Does anyone have a problem where if you are using Googlemaps and the screen turns off while using gps? If so how how can I make it stay on?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] darfri:
Buy pocketshield. It will allow you to keep the phone from suspending if you have specified process running (like Google Maps). Or you can try Battery Guard. It should allow you to configure your device to keep the GPS (or any other "sub"device if needed) running in standby mode.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] Rytt55:
Hm.. I guess I should change my signature... but since I did post in the magic section...... :D I think I have an magic!

My google maps turns off in 2 mins (my basic screen setting to turn off) and I can't keep the app alive to use the GPS normally.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

does anyone know of any application which uses the tilt sensor for scrollling.

For instance, when you looking at list of all the programs, to scroll the list down,

you can tild the phone in a downward direction and opposite when you want to scroll it a bit upward.

not sure if such application exist, but it would be great if some on could write such an application. :)

If you swap over the SD card from your old phone to your new phone, all yours Apps will be there if you're using a ROM with automatic Apps2SD (such as Cyan's). They should come up in the market too if I'm not mistaken.

ok i downloaded the energy rom for my sprint touch pro!! and everytime i try to update it it wont work! it it goes all the way to the gray screen with the percentage bar and just sits at 0% the comes up with some error!!

ROM version - 1.03.651

Radio version- 1.03.15

Can someone help please!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] btstarcher:
If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Sprint Touch Pro a CDMA device? If so, you need to look in the correct forum, and I hope you haven't bricked your phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
If you put a GSM ROM on a CDMA device, that would be a bit of a bummer.

However, if you consistently get to the grey screen, you may be able to recover. If you truly do have a CDMA device, try putting a CDMA ROM on your SD Card and flashing from there. Here is how to do it:

Requirements:

Hard-SPL flashed onto your phone

At least 256 MB Micro SD card

Instructions:

1.	Download any CDMA ROM

2.	Change the name of the RRUsigned.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh

3.	Format your card to FAT32

4.	Transfer RAPHIMG.nbh to the root of the card

5.	Turn off the phone and insert the card

6.	Hold volume down + press stylus in reset hole+ press power

7.	As soon as it turns on, take stylus out, but hold the volume down button

8.	Follow on-screen instructions.

Good luck.

[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
First Note: These apps will become uninstallable! (much like any other stock rom apk) and must be deleted using the console, somehow.. anybody care to shed some light on how?

Hopefully someone can add more to this or use this info to build a much more thorough how-to, but for now here's what I've got...

Instead of building your own update.zip you can modify your alt+w wipe data to reinstall the downloaded/backed-up apks of your choice. This can also be used to install 3rd party apks without having access to any other installer, for instance if you wipe then find yourself without any access to the internet/market or a computer.

To do this you must first have the apps on the sd. I used astro to backup apps which puts the apks in /sdcard/backups/apps

I'm doing this on IonR2, your system apps may be elsewhere, mine are located in /system/app, you'll need to know where they are for this to work.

Power off your phone and do this (enter the bold stuff only, replace my directories with yours):

home+power (enter recovery)

alt+x (to go to console)

hit enter (cause the prompt says so..)

/ # mount sdcard

/ # mount system

/ # cd sdcard/backups/apps (or cd to where ever your backed up apks are)

/sdcard/backups/apps # ls *appname* (this may be useful for finding the exact *.apk name)

/sdcard/backups/apps # install -cp org.appName.com.apk /system/app (remember to capitalize where necessary)

at this point it should hang for a second then return to the "/sdcard/backups/apps #" prompt, if so the apk has successfully been added.

/sdcard/backups/apps # reboot (or install more apks if you like)

home+power then alt+w to test if you so desire. now your backed up apk should reinstall itself if you ever have to do an alt+w wipe again..(weather the apk is on the sd card or not)

I know, not very thorough but wth, I figured someone might find this as useful as I did(or be able to expand on it a bit, data, app settings etc). Also cool if you happen to have no net connection, no pc access and a wiped phone with no real useful/fun apps...
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
u only have to do this once, and it'll flash the new roms WITH these apps installed? how do we 'clear' these apps if we don't want to have them installed when we wipe?
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Is it possible to install all the apps in your backup directory at once, with some sort of batch command?
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
These apps will become uninstallable! (much like any other stock rom apk) and must be deleted using the console, somehow.. anybody care to shed some light on how?

@ Lieu10ant, yeah, you only have to do once/updated rom, this modifies the base install. the newely added apks will be installed every time you alt+w (wipe). If you apply an update.zip this process will need to be redone(I'm pretty sure, haven't tried).

@ lukekirstein, I'm sure there's a way but I'm not sure how. Really hoping someone more knowledgable jumps in here with a bit more info :/

I've added a file manager(with backed up apps installer) and wifi tether because I always need/use em and never really planned on uninstalling em..
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Im pretty sure you would have to use "rm" and individually remove all apps you dont want.
[G1 Android Development] Sirus20x6:
instead of backing up your apps, just run apps to sd and never reinstall any apps again
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
you would mount the system again from the recovery console and 'rm' each app you don't want. You would want to be careful not to batch delete stuff.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
Wouldn't it be a nice thing to make them uninstallable? That would, in theory, make them a lot more stable like the stock apps and can only be updated, not modified. You can probably delete them through console in recovery or even through ADB if you wanted to. It'd definitely be impossible to do it through some basic installer or the package uninstaller while the phone is running normally. The same process as a stock app.

I know you can't do it while the phone is running (bummer :/) but I was hoping it's possible when the phone is off.
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
@ Breakthecycle2, cool, I figured rm through console after mounting but haven't tried so wasn't 100% on that one.

@ Sirus20x6, I prefer this method to apps2sd, mainly because everything's stored in the phone's internal memory. Although I know most folks now seem to be using an apps2sd of some sort.

@ lukekirstein, yeah. That's why I do it this way, but some may want them uninstallable so I figured I better make a point to inform those folks :)
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
Wouldn't this decrease your internal memory since these apps are being saved to the phone so you can later wipe?
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
jusplainmike, I would assume so. Something to keep in mind.
[G1 Android Development] xile6:
Would a nand be better?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
:eek: (10c)
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
perhaps, depends on what you want I suppose. I wipe clean every so often just to get a fresh start, speed things back up etc. Sometimes while installing themes I wipe multiple times and also just want a clean slate.

This is definitely not the way to go for a complete backup-restore. Just seems a good way to reinstall a few missing by stock apps after a wipe.
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
lol soulife i know, i know :p
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
I believe apps2sd is the best bet for keeping apps after a wipe or fresh install.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
retort

The only reason is because you push a market app to internal memory it read only. If there's an update you have to open terminal or adb and rm and push the update back. Plus if you flash a new update it will wipe them out. With a2sd however you can update them no hastle, and even if you flash a new build, with a2sd the reinstall themself. Much more convient as long as you smart with your partitioning.
[G1 Android Development] pixel-painter:
I think you guys may be doing this the hard way. If you are wiping and moving to a compatible ROM, just leave the sd card as it is and the new ROM should be able to find and install the apps as long as it has apps2sd built in.

If you are moving to an incompatible ROM you will have to remove old sd app directory first.

rm -r /system/sd/app

then you should be able to just copy over your entire apk backup directory to your sdcard as follows.

cp- a /sdcard/yourdirectoryname /system/sd/app

and if you are installing a ROM that has app2sd built in, it should find all the apps and install them.

If the ROM you use does not have apps to sd, then you will be able to use Lucid script to move apps from phone to sd card app directory (with already copied apps) and link directory
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
Tru, I just don't use apps2sd. My sd is constantly getting mangled for one reason or another..
[G1 Android Development] dbhatesyou:
uh, by doing this you're filling up your /system folder which actually needs memory to improve. and you can uninstall them by

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm/system/app/nameof.apk

on another note wouldnt wiping while having info in the system ; wipe?

anyways
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
Wiping doesn't clear these console installed apps. That's the beauty of it. I actually discovered this by accident after a wipe. I had no internet access or pc available and needed some essential apps. So I mucked around in console until I managed to install an app. Rebooted and walla the app was installed, mission accomplished. Installed a few other apps the normal way. Then later did another wipe out of curiosity and to my surprise the console installed app was still there. May not be useful to most folks but wth I find it cool so maybe someone else might :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] papalazarou:
Hi guys.

I know that the various aspects of this post are covered in other posts, but I haven't seen anything that acts like a step by step or repository for this info.

Basically, I have a VodafoneAU HTC Magic with 1.5 on it, and I'd like to flash on it one of the Hero roms. I used to have a Diamond and then Diamond Pro, but I know little about Android at this point.

My biggest fear is bricking the phone, followed by not being able to restore my previous rom (and even apps and settings would be awesome too, though not essential) should something go pear shaped.

I know the steps I need to follow are:

1 - Root the phone

2 - Back up ROM (settings/apps too?)

3 - Flash new ROM

4 - ?????

5 - Profit (in the form of enjoying an awesome Hero ROM)

Jokes aside, if someone can point me in the right direction for the first 3 steps, that'd be great. Even if it's as simple as

1 - Root it using this post (link)

2 - Use this App to back it up

3 - etc..

Like I said, I know this info is probably covered elsewhere, but not in one place (that I've found) and I'd hope this post could serve as a guide for anyone else looking to go the same steps as me.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Cheers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
First off, you don't need to root your phone, update the SPL, or any of that scary stuff. Which is great, cus that's the riskiest part of it all. Briefly, the procedure is as follows:

1. Boot your phone in fastboot mode (power the phone off, then hold the back button as you power it back on). You'll see a white screen with some text, the word "FASTBOOT" and some androids at the bottom.

2. Note the version numbers you see at the top of the screen - it'll look something like:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.3300.0009 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

3. Download the ROM you want to upgrade to for your phone's version, rename the zip to update.zip and put it on the root of your phone's SD card

4. Boot a recovery ROM using fastboot (from the Android SDK)

5. Use Nandroid Backup to back up your current firmware to the SD card

6. Copy that backup (and the rest of the contents of your SD card) to your PC, just in case. This is the last point at which you can back out!

7. Use the recovery ROM to wipe your phone's existing firmware

8. Use the recovery ROM to apply the update.zip from the SD card

9. Wait for the update to complete

10. Reboot your phone and enjoy your new ROM!

I did this on my Vodafone NZ HTC Magic (PVT32B) running 1.5 yesterday and am enjoying Hero on it right now, barring a few quirks. If you like, I'll put together a detailed step-by-step of the procedure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] papalazarou:
Awesome, cheers. I'll have a crack at it tonight then.

So Am I correct then in assuming step 5 backs up my phone as it is now? So essentially if I roll back it will be exactly as it was? Installed apps, settings, contacts (although sync sorts that out) and all?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
Nope. Nandroid only backs up the existing firmware (and I believe some settings). It doesn't back up texts, contacts (though those should be synced with your Google Account anyway), or apps. For the most part, apps are easy to retrieve from the Market, but if you have any you got from elsewhere you'll need to reacquire them. The app MyBackup Pro seems to be recommended on these forums for more thorough backups, though it isn't free (and I've not used it myself). As my phone was (relatively) new I wasn't too fussed about keeping backups of anything except the firmware.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Wysie:
I've done a couple of Nandroid backups and restores and it restores everything (except SD card), meaning applications, settings, everything is restored.

Also, I highly recommend RAv's recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492). Use it to make your Nandroid backup :).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
I've heard differing reports on what Nandroid does and doesn't back up, so was erring on the side of caution. But if it backs up everything, awesome. :)

And yep, that's the recovery ROM I used. I'm writing up the step by step instructions at the moment - will post em when they're done.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MontAlbert:
depends how you restore it- you can restore system.img only and not get all your data etc (using fastboot) but if you fastboot data.img as well then you get it all..... the new recovery restores it all...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snowhk:
I am a noob...Why don't need to FLASH SPL and ROOT the phone?? But u can still flash into HERO rom. I would like to have a full flash procedure from you,thanks. My machine is running on PVT32A.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
You can load the Hero ROM without replacing your SPL (in most cases) or rooting, so why replace it if you don't need to? I've done it myself without doing so and it's working fine.

My guide is now ready - check it out at http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snowhk:
Just ask for curiosity..But why did others do so?? Thanks. You provided a clear guide.^^
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
I think some SPL versions prevent ROM updates and so need to be replaced with versions that do, but I'm not sure. I'll let someone more knowledgeable take that question.

And thanks, I tried to make the guide as easy as possible :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] snowhk:
My device shows the followings:

Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-ON H

Would my SPL version prevent the update?Coz I afraid of bricking my phone>< I got too many questions. Hope u can have a help. Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
According to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529019 you should be fine. If you're unable to boot the recovery ROM (step 8 in my guide) then stop there, as I believe that's about where problematic SPLs first show signs of trouble. Just make sure you get ROMS for 32A.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eva_d:
KarrdeNZ, thanks for your fantastic guide! Are you OK to put it up as a stick thread within this forum?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:
i believe you can only do this with signed roms but this is only from what i have read on here, but to be fair its not hard to root anyway and aslong as your not a dumbass its pretty straight forward and can benefit from bluetooth file sharing and apps2sd and tethering so deffo worth it, opens up your phone to numerous possibilities
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
Sure, not a problem :) I'd prefer the thread link to the guide so that new versions are easy to find, but whatever works.
