I have been unable to put movies on my Vogue. I have tried many different file types and different programs to play those files on. Whenever I copy the file from my PC to my phone, a message appears saying that this file may not be able to play on the device. How can I put video files on to my phone? Any help would be appreciated!
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Use WMV (it's compatible with the built-in WMP) or, even better, purchase CorePlayer, which is able to play almost all video formats.
[General Topics] kujo_kjc:
yeah bro, juz try coreplayer..it'll work for most video format..or you can try snychronising your video files with ur pc's windows media player using activesync (xp) or WMDV (vista), this will convert the files to a playable format.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
Props to zinx for pointing it out, this is just an automated script for the nooblets.

gather up your apk's (mainly the ones in /system/app although maybe some other applications have some as well) and throw them where you'd like

copy paste this:

#!/bin/bash
echo -n > apks.txt
echo -n > output.txt
for x in `find . -name "*.apk"`
do
unzip -p $x | strings | grep -i "android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo $x >> apks.txt
fi
done
for x in `cat apks.txt`
do
mkdir "$x.folder"
mv $x $x.folder
done
for x in `cat apks.txt`
do
unzip -d $x.folder $x.folder/$x
done
for x in `cat apks.txt`
do
bin2xml $x.folder/AndroidManifest.xml > $x.folder/AndroidManifest.decoded.xml
done
for x in `find . -name "AndroidManifest.decoded.xml"`
do
echo "$x:" >> output.txt
cat $x | grep -i host | sed 's/android:host=\"/*#*#/' | sed 's/\" \/>/#*#*/' | sed 's/\t\t\t\t\t//' >> output.txt
done

save as secrets.sh (on your computer)

download this: http://android-random.googlecode.com/files/axml2xml.pl

rename it to bin2xml and make sure it's somewhere in your $PATH

chmod a+x secrets.sh
./secrets.sh
cat output.txt

you should get output of a bunch of codes you can enter into your dialer.

cyanogen mod 3.6.8.1 output:

$ cat output.txt
./Phone.apk.folder/AndroidManifest.decoded.xml:
./VoiceDialer.apk.folder/AndroidManifest.decoded.xml:
*#*#8351#*#*

(of course *#*#gtalk#*#* wouldn't work, but all the ones with numbers do, again it's a primitive script for ease of use)

enjoy :)

oh yea.. for clarification:

*#*#8255#*#* -> Google Talk Service Monitor (Talk.apk)
*#*#4636#*#* -> Testing / Debug info (Settings.apk)

Excuse the ignorance - but what are these used for/good for?
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
wondering myself

im also wondering what it is good for to. O mystical haykuro care to explain a little more.....
[G1 Android Development] youuishype:
im guessing you setup what he said, and u put in whatever code you inserted for the w.e app you want to run? lol
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
It makes sense, it hides apps, and makes them only open if you dial that string of numbers and symbols

edit: After actually reading the code, it seems to just enable some special debugging type logs, not just any app.
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
somewhat.. Talk.apk (google talk) for example, isn't hidden, just has a hidden class that users can't access unless you type in it's corresponding code.
[G1 Android Development] johnnylicious:
very interesting...
[G1 Android Development] drpfenderson:

Thanks for this - now it makes me feel like a spy. :)

[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
wow

very interesting must try it now
[G1 Android Development] hgmarcia:
This is so cool I just did that
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Yes, many phones have a "secret code" interface for accessing hidden operations. Does this mean Android apps could register their own secret codes?
[G1 Android Development] SRT102JZ:
pretty much useless but cool
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
known unknowns are never useless. thanks haykuro
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Ummm...in all fairness this isn't a dev topic. Plenty of other threads that were closer to developmental topics got trashed.

People as good as Haykuro should lead by example, not encourage posting in incorrect forums.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
to each his own.. you do have the right to be wrong... perfectly fair... these codes might help in debugging later? isn't debugging part of developing?
[G1 Android Development] N3xt2N0N3:
Oh here we go again
[G1 Android Development] pistol4413:
I believe it is sir!
[G1 Android Development] Lakers3408:
Why do some people feel the need to play Thread Police. :rolleyes:

Thanks for this Haykuro!
[G1 Android Development] rgv151:
Very interesting.., but we are able to access these hidden functions using Spare Parts, right?
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
I am not trying to play "thread police". And you can rationalize Haykuro's actions anyway you want. If you believe it is development related, then that is your opinion. I simply stated mine.

I am only pointing out the unfairness of the action. One should not be allowed to rule-break simply because of status or power. It's like OJ all over again. Moreover, let's see how many people flame me because of their affection for Haykuro. Hell, I know what the man has done. I like him too. He may recall when a certain Italian blogger took him to task about being two-faced, and I made it a point to create an account and point out how foolish her statements were.

As the poster above me stated , "To each, his own".
[G1 Android Development] RTX:
what secret class?

what is it used for?

why do i want to do it ?
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
Be nice if there was a secret code to enable root. :-D Then, it could potentially open all android devices.

Regardless, thanks Haykuro for bringing this to us and thanks zinx for pointing it out!
[G1 Android Development] jady:
These codes are just what I have been looking for. They exist on all phones to enable certain options that are not supposed to be user configurable. Is there a code that can access the voice encription and change it to 13k?

Also can you access the slot setting to make the G1 ping the towers more often?
[G1 Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
App possibility?

Is there a way to make an app for this like spare parts?
[G1 Android Development] ModernMonk:
FYI: the way the dialer works is to broadcast an intent with a URI matching the secret code. You find these in the script because it searches each apps manifest that defines the intent-filters, which is how the OS knows to launch those programs. So maybe this thread can be related to development...

What would be spectacularly awesome is if there was a program on the myTouch that unlocked it from the operator. I have a t-mobile myTouch that is completely useless to me unless I can get my AT&T sim working on it. I can't access the file system or any part of it right now, but if anyone has one out there and wants to post the secret codes, they would be really cool.
[G1 Android Development] smartin4166:
How about the fine example of "leading" by all of these "senior" members acting like children and arguing about nothing? Thanks haykuro!
[G1 Android Development] jacsonmoore3:
this out my league..this is all for the geeks
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
You fail, sir.

So, creating a script to support the use of these functions, which haykuro did, and then giving it to people and giving them information on how to use and understand it ISNT development?

Well DAMN! We ought to just go ahead and remove every single thread that has user tools and instructions on how to use them, right?

Please attempt to use your brain before you decry something. If you dont understand the definition of DEVELOPMENT, dont try to negate that definition with circular logic and comparisons to OJ.

@OP: thanks very much for the script haykuro, always nice to have some new little toys to play with.
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
Well Done. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] weasel5i2:
And back on topic..............

These secret strings don't appear to be in the system apk files which were extracted from the AT&T Backflip. Or, at least, I can't get these instructions to work properly, as the perl script fails with an "Out of memory" error. So, I used aapt and apktool to snoop around in the strings the hard way, and no such luck.

**EDIT** Never mind, I found two .apks with strings: Settings.apk and VoiceDialer.apk

Settings.apk:

<data android:scheme="android_secret_code" android:host="4636">

VoiceDialer.apk:

<data android:scheme="android_secret_code" android:host="8351">

<data android:scheme="android_secret_code" android:host="8350">

/**EDIT**

[System Dump]Motorola Backflip Blur_Version.0.1.1199.MB300.ATT.en.US

Still picking away at this thing. I noticed that Setup.apk has the system account ownership/UID sharing, and android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission. If I am able to hack it into setting ro.debuggable to ON, wouldn't it then allow adb root?

Will apktools allow me to tamper with and recompile a new Setup.apk?

Will the phone allow me to adb uninstall the stock Setup.apk?

Will the phone allow me to install/reinstall the modified Setup.apk?

So many questions.. *still hacking, poking, prodding..* I'll post results and anything I find here and also on backflipforums.

ive been searching on google for lyk a week now im going to kill somebody if i cant find working settings

i know this part of the forum is specifically for dash's so i hope i wont get the same retard answers lyk "use the text service"

if anyone cud help i would be eternally eternally grateful

______________________________________________________

lol. i cant believe i didnt write the ROM and stuff

windows mobile 6.1 and pay as you go
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
What ROM you using? Are you on contract or pay as go, just that connection setup has contract, but the pay as you go is different and they block ports so no pop3 or imap4 :(

I had to use a .cab on Tilt to set up pay as you go, the connection settings are available though.

http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...tings&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Not sure if this .cab will work as only used on Tilt if not manual input it is. o2 are well cheaky with the 200MB package blocking email but i just use gmail in mini.
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
SMTP and IMAP4 works fine on PAYG O2 Internet for me, have the £7.50 Web bolt on and working through ProfiMail no problem - even SSL IMAP4 on port 993 works fine.

I think that O2 unblocked that restriction some time ago as it has been fine for me for almost a year. I'm using the standard PAYG access point details.

If the CAB doesn't work, the settings are:

Connects to: The Internet

APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username: vertigo

Password: password

Should be all you need.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thanks for info, i'll give that a shot but know that even recent posts people had same problem with o2 and u using diffeent port than the ones that blocked.
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
Well IMAP on the standard port 143 and POP3 also work fine, so suggest it may be a problem with their account? :)

good luck
[HTC Excalibur] demolicious:
if somebody could give me a step by step guide please.
[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
Start > Settings > Connections > GPRS

Menu > Delete any connections that are there already, but if you have one that says "Auto configure connection", ignore it.

Menu > Add

Description: O2

Connects to: The Internet

Access Point: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username: vertigo

Leave everything else and press Done, and keep going Done until you are back at the home screen.

Make sure WiFi is switched off and try and use an Internet application. It should work fine.

Good luck!

On the Fuze...

1. Is there a way to see how long each phone call was (timer)? When i go into "Call History" - it only shows the date (or if the call was from today - shows the time) but you never can tell how long you were on that particular call for.

2. What time that call took place? - After a day goes by as it only shows the date?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] paperWastage:
if you click on the call, it should show the call date, time and duration

absolutely beautiful... although the app drawer looks like a non functioning clock to me... the green is by far my fav as i have been looking for a theme to match the exploding/melting android-guy wallpaper. any chance of someone letting me know if theres a way to get a green or black htc_ime to complete this baby! also a white or gray style might look sweet also. no matter what thanks for practically reading my mind. i wanted a green colored hero theme... not anymore... well kinda but this is my new favorite!

i need a right arm, i was looking at one of those at best buy, too expensive tho. but all jokes aside, once i finish with everything ill look into it.

Ill think about it. Maybe ill surprise you. Im a run out of colors soon. Its going to have some orange so its not all completely colorless. Just the buttons when you press on them.
[Android Themes] daveid:
Funny you should all be talking about this.. I just modified the Prodigal Sun icon pack to be all blue. It may not be perfect, and you have to remove (if you already have it installed) the original icon pack first. Sooo.. Here ya go!

Figured I needed to give something back, and color replacing icons for one color didn't take me too long.

As is the norm around here, just remove the .zip from the end of the file name so it ends in .apk (those with hidden extensions should un-hide them).

I am attaching some screenshots, for those who want to see it before trying it.

Any chance of getting the dialer from teds hero theme for the green pack... or can someone maybe tell me how i can do it? i love this dialer! with this theme it would rock! i doubt Ted417 would mind if you credit him!
[Android Themes] beagz:
As far as changing the dialer I believe you can just swap contacts.apk but that may also causw other changes.

Regarding htc music the default start location cannot be changed easily. I wouldn't know where to start. But I have installed blue on top of dark hero and then just copied Music.apk to system/app and it works perfectly. Did not need to resign or anything else.

3.9e blue

Music.apk from any htcmusic update pack
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
Next update will come with htc music and skined. Beagz i havent forgot about the smoke.apk you gave me. Its still sitting in my next update folder. Im just being lazy cause i have to make 5 more colors and do the .9.png's, lol.
[Android Themes] agent2594:
That would be good, but it sounds like sir*mez is going to do that anyway so I'll just wait. In the meantime, I'll experiment and see if I can narrow down what's causing these issues.

EDIT: So regarding the notification dropdown, I'm an idiot. I didn't see the CM v3.6.1 changelog note that says you can't do that if you have the pattern lock enabled. I'm still waiting on the next update with HTCMusic in it to see how that works.
[Android Themes] sir*mez:
if im going to do this, im going to have to modifiy it so that its more prodigal sun and not hero.
