Correction, GPS is not always active, it only becomes active once the application is activated, meaning you are not emitting a GPS signal at all times, only when you start to track it does it do that so it does not take up battery.

So far, you can make Mobile Defense a system application by moving it into the system memory as a system application. This will prevent uninstall and, if not already the feature to remotely activate the GPS after its been disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] rogershroed1991:
How do you do that?

And you're right about the GPS not constantly being activated, I tried it out, it's pretty nice.
[Android Apps and Games] mautai916:
I had Mobile Defense, then i switched to Wave Secure. MUCH better. Its still there even tho you wipe the phone, and backs up your contacts, messages, and pictures, all ONLINE for free. Can't beat that!
[Android Apps and Games] :
I'll look into this. I'm die hard mobile defense, but i wipe so damn much i don't have it half the time.
[Android Apps and Games] Reeves360:
Mobile Defense vs Wave Secure

I can't seem to find a way to get WaveSecure to kick on my GPS. Device tracking is pretty much useless and hasn't been able to lock onto my location all day.

Although it is super sweet for backing up almost everything on your Android phone. Which is something I don't believe MobileDefense does.

I still like MobileDefense for tracking my phone because it has the ability to turn on GPS remotely via a SMS. Don't forget you can active a car alarm sound remotely as well.

I can't wait to get a Dell Mini 5 and hope one of these companies add anti-theft device lock with auto snap shots with E-Mail back up!

I have a kaiser in excellent shape with 4 gb card. Gonna put it on ebay, what's a good price?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Depends on location and how good quality the device is?

I'd say £80'ish not sure on $ as on ebay.com they asking for silly money...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] joedaddy713:
I ran haret like normal I saw that on the screen it said running a check of the files which it would do every 180 days or every 27 boots whichever comes first. I don't really mind it checking the files for errors and what not but its been doing this for an hour and its still going anyone know how much longer I will have to wait? Or if its better just to reboot my phone and run android on the weekend when I'm not busy? just wondering I'm going to let it keep running for another hour at the most then I'm going to have to reboot since I'm going to need my phone. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
So I was thinking...almost every contribution we are privileged to have are hosted in a myriad of locations (rapidshare, megaupload, mediafire, etc...) which have links that may or may not work due to loads, due to proxy issues, due to solar flares?

This lead me to a possible project idea. I have a hosting solution which may come in handy if you guys think this is a worthwhile idea...

basically this is what I can offer...

// copy/pasted from my monthly invoice

Bandwidth:

Total Bandwidth Provided:	unlimited GB

Total Used So Far:	7.527 GB

Estimated Usage For Cycle:	42.151 GB

Storage:

Total Disk Space Provided:	unlimited

Month Average:	33.4 GB

Currently Using:	36.1 GB

Estimated Average Usage:	35.5 GB (at end of billing period)

So as you can see, space and pipe are not of any concern to me.

Would creating a file hosting solution for all projects (themes, apps, random source needs, roms, whatever) be of any use? If so, how would you guys like to see this setup? If not, that's cool too!

I am completely open to suggestions :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] littlejob:
not sure if you ever herd of cydia, or installous for the iphone. It was a app that housed link to various apps and themes.

maybe something like that? gotta start with the server to host, then build interface.

-Brandon
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
of course I've heard of Cydia. I think that may be overkill but not something I am willing to rule out.

Basically I want to get a feel for if this is a solution that those giving back to the community would actually use. I know I know..if you build it... :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Know-Fear:
So basically something like AndroidSpin already has? More direct link hosts would be great. Especially when new roms come out and the server is overloaded with downloads and your speed is crap.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Agreed. Offers such as these are very generous and often go unappreciated. AndroidSpin has this set up well with most devs onboard. Maybe PM SimonWalker and offer a mirror service, because as Know-Fear said, a hot release drops and the race to be first can cause bottlenecks. Or do your own thing. Whatever happens, just wanted to say thanks for thinking of us. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
I completely forgot about androidspin. Setting up a mirroring service may be the best solution. If he has people on-board already it makes no sense to fork such efforts.

Shooting a pm off.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SimonNWalker:
A mirror solution would be a good choice.

Most of the time we have very few issues, but lately we experienced issues with HostGator.

We are in the process if switching to a dedicated host.

We currently transfer at least 6,000gb a month, and host aroung 40gb of files. :)

A mirror that could help take some of this load would be great.

We'd need to come up with a solution to Sync the files between any mirrors as well.

This is already listed in the Open Community projects on AndroidSPIN as something to look at in relation to the Community Release Database Project that is currently underway.

You can find more here.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] deprecate:
a dedicated solution is a MUST with numbers like those. As stated above, there are no caps with what I can move and how much space I can take up. Sooooo...

...I can easily satisfy that :)

I will read up on that. Thanks!
[HD2 General] SAppie:
Any cooks out there have any news on the new Leap functionaility that is being shown on the new Desire and Legend Android phones?

Leap is the new pinching function that allows you to view all your home screens at the same time on one screen.

I guess that this will come in a future Sense build. Any news out there??????? Would be gr8 to have this in one of the good old Dutty or Miri ROMS.
[HD2 General] z_rudy:
The WM version of Sense UI does not have multiple home screens. I doubt HTC is going to develop this feature before builds have multiple and customizable home pages start appearing.

I'd more be hoping to get a Facebook friends feed as a tab... I'd love to see it on my HD2.
[HD2 General] SAppie:
OK, cool, well that explains that then, cheers.

Agree, a facebook tab would be a gr8 addition... i'm sure it will come soon....
[HD2 General] Daveyg99:
Hello,

A couple of questions I wouldn't mind u guys answering please..

I have updated the SPLon the HD2 I am on T-mobile UK network without issue.

Q2 Now with the amount of roms available which ones are compatible with t-mobile i.e normal operation? Reading through some threads it appears that T-mobile have restricted some functionality on the HD2.

So I am looking for a compatible rom, that unlocks the features and of course ensure phone stability.

my rom is 1.43.110.2(70315) WWE

radio version 2.04.50.22_2

Thanks in advance

Dave
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
there are no roms that are not compatible with any network.

the issues are generally that the data connection doesn't get set up correctly, but it's a breeze to set them up manually.
[HD2 General] Daveyg99:
Ok thanks I will give it a go, any recommended version comes to mind?

thanks
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
personally, Duttys HG ROMs are sweet, the latest is linked on my signature
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
roms are a very personal thing. the one in my sig is my fave just like eddyos prefers dutty.

try them, see which you like and use it.
[HD2 General] Daveyg99:
Great stuff,

I appreciate both of your inputs!!!

I am on a learning curve with all this, I have just had to reset my SPL back to default this afternoon which freaked me out as I have a screen problem with a LCD leak, and learned that HTC dont like customisations which will invalidate the gaurantee; but the SPL reload worked ok, and a perfectly described process on youtube thanks to this site and contributers.

I have only had this phone for two weeks. However, I am confident now with upgrading when I get my phone back.

Regards

Dave
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ahh unlucky. still, at least you had a practice run eh? better luck next time!
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
I have always noticed that it is a good habit to do a Hard Reset after Rom Flash, but I am wondering if I am doing this correctly, so can anyone help me out?

I have always flashed ROMs, then as the system reboots, I have allowed the boot... skipped all setup....and then went straight to settings>security and did the 1234 Hard Reset. Is there a better way to do it?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
let the setup complete, turn off the phone , press and hold both vol up and vol down, press and release power (keep holding vol up and down)

on grey screen press vol up phone will restart and run setup again.
[HD2 General] antaed:
that's the way i also do it, no problems whatsoever. if you cannot access the security setting for some reason, you can always do it with the volume and start hardware keys. i think there is no difference, just like there's no difference between the red button reset and restart from the menu.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
So as soon as it reaches 100%, the phone restarts itself. I am to stop this process? Sorry, I just want to be sure I am doing it correctly. When should I interrupt the normal restart procedure?
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Ah, well... maybe I'll just stick with what I know. :)

It's also worked without issue for me, so...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I let out run all the way through setting up and then hard reset. (sounds off to me too but hey)

ThrottleLock App

I am simply loving this app. Great work. But i wanna report a small bug that if u are on lock screen and press the home tab then it will go on home whereas lock screen will be running in background. Turn off the screen and then turn on it will again show u the lock screen.

I m using v0.9.1 of this app
[Nexus One General] dim4x4:
Hi!

Just got a N1 today! :)

Could someone please suggest a calls (voice) recoder that make GOOD recording of BOTH parties during conversation.

There's a trick on WinMo that let's you record the other person's voice in-line, not from the mic, thus making it very well heard. Then on top of that HTC In Call Recorder or anything else can be used.

Basically what do I need to do to record calls clearly on N1?

Thank you!
[Nexus One General] krumb:
Google Voice has the ability to record calls. Sounds great, too. If I had an invite, I'd shoot you one.
[Nexus One General] finesta101:
But you would then have to use the number they provide...
[Nexus One General] krumb:
win-win? :D
[Nexus One General] pmax11:
Can you explain why Google voice is advantageous for you? I understand its features, but I dont see why so many people are switching to using it. Do you use its benefits all that much? If so, which ones?
[Nexus One General] dim4x4:
Thank you for the invite, but I indeed need to use my own mobile number. Any apps that don't record from the mic, but straight from the line?
[Nexus One General] Android Touch:
Droid Recorder
[Nexus One General] krumb:
I send texts via google.com/voice...I record some of my phone calls, as needed for work...

I keep trying to come up with some reason why having multiple numbers attached to my one phone is advantageous...but I can't. :p
[Nexus One General] Pochemuchka1977:
Where can it be found ?
[Nexus One General] Android Touch:
The market.
[Nexus One General] Pochemuchka1977:
There is no "Droid Recorder" in the market. There is Recordoid, but it records from the mic and not from the line directly
[Nexus One General] bahathir:
vRecorder ?
[Nexus One General] Pochemuchka1977:
One of the comments in adrolib: "Well, just installed the apparently on nexus1. Auto record works fine however, I can only my voice get recorded and not the other side."

So far I haven't found an application that makes records directly from line and not from the mic
[Nexus One General] dim4x4:
Ok. Thanks for the responces. Will stick with Topaz for now, will use N1 as a backup

[Nexus One General] littlejob:
put it on speaker? lol
[Nexus One General] dim4x4:
Google Voice or recording from speaker are not satisfactory options for me :( Will wait for ROMs/programs that will be able to do it in the future.
[Nexus One General] ovigt71:
it doesn't work with Motorola Droid/Milestone or Nexus One, ar any device which is coming with 2.0 or later....
[G1 Android Development] cj64:
At my university, the lab computers are locked down and won't allow the installation of Android's USB drivers. This prevents adb from connecting to the ADP1 via USB, but I can use another computer which does have USB permissions and use

adb tcpip 2222

to restart adbd in TCP listen mode on port 2222. Then, on a lab computer I can connect to the ADP1 using

adb connect <IP>:2222

and install packages, open a shell, etc.

My question is, how can adbd be preconfigured on the ADP1 to listen on a specified port on boot, instead of waiting for a USB connection and the above two commands?

This is "insecure" but it doesn't matter because the lab computers and wireless network are private, and the ADP1 has no SIM card and connects to the internet only via WiFi.

It seems that one way to do this involves editing the boot image to modify init.rc --- I'm prepared to do that, but I'm hesitant to spend the time trying it because I can't find any documentation saying what port adbd will listen on by default, or if it will listen on TCP at all.

tl;dr: Instructions on how to start adbd on boot in TCP listen mode? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] bohlool:
Did you find any answer to this? anybody knows how to enable it directly on phone without usb cable?
[G1 Android Development] Gerdal:
http://nookdevs.com/ADB_Over_USB

"By default, you won't be able to use adb over wifi, using this module/adbd. But if you set the persist.adb.tcp.port system property setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555 it will cause adbd to listen on the specified port so you can use adb over both usb and wifi. Note that adb over wifi is insecure and not recommended. Anyone on the same local network could potentially connect to your nook."

Maybe this will help you? :)
[G1 Android Development] bohlool:
Not working

Thanks, but it didnt work. I tried the command in su mode, even restarted the adb service with stop/start command, no error but still can't connect to device over wifi. I can ping the device, so the connection is there. Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] bohlool:
Solved

I finally solved the problem. these are the commands to enable adb over wifi:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd

and to disable it:

setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd

I assume you need su access to run it. I tested it and its working.
[G1 Android Development] bohlool:
Worked for me
[G1 Android Development] u-foka:
Hy!

I found my way of doing the same thing...

You have to enable dropbear ssh server on your device, and then you can forward the port 5037 (where adb listens by default on localhost only) to your computer trough ssh from your computer.

From your linux box, you can do this with this command:

ssh root@192.168.3.109 -L 5555:localhost:5037

and then (but keep the ssh session open):

adb connect localhost

that's it :)

(note that you have to enable usb debugging for this to work!)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
that's pretty convenient. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] asususer:
Thanks and this works for me!!!

Hey guys, im working on getting roms ported over to the moto droid from some htc devices, is there any how to or some recomended steps on where to start for this?
[HD2 General] anomandrus:
Dear all,

Lately with the help of other forum members I've noticed that my 16GB class 2 micro SD is not working well with all cooked ROMs. I use it at the moment with the 1.66 Stock ROM- the card is full of music, photos etc. and works perfectly fine. I believe that a lot of the cooked ROMs have some kind of problem with the driver for SDHC (class 2). I know the card is slow however it works perfectly on the stock ROM. Do you have any suggestions?
[HD2 General] Gurgulio:
I have a 16 GB SDHC class2 Scandisk

I had the same problems with the speed

I have the following solution

With an external card reader, a full formatting with 32 kb cluster

then insert the card back into the HD2 and from there own distinct once the card with the HD

Formatting tools to format and optimize

This has helped me and since then I have had no problems with the speed more
[HD2 General] smaberg:
I can confirm that... you can play with the formatting settings with an external formatting tool to get very good speeed...
[HD2 General] bobsbbq:
What kind of formatting tool do you recommend. And do you think FAT 16 is better? I have read that FAT 16 with 64 kb is faster than FAT 32 with 32kb cluster.
[HD2 General] Gurgulio:
if you format with fat 16 you have more waste with fat table

but you are right you loose space with fat 16 and win speed:)
[HD2 General] smaberg:
much true, best thing is to test it out, i got approx 30% more speed (benched) but on my other card(different brand) i got only 15%), so try and see...:eek:
[HD2 General] fards:
if chefs are removing cachefilt then you may have some issues.. but I doubt they *all* are..

do you have encryption on the card?
[HD2 General] anomandrus:
I do not have any encription. Probably "all" is a bit exagarated.. and I do appologize by all means. I have tried the following ROMs: Dutty's, Miri's, Artemis, Laurentius, Energy (with this one I had less problems..), XannyTech and several others. I mean all the chefs are doing a great job but I kept wondering why the card is working well on the stock ROMs and not on the cooked ones.

So you guys recommend formatting the card on FAT16? I am gonna try and see. Thank you all.
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
I don't think many chefs are removing this module but maybe I'm wrong you never know. :p:D

My experience is not many chefs are XIP patching haha..
[HD2 General] fards:
I sometimes wonder how many actually know what the xip is never mind tweak it :p
[HD2 General] anomandrus:
I finished formating and benchmarking. The results from FAT 32 and FAT are the same. :( Will try reflashing and see if there's adifference but at that points I doubt it. Question still remains open - Why the heck it works fine on official ROMs and not on cooked ones..
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Maybe it has something todo with this tweak just a wild ques. :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] marginean.m:
Hi all!

Suddenly today I've noticed something...I never use the BACK hardware key on my diamond. The reason is that this button doesn't seem to make anything different than the HOME button. (of course, I may be wrong! If so, please someone point that difference.) So, the obvious idea came to me: why don't we try to remap this button.

I know that there are apps that do just that (AEBPlus for example) but if you tried these programs you know they use up to 20% of RAM (I'm talking about AEBPlus again). So this is not the best option.

Rather than these 3rd party software, I was thinking to remap the button before the RAM is cocked by means of hard-coding. Sadly for me I do not possess this kind of knowledge so I ask kindly if someone could do this for the community (if it can be done).

I thought that this button could have a similar function as the ALT-TAB but to tell you the truth anything would be better than the original function.

Waiting for your replays...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] extrapurifier:
Or maybe more easier with a registry hack. I am also interested in remapping the back button!
