Being a law student, I'm very much aware of the law and your example is moot. A more accurate one would be if you turned your car into an off-road vehicle. Then would the dealer cover it? Heck that's still not a good example because this is a PHONE not a CAR!

Precedent is clear in this case anyway..anyone who's taken first year Contracts will agree. The bottom line is that this country's judicial systrm recognizes a robust freedom of contract. When you expressly agree that you understand that the warranty is void when you unlock the bootloader, then a court will only side with you if you can prove you're mentally incapable of understanding what you agreed to. If you had a problem with it, you had the option of not doing it or returning the phone for a refund..a court would take that into consideration if you tried to argue that the warranty clause was unfair.

Anyway, I've written about this numerous times in a thread a month ago..so search there if you need more clarification. You guys need to man up and take responsibility if you make a decision that has consequences... way too many of you whine about this warranty, which is very straightforward and fair...at least HTC isn't lying and then screwing you when you file a claim. Remember Apple refusing to cover people's computers because they could tell people were smoking cigarettes around them?
[Nexus One General] mudrock1000:
I remember apple doing that. I wonder how much they paid to have ppl look for that :p

[HD2 General] katey_kate:
Hi,

I recently mapped a folder on my HD2 to the multimedia directory on my NAS device. I can view/open individual files through File/Resco Explorer as per normal, but I was wondering if it's possible to play back the MP3s/playlists in my mapped folder via the HD2's Music tab (or even just through WMP)? The Music tab seems to only display songs that are saved on the microSD card or on the phone itself, but nothing in a network folder.

If there's any app available, registry hack, or any other such thing to achieve this, then I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks very much,

Kate.

Jeesh, with all the work you all are doing I can't wait until the HD2 gets here. Wow! Thanks everybody.

Hey guys,

Does the launcher/browser/photo album and any other graphical UI rely on the processing by the GFX chip and it's memory? Are those functions suffering from the lack of allocated GFX memory?

Thanks.

Guys, wtf?! If you have nothing to contribute then don't post ****. I want you to delete your posts, now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skynet2Mainframe:
hay there it is a good question, but as far as i know it will suffer till the gfx drivers are released. as with the 10MB ram hack i would assume it would help as the gfx are not being used. but dont quote me on that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegaman:
Bit angry there. There's a search feature, that's their way of saying to use it because this has been answered.

And to be nice and give you the answer you should have easily found: The 10MB is taken from the 3D graphics allocation, so only things using 3D will suffer. For anything else, it benefits from another 10MB of RAM.

Also, while this shouldn't have been posted anyway, it doesn't belong in the development forum.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custommsp:
Thanks, but I know what the ram hack does. That's not the question. The question is whether applications like advanced launcher and the photo album rely on the gfx chip and its memory or only the main cpu for graphical processing/output.

Thank you, somebody understands my question! So it doesn't seem like it's an issue with android 1.5/1.6, then? How about the hero ports, does scrolling/animation of the various htc widgets rely on 3d acceleration like Manila3d in the windows phones?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
<=1.6 the apps in question do not use GPU accel, so do NOT suffer from 10MB hack.

>1.6 the apps in question *might* benefit from GPU accel (I don't know), but if they do, there are no GPU drivers anyways.

So while there are no GPU drivers, *not* using the 10MB hack is a waste. Once GPU drivers become available, 10MB hack will be a matter of personal preference.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custommsp:
Got it, thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domenukk:
Afaik they do not. Again it is just a matter of personal taste. I would not want to miss some of the cool games and eye candy apps(3d on htc roms is super fast), but I can see that every bit of ram is needed for sense.donut roms will work fine without.a small swap partition or compcache should be used if you like lots of widgets and multi tasking.

For 2.x roms, as stated above, ramhack has no disadvantages atm.

Is there any possible way to have two different keyboards depending on orientation without having to set it? I would love Swype in portrait and Smart Keyboard or HTC_IME in landscape and not have to change it manually. I'm sure there are others who would agree >;] I'm guessing it would have to be a frankenstein mashup of two keyboards or if there is a way to add it into the OS. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfajmkas:
This is relevant to my interests.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southeastbeast:
I think the best approach would be a customizable one so people can choose different keyboards because I won't want the same two as the next person. Just an idea to throw around if any devs are looking for new cool things to work on. >;]
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
I have really been wracking my brain as to how to make this work. I'm with you--Swype in portrait, stock in landscape. A mashup keyboard would be possible, if you could get the source from both. But that would be very difficult. The most feasible (and useful) way would be to have an app automatically change your settings for you based on orientation. There's no way to do this without root, though--no app has permission to change your keyboard settings. This would open a huuuuge security hole for spyware. So, we need root to directly access the configuration files and forcibly change from one keyboard to another. This is a huge can of worms to open, but it might just be doable. Any thoughts?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythefan:

I would like to see this as well! Though the stock keyboard for landscape is my preference. HTC_IME is a little too cramped for my tastes and the vibration lags a bit more.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananaslug:
Since apps are made to work together on android, would it be possible to make an app that basically would consider itself a keyboard and it would just choose one keyboard to run while in portrait and another to run while in landscape?

i think basically anything is possible for the most part theres been plenty done already that people said "wasnt possible" so ill keep asking and tryin to get it to happen til its a for sure a non possibility
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caecus:
I am looking into this now. It seems that there are two obvious routes:

- Services which hooks into the orientation changes of the phone and switches keyboard based on those.

- Services which acts as a soft keyboard and encapsulates two existing keyboards, showing the appropriate one depending on orientation.

I believe that the first option is simply not possible due due to the security implications put in by InputMethodManager. setInputMethod(android.os.IBinder, java.lang.String) Is what we want, but it is limited to only being usable from inside the currently active input method.

I am not sure if the second option is even possible as it requires hooking into lots of low level code of the soft keyboard which may not be accessible through interfaces. Will update you all with my findings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Good to see someone with the know-how is looking into it.

So it seems that this is actually much more complicated than the simple idea makes it sound.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caecus:
Sorry to get your hopes up. After a few hours research, it turns out that this is a fundamental security system which cannot be bypassed. It is not possible to change the input device from outside the input device itself. It is also not possible to get access to the inner functionality of input devices from outside.

All of these restrictions are to stop illicit applications from creating keyloggers or macro systems to drive the UI behind the users back. We will have to keep lobbying for the core Android developers to implement the ability to select two different IMEs depending on orientation. There is a feature request at the Android Google Code website. It's ID 7037.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Damn, well thanks for looking into it.

And unfortunately I was right about it being impossible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClausMontoya:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southeastbeast:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prophetjinn:
It's not completely a dead end. If someone had the know-how, they could just make a new app with the swype feature in portrait and a normal/HTC_IME kb in landscape. That wouldn't require changing input.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0fhyk:
I have managed to get a working prototype of that feature. It displays the list of enabled keyboards you have on your device, and let you choose whichever you like for landscape or portrait orientation.

It does require ROOT access.

I am testing it on Samsung captivate, but would like to test it functionality on more devices, before cleaning it up, and putting on the android market.

if anyone is up for it, let me know, and I will send you the code and instructions for setup.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaine2001:
Ineed that I use themed ime mod for school on landscape and swype on portrait
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0fhyk:
The application is rather simple so far. It shows you lists of the input method you have on your device, and allows you to specify different ones for portrait or landscape orientation.

It will then launch a service that's triggered by orientation's change events, and reset the input method based on your preference.

To do so, the service must run as system. Just copy the application under /system/app/.

Restarting after installation is recommended.

This is a work in progress. Occasionally, the keyboard switching shows lag. I am working on improving the app, so any feedback is appreciated.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REYES702:
I'm not sure if I did this right or not because I'm fairly new to playing with my system files but I put KeyboardManager.apk on my sdcard and I mounted the system and sdcard from ClockworkMod, went into cmd, into shell and typed:

mv /sdcard/KeyboardManager.apk /system/app/

unmounted both and rebooted system.

It shows installed in my apps, opens up when I choose it , changes settings but once finished, I go into ChompSMS and it doesn't work.

Did I do this right?

EDIT: by the way, I have a HTC DINC, with SR3.1 using Launcher Pro Plus

EDIT#2: I moved it back to my sdcard and installed using Astro. rebooted. Opened program got a FC. Tried to get the log but *#9900# does nothing. Is there something else I should be doing after I put that in my dialer?

EDIT#3: Replaced .apk that was installed with a new one via adb shell and it didn't FC, but it also didn't work. So now I'm back to square 1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0fhyk:
there should be a dialog telling how to get the log file once it 'force close'.

On my device, it's *#9900#, but it might be different based on the device.

Also, when you move the app to /system/app, change the owner and read/write access property to reflect the other apps in that folder.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeh0:
after some testing it seems to get stuck on certain modes. like, going from landscape android to portrait swype is fine. but then it will get stuck turning back until i view the "select input" menu but dont actually select it.

like just now i opened handcent in landscape and the correct keyboard came up. i minimized the keyboard, switched to portrait, and then swype came up. i minimized swype and went back to landscape and no keyboard will appear until i press the input box and press input method after which it appears behind the menu
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REYES702:
I'm in the midsts of looking for that dialog. I found a post with a bunch of codes the other day but have no clue where it was.

Works great on Inc with Skyraider 2.5.2

I dropped it on my sd card rebooted in to ClockworkMod, mounted system and sdcard, went into shell and typed:

rebooted and its been working good

EDIT: as jakeh0 mentioned it does tend to lock up if you keep switching between landscape and portrait, but i dont see myself constantly switching mid message...so for me its not a huge problem

EDIT2: I also noticed that I need to repick which keyboards I want everytime I reboot

John, would you be able to write up a quick instruction on how to do it in root explorer? The current way is much to complicated for me. I haven't even ventured into root explorer yet. If you can't no big deal but if it's easy and you have a few spare minutes it would help a dummy like me.
