[Windows 8 General] sy573mx:
I have an idea however stupid it may sound its still an idea worth mentioning.....

PLEASE NOTE: I would prefer to not have a start button at all as I have gotten used to using rainmeter... So I DON'T have an issue with the win 8 desktop mode with no menu. !!

I know The Win 8 DP is probably miles apart from Win 8 RTM but How different is it actually ?

Say I install RTM & DP on virtual machines and just take a basic look at the files... (not that I'll know what to look for)

What if I copy a few of the DP files over to RTM ie: system 32, would it still boot ?? I'll give it a try and probably fail......

My idea is to re-enable the registry "hack" that allows you to bypass metro or whatever it is now called or use a 3rd party hack that disabled metro... a different hack worked in CP if I recall correctly.

I know it sounds stupid as Windows might say the files are corrupt or something along those lines....

I know Win 8 has just been born (the final release version for retail that is, well almost) so it will take time for a way to disable it all together... And I mean all together (my version is no metro or charms or any such features at all. For an example the network icon in the superbar/taskbar has a metro menu no thanks..)

Why not have the metro (all of it) be a optional install as part of the add remove features box so if you want the benefits of Win 8 with the look of Win 7 then you can if you want all of Win 8 then you can do so too.

I am glad to stay on Win 7 for now, don't get me wrong an don't tell me to stay there if I don't like metro.

I just gave a suggestion

Below is for Win 7 but there isn't a Win 7 page.

I would like a way to completely disable the start menu in Win 7 though as I still like to use the win button for shortcuts so disabling the win shortcuts does not work for me unless there is a way to disable the opening of the start menu with the win key but still be able to use the win key for other shortcuts such as Win + D or Win + E.

I guess I can get used to not using them if I pin the icons to the taskbar....

Maybe someone with the know how could port the Win 8 desktop/file explorer experience that has a lack of a start button built in but that will probably be part of the win 8 core with my luck

When there is a hack for Win 8 I'll go to that

*sigh* it's a great deal unless they've been refurbished with 2.20.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iraqmilner:
That's true. It's a shot in the dark as to which version you'll receive. I purchased my One X a few weeks ago (new) and I received it with 4.0.3 and was able to root and unlock the bootloader.

Best of luck folks :)

My refurb that came yest came with the old update. so im sure most are not on 2.20 yet.. but i paid 49.99 for my refurb. but got att to lower it cause the next day it went to 19 bucks lol all in all even stock this phone rocks. but keeping my galaxy nexus though for tinkering.. as the one x will be my work/personal line.. etc

Hey guys, I'm trying to jump on this deal but for some reason I cant get it to work. I click add to cart on the site, and click upgrade. When I choose upgrade eligibility it takes me to the AT&T premier website where they don't offer the HOX refurbished... Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I really need to upgrade from my Infuse 4g xD

I know it's not really on topic for this discussion, but the value of my HOX is dropping like a stone thanks to moves like this.

Make no mistake about it, the HOX is a great phone, and ATT will do about anything to make users switch to LTE. At $20 for an upgrade its a steal.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djudjix:
Is there any (by all possible means ANY) way to enable USB debugging ON other than turning it on from menu.

This is situation, I got my self a SGS I9000 (had it earlier, now I am proud owner of Galaxy Note) for a bargain (30 €), thing is it is broken. It has fallen on the floor and now there is no image on the screen (touch is not active and sensitive, but soft buttons are sensitive to touch). I know one thing for sure, the phone can be turned on and can use sim card (someone can call me on the phone and I hear the ringing, so I know that phone works only I can't see anything on the screen or interact with it). The corning gorilla glass is not broken, but yet there is no light on the S-AMOLED. I have also opened the phone and all connectors are on the place (please don't tell me it will void my warranty, I wouldn't want it any other way). I figured it to be only a screen replacement fix, but until I have the money for new screen I want to do next thing:

1. Somehow to enable USB Debugging mode

2. To install things through ADB (but I need Debugging mode for that)

3. To put some application (there are many) to stream (screen streaming) what ever is on my phone to pc, so I can control it over pc (ubuntu linux).

Does someone know of some method for enabling USB Debugging in this situation?

I thought of some solutions but I don't know are they applicable at all:

1. Some script that can enable usb debugging when put on SD card

2. Somehow to turn it on with adb or over usb cable
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cologne83:
I think the only way to turn USB deb- mode on/off is via menu. There seems no widget like f. E. For 2g/3g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesInsights:
Am using AndroidRevolution HD and PopcornKernel for the maximum battery life.

I am using agressiveX governor.. its basically conservative with tweaks and hotplugging

At first I used franco's updater app to change my cpu min and max.. this app did not have a scheduler option but when i used SetCPU i chose deadline.. my batt life became a bit shorter.

I had 300+ min and 700+max. Was running smoothly and got about 6h on screen time thanks to both the rom and kernel being built for batt life and the conservative-like governer.

So basically i have 2 questions:

Which scheduler do I use to maximize battery life and Why is it when my device is off screen it runs out of batt so fast.. could it be due to hotplugging or the low cpu speed i have?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
What are your battery stats like while the screen is off? If the phone is being held awake, you have an app that is constantly waking the phone up. Next charge cycle, provide a screenshot. I don't know just how much different schedulers help in terms of battery. I've hopped between noop and deadline and never really noticed a difference. Best bet would be to try each one. YMMV because my usage pattern may not match yours.

In addition to Papa's reply, I think you should have wiped more than just data and cache.

I dont run cm10 but wipe what the op says, or wipe all except sd card, then flash, but follow op for the rom.

You may want to try

-Install .zip from SDcard

-Fix Permissions

-Re-Boot system

That has fixed plenty of my broken Roms

[General Questions and Answers] aquaars:
Yes, I've already searched the forums. I know there is a guide on here from a developer, but that doesn't leave as much open-endedness as I would like. I'm looking to learn to develop games and applications for the Android OS. I've spent the past week learning Java so that I could learn to develop for Android, but it seems to me that is only the tip of the ice berg. The question I have for you guys is how do I go about learning this stuff? I'm sure most of it is trial and error, but hell what can I try if I don't know where to start?

I know you guys probably get this type of question all the time, but I'm not wanting to take the easy "can you basically code it for me route?". I really want to make the game I have in mind and it's fleshed itself a bit more since I actually learned the backbone of the stuff as well. I've seen The New Boston stuff, but that guy doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. He calls > the less than sign and vice versa. :\
[General Questions and Answers] HelectronSoft:
if you are e developer , to learn java (at least the basics) is the step no 1 , and its not so hard

if you have no idea what programming means , then you sould spend time to have some general knowledge about programming.

then you sould try to understand android platform , read general info , read sdk documentation , read about the structure of an android app , and

play a litle with Eclipse. you can find everything on the net. tutorials , code , how to etc.
[General Questions and Answers] BlazinDroid5280:
Start doing tutorials, that's what I'm doing.

Check YouTube for beginning Android programming and stuff like that. Eclipse has some good tutorials as well
[General Questions and Answers] tjdwowh:
I think you are referring to my guide. You say it "doesn't leave as much open-endedness as [you] would like." What do you mean by that?

The guide is first and foremost written for beginners.. if you have suggestions on how I can improve it, let me know :D

And I wouldn't call learning "trial and error." It's more of practice and understanding.

You are right in saying "What could I possibly try if you don't know where to start?"

Following a structured series of tutorials at first will start you off on a strong foot.

USSD Codes - Error in the character entry!

Hello XDA community!

I have a Samsung Nexus S i9020a with Android Jelly Bean 4.1.

I have a problem with USSD Codes, y'know. My service provider through USSD Services asks me a field of just numbers, but to introduce them gives me an error that only allow numeric characters. I've tried several of this type sevicios and the error occurs when you enter more than one numeric character, my understanding is that the system is sending illegal characters in the request for my service provider. I researched and found someone with the same problem, he says he just happened to upgrade to Android 4.0 ICS, possession earlier version 2.3.4.

How do I report or repair this problem? :(

So I called Asurion payed my deductible and was all excited until I received my new device. IT WAS HORRIBLE. there was a pin size peace of glass missing on the right hand side there was scratches all along the bottom like had been rubbed with sand paper, and to top it off the screen was purple and had scratches everywhere. So there sending me a new one. I love how they have a 68 point inspection approved stamp on the side of the box. ASURION SUCKS!!!!!!!!

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
No. HTC changed their security measures to where it's a one-time use password every time. If you are re-using an old token, you won't be able to unlock when it becomes available again. Every single day when I check HTCDev, I get a new token, have to copy that, and enter it on their site.

well, dragon i think he's refering to the token you get in your e-mail, for the final command line, needless to say they don't work, i've tried
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
Yes, I know that's what he's referring to. It's a one-time challenge with a one-time answer. The specific token it chooses when you go to Fastboot requires a specific response or it won't work, that's why it didn't work when you tried other people's tokens.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
right,that's it

i just thought of something, one of the guys that got unlocked said he used the incredible tab, can't remember who it was, but the incredible selection needed an hboot update to proceed, wonder how he did that, unless he typo'd,and meant inc2, i don't know.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Frankly, it doesn't matter which one you choose. Really all the "choosing" does is warn you to update "yada yada yada" before proceeding. It still takes you to the very same screen to enter your token.
