install on/from ext2

not sure...I'll looks into this. I had my apps and data on my sd however, it seemed a little buggy and inconsistant. It may have been due to using original G1 1gb class 2 card.

-let me know if you find out first.

nevermind..........used astro file manager and it worked fine
[G1 Android Development] MikeMadden:
help

what's 'cd' ? the emulator is already installed on the phone ?

i'm trying to install an app but i don't understand the adb method. someone can help me ?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
cd is a command, meaning "change directory". Which is used to move your location on the system.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
cd is a *nix command , it is short for 'change directory' and it... changes directory

it depends on what the app is

your best bet would be to get an app called 'Astro file manager' from the market

Its quite easy, so I won't go into further detail

Which to be honest is a fair trade :P
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Some people have mentioned the `install' command from BusyBox, but this won't quite do what you probably want. To invoke the full Android package installation experience--the complete equivalent of `adb install'--you're looking for `pm install'. It takes the same arguments that `adb install' does, checks signatures, creates the appropriate user accounts, etc. so the package is installed the Android way. You can also use `pm uninstall' to remove a package (and as with `adb install', the "-k" option keeps its data around).

The `am' and `pm' commands are both underdocumented, but can be terribly useful. `am' can issue arbitrary Intents, including some Extra values. `pm' has other features not mentioned here, but which are shown in the help text.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
'pm install' often fails with [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

which used to frustrate me no end ..

simple shell script

am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -t application/vnd.android.package-archive -d file://$1

just pass the full path e.g

sh /sdcard/installapk.sh /sdcard/theapp.apk

and it pops up the Android Package installer
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Interesting. I wonder if that's related to A2SD or a particular implementation, and pm getting confused as a result? Still, I like the idea of sending the VIEW intent to bring up the package installer. Good snippet.
[G1 Android Development] evilkorn:
I just cp the files to /system/sd/app/
[G1 Android Development] Nayyak:
from Windows Command prompt, and after switching to the folder containing the .apk file, type:

adb install filename.apk

if it is a reinstall:

adb install -r filename.apk

you could also push the file to the app folder. I use this method to push system apk:

adb remount <<<< you have to remount since you're going to mess with a sys folder

adb push filename.apk /system/app
[G1 Android Development] aussiebum:
seriously useful thread... especially after for some weird reason certain apps fail to install using the default Android installer. *cough* Radiant *cough*
[G1 Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Thanks for the help guys. Btw install command doesn't work. To clear things out for some clueless person like I am :

1. Open Terminal Emulator

2. Type -

su

cd /dir

pm install appname.apk

3. Done!

Example -

su

cd /sdcard

pm install AstroFileManager.apk

Hope that can help!

Adb help needed please

Hi Everyone,

I have been given a coomand to preform on a phone and I have no clue as to what when and when i do this could someone please take the time to show or help me please.

" Basically I have a Motoroi XT720 android phone. Its running on 2.2 Korean ROM but I'm using the phone in the UK now.

I cannot change/use MMS on phone becuse there is no APN setting on this version. Someone told me to do this to remove the provider lock to the APN settings

quote "

Another helpful change SKTelecom has made to the rom is to remove the APN configuration page, so to be able to configure your new APN you need to launch the configuration action yourself. Using adb:

Code:

adb -d shell am start -a android.settings.APN_SETTINGS"

I have downloaded terminal emulator to the phone and tried typing that in but doesnt do anything.

many many thanks in advance

[Touch HD General] marktang:
Well i had the phone since it came out and i realized now that there are dust going under the screen from where the stylus opening is. Everything im on a white screen i will see it. Does anyone else have this problem?
[Touch HD General] SBS_:
I have no dust at all under the screen on my HD, but that might be because I never use the stylus.
[Touch HD General] sovereignty68:
yes same here, i suggest never use your stylus
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zgembo:
I am sorry if this has been asked before, i have a rather simple question. Tried searching all over forum, to no avail. Windows Mobile noob here, at least when it comes to VS programming / debugging...

Is there anything in WinCE that is similar to crash log, or error report, similar to starting a windows application from command line, and if it crashes you get some error message?!?

I am not thinking full debugging here, just a simple error log, to see if a file is missing or any useful error information really... Thing is that i have these few WM applications that im trying to port to work on specific ROM, and i come to the moment when i start them, some just crash, or does not start at all, without any error message.

On any normal OS (read: non-Windows), one would go to command line, execute an application and check if there is any error. Is there any equivalent to this on WM?

how does one debug things on this platform for god's sake?

I have installed second today. When i am in touchflo screen , by pressing the task manager in the taskbar on right up corner, i see the icon of second today, that is running. I dont want to see this. I know that there is a solution for this, a registry setting or something. I cant find it now... Can anyone help? Thanks ,:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Deleted member 1198227:
Ok find out after spending some hours reading..

If anyone else trying to do the answer is :

Add it to the Exclusion list

Hold down your stylus on its name and add to exclusion.

im running The RC33 version of JFv1.41.

somehow the "too many pattern attempts" popped up and now its asking me to login with my username and password. ive tried my username by itself. i tried username@gmail.com (which i originally used to register the phone) and i tried username@googlemail.com (which i saw suggested in another post) and none of these work. anyone have any ideas? it just says "too many pattern attempts invalid username or password". i cant log back in.xi can still receive calls but cant get back to the home screen. im running The RC33 version of JFv1.41.
[G1 General] Phromik:
Even if you fail to enter the pattern correctly a few times, the lock should only be temporary. Although it sounds like you got permanently locked out, if I understand correctly... If it still doesn't take the username either, I'd just say reflash your phone with the update.zip
[G1 General] derekb77:
usually it says wait 30 seconds and i can try the unlock pattern again. this is the first time its asked for my email address and password again. it happened last night so i waited until this morning and its still asking for my email address and password and wont login. i guess i'll try reflashing the phone. thanks. will report back.
[G1 General] AbsoluteDesignz:
gmail.com and reset ur pass
[G1 General] derekb77:
i can login to gmail.com with my existing password. i dont think i want to mess with trying to reset my pass.
[G1 General] AbsoluteDesignz:
well its not like the world would end...resetting ur pass is real easy.
[G1 General] Iceucold:
This happened to me once before. It had slipped out of its case and ended up being flopped around my backpack. Apparently some things in my backpack attempted to unlock my phone. It gave me the gmail login screen like the OP and wouldn't accept my pass. I ended up pulling the battery, and waiting a few minutes before inserting it again. Worked just fine when I put the battery back in. Of course, neither myself, or the T-mobile rep I called knew what may have caused it.

[G1 General] 13chris13:
this happend to me whenmy kid did this. in my cas, my e-mail is all capitals and it wasnt working the way exact way i spelled my email. just type in your e-mail all lower case letters, even if there are capitals. i did this and it worked. lemmie know if it works for you.
[G1 General] derekb77:
ok changing my password didnt work.
[G1 General] derekb77:
this didnt work either. my username is all lower case.
[G1 General] derekb77:
i reflashed the device after i did a nandroid backup and was able to login with my normal username@gmail.com account info. the thing is it was set back to factory defaults so all my info was missing (apps, setting, etc.). so that rules out an issue with my gmail account. i tried restoring the nandroid backup that i created before the wipe and reflash but the restore still contains the locked state of the phone and asks for username and pass. looks like my last option would be to try the suggestion posted by haykuro here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485988 otherwise i'll have to just start from scratch with the new flash.
[G1 General] Jamaican:
Just shut the phone off ............ press and hold the home button, then press the power button until the phone vibrate, keep holding the home button untill you see yellow text on the screen, now open the keyboard and press alt and W at the same time. wait about 30sec then press the home and back button at the same time .... and there it is no more password
[G1 General] derekb77:
right. that works but like i said that puts everything at default and i have no apps and all my settings are gone etc.
[G1 General] derekb77:
cant use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=485988 because phone is locked and dont have access to switch it to USB debugging as step 3 asks for "Step 3. Plug your G1 into your computer (via usb). (Settings -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging, must be enabled [it is enabled by default in JesusFreke releases i think])" i assume debugging is turned off because when i try adb i get "device not found." i guess im going to have to start fresh and re-install everything. i still have the "locked" image i can restore and try to unlock if anyone has more suggestions. the weird thing is that it doesnt seem like its trying to connect to google servers when i enter my username and password. i hit "sign in" and it doesnt seem to do anything. really really really weird.
[G1 General] Freedomcaller:
haha this once happened to me because i was typing user or user@gmail but i never tryed user@gmail.com (well i did eventualy) but damn i was bugging out LOL!
[G1 General] derekb77:
i tried username, username@gmail, username@gmail.com, username@googlemail.com..... and nothing.
[G1 General] pagubg:
I think you should check your apn settings. I am sure that, they are wrong. Are you sure that you have 3g connection established before trying to unlock your phone? At the beggining i have locked my phone like yours, and i was trying a few times to unlock it, before understand that my 3g connection wasn't established. I have to delete ALL APN settings and the reAdd the only one that i need. You can try this too.

I hope this will unlock your phone.
[G1 General] derekb77:
how do i change the APN settings if the phone is locked?
[G1 General] Ducter:
Amount of time you have been screwing with it you could have reset it by now and had all your apps, customizations back long ago. I think thats your best bet..
[G1 General] derekb77:
yeah i ended up doing that already. still doesnt solve the issue though.
[G1 General] rohanmaini:
So how did you finally resolve the issue???
[G1 General] dizzydan77:
Removing Invalid login screen

Reset your google password through their website and then power off your G1. The trick is to make sure that you are attempting to login from within the T-Mobile 3G network. It will not validate your username and password over the wireless network. If this still doesn't work, power it off and back on and give it some time to authenticate you within the 3G network.

I had the same issue a few days ago and tried everything, including the Haykuro fix that flags off 'lock_pattern_autolock' in settings.db. This only removes the lock pattern screen from locking your G1. You will continue to be prompted for the login. It will allow you to access your home screen if you flip your phone, but you will need to do this each time you want access to the phone, which is annoying.

Again, login within the T-MOBILE 3G network and I guarantee it will unlock the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] yipcanjo:
First of all, thanks to everyone who helps makes this forum so great. I visit a lot of forums for various things, but this is one of the best! :)

Anyhow, I've been a Dash user since Nov 2006. Although the WM5 that was shipping at the time leaved a bit to be desired, the form factor of these phones really impressed me. In fact, I've seen a lot of newer WM phones that are still nowhere near as good as the Dash! The WM6 upgrade was a good one, but these phones really hit their stride with the WM6.1 release(s) -- found at this site, of course. I eventually even blogged my own "upgrade your Dash to WM6.1" post, which has been fairly popular. In December 2008, though, I decided to move on the G1 phone... assuming that newer was better.

Boy was I wrong. :mad:

I won't get into all of the details, but after 2 months with the G1, I was finding that many *simple* things were considerably more difficult on the G1 than on the Dash.

I decided to give the Dash a look-see again.

So, I'm back in "Dash"-land using the Rose 1.4 ROM. Wow! I am really amazed at how "out of the box" useful these new ROMs are!! Especially compared to the stock T-Mobile WM6 ROMs, which leave these phones feeling ugly and less useful. The keyboard was immediately wayyyy better than the G1, and I'm back to being able to call people with 2 or 3 clicks, rather than 6 or 7. Aside from the browser interface, I'm really not missing the G1 at all. :p

A few questions, though...

- My Rose 1.4 ROM has some very nice, colorful icons for the wireless signal, battery, bluetooth and so forth, but they go away when I'm on other screens. Is that typical? Anyway to have the "improved" icons show up everywhere??

- My previous WM6.1 ROM had poor radio reception, for whatever reason, and this ROM is much nicer. Is it expected that some ROMs ship with a better radio module than others?

- I've always turned the JOGGR off due to face-bumping-the-volume up and down issues, but this ROM has helped that a bit. Nice! Is there any way, though, to assign the up-and-down volume control (while in a call) to the up-and-down D-pad? Seems an obvious choice to me.

- Are there any replacements for the stock camera software on these phones? The interface drives me crazy.

- Is it possible to turn off the default "beep" sound when you place a phone call?

- I've noticed that I only hear the phone ring twice or so before it goes to voicemail, but I was used to hearing 3 or 4 rings. Any way to change that?

Ok. That's all I have for now, I guess. :rolleyes:

Thanks!

Yip
[HTC Excalibur] 1Airborne1:
"Is it possible to turn off the default "beep" sound when you place a phone call?"

yup go to profiles- normal (or whatever one ur on)- edit- scroll down and put system volume to off. thats it i think
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
- The improved icons are only going to show on the homescreen. The other icons are part of system dll's and have to be edited "in" before they'll show up. I don't think anybody's attempted to skin those on a smartphone yet, but *I* will try soon.

- The ROM doesn't include a radio.... it's either your wishful thinking, or... you just get better reception somehow.

- Don't know of a way to assign the dpad to change the volume. I'm sure it would require some custom programming which is.. above my head :)

- Don't think there's any camera shell replacements. Sorry...

- Look for a registry key called "Callstart" (in the registry! lol) and remove the associated .wav or .mid in that key :)

- There might be a "ringdelay" key in the registry. If you find one, set it to 5 to remove the delay. If not, try going into the Phone settings and somewhere in there in "services" you should be able set how many times it rings before it goes to voicemail. This is really an "operator setting", but you can try to change it this way.

What ?!? You're telling him to turn down the volume to get rid of the sound ? :confused::confused::rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] yipcanjo:
Thanks for the reply, NRG! I really dig your 1.4 ROM. Thx! :)

Anyhow, I got the "radio" idea from the NRG 1.7 ROM page, as they mention a newer "radio" code. Not true?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Rick-e:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chribruu:
You could hide them. Use a file explorer with a little more functions than the embedded one and well.. hide them. Use resco or total commander (free) choose the file and change the file attributes to hidden. It is not hard to find hidden files, but it might be good enough.

Strange request btw.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zmob123:
Maybe someone should make a program to hide files and photos or somehow password protect them, most software encrypts which creates the time consuming hassle of decrypting when you need to access them, somehow be able to access with a single password that opends the folder for viewing.

Im very surprised it isnt intergrated into an image viewer (Splash Photo does it somewhat)

[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
The cracking thing scares me. I am planning on living with the crack when mine start to develope. But so far, even after two drops (I have to carry my phone and email 24x7 so my Xperia is CONSTANTLY being handled, slid into labcoat pocket, jeans pocket etc.) I haven't had issues yet.

The iPhone is kick butt. But there those of us (in a hospital setting for example) who live and die by enterprise business email AND have to rely on the phone to wake us up from a dead sleep. The lack of end-user settings (email format, hell..even email notification VOLUME) make the iPhone unusable.

The Xperia has it faults. And for those who like the "pick up and play" aspect of the iphone with movies and apps (like I did) the Xperia has a tough battle.

If sony would make a plug and play accelerometer (maybe internal to a class 8, 16 gig sd card maybe *i can dream right*) I would be a happy camper.
