Or if you don't have/don't want ubuntu do it right from the phone, there's a very good guide in the development section on how to do it... you do need CM 1.3 and up recovery though

Good luck
[G1 Android Development] DANNEMAN101:
Hi!

Ive just finished an iPhone-application, and Im looking into the possibility to convert it to an android-application.

Let me tell you the basic structure of the app:

- It has a simple drill-down-menu, with three levels of lists. Pressing a list-item will bring you deeper down into the hierarchy, and pressing a back-button will take you up a step.

- At the bottom of the hierarchy is a webview that loads a unique webpage depending on the hierarchical path the user has taken. These web-pages (html and javascript) are all localized on the device so it never goes online.

- The webpages has two main resources: images, and sound (mp3). The sound should be playable from within the webpage. All these resources are also loaded from the device.

- When exiting the app, it should save its location and when relaunched it should reopen that location.

As you can see, its a pretty simple application. Im wondering if anybody could detail a little what I need for this to come alive on Android. Perhaps the application-layout Im after is so generic, even, that there is a template for this?

My background as a programmer is mostly C++ and C#, so Im more at home with the Java-syntax than the awful Objective-C that iPhone uses.

So far Ive installed the development-environment, and have tried out the basic "Hello Android"-sample. Thats about it for the moment.

Android uses java syntax and java libraries

so if you like java, then you would probably like android

layouts are done in XML

[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
I don't think anybody can tell you what you need to do. Just start by reading through all of this: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html and you should be able to handle this.

Note: your application appears to be trivial.

One thing that I suggest is that you forget about locally-stored web pages and just rewrite those pages in Android/Java. The reason I suggest this is that unlike apple, you can't make any assumptions about what browser the user has installed (if any), or what rendering engine their browser happens to have, or javascript engine, etc. There are AT LEAST three different rendering engines in use on Android, including khtml, gecko, and presto. There are at LEAST two different JAVASCRIPT engines, including SquirrelFish and V8, and soon you will be able to add SpiderMonkey to this list (when Firefox launches). And no, you can't force your application to call on a particular browser since this would violate the modularity designed into the platform.

Well, afaik the rooting process is ONLY software based, as is all of the rest of the process. Ergo it shouldnt have been an illegal "mod" that you've made, and ergo you should be fine, as long as you havnt done any hardware modifications ;)

It does void your warranty because you are altering your phone in a way that T-mobile didn't intend. If you want to revert it back to normal, flash the original bootloader and RC29. You should be fine with that.

One you flash to RC29 doesnt it take care of everything or do you still need to do more, before you send it back.

dont worry

I exchanged mine under the 14 vday buyers remourse cause the bt was shot, I had it 100% rooted hard SPL everything even a theme, all I did is wipe the theme, then sent it back tith jf's RC33 and the robots on skateboards Hard SPL..

To top it off I also forgot to return, the headset since it was a cool 2 piece, tho i may have sent back a one piece, can't recall and I forgot the charger(mains) and the lil G1 cozy also.

this was like a month ago, did want the earphones, but just forgot the rest since if you dont have it back to Tmob by 3 days they kill 5 pupies in your name and charge you 500$ but I have yet to hear about any of the missing items or the hacked up firmie, I bet they dont look to close at them, im sure wiping all the mem and starting over is one of the first steps in the refurb process....

If the T-mobsters knock on my door I'll post it up, but Im not holding my breath...

dont worry about getting it back to stock, I wouldn't/didn't

[Touch HD General] antrak:
Hey guys,

First of, YES I USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION :o.

My battery life is absolute horrid right now, and I tried everything.

I tried out different roms, every radio, deleting programs, hard resetting tons of times. I even bought a new 1500 mAh battery but it was still crap.

Battery log says my device in standby mode with the screen turned of uses -70ma, when I turn my screen up it jumps to -320ma, and when idle on the screen for a few sec it goes to -200 ma, but when I browse through stuff again it goes to 3xxma again. When I surf on the internet it picks up to 450-500ma.

Now, this morning with the 1500 mAh battery fully charged I played a few games of XTRAKT, few texts, 1 hour of music listening and 10 minutes of being on Opera through a HSDPA connection. It was down to 45%.

This isn't the normal rate the battery goes down at right?

I use HDtweak to manage my connection and put it off after a minute so it isn't that I keep dataconnections open. I never use bluetooth or wifi either.

Could it possibly be that it's the charger of the device? I perhaps have the feeling that it doesn't put enough juice into the battery even though the green light led goes on to indicate it's full.

Some feedback would be much appreciated cause it's put me on the edge of selling my device, which would be a shame cause I'm really fond of it (except the battery ofcourse :D).

Thanks in advance!

/a

P.s. I am from a pda background, so it isn't that I'm expecting too much of the device or comparing it to a normal cell.
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
May I ask what you searched, as there are 3 or 4 active threads on battery drain right now?
[Touch HD General] fastie:
Hi

Had same problem.

Try to browse a storage card if its very slow You must format it and it will back to normal.

very strange but its working.

Cheers
[Touch HD General] antrak:
General battery drain yes, not the possible issue of a charger though. If I'm wrong I stand corrected. :p.

I'll try this, I have noticed that today my storage card won't be read by my computer, so perhaps this is a fix for the lousy battery issue.
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Antrak,

Touch HD has the longest battery life of any similar 'phone. See e.g.

http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/1...-the-rest.aspx.

Either your battery is not charging correctly, as you say (try it via the PC USB cord?), or you have two dud batteries in a row (very unlikely) or you have a bug in your m/board. 70mA in standby is too high. It should be <20mA with only the 'phone on in standby mode, providing you are not moving from one cell to another all the time, and have decent signal.

One other suggestion. Drain the battery completely to zero, then recharge it to max. This should reset the internal battery meter. But don't do this too often, as it ages the battery faster.

If none of these work, return the 'phone for a m/board replacement undere guarantee.
[Touch HD General] sophian84:
I have the same problem... After charging for 10 hours, my batt shows 55% only.. and last 1hr on STANDbY!!!

IMAGINE! charge for 10hrs juz to get to use for 1 hr.. im disappointed by the batt.. im not sure if HTC is gona let me exchange with a new one or do I have to buy a new batt..

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Touch HD General] langgarlari:
try check your sync..its active all the time or not..

if yes..

find the threat to make a fake account for sync, so you can active it manually.

so your battery will stand more longer,

about charging..

me also facing the same problem..

need to change it more longer to get full battery,

but

if i change in my car,

no issue

very fast

i thing charger issue..

but i bought original set..

[Touch HD General] antrak:
Okay I've charged my HD through my pc with a USB cable and formatted my SD card like a other user said. Gonna see how it holds out today. It could very well be that some chargers have issues.
[Touch HD General] jouh:
My experience with the Touch HD says that when charged with a USB attached to a computer the battery life is a lot shorter than charged through a wall socket.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
This is always going to be the case. Quickest way to charge your device will always be through your wall socket and with your device turned off!!
[Touch HD General] nerdcore:
Same battery issue.

i recently purchased a new touch HD (T8285 telstra version) and am experiencing the same horrible battery issues. it takes more time to charge it, than i get use out of it.

i've tried multiple batteries, and am in the process of trying different ROMs.

antrak: any update on that last post? did the SD format help?
[Touch HD General] stepw:
Indeed, here's an illustration...

Image1:

Charging via USB takes longer. Consumption and therefore charge current is erratic after the battery level reaches 50% when charging via USB on my HD. So the battery fills up to about 60% of its capacity by the time when the battery level is reported to be 100% and charging stops.

Image2:

When charging with an AC adapter this is not happening and the capacity is fully utilized. This is also quicker.
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
That's strange. For me it's quicker if the device is turned on. When it's off it takes around 8-10 hours to charge but when it's on it's alot quicker.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
hmmm, I don't know how this is possible? :confused:

If your device is on there is always power outage especially with programmes running, whilst if your device is off, there is no power drainage so device should charge quicker.

What rom are you using? software installed?
[Touch HD General] trice1921:
Latest official rom with alot of software installed. But it doens't make sence to me either. It's logical for something to charge faster when it's using no power (off) then when it is using power (on).
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Combine battery threads ???

Hi to Moderators,

There are now several threads on the HD forum on battery and charging issues.

Can these be combined into one place and stickied, so we can get a clear picture?

Current threads are this one, plus:

I have a gut feeling from what I'm reading, that HTC have had a bad batch of batteries or charger circuits in the HD - in which case the best starting point is to call their service points and ask for help/replacement, instead of spending lots of time on other remedies. The symptoms described have lots of commonalities, and the HD is normally an excellent beastie for battery usage.

Thanks for all your help, ladies and gents! Your work is much appreciated.
[Touch HD General] antrak:
Heya,

Don't know what it is but my battery life increased a tad. Am running Dutty's X3.0 with the 1.32.x.x. radio. Watching a 1 hour xvid dvd rip (no conversion) in coreplayer on full backlight with no HSDPA on, wifi or bluetooth takes away 20% of my battery, which is acceptable.

Don't think it's the SD card format though, it might be that I never have the activesync process on anymore by setting it to manual update and closing it (it otherwise keeps running.)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Hi eveyrone.

Background: I have been playing with the new Manilla from XBMod, but in doing so I have had to change my ROM. Previously was on a DUtty v4 ROM which I loved as it was a simple clean and fast ROM.

Now compared to Dutty's all other so far are Bloated and/or slugish (even before I put the manilla2 on).

Anyway I decided to see what it takes to make my own. I looked into it and found a nice simple basic tutorial with video here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=413782

Now this is really basic. I do need to learn a bit but I need some help in finding some information. Little things like how to edit the registry or how to change the boot image. Also need to find all the updated HTC apps, and a list of what HTC apps are available and/or ported.

Before someone tells me to use search or "google is your friend" I know that.

I can find out what each package does before I remove them and such. I can also find out how to do allot of these things too, but if you actually use the search also then you will find nearly everything is based on modifying an already installed ROM and not doing it in the Kitchen.

On top of all this I doubt I am the only person looking for a clean fast ROM so I will be releasing this to everyone. I would appreciate any suggestions for what to include and what registry edits to do. And would really appreciate a master chef coming by and helping a new apprentice chef.

Much appreciated for anyones help. (Remember I havn't asked for others to do it, I am asking for some help to learn it.) Lets just hope I don't burn anything...... :P.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Nothing?

No one wants a Simple Light Upto date ROM??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Kinda funny isn't it.

If I just waited around and asked who had what and all that, I would be flamed to a crisp and get told to read and use search. Just so you know I just used search for "OEM HTC" and got NOTHING.

I have been using the forums for about 6 months now and now I have decided to put my little bit of effort in, no one is interested in helping...

I always say that I only help those whom help themselves. I have and am currently helping myself, but I do need a little hand mainly to point me in the right direction.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Anyone?

Doesn't anyone want a simple ROM that is mearly a set of performance tweaks and updated OS and Updated Default HTC Apps?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mjaxa:
Here's you answer - download one of teh full kitchens available (like Sulliers or Mondilv) and make it yourself.

Other way - download latest OEM rom (there's thread for that), ervius kitchen, and cut away to your liking - you will have your "latest light rom".

This is exactly what it is about. Either be ready and donate to the chefs who do such things (cook for demand for payment) or get behind the keyboard and start cooking. it's not that difficult...

This is how I started - got the kitchen, and step by step I go forward. I can't call myself a cook - I only know how to tweak a bit little things, but I'm learning. I suggest you start too :D

If you are searching for "clean, fast ROM" look no further than Mondilv's kitchen - probably the fastest Rom available now (if we are to trust Pietrucci's benchmarks, and I see no reason why not). Since it;s a kitchen you can do whatever you want to it. And if you are asking "how to edit registry" then maybe your searching skills aren't that good... This like the most basic thing....

Happy cooking!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Good to see people actually read.

At no point did I ask for a ROM. I do recall mentioning that I have downloaded a kitchen and am playing with it.

I did mention that I have searched and my skills in searching are perfectly fine. Considering that fact that I have found the registry information but NOT in XDA.

THe problem with XDA is that if you are to be succesfull in a search you must already know what you want to find (and therefore know the terminology to search for) which then means why search at all seeing you already know. And if you happen to find something you have to read the thread for a week to find the only single post within it that actually gives you an answer.

If you had read my first post properlly and understood it, you would realise I am after information TOO LEARN IT...... but maybe I'll take your suggestion and LEARN it instead.

It really pisses me off when people reply withou fully reading the post, and then tells me exactly what I said I am doing.

For all you know I could be a potential contributer to these threads and you have just destroyed my respect for the people on these threads. Thankyou for your lack of any real help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Oh and one last thing, I was wrong with the last bit of my first post.

If I ask for the ROM I get flamed, If I ask for help to learn to build a ROM I get told to make a ROM or download one.

Catch 22 around here. Can't ask for help and can't get help. I wanted to build one but if this is the **** I am going to cop just cause I want to learn something and contribute, then its not worth jack ****.

And who are you to say if I have or havn't donated to other ROM Builders.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RobertdeHoop:

I don't mind Ripped stuff, like from TouchFlo2 etc, but I want to leave out beta buggy stuff untill they are are fixed. For example I would want HTC Notifications as it seems to work well (unless I am just lucky) but I won't put in the TouchFlo3D 2 as it is still buggy and unstable.

Oh and VGA versions if possible for my Touch Diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] eangulus:
Oh and were can I find a 21xxx+ version ROM that I can use?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mjaxa:
Hmm, so I want to help, and the best you can do is smirk at my recommendations, and you just carry on:

can you point me here, can I have that or this, and oh, can it be VGA, and possibly with chocolate?

Man, I'm sorry, but there is something wrong. All the info you are looking for IS on this forum. I can't believe that you searched and didn't found. You either search the diamond forum, or use general forum search (which is google) and you just follow the links.

I don't want to belittle you nor argue with you. But just take a second and look at the way how ALL internet forums work. The first thing you do to gain credibility on any forum is to search, learn, then try to help. The last thing you do is to show up, and ask for links "on a platter" in rather demanding manner, and then criticize the answer. I just had a look on your posts and it seems that this is what you do. You repeatedly ask for ready solutions, and when people tell you to search, you are annoyed, or ask "does anybody read posts on this forum?"

I will say just this - google "netiquette" or "how to behave on internet forums".

Good luck in your search for perfect ROM for you.
