HTC Desire X and PDroid

Hi guys,

I think, it's not possible to use PDroid with ShadowDX since its Sense based and the AOSP inversion isn't build in and it's not "real AOSP".

So I think you'll have to use a from from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2059339 within the section AOSP Based and AOSP Themed - but it has to be based and not just themed. However, they all don't support

-Bluetooth

-GPS

-Video recorder

-Internal memory

-Wifi tethering

-USB tethering

Is this correct? Or am I missing/missunderstanding something?

[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Yeah there is a CM9 developed but like you said these are the bugs.

All others (AOKP, P.A.C, ParanoiAndroid) are ports, based on CM9.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
Thanks for verifying my assumptions, xpirt. So, I'll stay with the ShadowDX-ROM. Maybe the bugs will be fixed anytime... Nethertheless, you guys do a great job! ^^

LarissaJ
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Did you try the stock deodexed version by ckpv5? As stock deodexed ROMs are supported by PDroid, this should work as well. And there is a JB Version of it, so you should be able to use PDroid 2.0 or OpenPDroid. You can find the deodexed version in Android Development section.
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, OpenPDroid and PDroid2.0 need (at least) Android 4.1.2. However, the Desire X Roms are based on 4.1.1.

So the autopatcher created a zip file with PDroid and installed it. I didn't realize that the autopatcher also supports deodexed formats. (Btw.: It used the AOSP.) Next step: Install a PDroid Manager! I only found PDroid Privacy Protection for PDroid which doesn't support Android newer than 4.0.3. (sorry, but I'm not allowed to post the link to google play)

Using an ICS based ROM has to problems (afaik):

1. Downgrading is extremly difficult - except you find a working guide or the (easier) the ROM exceplitely supports hboot 1.25 (like ShadowDX)

2. Those are based on Android 4.0.4 and would lead to the same problem.

Do you know another PDroid Manager or an easy way to configure PDroid?

LarissaJ
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Ehmm all ROMs supports hboot 1.25.xxx just change mountpoints in updater-script.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Did you use the latest version (1.32) from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357056

It's the original thread. But it isn't supported anymore, so if it doesn't work, I assume it won't be possible at all

(all our deodexed ROMs are from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1)
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
Oh, that's all? I read some horror stories from people who tried that ... But if the problem is fixed that easy ...

I looked into updater-scripts but couldn't see the difference. So it's not that easy I guess. Anyway, I don't think I need that (in the near future).

I tried to use 1.18er deodexed ROMs from the Sense based section with autopatcher. But it had the same results as with ShadowDX...

Then I installed PDroid manager from your link (Android version is 4.1.1.). If I start it, it says: "Oops BAD News: Your Android version is not supported. GOOD News: Android 2.2, 2.3 and 4.0 should work".

Summary: PDroid only runs on Android 4.0.x (ICS). The ICS builds are either Sense based which cannot be patched (even if deodoxed) or AOSP based which are buggy (like no Wifi, Bluetooth).

Conclusion: Atm, the Desire X cannot run PDroid and its complete hardware.

Am I missing something?

If that's correct, I'll choose ICS + Sense (without PDroid).

Thanks for all your answers and your patient.

If you want to have an app to control permissions, try LBE Security Master... There is an english version available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422479

However, this one is just Google translated, so it may be terrible. I didn't try that one myself, as I use a german version (with better translation) also available here on xda. If you want, I can post you the link to it, too.
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
I already tried it. Blocking permission of apps often lead to crashing. In principle, I trust all my installed apps (and their developers) but you cannot be paranoid enough. ;)

So in general, I'm fine with the current solution!

Thx @ll

LarissaJ
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
For me, it does not lead into crashing. You just have to know what exactly you are doing when you are blocking special permissions.
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
You're right. I.e. my travelling adds reads the adresse book to use contact adresses as start or target point. Blocking this with LBE leads to a crash when clicking in the "search bar". (I guess that the app is poorly programmed but buying a ticket while sitting in the train can save sooo much time ...)

I'll try LBE as soon as I install an app using strange permissions!
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
What you can always block is the reading of phone id, that's what I'm doing. Also, you can scan your phone for malware and viruses.
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
K, I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
For the time being, you just need to wait for the bugs of CM 10.1 getting fixed and try again :good:
[HTC Desire X] LarissaJ:
Hi Dansou901,

in the meantime I installed LBE. It does a nice job (except for some apps). So you really confinced me.

However, I'm still looking forward vor CM fixes and pdroid. :D

LarissaJ
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Yeah, when CM 10.1 is fixed, we can make a version supporting PDroid. Would be a nice project for you, developing your first ROM...

P.S.: Which apps are causing problems in LBE? I didn't encouter that so far...
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
So now there is a sense based ROM from ckpv5 now with Android version 4.1.2. You could try the OpenPdroid patch on it and report back to ckpv5 if it works. I currently don't have time for this.
[HTC Desire X] ckpv5:
No..no... no need to report to me as I don't support 3rd party app.

Anyway I read all over XDA ... no support for Stock Sense Deodexed ROM.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
I used autopatcher on your ROM... and it run through successfully! So it remaines to be tested, which I will do shortly.
[HTC Desire X] navmad:
Share the results. :)

navmad
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
First testing with PDroid Manager from Google Play revealed that it is not working. :( So maybe it won't work at all.
[HTC Desire X] navmad:
That's bad. :(

navmad
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Yeah, so we'll have to wait for CM bugs to be fixed.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coveman:
Hey,

I have a S3 LTE and im looking for a way to open ports on my phones modem.

Let me explain, where I live we have shockingly bad internet service so more often than not I tether my computer to my phone either wirelessly or via USB. So far so good, problem is when I play games online (Black ops 2 PC in this instance) my NAT settings are set to strict and people cannot join my party. If I use my normal home connection my NAT setting goes to open and people can join.

So im looking for a way to open the ports required by BOPs2 so other players can join my party and play in a group but I cannot seem to find a way to do this. My phone is rooted and im currently running CM10.1 Official nightlies.

So now im left with two choices, use my home connection and suffer with constant disconnections and poor speed or use my phone and have my friends play with me but not on my team.

I have no problems playing game, everything works, its just people can't connect to me and play as a group.

I have googled this but to no avail so im hoping someone here would have a way to do this.

Many many thanks,

Scott.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Opening ports and forwarding ports are 2 different things.

Please advise what your home router settings are in regards to the specific ports you need. Also please advise what ports you need.

Where are NAT settings showing as "strict"?

When running the game on PC, what does android terminal emulator output say for "netstat" command on the specified ports?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coveman:
Thanks for the quick reply. When I use my home connection, I've just done it the lazy way and enabled DMZ.

I've tried using that app you suggested but I still have a strict NAT setting when using my phone.

The ports are (what Google is telling me)

Application: COD7BOPS External port: 3074 Internal port: 3074 Protocol: TCP/UDP

In addition, the following ports are required for Steam connections

Application: COD7OPS1 Port range: 27000 - 27030 Protocol: UDP

Application: COD7OPS2 Port range: 27014 - 27050 Protocol: TCP

The game itself tells you what your NAT setting is. Before I enabled DMZ my NAT while using my router was 'moderate' some of the time people could connect to me. Now I have DMZ on its changed to open and it works 100%

I haven't checked what the terminal is displaying but I'll do that when I get home.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Terminal may be important.

It may be your carrier rather than device blocking ports by the way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coveman:
I'll update this post once I get home and see what the terminal says. Yeah I know it could be my network supplier that's blocking it. I don't have a way to test that do I?

It's not a huge problem, it would just be nice too play with my friends in a party.

Rehardless, is what im asking possible anyways? Forwarding ports on the phones modem.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well the app apparently forwards ports. The port needs to be open for that to work though.

The only way to test if the port is open and if its the device or carrier, is by process of elimination. Lets see what netstat says first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coveman:
Great thanks for the help mate. I appreciate it.

I've been dealing with this problem as well, nevertheless with port 22, not related to gaming.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshygeek:
Hi guys, first off im a user of Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and swapped it to a 2nd hand HTC Desire HD. To make it short, i want to learn every single thing about this device as how i knew my beloved SGSL. I've read almost all guides for newbies and it helps me alot.

Just want to clarify these questions of mine.

1. What is RUU?

2. A little confused about hboot/fastboot. Cause in my past device there is only Recovery and Download mode wherein in Recovery you wipe cache/dalvikflash custom rom through zip and Download mode is needed when flashing stock rom using ODIN.

3. We use Odin in my SGSL in flashing stock roms. How about here?

4. Is there an internal to external SD swap here? So datas of games will go to external sd card?

5. I want my HTC HD in stock AGAIN. What should i check first before doing anything? After checking whats next?

6. Cant find a list of stock roms here? What do you guys use? the codename like DDLF2 XXKPQ like that.

I'm really sorry. I know you how i feel now, im feeling excited while making this thread at the same time nervous of negative comments and a feeling of unwelcomed in this community. Please bare with me, not a SO NOOB in android and i am a fast learner. Thanks and Godbless to everyone!

for ICS go to developer options->animation scale and change it to 1x...you'll get the CRT animation then!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] aladdin1001:
how the hell do you turn off the device, if i press the power button once the screen goes completely black and i cannot tap anything but i can still recieve calls and if i press any of the buttons it comes alive. if i press and continue pressing for two seconds, the screen simply dims and i can still tap on the screen?

so how do you switch it off?

and if you reset how do you prevent it from loading the T-Mobile customization?

Also, mine has a dead pixel and i have just opened it can i take it back as faulty? it's only one dead pixel but it's really really annoying...does it count as a fault. i'm gonna try and take mine back tomorrow

Well, when i do that the screen goes blank but i can still recieve calls and if i press any of the buttons it goes back on again!!!!!!!!!!!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
To totaly turn off the device you need to slide the battery lock button out and then back in. It is the only way I have found to totaly turn the device off.

To lock the keys go into "settings" then "system" and choose "button lock" then choose "Lock all buttons except power button".

this is not a phone, this is a pdaphone, it works like a pda... if you want tu turn off the phone, you can use the flight mode.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
I dont think it has anyhting to do with PDA. I have had 3 PDA's before. All of them had an "off" button that turned the thing off. Ditto for phones. So this is just Microsoft's strange decision. Dont make the guy feel back just because he is thinking logically - and they are not.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jwhitham:
I've had quite a few PDAs over the years:- Casio E80? Psion 3, 3a, 3c, 5, 5mx, iPaq 3630, XDAI, XDAII, MDA Compact.

None of them have ever had an off button. They turn off the screen and may even slow the processor or put it in sleep mode. But they all kept their memory powered up and clock / alarms / appointments alive at all times.

This may change in the future as flash ram is now fast enough that you could actually run stuff from it so you could truly kill power (apart from clock and wakeup stuff) without emptying your memory.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
My old Visor Edge, Palm Tungsten T, T2 and TE all had off buttons. I dont know of any electronic device where anyone should expect that the "off" botton doesn't turn it off.

If that button on Windows Mobile devices is a "sleep" button, then they should mark it with a "sleep" symbol, rather than the intl symbol for "power", which is what they have on there - and which is what confuses people.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
So, if your Palm completely powered down when you pressed this magic "off" button, how come the alarms still worked? How come it woke up when you pressed any of the four application buttons or tapped the screen? How come your data was still kept in RAM?

More wisdom from the skagen...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] skagen:
My Nokia 6100 has an off button and it works. Doesn't stop my alarms from waking me up. So did my SE T610 before that

Everybody here has had a cell phone before. The all have "off" buttons that turn the device off. Only Microsoft, in its infinite stupidity, has decided to have a an "off" button that should in fact be labelled "sleep".

You are the one with no clue.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bamse:
If you press the "off" button on your N 6100 or SE T610 you are right in that they would really be off. You can not receive a call, any alarms will not sound until you turn the phone on again and so on.

But this is not so for most PDA:s on the market.

Most PDA:s will go into some kind of sleep mode when you press the "off" button. And mostly it is not even a true sleep mode, a lot of processes are still running, and even network connections can be kept active. This is also the way most PDA users would want their PDA to work. Also, the way most PDA:s are built, a power down means resetting everything back to defaults and thereby loosing all of your data and third party applications. This could be cured by using non volatile RAM for all of the memory, but I guess there is probably a good reason why this is not normally done.

Actually, on most modern computers a short tap on the power button will put them in suspend mode and holding it for more than two seconds will turn them off. So the only thing that is really strange with the PDA is that a long press on the button will not even put it in sleep mode but only shut off power to the display. And as I actually don't know anyone that has ever used that worthless function I think they should probably replace it with a "real" sleep mode, where all of the hardware is actually shut off except for support voltage to keep the memory "alive".
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
On N 6100 ,and on all nokia phones, the clock alarm wake's up the phone... You then have a choice of whether to activate the phone or not...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Same with all the Siemens phones I owned ( 4 so far). When shutting off the phone, the clock and alarms keep working. The only thing that does not work, off course, is the radio so incoming calls are diverted to voice mail. But with the phone off, the alarms still wake me up!

It would indeed be a good idea if using the power button on any type of XDA would turn the device really off, using power only for keeping the clock working and the data stored...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bamse:
If the alarms jeep working on your phone when in "off" mode it is not actually off but in a low power mode with the phone functions turned off. So what you are really asking for is that the power button should turn off the phone but keep the pda running. This seems quite useless to me. Exactly how often are you in such a hurry to turn off the phone?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Yes, the device is in sleep mode, but it is a very deep sleep indeed, since it uses close to zero power. When I put my Compact in sleep mode, running programs will not shut down but will stay running, the Today screen is still running and the same goes for the phone radio and GPRS. This means that the battery drains much quicker. So in order to save power, I have to turn off the radio (flight mode), kill running apps and then put the device to sleep with the power button. Seems like rather a hassle, doesn't it, compared to a normal phone? So I don't mean for the PDA to keep running ful operations, but rather to power down to a level where it only uses a little power to keep the storage working. And when waking up, I don't need to see the Today right away, a few seconds loading the screen like on a normal phone is worth the power save to me.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
This guy is unbelievable. You were claiming that your Palm turned completely off when you hit the off button - not a cellphone, jerk.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
Wrong - programs that can be _are_ suspended when you put the PDA into standby. Try it with MediaPlayer.

How do you know the Today screen is still running? Like you know the fridge light really stays on when you shut the door?

Wouldn't you be complaining more (because of the missed calls) if turning the PDA off to save the battery also killed the phone?

Most of us can get our heads round this - the Standby button on the side controls the PDA. The Flight mode controls the phone. Not exactly difficult, is it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] :
Oh skagen, how ignorant you are. Seems you cannot understand pictures, let alone words.

The label on the Jam "off" button is a line through a broken circle, which is the IEC symbol for STANDBY, not POWER OFF. Just like on all other PDAs, and your TV remote control.

See

http://eetd.lbl.gov/Controls/overview/symbols1.pdf

Now look again at all your "phones" which completely shut down when you press the "power" button. What symbol do they have?

Seeing as you obviously have so much difficulty telling the difference between a cellphone and a Palm, a phone and a PocketPC, or a power switch from a standby button, here's another teaser for you.

1. How do cellphones manage to keep their memory when they are turned off or the battery is removed?

2. What is the difference between the memory in cellphone and that in most PDAs?

3. Why do most PDAs have Standby (Soft Off) and not Power (Hard Off) buttons?
