I would like an app with no GUI. I want to be able to assign it a quick launch key and I want to to kill all tasks when pressed.

Sometimes my phone gets so SLOW that I want to just restart it. But it takes a long time to boot so it's a catch 22.

I have a Taskkiller app but when the phone is going that slow, the app won't even start. I need a quick key press to just kill everything.

Hope someone can make this for me.
[G1 Apps and Games] tinyaznboi:
theyre plenty of these in the market try searching >.< taskiller also has a kill all button but prob doesnt help cause for you it doesntopen.
[G1 Apps and Games] Pinesal:
All the apps I've tried have GUIs so they won't work as a quick launch shortcut.

If you know the name of one that's not a GUI I would appreciate it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Dyonas:
If you have the app "TasKiller" by Thibaut Nicolas from the market it comes with a widget that kills all with one tap. I know it isn't what you were asking for but it may help with what you want until someone else has a better suggestion.
[G1 Apps and Games] deepside7:
taskiller does this

it comes with a widget that will kill all
[G1 Apps and Games] Pinesal:
I have the paid version of taskiller and I love it. But the widget doesn't work if you aren't on the home app.
[G1 Apps and Games] phatmanxxl:
taskiller is a ramkiller...the widget seems to eat up ram for me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igloo77055:
I've been in this rooting game since it began, and I never had a major issue.

Unfortunately now I have come across one, and I believe it may be a Hardware problem, but I'm not entirely sure.

At any rate, the other day I'm on the computer the phone is charging through the usb cable, and while im using it, the back light goes out. I think this is weird.

I lock, and unlock it and everything is back to normal, but when I slid the screen back the back light went out again.

And the home button didn't work either, I doubt this was a problem with Cyan's ROM, or a theme. I do have the new lockscreen but I never had an issue.

So from Cyan's 4.0.4 I upgrade to the experimental version and the problem persists, the back light won't turn on unless the screen is slid up/open (Also, I have no lock screen!? wtf?).

Afterwards I decide to go back to 4.0.4 and even when my phone boots up the back light wont turn on unless the phone is open/screen is slid up. So obviously it seems like a hardware issue.

Anyone else have this problem? or any thoughts about it?

I'm on Cyan's 4.0.4 - no theme

This is a hardware problem. Happened to me too. Been trying to find a solution, but the fact that it still has the same backlight problems when the phone is booting (On the T-mobile G1 screen) shows that's it's way beyond the ROM.

Mine even has the same problems on the recovery screen. Time to find a new G1. If you find a solution, lemmie know. I've been looking for one.

Hey, all!

So I dropped my Raph a few times, and aside from being extremely impressed with its build quality (some scratches, but the screen is sound and everything works great!), I scuffed up my beauty and am looking for help.

The slider works just fine, but it has some give before you slide and it slides way too easily now. (I remember it having some friction before sliding it out.) It also looked slightly scuffed from being dropped.

With that said, I think I need to replace its front and rear housing. The prices for getting new parts look good, but how difficult is it to do?

Thanks!

Well, I've been running Hero for a very long time now, bouncing back and forth between ROMs. I finally settled down on Jac's 3.7.1 Super Lite, which uses the default launcher. However, I have found that I am dropping 1/15 messages or so. Yet, Im in love with the flash, multitouch gallery and touchflo in the apps and am having a hard time letting it go. Are the other updated ROMs having a 100% reliability rate for messaging yet?

I've been reading everywhere about how it is possible to install debian on the HTC Dream.

But I can't find anything about installing it on the HTC Sapphire/Magic.

Is it possible??

Or is the HTC Dream's physical keyboard necessary to input all the commands.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] _Ascetic:
I would like to know this as well. thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] apacheo:
I'd think the need for a physical keyboard would make putting it on the G2 / MT3G / Ion impossible.

Hi, I would really love to know how to do that, either.

I found a youtube clip of debian on a htc magic:

I've successfully installed debian on a htc magic.

OpenGL ES

Hi

Does this version of .NET CF support OpenGL ES? I installed .NET CF V3.7 that was previously posted on the forum but it did not support OpenGL ES? I've got to be able to show off to my friends with Diamond Hologram!

Cheers

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] At0mAng:
I am not sure and I can not test. Give it a try and see :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andrew-in-woking:
Nope!

Hi At0mAng

No, this version of .NET CF does not support OpenGL ES. Back to 3.5 I go. I think MS removed this functionality for some reason.

Thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trixtrem:
Hey guys have used search high and low, and cant seem to find the answer to my current problem, i just recently bought a jasjam, and i love pretty much everything about it, but when the ROM was changed the owner said that the touch screen stopped working. Apparently it was fine before the change, but that it didnt work after. So i figured that it was a software issue, loaded the latest SPL, and relaoded another ROM on the pda. Now the toush screen still doesnt work, but i have noticed that you can tap the screen when asked to get to calibration screen, and tapping the screen will also turn the back light on, but i am unable to calibrate the phone touch screen after the initial tap.

i have since loaded remote screen calibrator, and skip calibrate, and the phone seen to run well, except for the touch screen, on that note i have noticed also that the touch screen will accept one tap when loaded to the today screen, then stop working, i have hard reset, soft rest, changed to latest SPL, and the latest ROM from the forum.

Could it still just be a dodgy touch screen, or does it sound like a software prob to you guys, thanx heaps for the time

Trix
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trixtrem:
Hey guys have had a look round the web, and i get the feeling that perhaps the touch screen driver is screwed and was wondering if there is a way of checking, by replacing just the touch screen driver? i have placed a number of different ROMs on the phone and none of them make any difference to the non working of the touch part.

if someone could let me know if i am wrong in my thinking please let me know

thanx heaps

[G1 Android Development] Metal_Hurlant:
You may have noticed that your Debian processes have a hard time dying on Android, unless you forcefully kill -9 them.

Whether you're trying to shut down your openssh server, or whether you're trying to close your X server, your processes just don't seem to take the hint.

The reason:

/system/bin/sh has an interesting peculiarity: When used as an interactive root shell (when you run "su", or when you connect with an "adb shell", for example), it disables several signals from being received by its children processes. SIGTERM and SIGHUP are notable amongst those because they're often the only way to tell a daemon to refresh or shut itself down.

This impacts Debian because the common deployment method under Android involves running chroot, which requires a root shell to do so.

The fixes:

Ideally, /system/bin/sh would get patched to stop doing this.

Until then, then next best thing is to use a little wrapper like the following

#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main (int argc, char *argv[], char*envp[])
{

sigset_t set;
int i;

/* stop ignoring signals. */
sigfillset(&set);
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL);

i = execve("/bin/bash", argv, envp);
if (i==-1) {
perror("couldn't exec bash:");
}
return i;
}

If you use bootdeb (you shouldn't, but everybody does), compile the above in your debian environment and move the compiled binary under /bin/unbash, then edit the line in bootdeb that starts with "chroot" to say

chroot $mnt /bin/unbash $@

(If you want to remove a bunch of "sleep" commands in bootdeb while you're there, that's cool too.)

Now close all your debian processes, and go back in debian with that modified script.

From then on, you will be able to gracefully terminate any debian process you want.

/etc/init.d/ssh stop will simply work, and so will vncserver -kill :1
[G1 Android Development] von Loxley:
You don't need to do this on HTC´s Hero, as the killing works there.

To test:

bootdeb

invoke-rc.d ssh start

invoke-rc.d ssh stop

ps ax

-> Check for sshd

Kind regards

[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
For us not-so-programmer-savvy, how would one compile this in Debian?
[G1 Android Development] von Loxley:
gcc -Os -o unbash unbash.c

On your cellular, not on your desktop.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Pardon my ignorance, but I receive an error upon trying just that:

gcc: unbash.c: No such file or directory

gcc: no input files

I'm guessing I should copy your quoted code in there somehow, but I'm pretty clueless as to how I would do that. Would you care to tell me how I would do that?
[G1 Android Development] Chinpokomon:
Yes, copy the above code into a file called unbash.c. How you write the text file is an exercise left up to the reader as there are a million and 6 ways to do it.
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
Got it working after I looked into gcc a little bit. One question I have now is that I always get "permission denied" when I try to launch Debian with chroot set as /bin/unbash.

I've done a chmod 0755 to /bin/unbash/* prior to launching Debian with chroot set as /bin/unbash, but I still get permission denied and have to change chroot back to the default location in bootdeb.

Sorry to be a bother in this thread, I'm hoping this will be my last problem.

[Touch Pro CDMA] Fyras:
Hey guys...

Went away this weekend.. But before I did I managed to get Oncourse 8 running on my phone.

Its a full fledged GPS program. And it worked like a charm on the way up....

However once I got there.. things got screwy.

Now whenever I try to get the GPS receiver to work... the phone either crashes and restarts... or the gps fails to connect.

This happens both in OC8... and Google Maps.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Fyras:
Oh.. and a potentially related side note: The phone seems to lockup when its being charged.

Somethings going on...

Phone: Touch Pro (CDMA)

Carrier: Telus (canada)

[Touch Pro CDMA] kilroy1stcav:
I also use OCN8 and it works like a dream. I use NFSFan's Rom and have no problems with it, I have traveled 4 hours with it running one way and then back and it ran great, the only thing is sometimes if I get a call while running it closes, but all I have to do is restart.

The touchscreen of my Verizon Titan decided not to work anymore (it does weird things and sometimes it doesn't work at all for minutes).

I tried to reinstall the ROM but same result... I cannot even calibrate the screen.

I can use the insurance to have it replaced, paying $50 deductible, or get a new one for the same amount renewing my contract.

I can get a Touch Pro, a Touch Pro Diamond, an Ozone or a Vogue(XV6900).

what do you think?

thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Why cant you just get a free replacement through verizon. If you have the insurance with extended warranty.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xmkgenzo:
that's the term of the insurance... $50 deductible.

I'll go to the Verizon store and see what I can get.

I'll probably go for a Diamond.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
No listen dude. If you have TEC which insurance plus extended warranty then any non physical damage is covered free through Verizon(I think it is the 5.99 insurance). An insurance claim is only needed if you physically break the phone or have it stolen or get it wet. Overwise all warranty or phone dieing issues are covered under the extended warranty and Verizon will replace it free. A cracked screen that causes touchscreen failure will be an insurance claim but if the touch screen just dies then it is free free free with the TEC insurance option.

I really don't know why people think they have to pay to get a phone replaced when it is free 75% of the time with the extended warranty.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xmkgenzo:
cool. I'll go and see what they can do for me!

prob I need to put a stock ROM on that...just in case. ;)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] terra-:
I have very similar insurance, when my PPC6800 took a crap. They actually upgraded me to a Diamond Touch because they didn't have any more Titans...all for free. Insurance can be a beautiful thing....sometimes.:D
[Mogul, XV6800 General] SecretAgentMan:
I agree. With insurance, Verizon should just give you a replacement without a deductible. You can even do it over the phone. They'll ship it to you overnight, and you don't have to go to a store and have someone eyeball it.

I just received a replacement for my xv6800. Unfortunately, it was another xv6800, but it works fine.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xmkgenzo:
they are sending me another one!

of course they tried to let me go for the upgrade. first my phone back, then I might think about an upgrade.

BTW the new touch pro 2 is coming out on the 11th...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xmkgenzo:
after a wrong shipment (they sent me an horrible smartphone) I finally got a new Titan.

flashed bootloader, radio and a WM 6.5 ROM (RM light).

my GPS is not working anymore. I searched the forum and read that it might be a PRI with locked GPS.

is there a way to change the PRI without downgrading to an old stock ROM (which one) and then reflash?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xmkgenzo:
I can confirm that flashing back to Verizion Stock 2.09 and then back to the custom ROM (WM 6.5 RM light 2.1) fixed the GPS problem.

not sure why since the PRI is the same of my previous installation of the WM 6.5 ROM (PRI 2.03_002)...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
The pri got changed by the custom rom. The problem lies when the PRi is changed by MR1/2. This change blocks gps which is what is on all refurbish xv6800.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xmkgenzo:
so just to recap -as a lesson learnt. When you get a refurbished XV6800 it has MR1/2 with locked GPS in the PRI. if you flash a custom ROM the PRI doesn't overwrite the GPS settings so you need to flash back to a pre-GPS ROM (2.09) and then flash to the custom ROM.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
That is correct.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] TeleFragger:
be glad mine was $100 insurance deductible...

wow... that would have been nice...

http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx

I'm not endorsing attempting to overclock anything. The last thing I ever overclocked what a celeron 300, to 450Mhz back in the day LOL, but, for you

hard core types, might want to head over there and read the thread. THE APPLICATION IS NOT AVAILABLE to download yet, I suppose he wants to really make sure your TP does not burst into flames, or cause a rift in the time space thingy :eek:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iceman4357:
I read through the whole thing. It looks very promising, but is in its starting stages. Hopefully we can see something good come out of it. If we pick up a few hunderd MHZ, im sure it will greatly help the phone out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] p51d007:
Yeah, I've been following the thread also. If they can get it to work...I'm thinking it would be a trade off. Yes, I'll bet anything these chips are a bit underclocked, but, I'm also believing they are underclocked to remain stable.

Plus, anytime you run one over the specs, it just has to have a marked decrease in battery life, and it almost has to heat it up a bit. Those electrons can only run around inside that tiny package so fast before they heat up :rolleyes:

1 - How do i change my theme? It was easy when i was using a Diamond, but now with HD.. everytime i try to download and install a theme here, it just doesn't work and at times keep getting my phone hanging on black screen! :( im getting bored with my standard theme and tabs. (FYI, i have no clue what manila i am at.. all i know my is wm6.1)

2 - Looking for a solid dictionary, ram cleaner or some good applications to enhance my usage of Blackstone / HD

3 - Finally but not least, some of this post are talking about Gyrate 2. Can i use it? without screwing my phone?

Again guys, i am terribly sorry to throw this same ol same old questions which im sure u guys get alot of it. But really need some help... please and thank you!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
1 - It depends on which ROM you have, with wich Manila version. If you install the wrong one, there's a chance you'll screw up a lot of graphic things. If i can suggest you a theme, try Dusk (search here). There are versions for standard ROM, for ROM's with Manila 2.0, Manila 2.1, Manila 2.5 and Manila 2.6: it's all matter of choosing the right one.

2a - Language? English?

2b - Ram Cleaner, try htcAddicts CleanRam (search here)

2c - Which kind of apps do you need? Tell me your needs, i'll tell you your apps

3 - You can use Gyrator2, but in my opinion Changescreen (search here) is better
