Tried to fix sym, shortcuts and ? keys, with no luck...

Tried to apply http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1659080

Doesn't work..

The curious is the keymap seems to be correct:

keycode, key

183 , SYM

184 , shortcut1

185 , shortcut2

214 , ? (mapped as button_r2)

?+FN continue to report ')'. Should be '"' as in the vision-keypad-wwe.kcm file. I changed it to \u0022 (UTF for ", but doens't work too)

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

Edit (FIXED)

As my desire z is from singapore (is equal all desire z, the keymap is the same... but..), I changed the file vision-keypad-sea.kcm, editing the lines:

key BUTTON_R2 {
label:'?'
base:'?'
shift, capslock:'?'
alt: '"'
shift+alt: '"'

The alt was with ( and not "

Then, I think is a good Idea revise the ? key for the vision-keypad-sea.kcm and vision-keypad-hk.kcm , changing alt commands from ( to " for ? key.

Also, I changed the keys 183-SYM, 184-shortcut1 and 185-shortcut2 on vision-keypad-sea.kl to use the same keys as in the mod on the topic commented above. The ALT-Left (key 56) I left as ALT.

Another but that I observed on my phone.

Long press volume to change track not working like it should. If you press short, it should cchange volume, but its not changing but changing track... so volume trask change is useless.

Another thing when you switch betwean tracks, it tooks over 2sec. Before one track end and next will be played there is ~2sec of silence.

Thnx.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
typing with the physical keyboard in chrome. it was not allowing me to use the function key.

I was trying to press function + y to get the number 7 digit, and it just wasn't doing anything. :-/

Yeah I have duplicated the same issue a few times already..

UPDATE>>> I did a nandroid backup, followed by a superwipe. Wiped the dalvic cache and then restored the nandroid and my GPS is working great. Fixed on all satellites in seconds...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I made a workaround for this issue. It's something that has been happening since CM7. Download Turbo GPS from the market and check to see if you can view NMEA strings. If you are not getting any values then you can change radios and update the radio and GPS drivers.

Google Play Lock up on search

Boot to recovery, full wipe, Install the rom then gapps, then rebooted.

Open Play to install gmail and that works fine

Click the search button to find Google Maps to install next and it just locks up. Have to pull battery.

Same result if I install the rom then boot. then reboot to recovery again and install gapps.

So I've looked around and only found 2 references to this issue neither with an answer. 1 guy tried installing a new keyboard (from a .apk file on this sd i guess) and that made no difference.

This ROM seems to work in every other way so I'm hoping the above can be fixed.

it seems to be all programs that have the ability to show a "suggest" bar or a drop down menu from the search bar.

The funniest thing is that it happened to me yesterday. I was searching for google maps somewhere in the middle of an area I was not familiar with, so I could get GPS lock and find my way... but the thing locked up. Same program, same scenario.

I am planning to flash this on my DZ, however, i have seen a problem of AOKP ROMs in HTC Sensation as users reported that formating SD card in AOKP builds bricks the phones permenantly, because of a bug, it actually formats emmc/nand partition, this is the only thing which is making me afraid..if OP or anyone else tested this and knows it isn't the case..please reply..as this obviously is a serious issue..not only Sensation, this bug exist in AOKP source i guess? Correct me if i am wrong.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Careless_:
lots of issues with on screen keyboard not coming up at all when the hardware keyboard is not open.

I mean, it's really no big deal because I'll just use the hardware keyboard, but then sometimes the Function key doesn't do a damn thing, so there are some characters I just cannot enter from time to time.

:-/ makes searching and logging in to some services quite the ordeal. lol.

still a great and snappy rom though. can't wait to see it get better. loving that the camera works nearly mint.

had some issues uploading images to facebook though. had to try 3 or 4 times before it was successful. I think once the image fails, it is still hung up on that image, so it can't upload any new ones. Not sure if this is a facebook issue.. but it most likely is. I'm mentioning it anyway incase others have similar issues with other apps.

OH, and System UI has a tendency to Force Close from time to time. Not sure why.

@adam...

i found out that no matter i disable the screen rotation or not it will still rotate...

weird... and also some small glitches on the homescreen as words will blur or distorted some times.. restart will fix it though...

please fix the screen rotation... it helps me to save more battery, even though not significant but it helps...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:

Which version of rom do you use?

Did you do wipe/s?

Where did you disable screen rotation? [toggle, settings menu]

And if you can - attach logcat, because it is working for me on latest (May 23) version.

i'm using the build 35... i did not updated to version 36 yet as you say u will update it again in a while because of some bugs...

i use toggle switch at drop down menu... seems like it does not response to any toggle for rotation... need help...

it is nice if you can help to put a toggle switch for Wifi Tethering on the drop down menu too...

BTW how to get the logcat??? newbie here about troubleshooting... sorry bro...

thanks for your ROM...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
He has already updated build 36. This is the second version of build 36. So it would be best to update because he has already fixed some bugs
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
There is no such problems (rotation / there is added WiFi Tether toggle - see changelog in OP) in latest build from yesterday, so if it is important for you can update your rom to build 36, but remember to reflash GApps.

Logcat:

You can download from Google Play app which is called OS Monitor. There is a tab (in OS Monitor) - Message and it is showing dmesg (kernel messages) as default. So you need to change it to logcat in Settings - View Log. Then just open Messages tab, click on menu and choose Export log.

Little bug

Hello again.

Excuse my English.

Bug detected! I don´t know if it happends to someone else but camera works really fine with the stock app, but doesn´t work at all with other camera apps like instagram, cymera or nemus camera.

I had detected something strange, for example with cymera: when app starts all works fine except no live image view, only black, but all controls of app are ok, then push power button for a while (for take a screenshot), then push back button and I got live view and then app works fine at all.

Thats all, I have the last version of the rom, in other way I thing wifi on/off is more quick that I have ever seen.

Congrats!!!

Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Camera is in most cases working with stock app, but there is no warranty that it will work with other. It is still WIP.

Even though it's an exercise in futility with a screen this size lol, any tablet/hybrid UI work yet?

Also, AOKP for the SGS has something called JPEG Turbo, some kind of better compression algorithm that helps images appear quicker, is this in base AOKP?

And one more question while b37 continues to d/l, do you use any build.prop tweaks?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sgtkid12:
Op, you should make this a flashable zip if you can. It also looks very basic and its a good lock screen to show off your wallpaper

TabletUI - sorry, but I haven't work on it yet. Guides for that mod are not in english, so it is hard to decode what author had in mind ;) But when I will have more free time I'll try to implement it.

Yeah, JPEG Turbo is a part of AOKP.

Build.prop - there is no custom tweaks, just max_events_per_sec.

for some reason on b36 after a fresh install, i can't seem to get the FN key on the qwerty working. I remember mentioning it before but i figured it might be a chrome issue.

anyone experience the same thing when typing into address bar or in google?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iDAREK:
FN key is working evn in b36, but you need to hold it when selecting proper key. This should be changed in this rom. FN key should work like shift key on pres not hold.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
It is strange, 'cuz I have no problem with FN key, even in Chrome. Maybe there is some mess in keyboard character map, I'll look on it later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] iDAREK:
Yes, because on b37 is working like it should.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PureLoneWolf:
I had this too. I updated from b36 to the b37 and when I tried to access Googlemail or the Play Store, they launch and close immediately (no message)

I upgraded as follows:

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik

Flash new version

I cleared data and it worked for a while, then it starts again. I had to restore to b36 as it is the Girlfriends phone.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] johrie:
I have had the same problems as you had with doing only cache and dalvik. So i did a full wipe, but still having play store issues. Seems to be working now but you never know when it pops up again :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] adamz667:
Which Google Play version? And please attach logcat because I'm not wizard and I don't have sixth sense ;)

Well lets assume your android device has been stolen! Good lord !!:eek: . Not to worry, this guide should hopefully help you recover it. Even if its a thief. :cool:

PS: This contents of this read may bear resemblance to the reddit thread i created

A about two weeks ago (17th April to be exact) one of my friend lost his Samsung GT-I9003 from his dorm room at 0200hrs. Today when i was scanning my latitude, i saw him position a few hundred meters from me. Problem is, we are on a university campus. 500+ students, staff, kitchen, cleaning - basically lot of people. I suggested we check Google Latitiude's location history and sure enough for the past 15 days, the phone's location is spread all over the campus.

Premise of the crime

The phone is ON and is connecting to the Wi-Fi.

The phone is still tied to the primary gmail account and is thus reporting location.

The SIM has been removed or changed since the original number is now switched off

The person does not have good knowledge of using a smart phone (maybe helping staff)

Steps we have taken

Since we assume it is in the possession of either a student or helping staff we don't want to startle him.

Tried Plan-B on my phone. However the location it was reporting was the same as Google Latitude.

The phone does have Where is my Droid installed but the web interface says invalid email ID. So that option is ruled out unless you have pre configured Where is my Droid previously.

How we found the phone

After Where is my Droid failed us, we started looking for other applications. We found this application called Android Lost. Unfortunately we hit a dead end when we realised that it needs to be activated by sending an SMS. Since we dont know the phone number, or that there is even any SIM card in the phone, that application also seemed useless.But turns out the developer of Android Lost has also made a nifty app called AndroidLost Jumpstart which is can trigger Android Lost without the need of an SMS.

According to the description

So we got android lost installed. Trust me, its a life saver. We got calls logs, sms, pictures, voice recordings. We tracked the person with the help of this.

Hope this helps anyone in the future!

Hi everyone. I have recently been the victim of theft for my nexus 7. I had the device locked with the pattern so there is no way that the thief could get into it unless they do a software reset from the recovery mode. The thing is, either way there is no way i would be able to recover it because if in fact they do a factory reset my lookout security would be uninstalled and my nexus would be lost forever, also if they can't get through the pattern and find a way to connect to Wi-Fi, it will still be lost forever. I have read about installing lookout in the system/app folder of a rooted device so its not easily uninstalled by normal means or factory reset. But do you think it is possible to have android lost and lookout pre-configured and installed in the system/app folder so that even if the device is factory reset, the credentials will remain?

is it factory-reset proof?

Losing a phone is irritating

I lost my phone sometime back. I didn't have the time to do research and maybe these apps weren't available at the time of theft. I got the SIM de-activated and tried to track my phone via IMEI number.

So, a few questions

1. Have they changed its IMEI number ?

2. Have they removed my Google account ?

This pretty much messes it up. If you can't track it via IMEI nor can you use any network then its as good as history. These were the only remaining identification tags that could have got your phone back and the thief would know of it. The moment I called on my own number he switched it off. He logged into my account and posted crap(not that I knew any of it had it not been for my friend who reported some strange FB and Twitter status) as if it wasn't enough that he had my phone.

One of the most disturbing things that they can do is play with the IMEI. Older phones were more susceptible to that kind of thing but a Nexus ? P990 ? GT19100? I thought they were much harder to hack. Not only can you NOT track your phone but also lose all other alternatives because the phone is now linked to another google account. I was searching for a post that would walk me through a process of changing the google account currently associated with the phone. In an attempt to understand if this indeed was the case. I wanted to try this app so badly but now I blew it off, my only chance.

Hardware based identification is the only way to go about fixing this issue. Any low level process that runs off some hard coded tag independent of software control known only to the owner of the phone. I just don't know what other options are left with person who lost it. I think there is no other way.

Time for a new phone, I guess :D

Edit: I guess I was right about that. They had done a hard reset but the IMEI associated with my account is intact. So there are two ways of messing it up. One, you change the IMEI(which sounds ridiculously dumb). Second, you change the primary account(more believable). How stupid of me to think of the first one :eek:
[Android General] Syed.Zeshan:
i think if a android phone is lost and a guy with a bit knowledge of flashin roms gets it then we might have to forget our phone.. if the phone has screen lock the guy can reset the phone through stock recovery and all security apps like where's my droid,avast etc get wiped off.. i personally don't install any anti-theft apps. i beleive in being EXTRA CAREFUL than installing any anti theft apps
