[Hero CDMA General] jmanley69:
The Hero comes with a warranty. If it's truly a design flaw, then HTC will repair/replace the phone for the length of the warranty.

Like other people here say, all our phones do that, it's not that big a deal. I'm more concerned with the trackball. I mean, there's no way to remove it (that I've seen) to clean the mechanisms underneath. And if any of you remember when your mouse used to have a ball and not a laser pointer, those little wheels get really dirty and gunked up really fast. That's just sitting on your desk, I can only imagine how messed up the track ball will get going in and out of my pocket and being touched by filthy dirty oily thumbs all the time.
[Hero CDMA General] Lessthantito:
I know how bad a trackball can get I just got the Hero after having a BB Pearl 8130 for 1 1/2 years, I don't use the Hero's trackball anywhere near as much but I can see it has already picked up dirt from my fingers I just hope it doesn't turn into a problem like the trackballs on the BB Tour
[Hero CDMA General] codelockdown:
that is normal, every SPrint hero i have seen does that, but like they said above, you can go to the retail store, (not a privetly owned one, they will make you go to the retail store) and see if it is a 'defect'
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Mine doesn't do it. If it did I would return it.

I don't have this but my green phone button seems lower than the red one, making it a bit harder to press (especially cuase I have no nails due to biting them like crazy)

hi, i got this black screen after i updated CyanogenMod 4.2.5, in the first attempt to boot, just after the "Android" screen....is this normal??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
wipe data.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinesal:
Yeah. It's normal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcclay:
Yep...

9 times out of 10 it's from not wiping your ext partition.

Also...it could be that the ROM is not for the G1 but for MT3G.

Happy flashing!:D

The Xperia X1 came with a great game called Xtrakt, which is still one of the best games available on Windows Mobile. This time, with the Xperia X2, a new puzzle game is bundled. It’s called Experiment 13 and has fantastic gameplay with great graphics.

The wonderful folks at XDA-developers have managed to rip it from a dumped Xperia X2 ROM. It’s available in CAB format for easy installation and is working wonderfully on multiple devices. Grab it on XDA-developers and give it a spin to see if it works on your device. Enjoy!

The goal of the game is to guide the character, Roy Tate, through a number of levels to help him get home. To accomplish this, you must obtain all the energy spheres found on each stage, which will give you access to a portal. You can jump and move around by pressing arrows on the screen. Other on-screen arrows will rotate the screen, so you can reach different areas of the world. Collect all spheres throughout the game and you win!

[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
Okay. If this is not where the MODs want this post, please move it.

[UPDATE] - Jump over to Post #12 for some of my recent ideas and changes for this application.

I have been using mods for the G1 and the myTouch 3G for a little while now. I have used Backup for Root, and I use Nandroid. I created just a little simple script to backup your device to your linux-based machine and restore from there too. The concept behind this is having your backup on your computer, not your sd-card. Please, feel free to contribute. (If this is not your cup of tea, please do not leave a comment). I am limited on time, and wanted to contribute a little to the community. All this script is a compilation of adb commands. Anyone could compile these commands, I just wanted it organized and in one place.

README

After using all of the backup tools for root, I have ran into random FCs and bugs. This script uses Android SDK's adb tool and was designed to be simple. This script goes through and backs up your applications, bookmarks, sms, alarm clocks, settings, launcher settings and dictionary. There are plans for this script to be interactive in the future. As for now, it is a very basic script that will backup your device then restore your device.

Notes. As for now this script requires sudo. On every other linux pc tested, sudo was required (maybe because user did not install adb correctly?). This will change in future versions.

= Details =

REQUIREMENTS

1. Android SDK Toolkit 1.5 or higher

2. Bash v4.0.33

3. Root access to your device

4. Root access to your pc

HOWTO

Backing-Up

1. Plug your device in

2. Open command-line (On PC)

3. Run ./abrtool -b

4. Done.

Restoring

2. Open command-line (on PC)

3. Run ./abrtool -r

4. Restart device

5. Done

[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
Nice script but bart.sh can accomplish a full backup of your Android environment for restoration at a later date. While it does it to the SD card initially, these "barts" can easily be copied to any computer. I can, however, see a use for this as it serves a slightly different purpose. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
I wasn't sure what response I would get to this post. I have had to flash, partition, format, wipe.. enough times that I just wanted to plugin into my computer, backup, wipe-flash then restore. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] str4vag:
nice. I don't use linux myself, but i see the point of having the backup else where (not an SD card attached to the phone itself).

will this, in theory be made to work on windows? Cause that will be awesome.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
@str4vag It would be really simple to just use a .bat file for Windows. I don't have any plans on making a windows script anytime soon. Sorry. Same commands especially though.
[G1 Android Development] ggolemg:
This is exactly what I've been looking for, now I just need to mod it to sync apps/bookmarks/etc automatically whenever I plug in my phone, and to only sync the new items to keep it speedy, great work dev!
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
@ggolemg I can play around with some "real" features soon. I plan on having it archive your backups and allow you to select which backup (default is most recent) you would like to use. I am sure I can play around with your idea too. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] acidwashg1:
subscribing to the thread, idea is very interesting. i've been looking for a foolproof way to backup and restore bookmarks, sms messages, and different alarms, without all the issues of backup for root users. gonna check out the script tonight.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
Update coming by the end of the week.

- Will only backup apps not already backed up.

- Possibly apply the Python interface I have developed.

- More goodies.
[G1 Android Development] m3s_4ev3r:
How about switchrom?
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
Android-Linux-Tools

Okay, so this week has been crazy for me. (Mind you I am a restaurant manager first and a developer (primary web) second). I think I am going to gear this project in a different direction. First off, I have created GTK2 Dialogs and a settings panel for this application. I would like to gear towards general linux tools on the pc side. So over the next two weeks you can expect,

- Graphical Interface for abrtool (Android-Backup-Restore)

- Configuration for each application.

- Nautilus Scripts for all applications.

- Right-Click to Encode Video (With GTK2 Dialog progress)

- Right-Click to Install APK (With GTK2 Dialog progress)

- Right-Click to Sign APK (With GTK2 Dialog progress)

- Right-Click to Copy Files to SD Card

- abrtool will backup to Ubuntu One Cloud (Simple adb pull ~/Ubuntu\ One/? or maybe play with the API?)

Ideas and Possibilities

- User.conf editor

- Select with applications to backup

- Switchrom features?

Any other thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I want to start simple, keep working on the abrtool and then make my way out to some other useful tools for us linux (Ubuntu) users. Let me know what you think and what would be helpful.
[G1 Android Development] GuestK00233:
i had to make a bynch of edits so this dosent run as root, id recomend everyone do the same, only run root when you must. Also changed ,.adb to adb so i dont have to run it in my android sdk dir
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
@ahronzombi Can you post those changes?
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
I am a firm believer of only running root when needed, Like I mentioned before I don't really have a huge amount of time, and when I tested this on a friends notebook adb required root to atleast kill-server then you could perform shell/push/pull.
[G1 Android Development] naguz:
AFAIK, adb server only requires root if ou haven't set the proper udev rules for the device.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
Exactly. If we want this script to run universally we cannot rely on all users to have added the udev rules. If they don't they have to run sudo. Maybe a quick check for the udev file then sudo if not?
[G1 Android Development] GuestK00233:
no i think it would be wise to have people understand there udev permissions rather than run root so its universal. that kind of thinking leads to very big security problems. with root in the script most of the simplest linux users could exploit anyone
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
I fully understand that. Do you mind posting your changes to the script?
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
If the user got as far as install the sdk and downloading this script they don't mind running sudo once to install the udev rules... (I've been a linux user for a while now...I was annoyed with ubuntu's free use of sudo at first, I am all about the security and this is why I posted the script here to get feed back and collaboration.) Thanks for your help.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
So I have the same thing (with no sudo), but how do we feel about adding

before the backup script runs?
[G1 Android Development] :
maybe if it had the udev fix in the script, if possible. running root is never a good idea. if someone wants to run as root they should su then run the script. you shouldn't SU in the script, just my opinion.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
That giving them the option and educating them on what they are doing?
[G1 Android Development] :
honestly i played with this script but when you get the chance you should try and implement somthing similar to switchrom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=541183 but for running on the PC. that way we could have multiple backups with different tags

the check thing is a good idea if you can implement a udev fix that will work for everyone.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
Thanks for you input. I already have plans on implementing some switchrom features. I'll work on the security issues first.

As for UDEV is seems like there would be two different methods to it. A Gutsy/Hardy way and an Intrepid/Jaunty/Karmic way. I will play around with that for awhile.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
diggin this

thanks for sharing
[G1 Android Development] _xtc_:
Thanks for sharing your work with us.

But did any one try this script already. Because i just downloaded it, and i needed some modifications to get it run.

First there seems to be an error in the script (v0.1.5) in line 131-138 where the restore is triggered.

If you execute >abrtool -r still the 'backupscript' is triggered. Instead it should read 'restorescript' to trigger the restore process.

And then i wonder, why the wifi settings are not backed up nor the contats database.

Any reason why these are left out?

Greetings, _xtc_
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
That was my bad. A little typo. I am working on getting the fixed version uploaded today. Sorry about that. I can add the WIFI settings and Contacts to the next release.
[G1 Android Development] _xtc_:
There's also a little typo in line 71 where it reads:

sudo adb push $BACKUPDIR/other/launcher.db adb pull /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db

it should be:

sudo adb push $BACKUPDIR/other/launcher.db /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db

The lines i added for wifi backup are:

-backupscript

sudo adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf $BACKUPDIR/other/wpa_supplicant.conf

-restorescript

sudo adb push $BACKUPDIR/other/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Greetings, _xtc_
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
it will prob always require SU - ADB daemon server has to be created on sudo then can be used without after

@_xtc_ Thank you. I will add that. I am currently working on getting some new code out tonight. (I have mentioned that I really don't have a lot of time as of right now, but I will do what I can).

@wesgarner I am playing around with some options. I believe I have a workaround. Its encoding on my side...but the audio is chopped. That is on the back burner of my agenda. I will let you know how it works out.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
@wesgarner So with my installer for alt, it checks to see if you have the udev rules. If not it creates the udev rules (currently for the mytouch). After that, the script doesn't require sudo.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
@wesgarner So we can either convert video to H.264 (Buggy) or MPEG-4. I have been testing this on my side. It is working okay.

With variables, it works out okay through nautilus. I'll let everyone know when I get a final copy of it... the video is still choppy and the audio is hit or miss.

Released ConvertVideoToAndroid Script

So I have released the nautilus script that I have been using. Take a look over at the wiki-page. (Google Code Wiki-Page).

I have only tested this on my system as of now. Ubuntu 9.10, ffmpeg SVN-r19468, nautilus 2.28.1. I have a ton of codecs available on my system too. I can successfully convert mpeg and avi and wmv files to an mp4 that displays nicely on my device.

Any bugs or issues with it, please redirect to http://code.google.com/p/android-linux-tools/issues/list
[G1 Android Development] Cheesebaron:
I don't like that you are using sudo infront of every adb command, you don't really need to have super user rights to run adb, unless you have set up the SDK wrongly and don't have the right udev rule set.

Instead of doing everything as super user, you could first try and see if the user you are running the script as has rights to access the adb device, if not then ask for a super user password or ask the user to give him/herself rights to access it.

Also another note, you can actually push entire folders through adb, and not single files, just make sure. For instance if you run the command adb push foo/ /sdcard/, this will push the entire contents of the folder foo to the sdcard root. So to push the entire folder foo you could do a:

adb shell mkdir /sdcard/foo

adb push foo/ /sdcard/foo

this way you have pushed the entire contents of a folder including itself to the sdcard.

Convert to Android Video script works just fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] Lorenzo007:
these linux tools are mainly intended for geeks that like top play with the internals of their Hero from a shell (either adb shell, ssh connection, or a terminal application). Regular users won't find any benefit by installing these tools: they won't make their hero faster or work better, they will just increase the ROM memory consumption.
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
No. This will not increase the ROM memory consumption? This is intended for use on a linux box. It's not 'mainly intended for geeks that like top play'. The purpose behind this, is to backup your device.

So far it:

Signs apk or zip

opens and decrypts xmls

opens and decrypts .classes from apk's

pushes files to android system or sdcard

working on:

zipaligning apk's and zips

running PNGCrush on android png in apk's.

Let me know...Great work so far....
[G1 Android Development] boulderjams:
I would be interested. I have updated a ton of my scripts over the last two weeks. I have not posted any of my stuff, just yet, as I am working the bugs out and moving a lot of this over to python.
