I saw a while back someone had developed windowed apps for android. Could've sworn I saw a video but this is all I could come up with. I guess not much came of it.

hi i have root and s off and i need to make the phone simfree can you plz help me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] arrrghhh:
Moved to general.

Please, don't post any questions in the Development section. That's for... development ;).
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
Very tempted to get a HTC Ville when it comes out. Problem is it will run Sense 4.0 on top of ICS. Always have run vanilla. Played around with Sense enough to know I hate it, but never actually owned a Sense device so my knowledge of it is limited.

Question is, how well can I 'hide' it without rooting, since that won't be an option right away? I know I can do a lot by choosing alternates for the launcher, email, sms and contacts apps etc. but can I make Sense effectively unnoticable? Or does it permeate everything too deeply? And will Sense still be lurking around hogging system resources?

Sent from HTC G2
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Yes you can make sense unnoticable to the eyes by using alternative launchers and widgets. But, the overlay will still be there sucking up resources and battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
I was afraid that would be the answer. Big-time bummer. Thanks for the quick reply.

Sent from HTC G2
[General Questions and Answers] nico53laval:
That's wrong you can get something like absolute system control for root and deinstall sense that's what I did with touchwizz. There'll also be Rom's without sense.
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
But I won't be able to root until the Ville is cracked and reliable, daily-use ready vanilla ROMs are developed. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to trash Sense until then, without root.

Sent from HTC G2
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
No buddy, it was not wrong. Read the OP. He said without rooting. And with absolute system all you can do is uninstall widgets. Sense is still there. The only true way to get rid of it is root and flash an aosp ROM....not deleting some widgets.
[General Questions and Answers] YouLaxy:
No idea where to post this so it ended up here :)

After deactivating my Facebook account and deleting the Facebook app from my Samsung Galaxy S2, all of contact pictures from my address book on the phone got replaced with generic silouhettes - all except those who have their profile pictures set up in Gmail, that is.

Is there any way to keep contact pictures that people use on their Facebook profiles in my phone's address book even after deactivating FB account/deleting the app?

Cheers!

I've recently rooted my Nexus S, and for some reason Jenga and Ringdroid became incompatible for me... What can I do about this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
- Unroot

- Try using a different rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
Try other apps that do the same thing.

sent from an HTC sensation on CM7 alpha #10
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] developersdevelopers:
Try OTA Rootkeeper by supercurio https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper

With this you can temporarily unroot. Try that out and see if those apps work afterwards.

Its possible that certain apps can detect root and as a result disable some functionality. I can't imagine why a Jenga app would have this though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
Make sure compatibility is checked for "older apps"

sent from an HTC sensation on CM7 alpha #10
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
Do I really have to? I don't feel like unrooting just to check it... :/

Also, this already happened on stock ROM with root.

What do you mean?

I've tried that doing the temporary unroot with that app, and it still doesn't show in the Market... Though I'm not sure if it really had effect. Is there any way to check besides the app itself telling me I have unrooted?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] developersdevelopers:
Just try to run an app that requires root to function. It if works normally, then you still have root. If to want to try a specific app, get Terminal Emulator and type "su" without the quotation marks. If you get '#' back then you have root.

Another thing to try is to search for your apps (Jenga etc) from the Web android market and install your apps from there http://market.android.com
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
Tried it just now, and it was indeed unrooted... And the apps still don't show up on the phone's Market, and on the Web version they show up but I can't install since they say they're incompatible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redplate:
Did you changed something else? Like the LCD Density? That could be a reason for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
No, I barely changed anything since this started happening... The earliest I remember noticing this was a bit after changing my kernel from the stock one to Eugene's.

I'm not sure if that is the cause of the problem... I can't remember if it happened after I rooted but before I changed the kernel (when I was completely stock with the exception of the root).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S.Mayer:
Perhaps your new ROM has a different build.prop that indicates incompatibility with certain apps.

You can try comparing your current build.prop with the build.prop from your backup.

It is possible that an app could try to detect that you have rooted, and refuse to run. However, I happen to have Jenga on my rooted Android tablet, so (unless it is terribly inconsistent at finding detecting it) that doesn't seem to be the case here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
The build.prop will have a few changes, but it will still have the same device properties.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisbiker2:
I had a similar problem- turned out to be permissions settings- the apps you are trying to load may require more permissions than you have set- I found by enabling them all, the prob was solved
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poipoi01:
If it dosen't appear in market then it is because you changed kernel
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
So after changing batteries this morning and booting up, all the Widgets (simi folder, days left, battery) just show problem loading and ADW keeps on crashing. Even running sense the Widgets show the same problem.

What could this be? Might be finally time to try a new ROM?
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I have that issue on ADW and Go both. All I do is restart the launcher.
[HTC Rezound] das0527:
I had the same problems with ADW EX. I eventually just gave up, uninstalled it, and gave Sense a test drive. I've been very pleased but do miss some of the functionality of ADW EX. I hope I can go back to it eventually.
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
So I went ahead and did a wipe and moved to CleanROM.

Went and started up ADW and restored the backup and the problem happened again. I went in there and had to manually delete and reposition every widget.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Currently: this is a tentative supporting thread for my aGPS patch. Assuming more report success, I will start officially supporting this device.

Please let me know your success rates. Thus far, a few people have sent me messages and emails stating that this patch works great on this device.

As such, I'm thinking it would be good to provide this officially for this device.

This has been used on over 40 devices successfully. I don't offer official support for all devices. Rather, I offer official support once users convince me to do so for that particular device. That happened here. ;)

Statistically, here is part of my post from mid-December on all official threads:

Enjoy!
[Wildfire Android Development] Scratch0805:
Very nice, was a little bit off whilst in the house(about 15ft) but just popped out for a smoke and got a lock on Google maps within 5 seconds and it was accurate to within a foot, before flashing this it took nearly a minute and was never where I actually was.

[Q] how do I see how many sats I'm connected to?

I'd just like to see a before and after as I'm curious about everything.
[Wildfire Android Development] B3!CrAZy:
try app GPS Status...there is count of sats you are connected to
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Glad it works for you.

Definitely, I only recommend GPS Status because it is the only App that I am 100% sure does not interfere at all with this patch. Plus, it gives you enough general info to know how your setup is performing.

Other info tools, including GPS Fix, just overwrite the patch with its own internal junk that isn't worth much. Then, I end up with users wanting me to help them without telling me this and a lot of time and effort is wasted only to find they did not read the Notes Section. :D
[Wildfire Android Development] B3!CrAZy:
i think it works for me too...17 sec to fix sats
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Let GPS Status run for about two minutes. Then, reboot and try again. It should get faster than that.

Glad it's helping you, though. 17 seconds, whew, I'd be going insane! :D
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
When using the ADB scrip without any pre-preparations it fails, because it doesn't set the /system folder to read/write.

Also the reboot option inside the ADB scrip doesn't reboot :P
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Odd. It still works with the device I have. I cannot guarantee it to work outside of my device for pushing. That's why I provide details for three methods of installation.

Personally, I typically use the flash method via recovery (CWR or EXT4 on my Inspire 4G).

Anyway, I'll see about updating that ADB offering but I'll have to solicit some others with different setups to make sure we're on par.

That aside, how did the patch work for you?
[Wildfire Android Development] Lesicnik1:
M

I must say that this works very well!

Took about 10 seconds from the install in GPS status for the GPS to lock on!

ROM: Cyanogenmod Nightly ErwinP build 1.

Update: I must say this is amazing. 3 second fix in the open.

4-5 second in a car (moving)
[Wildfire Android Development] heavy_metal_man:
about improved gps fix

i tested this out and here are my results. the speed increase is remarkable. when im outside lock on my location only took 2 seconds! doesnt work when im indoors but it nerver has here :P

my old lock on used to take between 10 and 20 seconds

this is amazing and thank you so muck :) =1 thanks lol

device specs.

htc buzz

cyanogenmod 7.10.1

hboot 0.80.0002

kernal 2.6.35.14-nFinity arcos :)

:cool:
[Wildfire Android Development] Alex_GP:
Just tried it on my phone, blazing fast, about 8 seconds with agps.

Great stuff! Flashed the generic Google one, just so you know.
[Wildfire Android Development] lemmoned:
Tried with Google Maps... Position found in 5 sec...

I took me more than 10 minutes before!

So what to say except nice one and many thanks for sharing that!!!

I just have some question as I am a complete noob with gps stuff :

Who is behind derekgordon?

Who is behind xtra3(/2).gpsonextra.net?

Is the 'xtra.bin' source code available somewhere?

(I've seen some informations are in the file gps.conf...)

Again, thank you
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Glad it's working for you. I own derekgordon.com and run the DNS NTP pool and the system that produces the xtra.bin for download.

The other source (gpsonextra.net) is Qualcomm-related and provides the xtra.bin to all devices using Qualcomm chipsets assuming they have the proper gps.conf configuration to obtain the data.

The source code is not available at this time.
[Wildfire Android Development] Scratch0805:
Ok, so I tested with and without earlier using gps status.

Without I found 2 sats and gave up waiting for a fix after about 7 minutes but with I found on and off between 8 and 12 sats and managed to get a fix on 9 of them in less than a minute, the first fix came within 10 seconds so once again thanks this is awesome, went out for a drive too, Google maps struggled a little when I nailed the throttle but caught up fast when I slowed down. For the first time since I got it, my wildfire can be used reliably as a navigation tool.
[Wildfire Android Development] Slymobi:
Mmmmmm interesting mate, regarding my earlier chat with you about this, I'm not sure I'm gonna need this cos I've been using my phone alot for sat nag recently and although the lock isn't as fast as you mention it never lags whilst driving(maybe I need a faster car lol) I will try ur suggestion of version anyway and see tomoz.

Edit: ok flashed Google specific cwm version successful, cwm 3.2.0.0 HTC wildfire running cm7#255/6 no lock indoors but will test outdoor tomoz. Normal lock time for me previous was around 15 seconds. Cheers.

"sent from me2u"

Edit2: ok not much difference on lock time for me. i did the gps status test and it was connected to 11 out of 12 sats found which i think is a good sign. i never tested before the flash so cant really compare. gonna keep this installed due to the possitive feedback from everyone and the report from gps status.

anyway thanks alot and i can also confirm cwm 2.5.0.7 google specific cm7 #255/6
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
All threads have had an overhaul that was way overdue.

High points:

Note discussion of what the patch does and what it replaces.

Note confirming ICS support from various users.

Note section has gotten long, but covers most questions I am repeatedly asked.

A total of 9 officially supported new devices.

Download section reminds people to backup their settings. You only need to backup /system/etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have one. But, I never had to revert!

That being said, welcome to official support. Thank you all who confirmed and worked with me to ensure it was proper to offer official support to this device.

As always, please don't forget to click Thanks if you use or like this patch -AND- don't forget to Rate the thread.

Donations

are always welcome.
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
My stats are similar to yours. I've also had a quick sign of major improvement by noticing that I'm now able to get a lock from the terrace (yep also been out for a smoke for testing LOL). Without the patch I had to move away from the house 3 or 4 mtrs. at least to get a lock. I even get a quick lock now from inside - at the window - woot.

Whilst driving it also had been ok for me before - most of the time at least - and as you probably know we still have roads without speed limits here :D

thx for that one - that's what I've been looking for a while ago without success...

For the record: Wildfire on CM7 nightly.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
I'm glad this is helping everyone with GPS on the Wildfire.

FYI: Method 1, the easiest of the methods for those unfamiliar with file managers or recovery, has been updated. Some people required that the script also mount the partition. I have added that line to all options available and updated the ZIP file. Thanks

enigmaamit

for confirming that the new PUSH script works.
[Wildfire Android Development] jasonfreeman:
This is most likely one of the best patches ever made for the Wildfire! :D

A truly thank you from Belgium! First time it took 20seconds to get a fix,

after that it took only 2-3 seconds, wherever I am. Awesome!
[Wildfire Android Development] apollopayne:
A big thank you! Took 3 secs if that. Totally stable as used nav to a hotel I'm staying at in Wales. The used method 3 and works great
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
just for completeness: I've used method 2 (/w ES File Explorer) as I'm not yet very familiar with adb :o...
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Glad you're having some luck.

Cool. And, all is working fine for you still right?
[Wildfire Android Development] eventcom:
I'd feel a bit ashamed if I would just say "works fine". GPS status told me that I'm locked on (to between 8 and 11 sats) just in seconds. Insane I'd say!

To me it looks like the manufacturers devs didn't do any of their homework LOL
[Wildfire Android Development] cceerrtt:
I was thinking whether your server & certificate is really necessary so I have updated the default gps.conf with the other setting from your conf file while keepeng the original values.

Seems to me that it did the job too (gps fix in 5 secs).

# boot into clockworkmod and mount /system as rw
adb shell mv /system/etc/gps.conf /system/etc/gps.conf.old
adb push gpd.conf /system/etc/gps.conf
adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/gps.conf
adb reboot

(or you can use esFileExplorer for this job)

I believe that the main reason for gps lock speed up might be enabling this feature properly (maybe original gps.conf doesn't do it right) or more benevolent accuracy thresholds (though I don't know the defaults).

Anyway, I don't want to lower your credits. Thanks a lot for bringing this topic.

My updated gps.conf attached.
[Wildfire Android Development] cceerrtt:
sorry, now attached.
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Basically you ripped the settings and remade my v2.2 as the first thread describes the difference.
[Wildfire Android Development] cceerrtt:
I see :-D :-D
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
No worries, but you may want to just use v2.2 since it is the same as what you modified my v3.1 to be that way you definitely didn't miss anything.

By the way, the order of the xtra servers are done to get away from the latency of an overloaded primary server from Qualcomm. That was the big winner for v2.2 because it did a localized form of load-balancing to help us out.
[Wildfire Android Development] B3!CrAZy:
little update...not working for splashmod .it works on cm
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Sounds like a bad ROM base... Does the ROM have any "GPS fixes" built-in?
[Wildfire Android Development] B3!CrAZy:
dont know if it does, but it gets sats faster than CM with your patch
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Again, sounds like it relates to the base. This patch is to help resolve issues with ROM's that don't assist and may even inhibit GPS depending...

If you're saying a ROM makes it work great, then there isn't any reason to use this patch.

I would be curious if the patch fails to work for that ROM you mention because it fails to process and fails to fallback to non-SSL SUPL. If you would delete /system/etc/suplrootcert after installing this patch, I'd appreciate it.
[Wildfire Android Development] B3!CrAZy:
ok i will try it for you but wait till i do a nandroid backup
[Wildfire Android Development] B3!CrAZy:
i just realized that this is it what gives me System fail right after start...and to your instruction - deleted that file and still doesnt work so fast as SplashMod rom itself...with splashmod i can get 3m accuracy and with your fix it is not better than 8m
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
This patch cannot give you system fail. There is no way. It replaces two files, a .conf and a certificate. Those are not part of the core system whatsoever.

There is another underlying cause, like a possible built-in gps tool, that would cause some sort of weird issue like a system fail.

I don't know what the ROM has in it, I don't have this phone to play with. If you get great accuracy, then stick with the ROM. Like the very top of this thread states, it's intended for users with problems.

GPS satellites, by their design, have a larger error layer built into the system. The fact that we can get past 10m error is a feat in and of itself.
[Wildfire Android Development] heavy_metal_man:

Pls guide me.. after seeing all the reviews I'm very curious to flash this patch..!!

Thnxx in adv.. :)
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Did you try manually copying the files? Or flashing in recovery? Which version have you tried?

For the push version have you installed the phones drivers at all?
[Wildfire Android Development] Shubham87:
I used the third method.. the one using recovery.. my CWM version is 3.xx.. I don't remember the exact version..

I read in the previous pages of this thread that someone else too had this problem while flashing this patch in SplashMod.. Is it that we cannot flash this patch in SplashMod..??!!

Pls help.. n also tell Pls lemme know the best patch for me.. I live in India..
[Wildfire Android Development] crypted:
Again, have you tried copying the files manually? There are three different installation methods described. If for some odd reason you cannot flash or have not setup your phone with Windows drivers, there is the other method to COPY the files manually. Do that.
