Hi

Would I delete this in activesync even if i didnt use activesync to create it?

Also I am running windows 7 and using Device Center, which I kno is pretty much the same, can I do it in there?

If yes, can you provide me the steps?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Zylograth:
open AS on your phone, highlight the Exchange Server account and hit delete.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JRocca:
HA sorry, it was so easy, I was thinking of ActiveSync on the PC.

Thank you

Hello!

I've been looking for a way to achieve the topic title for a very long time but without result...

So what i'd like to accomplish is to give my application the ability to execute root/su -c commands without the device being actually rooted.

If this has to be done at the compiling of system.img / rom-cooking thats oke..

From what gathered through searching the source is that the init executable in the root of the device starts zygote, and zygote in turn is responsible of starting up each application.

This Zygote also manages what uid each application gets? If so shouldn't it be possible to change that uid to "system" or even "root"?

When you look at running processes on a device the "phone" app has as user radio..once again indicates it's very well possible to change under what user an app is being executed?

Also looking through the source the way an application gets a different uid seems to be because of sharing the same certificate on build, and in the androidmanifest.xml having

android:sharedUserId="android.uid.phone"

Am i have not yet find out where android.uid.* comes from but should the uid: system and root be there as well?

If anyone could enlighten me whether i am on the completely wrong track or if this makes any sense i'd be greatly appreciated!

Richard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Richard_Xeli:
Monday morning bump!

Isn't there any way to have an application start up as system/root user? is another way to do it perhaps via a service? and have that start up as another user?
[G1 General] Minker17:
Just wondering? What did you switch, and stay on, from Cyanogen? What do you like about it over Cy, and why?
[G1 General] Izord:
Super-D, Seems smoother,faster and also more complete. Also easier to install. Just flash one zip from recovery and it's done. On Cyanogen if I remember correctly there were two packages.

I read about it again, and I guess after the first time you install Cyanogen you only have to flash the update and not the base ROM, so it's probably not a big deal.

I just like to wipe before every flash, would that work with Cyanogen? Or if you wiped would you have to first reflash the Base then the Cyanogen?

And of course things like speed and smoothness is very subjective. I know setCPU has a 'benchmark' utility in the menu. I use it on Super-D if anyone wants to compare. Not sure if it would show any differences between ROMS, or if it's more of just a hardware and MHz thing.

Anyone know of a good Benchmarking utility that could be used to compare ROMS? Especially things like opening and closing and switching apps. And responsiveness of menus and swiping and scrolling?

I see this opening up a Benchmarking shootout of the ROMs! Could be fun. Especially as they are now getting mature, and most things work on all the good ones. Let's measure our ePeeners!

Enomther's "The Official"/Donut.

Stock with goodies.
[G1 General] Izord:
I used to use Enomther's "The Official" for months. Used the latest release for a while before switching to Super-D. "The Official" is a very good ROM. Very Stable. And complete with lots of Goodies.

Super-D is noticably faster and smoother and less laggy. The official is a two-package install like Cyan.
[G1 General] TeeJay3800:
If you wipe you have to reflash "DRC83_base_defanged" before flashing the ROM, but that's not necessary if you do a regular update using the CM Updater.

I agree, that would be cool!
[G1 General] rjammoo:
I use Super D 1.8. Fastest and smoothest ROM out there. If you want to try it link is in my signature. And when I say I mean, way faster than cyanogen's. Swap on super D is on by default now so that makes it fast to faster. Its just the fastest and smoothest ROM out there. Haven't had any problems with the ROM yet. And by the way if you need to try it, you need the Danger SPL.
[G1 General] djluis48:
I was using WG Build, it was faster than Cyan and Super D (Personal Opinion) But then i found CSDIv1....its crazy fast and smooth.

My 2 cents.
[G1 General] Ace42:
All of the below are faster than Cyan

Super-D 10MB hack

WG-Y26

Enom

CSD

I used cyan once then went to Wes now ive been using SuperD for weeks:)

Cyan is the best for stability but....All of the roms here are faster than stock.
[G1 General] tdusen:
+1 for "The Official". It's the one I keep coming back to.
[G1 General] jordanjay29:
I disagree, I've found enom's The Official rom to be much more stable than the Cyan roms I tried. I switched to Cyan after JesusFreke stepped out of the rom game, and found it putrid, buggy and slow, not to mention that it cause my phone syncing problems that couldn't be resolved.

After I switched away, I had a much better experience on Enomther's rom.
[Nexus One General] adam18488:
Has anyone else notice the 'dot bug' on the home screen?

if your on the main homescreen (screen 3), it should have 2 dots in each bottom corner indicating 2 screens to the right and 2 to the left.

if i go into an app from screen 5 and then exit the app by pressing the home button, it takes me to screen 3 however i have 4 dots on the bottom left - which is obv wrong!

I only noticed it after the new update (which i did manually)...i havent rooted.
[Nexus One General] johnsto:
Easy to reproduce, sounds like a simple bug and the developer of the activity needs a holiday :)
[Nexus One General] PSYCHOtcb:
The same bug is affecting me - nice catch!
[Nexus One General] mobiousdigital:
Same issue here, not so perfect phone now :( You'd think they'd test updates before rolling them out, saying that it is a minor thing but would be nice of them to sort it out as soon as possible and the Carrier | (pipe) issue too.
[Nexus One General] scgolfer7:
yeah i would think that they would catch something like that but i guess not. Some people are saying they are not experiencing the bug, mostly people that have received the update via OTA; then again others say they have. I still haven't updated figured i would wait for the OTA but i'm getting impatient..
[Nexus One General] elio:
Same here. Updated via OTA
[Nexus One General] wmm:
I think everyone with the update has it. Doesn't bother me any; my screens are all different enough from each other that I can tell at a glance which one I'm on, so I never look at the dots.
[Nexus One General] scuzzy19:
Did the manual update and do not have that issue.
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
Done the manual update as well and I have the bug as well. Not that it's annoying or anything
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
Exactly, people need to relax.
[Nexus One General] RonnieFoxxx:
fixxed by flashing this launcher.... i know it was to fix the fc's before the update but it works for this too (as i hoped) :D

[Nexus One General] mobiousdigital:
Assume this requires root?
[Nexus One General] mikeybags:
Did anyone just try pressing on one of the dots to switch screens, then going back? Mine had this when I first updated, but I did that, and haven't had it since (even after power down).
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Have tried it and still have different dot count once in a while after using the launcher :confused: But not a problem for me right now.
[Nexus One General] mobiousdigital:
that doesn't solve it mikeybags, you'll see if you try it with an app on another screen, open the app from the other screen then hit home, you'll see the dots dont go back to ".." ".."
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
You don't even have to move screens or press the dots to fix this...

Just hold the background and move half-way as if you're changing screens and let go.

Fixed.

Why is this such a big deal?
[Nexus One General] RonnieFoxxx:
yes sorry i was half asleep when i posted this and only afterwards realized this. well for all you rooted users that updated and are having this problem, there is your fix.

I know it must be possible as there are comments there! But, how do I leave a comment on an app on the market place? It will be a good one - I promise!:cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccunningham83:
First you have to rate the app, then you will be given the option to comment.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thm92630:
Thanks!

I see how now - what threw me is that the option to rate is not available for an app that is not currently installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
How do you rate it on this thing? I clicked on the stars and that didn't do anything. Nothing under menu, etc. I bought GrooveIP and love it and wanted to leave positive feedback but there is no way to do it that I can find! :(

[G1 General] Izord:
On my Google maps I would like for the map to be oriented in the direction I'm travelling. (So the map turns while I turn)

So I'm always driving toward the top of the screen. As it is now sometimes it shows me driving sideways or down. It's easy enough to do on my Garmin, but I can't find a setting for this on my Google maps, I'm using a MyTouch3G by the way.

Also one other question. I'm using the new 3.4 version and I noticed when I had the 'Compass' on, the map didn't move while I was driving, and I would drive off the screen till I pressed 'My Location' to recenter the map.

Anyone else notice this?

I turned off the compass, and the map movement returned to normal with the map moving around me, and me centered in the map.
[G1 General] The Sleeve:
Every time I've used the navigation of Google Maps the map always moves around me so I'm always traveling "forward." Although, I don't believe I've ever had the compass turned on in my maps. If I remember I'll test on the way to work and check back.
[G1 General] Izord:
Thanks!

But there's two different things. I didn't try navigation today, maybe if I had nav on it would orient the way I like it.

The problem with me driving off the map was just with compass on though.

When I had compass off the map would scroll, keeping me in the center, but the orientation was North always up, I'd rather have 'heading' up even with navigation off.
[G1 General] The Sleeve:
Ah, I don't believe I've ever had "heading up" outside of nav before. I'll just play with the compass and see what happens haha
[G1 General] The Sleeve:
Tried it out....here are my results:

Normal map with compass: no "heading up" display, the compass never showed up either, but my map did scroll keeping my location in the center.

Normal map without compass: still no "heading up" display and the map kept my location in the center.

Nav with compass: this was displayed with "heading up" and it also showed a compass with it (of course scrolling with my progress).

Nav without compass: no different than above...still had a compass even.

Adding and removing the compass was done through "Spare Parts" on my phone.
[G1 General] Izord:
Thanks Sleeve, nice work. I used Nav tonight and had heading up also. Are you using the new 3.4 version? It has 'compass' in it's menu. Doesn't show a compass, just directs the arrow even when you're not moving.
[G1 General] Izord:
How to bookmark locations?

Well using nav a little more today, and found another question if anyone knows the answer.

I'd like to be able to save locations, like my house, and various addresses. To something like favorites or bookmarks. But can't find any place to do that. I can find locations easily enough with the map or just typing in, but how to save them for future use?

:confused:
[G1 General] turboyo:
add it as a contact
[G1 General] Izord:
Search Text list vs. icons.

Got it.

Now I ran into something else. A few days ago when I'd search for 'Walmart' it would give me a text list of the nearby walmarts with address and I could pick which one I wanted from the list.

Today it is just giving me red pushpins on the map, not a list. I can still find the one I want by scrolling the map 'IF' I know where to look. How do I get the option for a text list back?

Thanks. :confused:
[G1 General] turboyo:
hit the list icon on the lower left corner
[G1 General] The Sleeve:
Ah, so thats why my little navigation dot wasn't a dot anymore, it was an arrow haha. Either way it kept me in the center at all times.

I don't see these settings on my Nexus One, I think you are talking about G1/My Touch settings.. but thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyAndy:
Alternately

I had this problem too, nothing worked. Toggled native messenger app vibrate on/off, tried Handcent long/short/custom, etc. Nothing worked, phone vibrated for calls, but not messages. Read on howardforums to try the app "Sound Manager," use "vibrate settings" toggled "vibrate whenever possible," and it worked. Handcent & native messaging vibrate upon receive message and can set custom length vibrate alerts in Hancent. App is in the market for free, good luck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadywasabi:
I had the same problem. Downloaded Sound Manager and found that "notifications" were set to "never vibrate".

I'm not sure how this got set, but all is well now. Cheers, ArmyAndy!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Catalli:
@ shadywasabi - You were right I checked all setting in the setting app that came with the phone, but then I downloaded sound manager. I opened the app pressed menu key and under Notification Setting/ Don't Vibrate was checked so I just changed it to Vibrate Whenever Possible. Then tested my notifications in handcent and it works. THX :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanaticprakash:

Hello all!

I have been lucky enough to finally get my Nexus One. Although my purchasing process was riddled with issues and lacked any support. I got the phone and it seems to be free of defects, and I am loving it even more than I thought I would.

I am moving from a Windows Mobile phone (FINALLY), and I had an app called Newsbreak which I used all the time. It would basically download all my feeds for offline viewing/listening including audio/video podcasts, and use the SD card for storage.

I have been looking for an equivalent on android and I appear to be left wanting. Most RSS reader appear to be online only, don't seem to support downloading podcasts, or requires Google Reader (sorry not wanting to give my Google Account password).

Does anyone know of a good offline RSS reader?

I have tried Newsrob (needs Google Reader), Listen (no offline?) and I am currently reviewing BlueRSS. I like BlueRSS, but I see no option to store on the SD card nor how to download the podcast or website for offline viewing. Since BlueRSS says it does this, I am not sure if I am missing something or it is just not able to do what I require.

If I need to I will design my own, but this is the only thing keeping me from using the N1 full time.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] timmins:
Check out Doggcatcher (no idea why they chose that name). Here's the feature list:

http://www.snoggdoggler.com/FeatureOverview
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dbaboci:
BeyondPod is a good solution as well. I use it for audio/video.

You can't beat Newsrob for RSS integration with GReader though. You can just create a new google account and export all your feeds and than use that exclusively for Newsrob.

Edit: Link: http://www.beyondpod.mobi/android/index.htm
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UmbraeSoulsbane:
DoggCatcher looks like ti will work and I will check out BeyondPod. I did not find these before since they appear to be paid apps, and I just moved my SIM over so it was hiding them from me before.

Wish there was a free one though. Maybe that will be my first Andriod project.

I really don't like Google Reader. Its convenient, but giving my login information to an app is just not safe. If there was a Google one I might try it, but they seems to want to force people to be online. Why use bandwidth so irresponsibly? Just don't make sense.

Thanks all!

Hi Everyone,

We got some requests to split this forum up into a WM and and Android section, please let us know your opinion by voting on the poll.

Thanks in advance!

Flar
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Hey Flar,

We probably should either do that or simply rename the "General" to Android as most of (if not all) of the latest threads in that section have been about Android. I will probably be a lot simpler to just rename them. As far as the other threads (oder one relating to WM), we can transfer them to the ROM Development section.

But we should definitely do that since the Vogue has been one of the most successful devices for Android porting, so I think it deserves its own section.

My two cents...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] stopthebus:
Isn't the Touch General section already an Android section?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jnadke:
No, a lot of people still post application-related WinMo support questions there.

It makes sense the General forum should be for stock devices.

They get rapidly buried due to the constant Android activity.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Who uses stock?!?!? :D

If you have a good set of general guidelines (instruction sets and a good Q&A thread), there is no need for this "General" section.

In fact, that just gave me an idea...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jnadke:
Well, given the choice of "ROM

Development

" and "General", people put their questions in General.

Renaming the forums to "Touch CDMA Android" and "Touch CMDA Windows Mobile" would be satisfactory.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
That's what I was going for :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jamezelle:

i think thats a go:p:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Wait, wait, there is still a chance that.... oh nevermind :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jnadke:
I think they're not planning to do this until the server upgrade comes in on the 11th.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Well, considering that it is only a matter of renaming the section, I don't believe that there is much to be done in that (especially considering that they have already renamed most sections on the site a few days ago).
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jamezelle:
nah.....

touch cdma General ---all the stuff that doesnt fit in the below...general questions about the device that are not development related this will clean up the development forums

I found a thread with the following title:

"Guide to change OS language in 1-2-3"

(I can't post links yet, as this is my first post:) but you can use the forum search.)

It explains how to use CustomLocale.apk which has more locales and did change the dictionary for me.

Hope it helps!

Ps. Don't forget to check if you have suggestions turned on in your keyboard's settings:)

I noticed that the blacks on my screen have a strong purple hue... especially when the brightness is turned all the way down. Looks like a bad LCD with too much brightness or backlighting. I thought this was normal for oled since I had never had one. But my friend got a Nexus as well and his blacks look... well, Black.

I thought it was a hardware problem but it only seems to affect certain blacks, like the Live wallpaper and the power control widget. Or the clock app when you hit the dim button.

Screens like Settings and the boot screen look normal. If I turn the brightness all the way up it is less noticeable but definitely still there.

Anybody else have this issue? It seems like a software problem more than a hardware issue since it doesn't happen all the time.
