[myTouch 3G, Magic General] swissp:
The "Danger" (or "Death") SPL is Haykuro's 1.33.2005 and there is only one. It changed the nand partitions sizes (or sth like that) on the G1 and that was why it is required to run Hero ROMs on it. It's not required to run Hero ROMs on the Magic though. What you're talking about are "Engineering" SPLs and the main difference with stock SPL is that, AFAIK, they bypass security checks to allow the flashing of unsigned update packages. Also, I think only Engineering and non-perfected SPLs allow the use of the fastboot protocol, the possibility to flash recovery images directly and the use of Nandroid to make backups.

To me it's all about unlocking everything but I could have lived with my stock non-perfected SPL as I could already do everything I wanted.

Signature checking is not necessary a bad thing. Perfected SPL is a different story as it really reduces you possibilities but I know there are workarounds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BoomBoomPOW:
Very informative. I was able to perform a Nandroid backup successfully while still on the "perfected SPL" so what's up with that? I guest I'll just stick with my perfected stock SPL for now, until I find a really great rom I want to flash but requires a non-perfected/eng spl.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] swissp:
That's why I said "I think"... fortunately I've never had a perfected SPL and I can only repeat what others have been saying about it. Can you restore the backup too?

As you'd already noticed, information on the subject is quite vague but you are right anyway, the only reason to change SPL should be if the ROM you want to install requires it ;-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fl3xo:
Hello all. I need some information on how i can modify an existing apk and add a file to a specified path during installation.

Better...i need that installation creates a file in data/data/com.myprogram.android/myfile where com.myprogram.android is the path of program data. Is that possible???

thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
*bump* - after one year, this is exactly what i also need!

any answer to this? since i modify an existing .apk, changing the java-code is not an option. solution must be pure .apk based / via the manifest
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
you could do it in a few steps

1) copy the apk to somewhere safe (/mnt/sdcard)

2) uninstall the apk, maybe use PackageManager

3) unzip the apk to a folder, add your changed/new files, zip up the folder again (extension .apk). Use busybox's zip/unzip if you need

4)sign the new apk using this (i tried it it works)

5)install the new+signed apk, maybe use PackageManager
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gene Poole:
The way I've done this in the past is just store whatever it is you want to add in the res/raw directory of the project, then when the program first runs, copy the raw resource wherever you want it in the tree.

// Copy the helper app from resources to an executable in our classpath
protected void CopyExtraBin() {
// check if it's already there
File helper = new File("/data/data/com.mypath.myprog/helper_app");
if (helper.exists()) {
// already there, nothing to do.
return;
}
InputStream setdbStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.helper_app);
try {
byte[] bytes = new byte[setdbStream.available()];
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(setdbStream);
dis.readFully(bytes);
FileOutputStream setdbOutStream = new FileOutputStream(
"/data/data/com.mypath.myprog/helper_app");
setdbOutStream.write(bytes);
setdbOutStream.close();

// set executable permissions on our helper
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh");
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
os.writeBytes("chmod 755 /data/data/com.mypath.myprog/helper_app\n");
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
os.flush();

} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return;
}
}
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishanet:
where to insert it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobajeff:
Yeah I have the same question. I'm wanting to add some files to /data/data/<appdirectory>/lib but since it's permissions are set to drwxr-xr-x system system I can't write to it without changing apk itself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobajeff:
I tried putting this into some code and I just alot of cannot find symbol errors and DataInputStream and Toast. I'm sure It's just my limited knowledge and maybe changes in android but this example code doesn't seem to work for me.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ach1lles:
Newbie here. So i just got new g1 in the mail so i wanted to try to put the hero rom on it because i really like how it looks. I followed a tutorial to take my 1.5 to root on youtube, then followed another on the same channel to partition my sd card and install a version of the hero rom. Now ive tried about 4 different roms and im having the same problem with all of them. When im about to flash from my .zip it goes halfway through the process and then give me this error

E:can't chown/mod /system/xbin/sqelite3

(no such file or directory)

E:Failure at line 43:

set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM :xbin/sqelite3

installation aborted

depending on the mod the failure at line is a different number (41 or 43) but same message. Anyone know how to fix this so i can get that new 2.0 flashed and running on my g1?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestwebs:
Hi,

This should be in the q-a forum but do this:

Put a sd card in your phone with the firmware on it named as update.zip.

Go into recovery and flash it.

Hopefully your phone will be revived.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robkoehler:
Dude.....every hero thread posts the requirements and the dangers. If you flashed and bricked, u r either really unlucky or u messed something up. Thousands of us have the danger spl and no issues. The warning is serious. Sorry if you just figured that out. If you have more detail of what ur facing now we may be able to hekp
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Wow! You sure know how to take responsibility for your own actions. If you can't read instructions and bricked your phone, it is your fault, not anybody elses. And if you did do the radio first, then danger spl, it wouldn't be bricked... that is proper order. Now, I am betting you did it the other way around, or your phone is dead and you don't know how to charge it. Either way, probably should stick to the stock Android, plenty fast enough, and it something does go wrong at least you can blame HTC for it then.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
I cant tell but did he flash the radio twice then flash the spl?

What spl was your phone at before?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
No idea, impossible to tell at the moment. $5 says his phone is just dead, everything is fine, and we never hear back because he is too afraid to admit it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
his probably died in recovery mode =/

So yeah I bought my HD2 from expansys, and they give you £30 worth of vouchers to spend at there site, I was thinking I would get some sort of screen protector/hard case kinda thing, can anyone recommend a favourite or any good ones?

The Site
[HD2 General] jb14:
be aware if i recall you can only spend £15 at once ie need two separate transactions (buried in the terms and conditions). one of the reasons i didn't buy my HD2 from them.

Check it tho, as it may have changed since then (but i doubt it).

EDIT: and you can't use it to buy memory cards, USB flash disks and some other things!! cheeky if you ask me
[HD2 General] meegulthwarp:
The screen is made of tempered glass so it shouldn't need a screen protector. Im using the leather case that was supplied with the phone and find it quite good for what I need. I would like to try a flip case though.

If you don't mind waiting they will also be releasing a car kit, stylus and extended battery for the HD2 in Q1 2010.

[Hero CDMA General] justpyro:
Hey all, to keep a long story short, I had to RMA my first Hero (for non functionality issues) and now have my current Hero. I had no problems with the first phone.

On my current Hero, I'm constantly losing the data connection, and it seems to take a few tries to get it to reconnect. For instance, on gtalk, whenever the screen turns off for a minute or 2 and I turn it back on to send a new message, the bottom of the chat displays "lost connection to server, message will be resent once online" And I either have to turn the screen on and off again, or tap the status icon to get it to reconnect.

This also appears to happen in the market, I'm getting a lot of connection problems, and have to retry a couple times to get the connection to pick up again. This occurs whether I'm searching, or trying to download an app.

Any thoughts? I couldn't find any setting differences between the two phones.

Thanks,

- JustPyro
[Hero CDMA General] posguy99:
Uhhh... yeah. The phone sleeps, the data connection drops, and you're surprised?
[Hero CDMA General] gravesy56:
I agree with him while I get the connection drops but I've experienced it too where I've had to reboot my phone to get my data conn back up. But thanks for the feedback posguy...really helpful:D
[Hero CDMA General] justpyro:
No, that doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is how long it takes to reactivate the data connection. Particularly when on my first hero, it didn't seem to have the same lag time to reconnect. =P
[Hero CDMA General] tbaker077:
This thread maybe of some help. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601049

I have been reading stuff on other sites saying that this issue could be an Android 1.5 and below thing. Not sure about 1.6, and a few Droid owners said 2.0 is the same way but also read the 2.0.1 update may have fixed that issue for them.
[Hero CDMA General] justpyro:
Thanks baker. I saw that thread, and thought that my issue might be related. But It's not that I don't get a 3g connection in the area, just that it takes a long time to pick up again, particularly in the market or gtalk.

I guess we'll see if 2.1 solves all of our collective woes.

[HD2 General] jrvenge:
Hi all, HELP!!!

I have just spent 4 weeks setting up my phone, i have everything just as i want it.

But i noticed today when i received some txt messages it was silent, now when i select any sound for anything, ie events or ringtones its just silent, i hear nothing???.

If i move the volume slider i here the ping sound of the volume changing, so there is sound.

Now, if i go to the all settings menu, and try to assign a sound in the windows menu, when i click on a sound it shuffles through the entire list and stops back where it was in a second, almost like it cant find the sounds or something weird is going on???

Now this happened once before, and i restored using a SPB backup, but this time i have overwritten my backup with this before i realized what had happened.

Whats going on??????

:confused::(

Update, when i select a ringtone from the menu, and select it, when i go back on the menu it says ringtone "none"

???
[HD2 General] Stom:
I'm also having a similar issue with my HD2 (using 1.61 WWE rom).

The phone rings when I receive an incoming call but not when I get a txt. I can select a tone in Settings - Sound & Display - Notification Sounds and it will play the demo. My settings are saved but it just doesn't make a noise when I get a txt.

Any clues, anyone?
[HD2 General] jrvenge:
No this is different, i have no sounds at all, no ringtones, nothing, its as if they are just not there, the sounds are still in the windows DIR, but something looks different on the DOR layout, im sure the sounds were stored somewhere else too.

If i have to reformat my phone because of this im gonna freak damit, as this is not the first time.

Can anybody upload an image of the root DIR layout, or let me know of the sounds are stored anywhere else but the WIN DIR?

PS Where you get the 1.61 WWE rom?

I found a fix, use mem maid to transfer temp files to the storage card, including sounds, when you rebbot, it reverts to main memory but your sounds work again :)

Is there any advantages of having a different radio? im on 63.18.55.06ju_6.35.08.29 is one better than the other?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CitizenLee:
Theoretically, newest should mean best but I've found this isn't always the case (for example with JU_6.35.09.26 I get no wifi).

Best thing to do is take a nandroid back-up of your current set-up and then test them out ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
I have read somewhere that HTC recommends to use the radio version that comes with the respective ROM, cause it was built for that ROM version.

So, does anyone know which radio versions correspond to the following ROMs:

HTC Generic 2.73.405.66

?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AlonR:
Hi,

I hope I don't raise an answered issue but I couldn't find one...

I'm trying to pass data and audio from a mobile device (but I want it to work also on a WinCE 6.0 device) that has Microsoft Bluetooth stack.

I'm programming in .Net and thought of using the Franson's BlueTools library.

Data works just fine but they don't support the audio (SCO connection).

I've checked also InTheHand's (Peter Foot's) free library, the same results and the same for some others.

I just couldn't find any library that will allow me program with .Net for opening audio channel over bluetooth.

I will appreciate any solution or information about a library that supports audio (free or commercial).

Thanks,

Alon

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I used the search and google and have come up empty on this subject.

Is there an MAME emulator that is capable of running on the TP2?

I installed MAMECE3 and Pocketcult Mame, but neither work properly on the TP2 because it lacks hardware keys and is not able to remap them to the keyboard.

Has anyone been able to get MAME to work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ugoff:
Those emulators haven't seen much in the way of updates for a few years now, and even then, on the Tilt/Kaiser, they ran pretty badly. It's going to be a while before anyone has a definitive way to provide inputs for portrait orientation games in general, but even more so for a MAME emulator.

Some months ago, hoping to win a Touch Pro2 from Microsoft and Naughty by Nature, I entered a contest on facebook. I didn't win the device, but I did win a Naughty by Nature theme by xda-devs' own PROBEX. I didn't have anything to put it on, and if I had, I'm not a huge fan. So it has sat unused.

I figure someone should enjoy it, so I'm looking for someone to give it to. FYI, I believe it to be winmo6.1 only. I'm not sure xda-devs is the best place to find a TP2 user still on 6.1, but there is music too. Windows Mobile told me that the prize pack zip includes "Naughty's new single, the .cab file of the TouchFlo 3D Naughty By Nature skin, as well as the full Independent Leaders CD".

EDIT: Giveaway Closed. PMs to winners going out soonish.

Subject to change at my whim, my plan is to offer it to (in the following order)

the most deserving (as determined by me) developer of any freeware or donateware (or similarly generousware) tweaks, software, ROMs etc who asks for it or

the first senior xda-devs member to ask for it or

the first of anyone else to ask for it.

Ask in

this

thread if you're interested, PM requests will likely be ignored. I'll end the giveaway at my own whim, so don't dilly-dally. If you're a developer of something that's not linked in your signature, and want priority consideration based on it, link to it in your post.

n8izzle pointed out to me in a PM that zelendel was a cook when he didn't have to, I would have missed it, and zelendel thought n8izzle should get part of the prize for his good deed. So the theme will go one way, and music the other. I'm glad the recipients are such good sports. Contest winners aren't normally so generous to their fellow entrants.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tardie:
Pretty sure this is a brick. Don't know for sure though.

You flashed the radio and then the SPL correct? If the phone wont turn on at all, then try plugging it in. If it wont boot up, meaning it just loops somewhere and you cant get into recovery or fastboot, then you might be screwed my friend.
