have to bloody stare at it for 10 seconds.

2) No customisation options. What's the point in having a white light for both my text messages and emails? At least Whatsapp lets me choose different colours I suppose...

Now, I know there are applications out there that can provide remedy to these issues, but this is another thing that I don't want to rely on third parties for...

So, my question is this: Will Google be fixing the Galaxy Nexus' notification LED, or will I have to resort to using Lightflow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
Its not broken. You're comparing it to a different phone that had an oem overlay. It's there for developers to utilize for app features. Now you can edit the code to make the blink rate faster just like the rom I'm running (bamf wookie) has that edited. But google will probably not be doing anything further than the way it has already been implemented.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AgentSmith03:
I know you said you don't want to go 3rd party, but I think LightFlow might be one of your few options. I just set it up today, and can tell you that the "Very Fast" setting on LightFlow makes the LED blink every second. So far I am very impressed with the customization options of LightFlow and might even purchase the full version soon.
