Wether or not I have a rooted G1, should I always try to have the latest radio and SPL, even if the ROM doesn't require it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
If you don't have root you can't flash your ROM, radio or SPL. AFAIK There has only been the android 1.1 and 1.5 Radios, so they don't come along too often. If you're on a 1.1 ROM then you should be on the 1.1 radio, same with 1.5, you should be on the 1.5 Radio. SPL is your choice depending on what you want. I use Hayuro's because it supports all ROMs, but some prefer Hard SPL. If your ROM doesn't need a different SPL, wether you want to install it is your choice.

Think it may have gotten sand in during a trip to the beach, and now SD cards dont click into place, and the unit doesnt recognise them, i took the back off and cant see anything obvious or bent pins. Dont suppose anyone has any advice before i give up on it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
The locking mechanism for your card reader is a small spring that is attached to a metallic pin inside the card reader itself. The way it works, obviously, is it latches on the way in and lets go when the card is pushed again. Can be 2 things - either you pushed a card in with too much force and broke (disloged) the pin, or the spring became detached. The only way to fix it is by opening and re-assembling the card reader, however, the metallic outer cover is difficult to remove and place back, I suggest you discuss the matter with a technician.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarvox:
Forgive my ignorance, but ive never used android before and expecting my phone delivered tomorrow (htc hero! :D)

As i understand it, the android app store signs the apps similar to iphones itunes store to prevent piracy and malware.

Is this correct?

Ive read about how one can "root" the device by loading a image file thru the bootloader over usb, but i wonder, is there a sudo command or similar to temporarily enable root access and later return to default state?

I suppose i could flash it with the root image, install the app and then flash back the default os image, but that feels pretty awkward procedure and would probably raise a bunch of new problems as how the default os would launch the app installed under another os.

I was hoping to start tinkering with programming, but im unsure if i can "throw in the app" and expect it to work..?

After using mac´s for over 20 years ive become too used to stuff just working right out of the box, so i dont feel like experimenting on my own... :P :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ovek:
There is an option in the settings that lets you install unsigned apps, so no rooting required. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Not exactly! Many paid apps are copy protected, but most of the free ones are not. Unlike the iPhone, where you can only install "unauthorized" apps if you jail break the device, Android allows you to install and run applications from a variety of sources on a stock device.

In essence, you do not need to root the device to develop for it, but there are certain things that applications can only be done on a rooted device (for example, receiving a file via Bluetooth, WiFi tethering etc).

Well, programming errors aside ( ;) ), and as long as you don't need to do anything that requires root privileges, yes you can. You should bear in mind that the *vast* majority of Android devices will not have been rooted, and therefore the vast majority of available applications do not require rooted phones.

Personally, I expect that later Android builds will remove many of the restrictions that require applications to have root access, so that they can function without requiring a device to be rooted.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarvox:
Ive found a app that would tether my laptop (mac) over wifi, but requires me to root the device.

Is there a way to temporarily do this, install the app and make the neccisary changes and then switch back to default state?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I don't believe so.

As far as I'm aware, the application requires the elevated privileges when it runs as opposed to just configuration changes. I don't think that even a setuid would help, since I believe the app expects to find and use su/sudo.

Regards,

Dave
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
To start off, I want to say I have used the search function. I have been google'ing and searching the entire xda forums for well over 2 days, and i just can't find anything. Maybe i am google/searching incorrectly.

Anyways...

I was wondering if either someone could describe how the CPR file works in terms of tags like FORM, LAYER, etc. (not those two because they are self-explanitory, but along those lines). Also does anyone know what all the possible tags that can be used in that file are? I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have searched for tutorials, sdk notes, CPR file structure, everything i can think of, and I have yet to get an actual guide (although I did find a couple of cool Apps to use for customizing CPR files visually)...

Thank you in advance

Hi,

If WiFi is enabled does it prevent the 3G/2G from working & vice-versa ???

Or is my phone signal just too weak :confused:

Thanks

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexperkins:
if you are connected a wifi network, then 2g/3g data is turned off
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil_UK:
I see....so will some apps only work with 2G/3G or will they all use WiFi easily?

Reason I ask is I was trying to use G-Backup and it just froze, so I thought perhaps it could only upload on 2G/3G and not WiFi ? Or am I being silly :D

Thanks

Phil
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexperkins:
All apps *should* use wifi easily. At the end of the day, its just an alternate data connection (the phone automatically routes data to the wifi or 3g/2g depending on what is available anyhow)

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jubeh:
i read the thread and didn't see info about this, the theme you made, which cm version is it based on? I'm assuming 3.9.7, right?

Also, which parts have you modified? From what I can tell right now, it was only framework-res.apk, launcher.apk, and alarmclock.apk. Since you packaged the whole thing, I don't know if you made any changes elsewhere.

We should suggest cyanogen to make this default on his builds. It's a very, very subtle change (just the framework-res and launcher changes) and it doesn't look bad at all.

Lastly, about the android ****-arms, you have to make the whole canvas 3 times larger. More specifically, the actuall drawn part of the arm has to be 1/3rd the height of the whole png, then you'll get the effect you're looking for.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] pistol4413:

You do realize the colors are picked for 'CYAN'ogen and his modded roms right? Even his boot screen is cyan now so I think thats why people are moving towards the cyan themes and images.

Also, I'm trying not to drastically change the android interface (possibly in hopes

Cyanogen will want to put some of this in his builds) but I am looking for subtle

changes that can be made. I'm welcoming any and all suggestions/artwork donations

to make this theme better and more widely accepted. But, please keep in mind that

this is a "Cyanogenized" android theme. I refuse to drastically change system app

icons and other features that would take away any android "authenticness."

Lastly, I'm accepting ideas for changes that could be made to the (very few) parts

The normal drawer tab for the landscape mode is 320 pixels tall. it needs to be only 295 (the other 25 pixels are taken up by the taskbar), otherwise, it doesn't center correctly (you notice it when you select it, it shifts to one side) It looks like you just took the finished portrait tab and flipped it on it's side to make the landscape one, but you forgot to knock those 25 pixels off the top.

and, ok, here's a suggestion, maybe a request. Could you work out all the orange from framework-res.apk and turn it cyan?
