[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jirafabo:
Thank you good sir!

I guess this will make me wait to update apps all at once, maybe like once a week. That way we can fix all the problems at once, instead of two or three times daily as each app updates.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] posguy99:
Neither. You want to remove the contents of the directory, not the directory itself.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jirafabo:
Oh boy... now I'm confused. I was about two seconds from running "rm -rf /data/boot-cache"

I was under the impression from reading this thread that it would clean it out and on reboot all the needed files would be recreated...???
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jirafabo:
thanks for the reply as well. all this stuff is new to me. first root/flash etc. picking it up nicely though with the help of everyone here and at ppc. thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
Your command removes the directory.

You want:

rm -rf /data/boot-cache/*

That removes the contents of the directory.

Then just type reboot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jirafabo:
ok appreciate the help, little confused though, your first post said to remove the whole directory, or at least I read it that way, and it looks like others did too. will either way work. sounds like leaving the directory would be a better option though, just the files that are the problem.

ran it as you said, with the * on end. is there a way to tell if it cleared out the directory?

i tried to do

\# cd /data/boot-cache/ to get into that directory but it wouldn't let me (trying to learn commands on the fly)

(trying to learn and thought that ls stood for "list" from what i saw earlier
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jirafabo:
Ok last reply. 1st, thanks again for the people who have worked on this issue, in this thread. Thanks for the direct replies as well.

I first tried cleaning out the directory with "rm -rf /data/boot-cache/*" on reboot, nothing had changed.

then i tried "rm -rf /data/boot-cache/" and noticed it took a bit (about 10 seconds) longer to process. on reboot my icons and app titles were correct. so looks like it's working by deleting the entire directory.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] goku14238:
thank you, I got it to work
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gqukyo:
I did the "rm -rf /data/boot-cache/" and it worked for me... haven't rebooted afterwards yet to see if the fix is perm...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thecodemonk:
The fix works great...until you upgrade an app again (then you have to do it all over again). So it's still a temporary fix for now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] searocko:
Cool, not only did this fix the icon naming issue, it fixed my Voice Dialing app. Mine stopped working after awhile and this fixed it!

Thanks to everyone on this forum for the helpful tips and tricks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gqukyo:
Definitely a temporary fix... but here's something to think about. I was told from another Hero user that this happens to certain apps that are force closed by task killers... I'm going to leave the phone alone and not have my task killer kill any processes and see if that works...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thecodemonk:
I don't have any task killers installed so I suspect it's a deeper issue than that (I haven't had any installed since setting the thing back to stock with Sprints RUU)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
I hadn't used any task killers when this started happening to me. One of my apps (NY Times) force closed on its own and it was all down hill after that. I did a hard reset and the next time it happened it was Google Listen that crashed and took my phone down with it.... or at least the icons. It isn't task killer related for sure.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
/data and /system are different mounts. No matter how often you remount /system it will never change /data

/data shouldn't be a read-only system though. That's where downloaded apps get stored, along with their data. It gets written to all the time. Try rebooting and trying again
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Negrito:
the command worked, but on reboot nothing had changed.

same read only error.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bray424:
To everyone getting read-only errors with the "rm -rf" command, I was getting the same thing and tried it without the confirm switch "rm -r" and it worked fine.

Also, I know absolutely nothing about programming, but would it be possible to create an Android app that simply ran this command, sort of like a one-touch boot cache flush?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Negrito:
Thanks for the tip, ill try it when I get back to my laptop.

That would be cool, or even like something like a mortscript on WinMo.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] benisntfunny:
The program names will fix in the App selection but not if you have them saved to your home screen. You'll have to re-add those.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gqukyo:
I just used DroidExplorer to delete the folder and it works fine. Still annoying that I have to do it every so often... =T
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] maedhros77:
Ok, I must be doing something wrong here... Every time I attempt to use the command to delete the cache folder it says the folder doesnt exist... But my apps still all have the names wrong. Ive even attempted deleting the whold /data/ folder (after nandroid backup of course), and nothing happened. I still have all of my apps, with the names corrupted. On a side note I am also unable to get the apps2sd thing to work as it will not see the folders /data/app/ or /data/app-private/ as well. I have the Sprint HTC Hero, stock ROM, and i do have root. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
Copy and paste the commands and results here.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] shifty50:
not exactly a one-touch, but I use Better Terminal Emulator and have assigned shortcuts to speed up the process.

VOLUME UP= ls /data/boot-cache/*

VOLUME DN= rm -r /data/boot-cache/*

pretty speedy alternative, which I take no credit for as I found it posted somewhere on here. also assign Initial command= "su" (w/o "") to save an additional step
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] antyoukos3:
I have TYTN II with WM6.1

I have a problem, witch is when i choose any other keyboard or languages already installed in the system he refuse to do it and stick to the main keyboard come with system.. he make the change after some soft reset i make..

i believe its something belong to registry ..

i faced this problem with my old PDA I-mate JamIn with WM5

how can i fix this..??

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] votec:
Why upgrading?

Please add feedback: pluses...minuses?

...wm 6.5 : high Ram use, possible memory leak, buggs...(?)

so why upgrade? Because its "new" ?...is it something like pc-s xp to vista?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SlimJ87D:
I found Windows MObile 6.5 had a nicer interface. It feels a like a few generations ahead of 6.1 because 6.1 is a lot like WM5 and its predecessors.

It's become like the iphone and android with application screens in the start menu and now has a dedicated marketplace where you can purchase more applications. It already has over 500 applications and that number increases by the day! Seeing that WM6.5 just came out you can expect even more applications to come out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Spike15:
I didn't know there was any competition.

Since I upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5, I haven't seen a single reason to go back...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
WM6.1: Faster, less battery hungry

WM6.5: Nicer UI graphics, finger friendly
[Android Software Development] rolls1400:
Has anyone been able to display the multimedia dock screen without the dock. I know you can display the car home screen but it would be nice to be able to display the multimedia dock screen without having to pay the 30 for the dock.

I assume it could be as simple as someone creating an app that just executes that application, no?

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/U...toid=e17133289d704210VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD
[Android Software Development] fr4nk13:
Both docks can be triggered by magnets. That's what you're paying $30 for when you get the docks.

Paul Miller from Engadget made his own "dock" with just a piece of cardboard and some ball magnets..

You can see the video here

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/how-to-hack-your-own-droid-dock-with-magnets-and-cardboard/
[Android Software Development] rolls1400:
Ya I saw that, the magnets are just another form of input. Its the same as clicking an icon, it executes a piece of code to display that screen. There has to be a way to see what code is being executed when the magnets are used.
[Android Software Development] SinisterX:
That is true, however according to Paul, the multimedia screen is not an app that is launched. Only the car mode has a true "app".
[Android Software Development] msucoleman:
Look up Dockrunner in the market and I think you will find what you are looking for.
[Android Software Development] rolls1400:
Thanks!! Exactly what I was looking for.

:D
[Android Software Development] velazcod:
Or you can just use Bedside, which has more features as the Multimedia Dock App, or maybe even more, except for weather (yet)... and I have had that app in the market since january.

It now works for the Droid and supports the Dock, and turns off notifications while its opened and lets you control all that stuff, check it out
[Android Software Development] msucoleman:
Yeah it works pretty well, but I got up this morning and could not get it out of the program and landscape even after I shut down the app. I had to just restart the phone to get it back to normal. Other than that though.

crackertc - I took a look at it and I'm thinking that I might just have to try that out. Good job.
[Android Software Development] Bunsen Honeydew:
You have to open the app drawer and run dockrunner again to take it out of multimedia dock mode, as it says in the directions.
[Android Software Development] wadiesel:
I read somewhere they were going to ship the phone with the dock, like as an included accessory when you purchased the phone from Verizon. Sadly.....Big Red must have seen a way to make a buck and done away with those plans just in time for launch date!
[Android Themes] wedlled:
Hello,

First post and allready asking stuff.

I'm starting on making themes and although I have read a lot of stuff I can't get it.

Major questions:

- Do I need to have a custom rom to make themes? Can I install a theme on a standard, factory clean android magic?

- What are those RC33, Rc30, etc... And how do I know what do I have?

At the moment I have a stock HTC magic 32A. The only non standard thing in it, is it's rooted.

The build number only says: CL#33743 (no RC stuff...).

Any help would be appreciate.
[Android Themes] smurf:
take a look at this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=519924
[Android Themes] wedlled:
Hey smurf... thnks for the answer.

I've allready readed that post (and most of the links in it), and still got the same questions.

They only talk about G1/dream and all those RCXX... The problem my magic says CL#33743. Am I missing something here? Do I need to install a RCXX image?
[Android Themes] smurf:
afaik you have to be rooted to install themes, an exception is when you are using a home replacement.

RC stands for Release Candidate and its just a version numbering thing i guess...
[Android Themes] wedlled:
Hello again...

Yeah, I tried instead of just asking.

After a few more reading I realise I was making some confusion. I have a rooted phone so I just adb pull the files I needed to theme (framework-res, htclauncher, etc...) changed the drwable files and adb push them again :)

It's kinda of what a update.zip does but with more files. Nothing better that trying :)

Now I just don't know why some people ressign apk's, but I guess a little more reading will fix that too.

Thnaks for your help smurf.

This is really annoying when am in the middle of a movie and i pause and press the home screen or do some other stuf on the phone but when i go back to the album to continue I ll have to start al over again.

Isnt there something like a taskbar where programs not terminated are minimized until they are reopened or terminated.?

Please advise

The only Taskmanager like app is press and hold the Home key, you will get up a list of the previous 6 running programs. Whether or not they will put you back in the same place as you were before is dependant on Android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3lly2:

Did you try redownloading the file? Sounds like its corrupted. Do you already have root? Do you already have RA's or Cyanogen's recovery image installed? Get those installed if you don't already, and redownload the file.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Phantom1275:
I own a bluetooth stereo headset, and I'm used to controling the music player using the headset buttons (bluetooth AVRCP) since I had a Touch Cruise.

Now, for the Xperia, I've been testing some ROMs (Touch X 10.8.2, latest Valkyrie releases, both Energy ROMs and Jack's V3xx and V4xx) but none of them gave me AVRCP in HTC's player (AudioManager), only in WMP.

I also tried some suggested fixes (the one in Jack's thread, Itje's BlackStone Audiomanager cab, extracted audiomanager.exe from Daran's BlackStone TouchFLO 3D cab), but either I get a certificate error or they don't work.

Is there a ROM with latest TouchFLO 3D (HTC Sense) and with bluetooth AVRCP working in Audiomanager? Or an actually working fix?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauner1986:
I gave up on this a long time ago.. It seems that it's just not working on Xperia. But of course, i would be interested in a solution, too :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] sonus:
Wow, new ROMs lack this core functionality? What about when playing music from the panel manager?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phoenixnr:
I'll jump on here too, been waiting a looong time for this one. What is the issue exactly? Is it the OS the app? Some minor improvements under windows media player makes me believe its the app but then not so much when i havent had any success since 6.0....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
I tested and it definitely working w/ my rom (make sure you copy w/ Resco Explorer). But by enable this w/ the new manila will cause your playlist lost after reset.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fu-raz:
Something that is also annoying is that the Xperia automatically connects the bluetooth headset, but doesn't automatically connect the A2DP to the same device.

So everytime I step in the car, I have to go to bluetooth settings to click on the XPLOD device (that's already connected) to connect the A2DP. Is there a fix for this?

This combined with the HTC player not working with AVRCP, means that I have to get up 10 minutes earlier to listen to music in the car when I go to work :P ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] phoenixnr:
This thread got me looking again and for those with issues check out the On The Road panel . Fully working AVRCP plus a cool panel to boot!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Phantom1275:
I have tried, but with Total Commander, not Resco Explorer.

With your fix I get a certificate error, but I'll try again.

fu-raz, this automatic connection depends on the bluetooth device. Example: I had two different bluetooth headsets. With the first, when I connected it to the phone, it was connected as a handsfree, and I myself had to go to bluetooth, advanced, and set it as a stereo headset.

With the last, at first it was connected as a handsfree, but I only had to press the "call" button on the headset control, and then it was connected as a stereo headset.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] gauner1986:
Could you please be so kind and attach your working AudioManager.exe or cab or sth.? Tried many by copying into Windows folder with resco and always got the not signed error.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Phantom1275:
I did test jackleung fix, and got a certificate error.

Any other suggestions?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] fu-raz:
I will look into this!

The thing with my device is, it acts as both. It's my car radio. It sets up a headset AND a stereo headset connection. The thing is, one connects automatically, the other doesn't. I will see if I can use the on the road panel if I can find it!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Phantom1275:
On The Road panel does not help me.

Yeah, I know Xperia is capable of doing AVRCP in other applications (e.g. WMP).

What I want is AVRCP working in TouchFLO 3D music tab, that is, HTC Audiomanager.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
I am busy w/ my new kitchen now. Let me build a 6.5 med rom w/ AVRCP later to prove it's working ;p (but be aware the bug I pointed out)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Phantom1275:
Ok, I'll be waiting for it. Hope it works.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jackleung:
Here you go. This rom is just a prove of concept that AVRCP does work on

MY

rom with my fix (not guarantee to work w/ others). And it does has bug that playlist cannot survive after soft-reset.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Phantom1275:
Hi Jack.

Yeah, it really works! I don't know about the playlist-softreset bug (can you explain it to me?), but at least I have AVRCP working in music tab.

I wonder if other people can cook this fix into their ROMs as you did. Do you know if it's possible?

salut all!

well, i have amilopro3205(wifi,usb,utp), usual laptop like many others.

also, i have HTC Blackstone(winmo; wifi,gprs,usb)

i cannot handle with different internet situations that switch quite often :confused:, namely:

scenery A, home

internet->DSL(USBmodem)->Laptop->USBcable->PPC

scenery B, park

internet->GPRS(GSM)->PPC->Bluetooth->Laptop

scenery C, office

internet->LAN(UTP)->Laptop->USB->PPC

scenery D, isrotel*

internet->Wifi->Laptop->USB->PPC

*many hotels sell wifi accounts, one per guest. two wifi devices = double payment. :mad:

okay?

so the problem is:

i have different basic scenarios where i must totally reconfigure, reconnect both devices, PC and PPC. it usually takes 5-15 minutes of dummy poke-and-try operations.

can someone recommend a simple way to tune scenarios once and switch between these scenarios with the tip of the finger? :rolleyes:

some software?

thank you in forward.

Not sure if my idea works, but you might want to download the sappimg.nbh.

Put this file in the root of your SD, start fastboot (holding end & power). After fastboot loaded, press volume down. This will put the magic back to an original 1.5 rom. After that you can try and root it again, and try any rom you want.
