[XPERIA X1 General] killer8nl:
- New panel manager

- New soft keyboard

- new media panel cab

- new game

- new panels

and much more, but you better use the search button because this questions have been answered many times before.
[XPERIA X1 General] shithead:
Let's hope SE will update it us ASAP about the R3A :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] myknyte:
Interesting question..

I have the stock ATT FUZE rom. I hard-reset which wiped out my device clean and after the first reboot.. right before it said it was 'installing ATT fluff', I soft reset it again.

This gives me the basic ATT ROM without all the fluff and I can manually add existing CAB files already loaded. (yes, this is not as clean as flashing with a cooked ROM but works for me for now). This works for me.

Question is:

How do I get Manila/TF3d to autostart?

TF3D does not load automatically. I have to go to \windows\manila.exe to launch it. I created a shortcut to \windows\manila.exe in the \windows\startup folder but it does nothing.

TF3D does not show in the TODAY ITEMS.

I tried launching \windows\ManialActivateToday.exe but it does nothing.

I could always flash this ROM or do the full ATT install and start removing programs... but prefer to just keep what I have and autolaunch Manila.

What are your thoughts on this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aruppenthal:
A quick search would yield the answer. There is a looonnnngggg thread about skipping customization. I know because I started it. You have to install a cab out of the windows folder to make manila work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] myknyte:
ahhh.. even though Manila worked fine by skipping the customization and launching from \windows\manila.exe, looks like you do have to install the PT_Manila.cab to make this happen. Thanks for the tip.

I just wanted to make sure everyone knows what's going on, I just received this e-mail from mail2web:

Personally, I rely on mail2web to push my work e-mail to my phone, and have no intention of paying $5/mo (unless the company wants to pay for it). I'm sure I'm not the only one using it for this purpose and wanted to make sure those who do are aware of this impending change.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikebem:
thanks for the headsup! i am actually surprised that i haven't received that email myself... or maybe i just haven't checked hmm...

anyway, i too use mail2web for pushing my gmail onto my wm phone and have been happy with it for a good while now; shame that they're introducing a fee but then again i suppose 5$ a mo isn't really too much and i have no issues with commiting to that if that's the only option i have...

unless someone knows a decent free exchange solution that i could use instead? any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Again I have not yet received the email.

If it's purely email you are looking for then try Seven Beta, they pick up gmail quite nicely as well as the majority of other email accounts.

Think I may have to sign up to the basic package as i have started to use the mail2web address for many things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Keland44:
you might want to look in to seven beta it gives the option to push your work email might have to install some stuff on your actual work system if you can but it works pretty well

www.community.seven.com along with giving you access to global contacts and also accessing your calendar i don't use those features but the email works and pushes fast i'm using it on a edge connection and get them within the same minute of them being sent on my phone using seven

i just got the email today i had got a heads up on ppcgeeks but didn't think it was tru

i'm also interested in seeing if there is another activesync solution out there that's free and as function as mail2web if not i'll probably open up a new gmail account and use that just for voicemail emails from youmail, contacts and calendar events

you could probably make a gmail account and set it up to use your mail2web account using the alias feature
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
i already use Seven Beta to push gmail and a couple of others, it's the OTA calendar/contacts/tasks i like from mail2web.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Keland44:
yea same here it's easier to get appoints me through outlook and let contacts sync up wasn't there somebody on the boards that hard there own server? i think for like 5 bucks a year or something like that or like 25 for the whole year i remember somebody one had a server though
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uvz:
I received the email 15 days ago and I did the upgrade.

I'm now testing the 60-day free trial: everything works well and finally you view the mail in html

Even though I do not have intention to pay to read mail, and I hope that in these 2 months google implements its Sync with the email and I'llmove smoothly to that. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
As i said above, try Seven Beta, it works for me for my non mail2web mail. They say it will do Google contacts and calendar as well but i have yet to try it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EQUiLiiBRiUM:
I've also received this email and this troubles me cause I use Mail2web excessively to sync my contacts. :confused:

Obviously I"m using the free version cause Who Wants to pay for email ? :rolleyes:

If there is no other alternative I"ll just have to setup my own Server.. this is really disappointing. I liked there services And them saying that this Services are not available free cause of Licensing is lame and not tru :mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Hello, my phone freezes everytime when I am the black screen that says XPERIA. It freezes like forever?

I was playing Worms World Party, and then it froze so I soft reset, and now it keeps freezing

I believe this is because I rebooted in VGA mode. Is this the problem? What is the solution?

Edit, I'm flashing my ROM to itje's cool Touch-IT... however, I'm going to switch back to the norm, when R3A comes out.

Also, please answer me question @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431218 I am pretty sure someone who has flash before knows the answer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] palmboy5:
Placing my finger on the center of the D-Pad used to do autofocus for the camera, now it does nothing. Spinning my finger around the D-Pad for zooming in Albums and other programs that use this don't do anything anymore, either. Opera however, still zooms with the spinning.

My best guess for what screwed this up was GScroll but disabling it did not fix the problem. :[ Any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] petard:
Hard reset or try running the NacDbgTool. My capacitive sensor on my FUZE crapped out about a week ago and I had to get a warranty exchange.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] palmboy5:
Where can I find "NacDbgTool"?

http://www.google.com/search?q=NacDbgTool
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] uvz:
nav, not nac
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] petard:
sorry, typo
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] palmboy5:
NavDbgTool.exe could not register anything other than the spinning on the D-Pad until I removed (not just disable) GScroll. The behavior is back to normal. :)

I loved GScroll's quicklaunching ability though.
[Networking] sverweij:
Hi, i got a small problem with my xperia (currently running itje's 5.01 touch it, but had the same problem on the original firmware)

I set the device to check for email every half an hour (my live.com email address) and to disconnect the data connection after being idle for 2 minutes. Sometimes this works, however when i receive a new email message, it does not auto-disconnect at all. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Many thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] arnoldl:
Hello all ,

I'm a happy user of Shep's 6.5 rom.

But i would like to cook rt (remote tracker a antitheft aplication) into the rom.

the rom is protected , so extracting it with a kitchen en recooking doesn't work.

Also tried flashing-> dumping into part0x.raw -> extracting , but also no luck.

so cooks i ask you, is there a way to do this??

thanks , arnold
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Hi, yes, far easier would be to ask for a kitchen and use that, but barring that;

You can dump the rom, but do not split it into packages (you will need to manually dump as the kitchen will try to split into packages automatically)

Once dumped you'll have all the files in a single \dump folder.

Now add your files to it, then open default.hv in program CeRegEditor

manually add your registry entries or import them into the registry hive, and save it

now cook the rom (again can't use the kitchen, have to do it manually, since your source is already a single \dump folder)

this will give you the source rom + whatever you added :) To look at the manual steps you will need to do, look at the .cmd and .bat files in the kitchen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] arnoldl:
ok will try that ,

but strange that automatic extracting by the kitchen hangs on "protected rom" and manual it works.....

But hey...your the kitchen master :-)

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Protected roms don't dump correctly in the kitchen because the scripts are designed to work around .dsm files.. and the .dsm files are stripped on a protected rom

You can however still manually dump and get a \dump folder, flat folder with all files (as it is stored in the ROM)

Still possible to work with this folder, however the kitchen(s) are not designed to. As it is more difficult.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] arnoldl:
okey , got it......

even made myself a little kitchen to dump and rebuild the roms

(will post it later if it works, have to flash my phone to test it)

All files in the dump dir seems to be in the phone's \windows dir...

is there a way to place files in other dir's , or do i have to do this by adding cabs to the config.txt file?

Anyway , thans for the help. :-)

[G1 Android Development] MUSER4LIFE:
I just did this as a reply to another topic. An easy way to backup and run applications from your SD CARD is to go to the Android Market and download App Manager. It is free and what it does is backup all the applications that you have on your phone to your SD Card and also it allows the option to run all the applications directly from the SD Card. I just did it and it worked. Try it out and comment on how it works.
[G1 Android Development] ICBM:
This works without creating an ext2 partition? Have you actually deleted the app from your on-board memory, leaving only the copy found on your SD card?

I'm skeptical to say the least.
[G1 Android Development] boosted13b:
It doesnt let you run apps from the SD Card, It will let you back up and install apps from the Card.
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
And you are right to be. It doesn't do that, it merely creates a backup on the SD card. The author never claimed that it would do any other thing.

Exactly.

Sheesh. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Joeriginal:
Cant find it on the market
[G1 Android Development] KidJethro:
Astro does this. Just open it up, hit menu, then app manager.
[G1 Android Development] ICBM:
Yes he did! :) I didn't mean to be mean, was just saying...
[G1 Android Development] xyrcncp:
Search for AppManager.

edit: shouldn't this be in the Applications Forum?
[G1 Android Development] Autarkis:
Oh, my bad. I meant the author of AppManager. :)
[G1 Android Development] MUSER4LIFE:
I wasn't too clear

In response to the replies, yes I was a bit wrong. However this does help in certain occasions such as if one downloads an application and wants to back it up and/or share it with another person. In my case, I wanted to find a way to be able to share MP4 Youtube downloader with my friends as it had been removed from the market. But I am thankful for all the criticism as it is better to right than partiallly right. Sorry for misleading anyone.
[G1 Apps and Games] MrADeveci:
I opened up the Market this morning, as I do most monings before I even wash my face ..... and was impressed with the following application.

https://www.wisepilot.com

I've used it once already, and although it got slightly confused with what I requested, I wanted to visit E10 and it took me to E15 ...... but it looks promising!

What do you think? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
gah... looks nice I guess but subscription based.... ick. Better pricing than telenav I guess...
[G1 Apps and Games] SpyderMS:
Telenav is actually the same price of $99/year at the moment, and you can get a 30-day trial, as opposed to Wisepilot's 5-day trial. Telenav also has an option for a 4-year subscription for $250. Wisepilot's trial didn't seem to work for me here in Phoenix, and I notice others have had problems in some states (and others have not). I'll mess with it again some time this weekend, and hopefully will be able to figure it out. I'm definitely going to give the 30-day trial of Telenav a shot though.

I'd personally prefer a GPS app that had a one-time fee, however, even if it didn't have every fancy feature that Telenav and others might. Why pay $100+ a year when I could just get a stand-alone GPS for the same price, or less, and not pay monthly fees?

-John
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Same old crap. None of them will be getting one thin dime from me until there is no longer the subscription nonsense and the data is stored on my card.

I think that it was the RIM POS phones that lacked expandable storage that led to these stupid subscription GPS services.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mikey:
I love how everyone wants everything for free :)
[G1 Apps and Games] claborn:
I tried it, was ok but you cant select addresses from your contacts as a destination so, uninstall for me.

And the monthly pricing is rather lame as well. I already pay $30 a month for the data service just to even be able to access the gps maps, then have to pay what they want on top of it. Yeah, you might as well just get a stand alone navigator, would be cheaper anyway.

The maps app has just enough for what i need right now.
[G1 Apps and Games] f4phantomii:
You didn't read carefully......we don't want it free. We're willing to pay. We're *not* willing to pay on a subscription basis.

Two things that the user market is yearning for in a GPS app with realtime nav:

1. One time fee that's less than the cost of a standalone GPS unit

2. Standalone maps that aren't dependent on having a network connection

My wife got so frustrated on a trip this week with the lack of proper navigation apps for the G1 that rather than paying the subscription fee for Telenav she went and bought a Garmin Nuvi for $100 that's widescreen and speaks the street names.

Personally I'm finding it more and more likely I'm going to jump over to a Garmin M60 NuviPhone when they launch soon as I'm equally frustrated with the navigation functions on the G1.

The only thing holding me back is the hope that somehow I'll be happy enough with AndNav (which I have donated to!).....they finally ordered (and received!) most of the server hardware they needed to support a dedicated US server for routing. I'll give it an honest shot and see how that goes.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mikey:
Im not trying to come off as a know-it-all.

Don't you have to buy the maps for stand-alone GPS units?
[G1 Apps and Games] CBowley:
It depends, I believe I had to pay for my Garmin updates, but not not when I had my TomTom. Although I could be mistaken (short memory).
[G1 Apps and Games] borodin1:
TomTom is the same way. I think maps are $40/per update which means you can update twice a year for the price of Telenav and still have change leftover. That is if you don't need trafic (which I think there's a free app for that on G1) or millions of poi (and tomtom does have some poi, just not too many)
[G1 Apps and Games] borodin1:
I just saw that MicroCenter has refurbed TomTom One for $79. I'm so frustrated with G1 situation that I might jump on that deal.
[G1 Apps and Games] blackvyper:
Get your wallet out Copilot Live 8 is here! Maps are saved to the SD card.. no data usage if you don't want it to.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
If you ask me, $250 for four years is not a bad price. For everything that TeleNav does (gas, traffic, weather, etc etc) you'd be dropping around that (sometimes more) on a device that does all it does. And usually a GPS unit isn't going to last for the average consumer four years. Either they will break it somehow or the new and improved will come out, they will want it and they will drop another $200+ on it.

Price is completely justified for the features it has. If you want a simple turn-by-turn GPS with no bells and whistles, then no, it isn't for you.
[G1 Apps and Games] wesbalmer:
The only thing I can't understand is why we can't use the google maps, it has the information and has real-time location and shows our location on route. Even it were just as simple as turn by turn it should be able to be done I would think. BUT, what do I know.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
It has to do with map licensing.

It definitely *could be done*, it is just against the terms of use.

You see, google doesn't produce the maps, somebody else does, and this somebody else doesn't want turn-by-turn navigation being given away for free since they charge a premium for their turn-by-turn customers (i.e. tomtom or whatever).
[G1 Apps and Games] salamandar:
Thats not it at all, the subscription model usually leads to lazy design which leads to you being screwed when you drive out of the data plans range, no data link? NO GPS! Sick of that crap, why the hell call it a GPS if its really a local network capable navigation device.

Get CoPilot, least it works all the time.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Do you know for sure if this is what happens with TeleNav? How do you know that it won't continue to work (the map at least) if you lose data? It may just use the data for the traffic/weather/etc info.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
It definitely doesn't keep working. If you lose network, you lose nav. Think of it like this; if it doesn't have the data, how can it generate a route from the data? The ONLY way that a nav program can generate a route without network is if the data is stored locally, and this takes up a lot of space; copilot for north america takes up 1 GB on the sdcard. Telenav installs fully to internal memory and is called telenav for a reason... TELE = remote + NAV = navigation, i.e. it runs off their servers and not your phone.
[G1 Apps and Games] kevo:
How come andnav2 doesnt get much attention?

I think its great.
[G1 Apps and Games] kevo:
Oops. Double postings.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
It is almost totally useless.

1) requires a continuous data connection,

2) maps are incomplete.
[G1 Apps and Games] derfolo:
I suggest supporting Waze, and getting rid of all these middle-men profiteers. Drive around with Waze enabled and help build a better driving app for all of us that is also FREE.

http://www.waze.com/
[G1 Apps and Games] kevo:
1)routes can be pre cached

2)I thought android users would understand the nature behind open street map?

Are we talking about the same version here? "Andnav2" not "AndNav1 - Beta2"?

Besides its postcode database not being very good, I dont know how its address search could be any less complicated?
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
1) pre caching routes is useless because the moment you leave the route, you're screwed. Besides, most of the time, you start up your navigator on the road when you realize that you don't know where you're going. It isn't just for doing huge cross-country trips! And what happens when you miss a turn, i.e. because a cow was standing in front of the sign?

2) sure do, but it simply has too far to go before it can actually be considered useful.
[G1 Apps and Games] twistedumbrella:
Well then I'll pay the first $99 (The same price as a TomTom, which uses the same system) and you just pick up every year after that. That way noone gets anything for free, and we both get screwed on cost. ;)

Until you send me some credit card info, I think i'll just use waze (free), or copilot ($35) or even one touch GPS ($3), which all understand that subscription costs equal to the purchase price of the app are a bit rediculous when only a couple items change.
[G1 Apps and Games] kevo:
1) http://wiki.andnav.org/index.php/List_Of_MapTilePacks/ :-D

2) I guess it depends where you are. I've found it pretty decent in my part of the UK. With it even showing foot rights of access through farmer's fields, which I very extremely useful on walks.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
1) You clearly don't know much about andnav if you are using maptile packs as a reference. You can NOT generate routes from the tile packs. They *reduce* the amount of data you need to transfer, but they do NOT eliminate the need to connect to their server for generating routes.

2) Browse on over to Toronto, Canada. It covers about 5% of the roads here.
[G1 Apps and Games] xavier6303:
I must say that aside from the occasional random shutdown from copilot, copilot is my favorite. I just moved to rural PA from inner city Atlanta GA and copilot has saved my butt everytime I left the house....and still does!

I have noticed a great improvement in routing in the new version that they posted yesterday. The test route that I described a few posts back now computes correctly -- no more sending me all over the city for no reason ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] megaoptimus:
Which of the android mapping tools would be best if I didn't care about on the fly or saved routing? IE...I just want to manually zoom in on and browse around the map to determine my own route; for biking and things of the like. I'm downloading andmaps USA database now and it is 541mb, so I'm presuming I'll have the ability to freely browse the maps.

IF I did want on the fly routing or routing that I could save to take with me since I don't have a data plan, which app/method would work best in this case?
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
This will allow you to use adb and fastboot as if they were any other DOS command by typing them in a Command Prompt window from any directory.

Thanks to MERKJONES for giving me the idea... of course it only occurred to me after he mentioned it, that this would be quite useful for a lot of people besides ourselves :p

There are two ways of doing this.

#1

as per MERKJONES suggestion you can just add the files to your "windows/system32" directory.

#2

I like to keep my files organized in my own folders and be able to put them on any partition that I want. So to do this we just need to add the path of your folder containing adb and fastboot files to the windows Environment path.

IN XP/WINDOWS 7/VISTA

Right click on "my computer"

Left click on "properties"

Then.........

IN VISTA/WINDOWS 7 (this is an extra step for these two OS"s ignore this if you are using XP)

Click on "Advanced System Settings" in the left hand pane.

IN ALL WINDOWS

Make sure you are on the "Advanced" tab of the System Properties Panel.

Click on "Environment Variables" button.

Look for a line/variable that says "Path" in "System variables" pane.

Double click on "Path" to open a new window that should be say "Edit System Variable" or select the "Path" variable and click on the Edit Button.

Navigate to the end of the line/value and add

;path to files (where "path to files" is the location of your adb and fastboot files)

For example for me this is

;E:\AndroidFiles

So your path should look something like this

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;E\AndroidFiles

Now reboot and you can open up a DOS Command Prompt window and use these programs in any directory you want by just typing them like any other DOS command.
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
Awesome.... I hope this can help some folks out :D
