How would a os dependent process run while the os is not running?

Vdelf

hi,

thanks for the explanation on how to get android running on X1,am sure you will make it even better on development!

-when will it be possible to get running from the phone itself instead of the sd card because when i shutdown android when it comes back on it's windows!!!strange!

shouldn't it be android booting?

Hope to get more updates on this and as soon as all is in place will lose windows mobile and run android for good!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] niltonnunes@intra.co.mz:
Hi matejdro,

where can i get more android updates?

am still running windows mobile on my X1 but am very eager to migrate into android since my test drive last night!

in case you have some information to send me please e-mail @: nilton.nunes@logicanetworks.com

thanks

sim card is unlockable

Hi together,

I'm unable to unlock my SIM-Card ist that correct?

and if not can anyone help?

thanks

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] drlucky:
(a) try the search ... it's one of my favourite questions. You need to disable the SIM in WinMo (doesn't know exactly, try the forum search)

(b) we definitely need to create a sticky FAQ thread. I know, doesn't work for all, but I'm a helpless optimist :-)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] theschitz:
Clock

Very nice! Works very well for me :) looking forward to more updates!

However, I noticed that when rebooting back to WinMo after using android for a while my clock was of 1 hr back.

I don't se that as a problem, but since I couldn't find any other mentions of it...

Maybe in some strange galaxy far away that info is worth something for someone... ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Well, i noticed that after i overslept for one hour :D

Linux and WiMo handle the summertime change differently. Linux seem to set the clock back one hour. I changed my timezone to London, now the time stays the same in android and WiMo :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
For any progress on flashing android to the phone, please visit this thread. Some very capable member are already trying to create a rom for easy flashing. At the moment it is at a very early stage, and far away from release.

And no, it is correct that Windows is booting after reset. Nothing is changed on the phone memory. You have to run android using haret from WiMo.

can someone help? the sound works :D but

in the ringtone in android i only see silent, how can i have more ringtones

someone previously wrote to put mp3 files in

storagecard/media/ringtones

but didnt work for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] linuxtux:
Hi dexteral; try adding mp3 files to sdcard/media/audio/ringtones.

DID IT WORK FOR U? can u xplain as it didn't for me
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] engineer1:
you're right, it work because the light is turn off, but the problem is that the display light never turn on.

This cab can aid to reduce the battery consumption because the light is turn off, but when you are in an iluminated site, you don't see nothing on display.

I still waiting for a final solution!!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Xperiod brightness control dont work yet even with auto backligth turned off AFAIK.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] katinsh:
Although, I think it is better with this ADD, than without it. Battery consumption really goes down.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] daunown:
is there a way to make it work on X2?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] katinsh:
Not yet, I think there is no reason to make it, because of Xperia X10 release
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Stremon:
yeah it works great ! ^^

but do you know how i can see the files on my sd card (mp3, pictures,...) ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Jonny4911:
doesnt gallery etc work?

otherwise install ASTRO file browser its in the marketplace (and is free ;))
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Stremon:
thx, astro works great :)

and I can use gallery also, but sadly I can't set my mp3 as ringtones, even with the audio menu in astro... :'(

I also have an issue with the last kernel with battery.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Jonny4911:
:( Youtube app (stolen from XDAndriod :P) doesn't work! vidoes play but there is no video, just sound...

also for the ringtones and such you should have a seperate audio in your media folder! then inside there have a ringtones folder... or you could just steal the layout from xdandroid like i did :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dexteral:
just go to music and set as ringtone
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Stremon:
thx for your help :p

I have all my ringtones in media\ringtones folder, but my phone can't recognize them... :( I can see them in astro, but the audio options are greyed...

I have took the layout from xdandroid, but it does the same.

I can't see my music in every music player of android I tried (I tried with .mp3, .m4a, .wav...), but strangely I can see the sounds downloaded with softwares on market (like facebook notification).

I don't understand what I've done wrong :P
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Simmilar problem here. I'm using default media folder from XDAndroid, but phone still recognize only silent.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Take a look at this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5309656&postcount=1391

It seems, that the media scanner crashes on certain characters in the filename. Maybe thats why you dont see ringtones. Please pm me if that helps (or post here), then i will add this to first post.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] matejdro:
Someone was calling me few minutes ago and android ringed. I didn't changed anything in settings.

I wanted to check selected ringtone but android just popped out message that battery is 0% and shutdown, but it was around 70% and connected to computer :D.

Also i was playing with android today and there were very annoying messages popping out every minute, about battery being 7-15% (number was varying up and down), while it was actually somewhere between 90% and 100% (checked in WM just before launching android).

Back to topic: just checked card with program attached in topic you linked and there were entries found, but none in media folder. I'm using sound package included with XDAndroid.

Folders structure is MEDIA\AUDIO\ringtones and there are oog files. Media and audio folders are uppercase.

EDIT: Just checked and sounds are there. I guess it needed some time to search the card.:)

Hey guys i want to buy a nexus one ..but whats stopping me is the lack of Video Calling thru skype or gtalk. I did some searching on the net and came up with Ustream and another streaming program for adriod. But i want to ask if anyone of you will test the app out and tell me about its quality? Like how good is the picture? Laggy? Pixelated?

Also i am thinking that it might somehow be possible with flash? :S (i think not)

Please Guys :(..really need that tested before i jump the gun
[Hero CDMA General] a99tandem:
I've been looking around to see if there is anything new on this front, but in both of the 2.1 roms I have flashed the ## codes don't work. Neither ##RTN#or ##DATA# work The reason I need to get to these tools is because I switch from phone to phone quite a bit, and flashed these roms while the phone was not active. Usually to reactivate my data, I just do ##DATA# (##3282#) and punch in my MSL and my data works fine. As it stands, I can't do that. I was having to flash my 1.5 nandroid backup, update my data settings, then flash back to 2.1. Unfortunately, my nandroid backup of 1.5 got wiped out when I accidentally hit backup on a 2.1 rom when I was trying to restore 1.5. So does anyone know a way to restore my data profile..? Thanks in advance.

PS: I know xparadigm (THANKS!) was going to post a stock 1.5 nandroid backup file. I'll use that for a short term fix.. But I'd still like to know what progress has been made getting ## radio codes working.

Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
Also interested in this... where'd you find the nandroid 1.5 backup?
[Hero CDMA General] a99tandem:
I had done a nandroid backup of my own 1.5 rom. It just got overwritten. :(
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
I don't have a 1.5 stock either... sorry...
[Hero CDMA General] a99tandem:
Nevermind gang! I looked at my SD contents and found that nandroid didnt overwrite my old backup.. it just timestamped a new one and wrote the newest one back. I just deleted the newest one and I'm back in business. I still wish my ## codes would work though.
[Hero CDMA General] mindctrl:
##778# works on DamageControl's 2.1 ROM. I'm not sure if that's the same thing you're looking for, but it gave me access to a bunch of the data settings.
[Hero CDMA General] danimal_01:
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't DC's ROM based off a GSM leak? So if that is the case GSM doesn't have the same number codes as Sprint does because it's a different network and oh yea a different bandwidth all together. I think your number codes won't be fixed until the new 2.1 is pushed from Sprint and then the files that we need to fix all the 2.1 Rom's here are ported. I guess for now you're stuck going back and forth to get your data profile..

is anyone using the search function on this site? Just wondering.

Answer: They are looking.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
I found it last week, even posted a how to on here. So far only one person has reported it works, no one has reported that it doesnt.

Step one

Reboot your phone holding down the trackball, power button, call button, volume up and down at the same time.

Step two

place know on a hard surface

Step three

Using a large rock, smash phone.

Step four

go to

http://ebay.com

Step five

Buy new phone running 1.5

Downgrade Successful

btw good tutorial jcase :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] afoulke:
Jcase I think you have the clearest downgrade instructions on XDA! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] hks18psigst:
most likely the developers downgraded and gave up on posting a how to: when this stuff happens it happens fast i find it hard to believe the downgrading wasn't already figured out. no offense to the developers..

lol oh and jcase telling us to smash our phones basically is him saying hahaaa you all are screwed have fun being stuck on that smelly ass leak
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamezelle:
Actually htc has made it almost, if not, impossible to downgrade. We have tried everything we could think of

thats about the most working downgrade as of now :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] hks18psigst:
Yeah almost impossible that's what they said about Eris getting rooted... lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
hks18psigst,

We work on downgrading daily, well at least one dev does. You know we also have families, kids, jobs, school, other stuff etc.

I have 2.1 leak and root, I want a downgrade as well.

However I invite you to join us, in finding a downgrade. I am positive you will be jsut as sucessful as we have been so far.

[Droid Eris Android Development] hks18psigst:
I know you all have families jobs lives.. by all means I'm not rushing you guys. Just getting a little depressed seeing go smash your phone posts.

And if my girlfriend didn't have the Eris as a daily user I would 100% be trying whatever it takes to root but its the only Verizon phone we have at the moment.. ever since my g1's I've been a flashaholic..
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
hks18psigst,

Please come join us in our work, we are on irc.wastate.net #root working on the downgrade.

As far as I am concerned, the only ones who get to complain are those who are working on it.

[Droid Eris Android Development] hks18psigst:
Would love to help but girlfriend won't let me use her device for testing.. and I'm not complaining about the downgrade status cause its my fault I jumped the gun and updated to a leak.. but complaining about how I was scared in regards to your downgrade how to.. but now that I know that it was a joke I'm a lot better. .. and if I can help with out a device I'll be more then happy to
[Droid Eris Android Development] Austinjs0102:
just a question.

i havent dont any developing, just know java so far. just need to ask where do i begin. DO i need specific programs or is there something i can use. Just let me know, thanks!

i also am on the leak so will do what i can when i can to maybe get a downgrade.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scottdot2008:
To start you should go and get the android SDK. I'm sure you could google those terms and it would lead you somewhere in the right direction. The SDK website has plenty of info, including install install instructions and programs that would help you begin developing

ampinc - can I ask, do you have insurance or are you able to get this as part of the 1 year warranty that comes on all these phones?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
smoked_toast

its part of the warranty i only had this phone for 3 mnts
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
what did you tell them was wrong, exactly? i haven't had mine for a year and am stuck on the leak. did they hassle you?

if Verizon receives your phone and sees the 2.1 leak on there will that invalidate your warranty claim? or COULD it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] smoked_toast:
Thanks - may have to look into doing this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
this is what i told them i have issue with this phone, restarts on its own and gmail would not sync my password she asked me what software and frameware it was i said 2.1 she said to me its up to date
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
and she didnt ask how/why you were on 2.1? so what are they doing, sending you a brand new one then you send yours back in?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
did not ask me anything else just sending me a new one just call them and tell them i have problem with this phone after the new software update 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] smoked_toast:
Based off of what I'm reading elsewhere the 2.1 OS will need to be rooted at some point anyway, so I may just wait for that to happen. I may be wrong, but my impression is that 2.1 rooted doesn't bring a ton more functionality (stable) than the 2.1 leak. This whole thing will become a bit more urgent for me once that happens. Thanks again for the info, ampinc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
no problem
[Droid Eris Android Development] FrEsHaZzBuRu:
So after 2.1 update rolls out, there should be a way to root the leaked 2.1 upgraded phones (after someone roots 2.1), then we can go on with our flashing lives correct?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
Yes and no. If someone finds a new or working exploit for the OTA 2.1 then yes, this should work (assuming we can update from leaked 2.1 to the OTA 2.1).

When the 2.1 OTA comes out people will make a new ROM with the 2.1 OTA in it, but those of us with the leaked 2.1 can't just upgrade to that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
when verizon releases there is a good chance that evryone stuck can be unstuck and then if they wanna get root. they can ask verizon to do something to get them back to 1.5. they may replace the phone or even have a way to do itat that point. no one knows. my suggestion to all would be to wait for verizon to release their 2.1 update and see how it goes from there.

but again thats just my thoughts on this matter. anyone and everyone can do whatever they want :p

also the verizon update isnt a sure solution to the stuck problem. there is also a chance it wont help anyone get unstuck either. but its coming soon so i believe its worth the wait to find out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
well when i told them how google kept having sign in issues my tech rep thought it was a legit problem and is forwarding the ticket issue to htc dev department to review... lol.. so i should know in a couple of days if they will have a "fix" for the problem or if they are going to send me a new phone.

that is one option for those of you who have any "problems" with the phones. if that does not work, then there is always jcases method of rooting the phone, or a third option for those of you who have slippery hands or a tendancy to misplace their phones. which is to go to verizon and tell them that you lost your phone, then they will charge you about $90 for a new phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
hey it might work. i deal with sprint and let my wife deal with verizon. i have noticed verizon tends to be more of a pain when it comes to warranty issues. but sprint on the other hand will swap a phon with a quickness.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CLutChCoNneCt:
2.1 leak installed...

If the OTA doesn't get myself, or anyone else for that matter, what they want/expect from 2.1, i for one, have plenty of ways to lose or destroy my eris on the construction site im on at West Point lol...this leak is buggy, yes, but i can't ***** at all coming from a stinkin enV touch and a first batch bb storm prior to that...get used the the problems and wait for a solution, or be a glass half full person, enjoy the leak or jump ship and toss ur phone under a slap chop and start slappin then replace it with another one for the deductible price, one slap at a time lol...i personally drank the whole glass in on gulp when i flashed the leak, and so did all of u that did it too...this aint back the the future, no flux capacitors...just wait and see what happens...instead of trying to delve into and repair the past...ciao,

DOWNGRADE

Went to VZW store yesterday and after 1 hour walked out with a downgraded phone. Told the tech that the phone didnt work right after the ota update i received and he called HTC. HTC said it was leaked in error and they gave me a new phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] IAMTHETRAV:
so, i went into the vzw store about a hour ago to see if i could get them to send me a replacement phone. i told the lady that i had gotten a ota and that my phone had been screwing up ever since. she then preceded to call a tech at a different store. he told her to flash it with 1.6. didn't work (which i knew it wouldn't). instead of telling me they'd send me a replacement, the tech told me that i should go to the htc website and try and install their software and that it was their problem now because the software i had voided the warranty. i told the chick who was helping me this and she said to come back if i doesn't work and they would see what they could do.

is it worth my time to go back again and maybe get a replacement? i just don't feel like getting called out for messing up my own phone with the 2.1 leak.
[Droid Eris Android Development] denonlake:
I would reccommend going to a different store, The tech I talked to was sorta clueless and when he looked on the HTC website he thought I was talking about the HTC sync update. He then proceeded to call HTC who told him that the version wasnt released yet. Upon hearing that I told him that verizon must have accidently pushed it to me and I wanted a replacement. He asked the manager and my request was granted. As per my earlier post ... it took me about an hour but I finally got my way!! Good Luck RAV
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Just want to point out. I'm no longer looking at downgrading 2.1. I'm looking at rooting 2.1....bypassing 1.5 all together. Back to square 1 mostly, on a newer kernel (oh joy).
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
I think you have the right idea there. The downgrade is a lost cause.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drew630:
Agreed. Good Luck Zifnab, let me know if there is anything I can do...

I was in the IRC channel the other day but it was just a bunch or rom cooking :-( and sadly I am no rooted (yet). Is there a channel for the root attempt still?
[Droid Eris Android Development] smoked_toast:
Forgetting about downgrading..

The more I think about it, zifnab's idea makes the most sense. Any work on 1.5 that has already happened is great. But I have to assume that an official OTA 2.1 update is imminent. When that happens there will be a new wave of people looking for 2.1 root because that's whats already on the phone. IMHO, all the focus on downgrading seems like it may fade when 2.1 becomes official and what the masses are using. I know the change in focus from downgrading to rooting 2.1 sets the progress back to square one, but I've got to wonder which effort will reap the most rewards. For what its worth, I'm running the leak.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
any change we will be able to get root for us on 2.1 leak the SAME WAY we got root for those one 1.5?

jcase... do you feel like slaying any more dragons in the htc basement to get us root?
[General Questions and Answers] SunyiNyufi:
Hey people!

I'm pretty new to customizing a smartphone, so I need some help.

I have an LG KS20 phone, with original ROM (Windows Mobile 6 OS 5.2.1626), and I bought a Nokia BH-501 stereo headset some time ago. First it didn't work well of course, but thanks to some registry hack the hissing and such are gone now. My problem is, that I mostly kept the phone in my shirt pocket so far, but when I put it in my jeans pocket, the music stops playing sometimes.

Any idea why is it? Is it the headset, or the phone, or maybe WM 6?

Thanks for reading and possible answers!

Looks like fun. Whats interesting is the on screen game control. They seem to have excellent accuracy with it. Its also apparently open source.

Trackball controls the direction, and onscreen controls are for jumping/flying and attack. No issues at all... very accurate so far. ;)

You can also use the phones motion sensor to move the droid around, I find it a bit less fiddly than the trackball.

Hmm.. seems a bit half finished to me. Trackball control is really clunky but the motion sensor speeds things up.

Great game. Very addictive. Controls are twitchy but not terrible. I love that it's open source too. There should be some great mods to this eventually.
