Hi friend

i found this

http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/downloads/detail?name=MacDroidNotifier-0.2.6.dmg&can=2&q=

its very nice
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Freon35:
What is it??

It says Android Notifier - what does it notify???

Edit:

Found the explanation :)

"This project sends notifications to a desktop computer when certain events happen on an Android device, such as the phone ringing, an SMS being received, or the battery running low. The notifications can be sent over Wifi, Bluetooth, or (in the future) USB.

It runs as a service on android, consuming little resources while no events are happening, and the desktop application notifies the user about the event in some way (Growl on Mac, Gnome dbus notifications on Linux, Growl for Windows or System tray alert on Windows), including information such as the number that's calling.

This is useful for people (like the developer) who wear noise-cancelling headphones, keep their cell phone in their bags, or don't want to be interrupted to look at a vibrating cell phone in a meeting.

There are currently two different desktop applications - one called MacDroidNotifier for MacOS X, and another called android-notifier-desktop/MultiDroidNotifier which works on all operating systems. The former is in the process of being deprecated, so please download the later."

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mike Jo:
ICS 4.04 works quite good.

Hello to community. I have installed the rom Cyanogenmod 9 by DroiNex (CM9-U8120-U4-signed.zip) and (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip) in my U8120 and works quite well I think. The bugs I found are:

the radio and the record in camera

a drain in battery. Maybe is caused by a specific app I don't know.

the Apex launcher can't be updated. The update gives me a message about a wrong signature and suggests to uninstall the the previous copy first and then try again. I don't know how to do this.

Does anyone know if we will have an update for this rom? The thread of the rom is quite miss understandable for me.

Can I stop the drain of the battery?

Any help about the bugs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ainster:
Thet thread are one of hardest to understand even with google translator :D

By the way about bugs radio and camrecord bug can fix only developer ( But this bug is for all 4.0 rom's) For battery try to charge to 100% then go in to recovery wipe battery stats and fully discharge phone then charge again to 100 and should fix thet probliem for apex launcher try to download link2sd program its free in market then download another launcher ( launcher pro or someting like thet ) then go to link 2 sd and unistall apex launcher then download newest or pro version and install. About updates i don't think so 4.0 android are hard to develop on low end device . Thets all man .:good:

Hello, i have a Sensation with InsertCoin 5.3.0 and i would get the old keyboard, so badneewz writes:

but when i but the HTC_IME.apk in the /system/app Folder with ES-File-Explorer, the Explorer say's Can't Overwrite the File, i try to Delete the old File but it doesn't work.

How can i fix it?
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
You have to mount it as RW before you can do that. If ES can't do that, then open a terminal and run:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /system
[HTC Sensation] Berkelgraf:
Where must mount it? on my pc ?

the Terminal in Windows said, der Command doesn't exist
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Nooo, a terminal app on the phone, like this

Probably need to su before the command, thinking about it.
[HTC Sensation] Berkelgraf:
How can i put the app to the allowed apps ?

the Terminal say: mount: you must be root

but the app didn't send a request to SU...
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
As I said above, type su before the mount command.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You can absolutely use ES file explorer to make system partition r/w

Go to ES -menu soft button-settings-root settings-check both "root explorer" and "mount file system" that will give you r/w for system

Official ICS OTA release on Taiwan!!!

OTA FROM 1.24.709.2 TO 2.28.709.1

SENSE 3.6

================

update at Apr 20th

with old version of HBOOT,there're many bugs such as wifi and launcher etc

with new HBOOT,those bugs above are gone but you cann't use 3rd-party recovery like CWM right now.

that means you can not even root it.

I think even you can make Recovery work,there are no way to downgrade your firmware from ICS to GB because of the new HBOOT

So I decided to install the Supernova ROM, latest version (2.4.0.1) following the instructions here.

This has been with great success.

However, I noticed that this ROM should include kernel version 2.6.35.14, but it 's not. My phone reports:

2.6.35.10_basekernel-gfb1198d-dirty droidzone@shell-21003 #18 Thu Feb 2 10:50:39 UTC 2012.

I upgraded from the official gingerbread ROM using following steps:

- S-offed phone with Revolutionary

- hboot 2.01 & Amon-Ra 2.0.1 Recovery

- Installed Supernova extreme following Droidzone's excellent instructions.

Is this an intentional downgrade and why?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
Heya mates,

I'm quite happy with my Captivate Glide, but there's one thing that really annoys me.

The compass on the phone is really bad, it can tell me the vague direction, but it is not a bit compareable to my old HTC Dream.

This inaccuracy is especially noticeable when using Apps like Google Sky Map.

Did anyone else notice these problems too, or do I have just a bad magnet sensor in my phone?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Same here. Infuriating, because it means Samsung either didn't bother to test it, or tested it and said "screw it, let the customer deal with it."

In my maps app, I noticed the compass is actually off 90 degrees clockwise. If you turn the phone counterclockwise with the keyboard closed, the power-button side of the phone points the right direction (forward).
