[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Back when I first rooted my NT, I seem to recall being able to edit the information, access FC, etc on a given app by click-holding the icon. Now, the only thing click-hold does is either move the app to the desktop if in Apps, or bring up the trash can if on the desktop.

I thought I could live with the issue, until I started trying to edit my build.prop with PropEditor to change the NT's fingerprint to spoof a Nexus S.

First step is to clear the Market data. Usually, I'd click-hold the Market icon, which would take me to a screen that gave me the option to FC, clear data, etc. Of course, I couldn't do this, so I had to take a round-about way getting to that screen (using Mobo Task Killer).

Next step is to install, then run PropEditor. Ran the app.

Next step is to save a backup of /system. PropEditor FAILED to save.

I figured if I were really careful, I could still go into build.prop and do what I had to do, doing a factory reset if I screwed something up. So I looked for build.prop and clicked on it... only to get an error message saying that the NT couldn't open build.prop for me.

Thoughts?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
BTW... I guess "click-hold" should actually be "long press" :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
What launcher are you using? That behavior is present in ADW.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
I'm using the Honeycomb launcher. Is there a way to switch or other launchers after you've completed the rooting process?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
You can clear the defaults from the application settings, or you can install a new one (try uninstalling and reinstalling ADW if you already have it installed).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Outstanding! Now THIS is an interface I understand! My only complaint is that I've gotten used to being able to stack the icons closer.

Now then, on to the problem of the build.prop...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
I just couldn't get PropEditor to work for me, so I wound up downloading Root Explorer instead.

Here's me being cautiously optimistic... :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
You can change the columns and rows in the ADW settings ... I have mine at 8 and 9 ... is that what you're referring to?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
No, I was changing the build.prop to spoof a Nexus S. It didn't work under PropEditor, so I had to install Root Explorer and do it that way.

I recently flashed my phone over with a new theme and ever since everytime I try to go into the brightness setting it says that its not responding and closes.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballchace:
Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is any way to convert the popular game, "I wanna be the guy" to the Xperia Play. Or for that matter, any Multimedia Fusion game. Since the game was made in Multimedia Fusion 2, and the source code was released, AND there is an option to export the game into android, it should be possible, right? If anyone knows how to do this, and will be willing to work on it with me, then please reply to this thread. Thank you.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
The android export is only a placeholder-text at this point, it's still being worked on
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballchace:
Hmmm, well there is a java export. Maybe we could somehow import that into eclipse and then edit the buttons.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
Its nowhere near that simple. While Android programs are programmed in "Java" theres way more behind the scenes with libraries involved and other parts of the Android SDK.

It could be done, but it is a staggering amount of work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballchace:
well, since thats basically out of the question, what if i got an html5 source code of a similar game that was made in gamemaker? would that be possible to port onto the Xperia Play? Sorry about me being such a noob, I am not familiar with the Android SDK, and only know C++
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubblegumballoon:
Creating a game using game maker will only give you the binaries not the source, you cant just use it to make an android or iOS game.

Honestly the easiest way to make a game for android would be to create it in flash and then put in in some kind of wrapper to make it launch natively. The proper way to make a game would be to learn how to create one using C++ which will probably take a good few months before you could even create something basic. It depends how fast you are at learning new things.

However if you are going to learn programming I highly recommend starting somewhere easier like VB or Java to at least understand the general concept of programming. (preferably VB is you are a total newbie)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogue Leader:
That would be even more work than converting the Java program. There is no simple way to "Port" games from one platform to another unless there is an emulator (and they don't make PC emulators for Android, and even if they did it would probably run like ****).

Android games are programmed in Java, however the Android SDK has libraries to make it work for every possible function of an Android Phone. If you don't know Java, you won't get very far in making anything work on Android. There are also special libraries for the Xperia Play you will need to download and then program the code into the game to recognize the gamepad controls.

If you really want to do this I would go ahead and learn Java, make a few programs and then tackle the game. Its going to be quite the project, but you'll definitely learn a lot.

Does anybody knows, if the ICS ports for the I9000 support USB-Host?

Is there finally USB Host possible with the I9000? coz i saw this awsome app here https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.dslrcontrollerand would be pretty cool to run on my phone. i thaught because android 4.0 supports USB-Host maybe, the ports do too.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam03:
Frustration is growing by a second as I researched my issue only finding similar questions raised without much answers...

I'm hoping someone here would be able to help me out on this.

I'm upgrading from a HTC Hero to a Galaxy Nexus. I want to transfer all my contacts from my old HTC to the new phone. I used Google Sync. :mad:

I never had the habit of syncing contacts to the PC; hence my GMail contact list was pretty much empty to begin with.

On the HTC, i exported all the contacts into the SD card as VCF file and went to GMail and imported that file into my GMail.

Then, it seems like it only grabbed a portion of the contacts into Gmail but at the same time, deleting most of my phone contacts in my HTC! The contact list on the phone only has facebook contacts and their emails, the phone numbers (not all of them for some very odd reasons) are gone.

In the call history, the caller of past calls had became "Unknown caller" rather than their names.

In the SMS history, the author of the messages had became the phone numbers rather than their names.

I guess I could get some of the phones back by manually figuring out which number belongs to who depending on the content of the texts but it does seem like the numbers lost the linkages to the names after syncing.

Is it possible at all to get my contact list back? :confused:

Another thing I tried doing was to use the original HTC Sync. It seems like it did its syncing but where do these contacts go on the PC? I checked Outlook and clicked contacts only to find about 20 contacts in there; my phone list definitely had way more than that.

What is going on...someone please spark me some new years hope...

does this leave the bootloader unlocked?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alaq:
It flashes the Boot, System, & Webtop like Sam's Fruitcakes, and the Fruit Cakes don't remove the unlock so I would say no, it doesn't remove the unlock. (Some dev please correct me if I'm wrong)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
You are right. Unlock is a permanent thing (hardware short). However, some people may want to have the Unlocked text gone if they want to warranty. Does this remove the unlock text? I know regular SBF's remove the unlock text (but phone is still unlocked).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alaq:
I don't know... I think because your only flashing certain parts it doesn't remove it... But then again this does flash a new boot.img, so again I can't be certain...

hey guy, I got a quick question for ya's. Just got my KF tonight. Pretty sweet, but i seemed to hit a bump. Got everything setup. Root, TWRp, and the iCS ROM from here of course. Now after running ICS, i figured i'd try out CM7. i flashed the Update.zip and it booted just fine. Booted back into recovery, and stupid me, I flashed the Gapps for the ICS ROM instead of using the Kindle Utility to install GAPPS. Now no matter what I do, ive tryed to re-flash CM7, and even ICS, and every time i Reboot it takes me back into recovery. Yess i did try to Restore my original Backup that I made as soon as i got TWRP on here. Still wont boot into System. If someone can gimma a few pointers on what i need to do, i'd really appreciate it guys. Thanks again

Jon

EDIT....Jesus Christ, NVMD...i dont know what the hell happen, but i tryed to Normal Reboot with the Utility and powered the device on normally and all seems well.....I have no clue why I had this issue. MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD....If anyone has any ideas on what may have happened and why I couldnt boot into system normally, PLase PM me and let me know...Thanks, and sorry guys.

EDIT 2...Well it happened again LOL....Any ideas guys why I boot into recovery and then when i try and boot into system it seems to loop and then keeps throwing be back into recovery?>

You're in either of two situations: stuck in fastboot, or stuck in recovery. Either way, run:

adb shell

idme bootmode 4000

reboot
[Kindle Fire General] Lkr721993:
did you make sure to completely wipe the system and clear cache and dalvik cache? after doing that and setting it to boot normal once, i never had a problem with fastboot again

[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if you use "reboot" in twrp it reboots allways to twrp - not fine but it is as it is

when working with twrp is use to say "shut down"

bootmode manually

with adb:

adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"

adb reboot

with fastboot:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
You didn't get a new sim with your phone?? You can always call tmobile or go into one of their stores and get the newest card. Just tell them your old one is worn out. You should have gotten a new one though in the upgrade box...I did. Did you find the user manual in that little compartment in the top of the box? That is where the new sim card is as well. Mine didn't work with the old card so I put the new one in, called tmobile and activated it. everything works now!

And now Sprints switching to LTE :P Really lame, only one I haven't heard about is Verizon, but I know they have data caps, so I'm pretty stoked to be on T-Mobile.

[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
When I had the Sensation I used my old SIM card and it worked fine on 4g but with the Amaze I believe the reason for having the new sim card is for the wifi calling feature to function properly.***I could be completely wrong here.

Regardless, you want the new SIM card so it's good that you got it.

What data plan do you have? I'm on the Android Preferred plan soft capped at 5g but I get download speeds ranging from 17 - 23Mbps and upload ranging from 1.5 - 1.8 Mbps in Los Angeles.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
Yes, the only reason you need a new sum is for the wifi calling, every thing else should be the same. But trust me, the wifi calling on this is way better than the sensation. On the amaze I can get wifi calling even with a weaker signal AND through my schools wifi proxy, which my sensation couldn't do ;)

Hey dum dum, do you not see the hsdpa in the pic? Here is another If you want, and one with WiFi so you can tell the difference....
[HTC Amaze 4G] benasaur:
I was wondering whether anyone has noticed their phone report that it is on an HSPA+ network (as opposed to HSDPA).

It appears that with the 27+ Mbps speedtest result, that what is reported is beyond the theoretical limit of HSDPA and so the phone would actually have to be connected to HSPA+ even though the phone incorrectly reports HSDPA as the network.

But I don't know if there's a way to know what type of network exactly the phone is connected to?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
T-Mobile has IN SOME MARKETS HSPA+ capable of a theoretical maximum of 42+Mbps. In THOSE markets 27Mbps is completely possible.

As for what network you are connected to specifically (past the generic 2G, 3G, ext) I'm not sure.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
Idk man, but I got great speed test repeatedly
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
I've gotten speeds of around 21 to 22 in some areas of Los Angeles! :D, my house is usually about 14 to 17. honestly anything beyond 10 is just enough, I have a 10 mpbs at home and its way more than I need I download a 600 meg file in about 8 minutes...with speeds of 14 to 17 you won't need anything more...and if you're downloading huge files on your phone, good luck with throttling and better have massive SD card :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] hurrpancakes:
Really depends on location.

Did a test today and got 22Mbps download, did a test yesterday in a different location, get 1>Mbps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] benasaur:
Yes, that is correct, but there is a difference between the HSDPA network (having a max bandwidth of 21 Mbps and what is being reported on everyone's phones, apparently), and the HSPA+ network (the new T-mobile rollout, capable of 42 Mbps, and accessible only by the Amaze 4G).

My question isn't to doubt any speedtest result. It is obvious that any result over 21 Mbps would have to be obtained on the HSPA+ network. But I want to know whether anyone's Amaze has shown the network type to be HSPA+, so we conclusively know what network it is connected to. Or if not, how to go about obtaining this information.

As for me personally, I shuttle between the Bay Area and L.A. and have gotten speedtest results in the 11-12 Mbps range in both locations.

It's extremely ironic, because my home internet is 3Mbps down and 0.5Mbps up... DARN YOU THROTTLING!!!

[Nook Color General] bobtidey:
That's probably an issue with the market filtering by tablet type which in turn is affected by the lcd screen resolution.

You can either manually set the lcd density but better would be to upgrade to a much later CM7 where this issue is already sorted. Use either the latest nightly or even better the KANG MiRaGe ROM
