I just really want a good streamer to use in Canada since I have 6GB and I'm not using it all up. Bluetooth streaming to my car stereo would be a nice replacement to my actual radio.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Piercy0812:
Hi all, i quite like the weather app which comes with the hero, however, i would rather like to have a 5 days widget in a small form. For instance the current one i use is below. I would like to be able to have 5 along the bottom and not the big one at the top. So its one single bar with a 5 day forecast in, anyone know if there is a way i can get that?

Thanks,

Piercy

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seonetic:
Hello everyone,

I'm searching for a task scheduler, something like cron in linux. The background is I want my phone to execute a "Wake on Lan" Program every morning and my computer will execute some tasks before I'm awake. I already found something like a task scheduler script in this forum but this didn't help.

Perhaps I'm simply to stupid to work with it, I'm not really familiar with the architecture of android but I know how to do this in linux.

So does anyone have an idea how to realize this on android?

ASE, not yet but soon supposedly

Android Scripting environment is supposed to be adding cron type scheduling for scripts relatively soon. As long as you're down with scripting that could work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theloginwithnoname:
Realise this is an old thread but wondering if you made any progress with this, seonetic? Want to schedule a script to run every X seconds and so far all I've seen are apps that wrap a scheduler round the phone's functions - e.g. wifi on/off, silence on/off

Failing this, I may have to grab and build cron...

Doesn't busybox implement cron?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinoAMelone:
I've been thinking I'd like cron, too. However, I was worried about battery impact. Isn't the typical cron implementation dependent on a running CPU?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theloginwithnoname:
I checked on my N1 and it doesn't have either of the cron applets. I'll grab the source and have a look at including it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gene Poole:
You should be able to just create symlinks of them to busybox. Here's what's on mine:

# which crond
/system/xbin/crond
# ls -l /system/xbin/crond
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-08-11 09:07 crond -> busybox
# which crontab
/system/xbin/crontab
# ls -l /system/xbin/crontab
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2010-08-11 09:07 crontab -> busybox
# crond --help
BusyBox v1.15.2 (2009-10-08 09:47:18 BST) multi-call binary

Usage: crond -fbS -l N -d N -L LOGFILE -c DIR

-f Foreground
-b Background (default)
-S Log to syslog (default)
-l Set log level. 0 is the most verbose, default 8
-d Set log level, log to stderr
-L Log to file
-c Working dir

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theloginwithnoname:
if I do "busybox --help" it doesn't include either of them. "which crontab" shows nothing either.

Tried installing Stericson's from market but it "hangs" after completing the download.

So got the sourcecode down for latest version and tried compiling with CROSS_COMPILE to same toolchain as with CM6 ROM - fail. So downloading another toolchain now.

Will edit this post if it successfully compiles.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemidgley:
+1 on Tasker

Thanks for this tip - just want to say Tasker is amazing: you can do almost anything with it.

I've been struggling to find a cron-like tool for a simple airplane mode on/off task for my Eris -- one that actually works. None (timeriffic, auto airplane mode and bunch of others) seem to work when the phone is asleep. Tasker looks like it does work when asleep.

My test case, in the event others are curious, is to set the timer to turn airplane mode on and then call my phone. What I notice with most "cron" style apps is that the phone will ring and THEN the airplane mode will come on (cutting off the call). This indicates that the timer doesn't fire until the phone wakes up. So you *think* your phone is in airplane mode at the time you set it, but it really only goes on when you turn on the phone to check it! Anyway, Tasker passed this test for me, so thanks for the tip.

sadly tasker refuses to install into CyanogenMod 7 (cm4dx) :(

for the command addicts:

there is

/data/[forget]/firstboot.sh

that is likely wiped by cm7, and then there is autostart root... but those aren't crontabby enough

[HTC Excalibur] us-ali:
Hi at all,

first of all im from Germany.

My English skills are not so good. Please write slowly :)

I have an XDA Cosmo Smartphone with the Win Mobile 6.1 OS.

I dont know if you know xda on america. It is the same phone like HTC Excalibur and T-Mobile Dash.

THis is my question.

1. Is it possible to flash this phone as an noob ?

2. Is there any German Windows Mobile 6.5 OS to download?

Hope you´ll help me.

Thank you

Best regards from Germany :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Welcome :)

Think we all know O2 XDA Cosmo ;)

You can flash as is an Excalibur @ heart

There are no German 6.5's available the best you can do is have English with German keymap.
[HTC Excalibur] us-ali:
Really :(

Okay...... If theres nothing that i can do then i dont flash it :(

If everyone of the Board find a German Rom, then please write me a Message...

Thx to all
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] theadam:
I've completed the tutorial for unlock & debrand from here:

Thread 511763 (for some reason I'm not allowed to put a link here, sorry)

And I've flashed WM6.1 from SD card.

However, when I go to turn the phone on or off, I still get the "Vodafone" Logo splash screen. Also, the VBE Email link is still there, and the Business theme.

The unlock must have gone ok, because I'm using an O2 sim...

Any ideas how to rid myself of the vodafone 'ware? I tried a hard reset after flashing, but it's not done any good.

Thanks!
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Hmm, have you tried flashing a different, non-Vodafone Palm ROM instead, like say an AT&T ROM? If it still has the Vodafone logo during Phone On/Off then that's the weirdest case of Carrier embedded Software that I've heard of o_o

By the way, if you have a Vodafone branded Treo like I have, it helps to flash a different Palm ROM onto it. For some reason, Vodafone Treo's have a lot more than 1 folder in their Ext ROM.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] theadam:
I thought the 6.1 ROM I used was unbranded... Or do you mean the radio?
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
The thing about Treo750 ROMs, they work like this:

Official Palm Treo 750 ROMs contain BOOTLOADER, SPLASH, GSM, EXT, and OS areas. Aside from the first two, "GSM" contains the radio only, "EXT" contains carrier data and program installs (for example the VBE email setup), and OS contains the actual WM6.x.

Custom Treo OS ROMs contain no EXT ROM whatsoever (except for Official Palm ROMs), and depending on the type of WM6.1 you flashed, it will pull information from EXT ROM. That means unless you delete data in the EXT ROM, the OS will continue to pull the CAPpackage and CAP data from there and stick it into the WINDOWS folder.

The thing I mentioned about Vodafone 750v Treo's, is that multiple folder Partition's in EXT (at least in my 750v). The way I cleared that guaranteed was to flash a different carrier's ROM that contained only 1 Partition folder in EXT rom, delete that, then flash WM6.1 over it. Worked every time for me.
[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] theadam:
That's done it, thanks!

I used 7zip to extract the nbh from the official palm WM6 updater and flashed it via SD. When it had finished all the branding was gone! :)

[Nexus One General] maedox:
When you compile crap it is still crap. Even if you run it on a Snapdragon. :D

CorePlayer was very good on WinMo, so let's hope they bring it to Android soon.
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
Coreplayer FTW!

My understanding of the "no Divx" issue, has more to do with Android OS not supporting the codec.

The reason why Coreplayer isnt out yet is exactly this reason. Once theres a codec supporting HW accelleration, then Coreplayer will be released.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yup, and if you go to coreplayers website, they have a blog/forum discussing this... in it, they point out that they have been working very closely with Google on improving the NDK and SDK so that it has native support. Following 2.0/1 being released, they announced it had the graphics and framework, and that they were hoping the next version would/will have the codecs... it also seems it is possible the NDK just needs to be updated, not even the entire OS itself, although that might be a bit dirty for such a huge increase in codec support.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Screw codecs, i want VLC player on my phone.
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
VLC isnt even on Winmo... :eek:
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
I would expect a very long wait if I were you. How long has coreplayer2 been in development now?
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
android 1.5 wasnt capable of it due to a crappy SDK.

2.1 with the new developers tools should get the job done, but who knows
[Nexus One General] ErGo_404:
VLC needs codecs too. Its developers just decided to include the codecs with the app instead of relying on the OS's codecs.

That is exactly what the CoreCodecs team is doing btw.
[Nexus One General] AMoosa:
Very easy workaround

This a very quick and easy workaround to divx and xvid.

Download avidemux from here http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/download.html

Then re-code the file, but here's the secret - keep the video as it is "Copy". Change the audio to aac, and re-save it in an mpeg4 containter (m4v). The whole process take about 3 minutes for a full-length 800MB movie. The resulting file can be played smooth as silk in the stock player.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Tried this just now (previously tried with other tools in Jan). Was hoping....but it didnt work :(

src: XviD(BVOP/Packed Bitstream)/mp3, AVI

dest: (copy)/AAC(FAAC), MP4

The new file plays fine on my PC but only the audio plays on the n1(default movie player and act1 player)
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
That's too bad.

But then again, even if it does work, the whole point is that it would be nice to play our videos WITHOUT having to re-encode like Spica-owners can do.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/samsung-galaxy-spica-grows-up-to-android-2-1/

The Spica is now 2.1.

What in the HELL is the hold up?? DivX should have been ported to ANY other Android device ages ago :D
[Nexus One General] lbcoder:
In addition to changing the container, you also have to change the FOURCC. That is just a 4-character code identifying the video encoding. Your phone won't recognize any stupid crap like DIVX or XVID -- it will only recognize the CORRECT fourcc, which is H263
[Nexus One General] SilentMobius:
The hold up is that codecs are part of the framework, and almost all Android video players just use the frameworks video playback facilities. To add DIVX playback you'd need a rooted device.

Additionally, I'll bet the Spica's divx playback is limited to a max resolution/bitrate like Android's h264 support.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I think a lot of people who would want this have root already or (would be willing to) anyway. :) Plus, there are already plenty of apps on the Market that are root-only.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa912217.aspx

for starters
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Not to mention that many settings are different/have different effects on each different device. A significant part of the job would have to be done for every new device...
