takes minutes to do I did it in less than 5
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
unlocking the bootloader does NOT give you root, it simply ALLOWS you to root. Root access is part of a custom ROM (a modified kernel I beleive). You can leave the stock ROM on and just install the superboot image on top of it to get root access (see modaco's thread in development section).
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
so you also had to flash a new rom to the device, correct? do you think you could PM me a super simple way to do it... just the exact way you did it? i would greatly appreciate it bro
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
The easiest way would be to unlock the boot loader, then flash Armon's recovery, then flash Modaco's rooted stock ROM(he made a rooted version of the stock updated ROM, no changes other than the root).

It should take about 10 minutes total if you are experienced and bang it out... being new, probably take about 20-30 minutes since I am sure you will be double checking along the way.

There are some great guides in the Nexus One Dev section, the best IMO is this one:

If you already have the full update flashed, you don't need to do the radio again.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
wow. thak you. i'll have to dive into this a little bit later. hopefully it'll be easy.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
by the way... do you have to have the Android SDK installed for this to work? because it says to type different commands in, but into what terminal..?

windows XP MCE :D
[Nexus One General] Ovrclock:
zach, I was in the same boat as you, and I was looking for an ultra-noob friendly walkthru for rooting. I found youtube to be the best source, as you can see the process on someone else's phone first. I was shaky reading even the walkthru on xda forums, but youtube cleared it up. Just google "nexus one root" and you'll get a boat-load of videos.

Hope that helps....
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
Oh man I didn't even think of that. Thank you so much for the idea. :D
[Nexus One General] webgrafix:
The big reason I needed to root the phone was TETHERED access! Both wired and wireless.

I travel a bit, and more often than not I cannot get a decent WIFI signal, or I am in someplace that requires me to pay for access (like a hotel). Almost EVERY hotel in Las Vegas for instance requires you to pay for internet access.... but with tethering... I am golden and surfing the web for free.

I also use SetCPU for profiles for when my phone is sleeping, charging, etc. I can usually squeeze out a little more life in the battery this way. Also... CacheMate is a great tool (especially if you are not using Apps2SD) for recovering extra space.... it's a "root" required app.

If you are a App-o-holic.... and NEED the extra room on your phone... you will want or need Apps 2 SD... .. and will need to have root access to do this.

Hope these suggestions help.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Some of my favorite things about rooting are Cyan's High-Mem Kernel, doubling the memory available, Tethering, Themeing(I can't stand the standard notification bar), and setting my clock speed to stay between 998 and 768. If you think the Nexus is fast now wait till you get High-Mem and change your CPU Clock settings.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
so i rooted :D havent been able to take advantage yet.

where could i get apps 2 sd?

i'm also interested in this... A LOT! how would i go about getting all of the aforementioned items (kernel, x2 memory, etc) on my nexi?

thank you all guys

Had one for my iPhone 3G and it was PERFECT.
[Nexus One Accessories] Huey85:
Best iPhone case I used was the incase slider - wish there were cases like that for the N1. Seidio Innocase II is somewhat similar, but the cutouts could be a bit better. Also, quite expensive trying to buy the case and getting it delivered to Aus.
[Nexus One Accessories] galaxys:
Nice looking cases in the links...we definately need more case selections than just Seidio!
[Nexus One Accessories] bigant262:
I've e-mailed both companies, Switcheasy said they are only doing Apple products right now but who knows what the future will hold, and case mate hasnt gotten back to me yet. Hopefully one of them starts or maybe a different company will.
[Nexus One Accessories] Huey85:
I think I recall reading in another thread that Case-mate are going to start manufacturing Naked cases. They already have Clear Armour for the N1.
[Nexus One Accessories] mr_skot:
I emailed Speck and they said to basically monitor the website for new products.

It was a canned response. :-(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kidblue:
Whoa - So in an effort to get to a point where my phone would ring for calls (and only calls) - Outlined in this thread - I've somehow managed to completely do away with vibration for notifications.

I'm running Cyanogen 4.2.14.1.

In other words - The device will audibly notify, but not vibrate, except for calls - Of course, I've double-and-triple checked everything, all my vibration settings for notifications are fine and I've uninstalled all the various applications that I was using to do it.

It has to be a preference that got knocked out of whack by one of the above-listed utilities...

What's my next option to get vibration back?

Thanks,

Noah
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KAwAtA:
Hey Noah,

I had the exact same problem as you. I had no idea why my vibration died on me. Turned on the phone, it gave a vibrate so it definately wasn't broken. Checked and made sure all the vibration stuff was enabled. Unfortunately, I decided to reflash the rom! I simply backed up my stuff using MyBackup, wiped, flashed the rom again and the vibration came back. It takes a few minutes, not too long but make sure you use the mybackup or any other backup program otherwise setting up everything again is a pain in the arse. Maybe someone else has a better solution but if not (I think it's better you don't wait too long for another suggestion! lol), just do this and you should be ok!

edit

I just re-read your post and checked out the other thread. How the heck did you manage to stop vibrations but not turn them back on? That is so weird.. double check everything. Check settings within text messages and see if its all enabled again. In the worst case scenario, youll probably have to do the above

[Touch2 General] mora_93:

[Touch2 General] Psychshock3r:
you can't find any because there's no hardware acceleration for d3d, MSM7x01 MSM7x27 series cpus have adreno on the SoC (adreno 130 and 200), so don't be hopeful, also gfxboost won't help you too much :)

Does anyone know where to get a video player that plays compressed avi files? I'v tried every player available to me in the market but so far nothing. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] silencer25321:
you can't, you need to convert to mp4 inoder to watch movies or videos on android. i use Video Player to watch the vids and Handbrake to convert to mp4 handbrake.fr is the website i believe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] llotech:
Thanks silencer,

I don't really understand why this has to be this way, but I'll take your word for it. I thought it only required some kind of codec to play different kinds of videos.

Thanks again, HandBrake works great.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
DivX is a proprietary codec, which means licensing fees for every phone. Don't talk about XviD, it's a knock-off/reverse engineered DivX codec and will never come stock on a phone.

Android != windows - You can't just drop in codecs that the player wasn't compiled with.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AMoosa:
Could somebody not port the media player from the new Archos Android device. It plays almost all video formats including Divx and Xvid.

By the way, there is a paid-for app on the marketplace called yxflash which will play xvid and divx, albeit a bit choppy. There is a trial version which will play for 2 minutes that you could try out.

The Archos player would be cool though!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XVilka:
I'm found way to porting xvid on android

But its only a libxvidcore.so

You must write an application to use it, but it's not so hard.

export _XXCFLAGS=" -mcpu=cortex-a8 -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=vfpv3 -O3 -Os" (if you have Motorola Milestone/Droid or other device with TI OMAP3430)

export _XXCFLAGS=" -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1136jf-s -O3 -Os" (if you have HTC Hero or other device with Quallcomm MSM 7200A)

or others flags for your device, based on information of his chip.

also you must have cross-toolchain to build it.

cd src/build/generic

./configure --host=arm --target=arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi CC="arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc" \

CXX="arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-g++" STRIP="arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-strip" \

OBJDUMP="arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-objdump" NM="arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-nm" \

CROSS_COMPILE="arm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-" \

CFLAGS=" -nodefaultlibs -nostdlib -fPIC $_XXFLAGS" \

LDFLAGS=" -fPIC -static -s -L$HOME/build/cross/sys-root/usr/lib -lm -lc" --prefix="$HOME/build/cross/sys-root/usr"

cd =build

rm-android-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ld -shared -s -o libxvidcore.so -whole-archive libxvidcore.a

libxvidcore.so - shared library without any dependencies (only kernel!, not libc)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inform for toolchain

Based on crosstol-ng with gnu gcc + uClibc + kernel sources from your device vendor.

If needed i can post advanced information with sample configs. But i'm have very bad memory - so if you needed advanced howto - please send direct (private) message.

there is a vey simple way to deactivate the data connection: long press the on/off key and you will get a little menu: one of the menu items is deactivate data connection. Press it and it's done.

[HD2 General] traianescu:
no cab needed, the answer is on the HTC site:

How do I disable my 3G/GPRS Data Connection?

Follow the steps below to ensure that your phone will never connect to a GPRS/3G Data Connection.

1. Go to Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Connections > Connections

2. Tap Add a new modem connection > then under Select a modem, select Celluar Line (GPRS) > Name the Connection "Offline" >Tap Next.

3. In the Access point name text box input "Offline" and tap Next.

4. On the next page tap Finish.

5. On the second Connections Menu, tap Manage existing connections and select "Offline" then click OK.

Re-enable the data connection if you want to connect to the internet via 3g/Edge.

1. From the home screen, slide to the Settings tab, Wireless Controls > Data Connection.

2. Select your Country and Operator

3. Tap OK.

4. On the subsequent screen, tap Yes.

The phone will automatically configure itself with the appropriate settings.

Note: When disabling the connection in this way, your phone may report errors when trying to connect to "Offline." The error is caused by the phone being unable to connect to a data source due to the settings, and is normal.

Sorry lots of questions. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.

[HD2 Accessories] AVN37:
Hello,

I have the Freedom Universal Keyboard and on my previous device, HTC Tytn with WM5 I used a bluetooth keyboard remapped with AEKMapper for my Czech layout. Everything worked just fine, even when I didn't install the drivers from manufacturer and used the ones in WM5.

Now, on the HD2, I could pair it right away and it worked in its original layout quite well(even though I couldn't use shift to select a text going over multiple lines, just on the line of the cursor, and AltGr didn't work at all).

I installed AEKMap in its newest version (1.3, free) and loaded my own layout that I used back on the Tytn. BUT as soon as I hit Load Now to load the layout, all the keys that are somehow remapped stopped working. Now I could just type the letters that I didn't mention in the layout script at all. So useless for me. After unloading the layout in AEKMap everything works back in the English layout.

I need my layout, because without it, all the special characters (?!,.-= etc.) are in different places and since I have Czech layout on my home keyboard, it's confusing PLUS my school notes look sucky and they're difficult to learn without diacritics like carons and acutes.

PLEASE help me. As we speak more and more of my school notes are being written improperly...

EDIT: solved, just selecting a SIP keyboard other than the HTC one enabled the remapped characters. Did not enable the hotkeys like Alt+stuff for special characters or Win+stuff to launch programs.
[HD2 General] Dustee:
Good day guys,

I'm in the process of getting the wonderful HTC LEO :), my question is there any application or future plans for full flash support like for websites; for example to be able to browse Beatport. For instance I know that the Nokia N900 has this feature.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] barty22:
With a little searching you would have found the answer.

In short; it is kinda already possible with the skyfire browser. It is not real flash support though, but it does allow you to view websites that use flash. Do a search for skyfire to read how it works.

Full and real flash support is coming to hd2, and this will be a thousand times better than the solution with skyfire. It's confirmed by adobe that this will be released within a few months time.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
There's plans for everything, but as of yet, they have not materialized. Honestly, I am not all that excited about it. Steve Jobs had it right to say that Adobe was lazy. They are. Soon enough, flash will make way for HTML 5, which does all that flash can do, only better and easier to implement. Flash is the cause of almost every browser crash, specifically on the Mac platform at least, and without flash, we get few banner adds, etc. If I want to watch a video online, there are other solutions rather than playing them inline with the browser, etc. I prefer it that way, actually. It keeps the browser more stable and faster.
[HD2 General] lupipe:
You can do it with skyfire browser, i'm on beatport right now - page is like on computer..still i have one bug..when i tap on a search field to write artist name i can't get keyboard to write down and when i tap on browser to search for a page keyboard is automaticly there..weird

It's slow, buggy and only some older flash content works. The website that the OP wants to see will most likely not work (though I don't know the site)
[HD2 General] barty22:
Yes. Nothing in the future can be said with 100% certainty, but yes I'd almost bet my life on it. Don't worry, adobe already confirmed it and opera will follow with an update when flash has been released.

I had the same problem when trying to log into the facebook data sync feature when I first got the phone.

Nope that is not the problem, I changed my password to 8 chars digits only still doesn't work at all. I gotta say this is my 4th and probably last HTC device. There are always irritating bugs in HTC software in most basic features. Damn it, the YouTube login is an internal feature of HTC software and even that doesn't work, these guys are really something. What's the use in having features if I cannot use them like the youtube, which woule have been nice uploading videos directly to YouTube.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Calm down mate. It works perfectly for me and everyone else most of the time. Occassionaly, there will be an issue with the YouTube servers that stops the app functioning fully. It's nothing to do with the app or HTC, so get onto YouTube and complain to them, because that's where the problem is. Otherwise, it wouldn't be intermittent. It just wouldn't work, or it would.
