2.1 is most likely unstable. It's ok but I personally prefer stability. Just grab cursorsense and you basically have yourself the hero, but be careful flashing radio and spl.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
That was my main concern about the cursorsense and that's why i was looking for the official HTC Sense UI update. I still don't know what their difference is and what more does cursorsense offer.

I am a computer engineer, so it SHOULDN'T be that big of a deal to flash some firmware on a cell phone, i just have a lot of reading to do, which is not all in one place in a form of a tutorial or something.

If anyone has some useful links to provide, you'd save my day. Thanks a mil once again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
give us the fastboot details on your phone and I'm sure someone (including myself) can help you in the process. Just follow instructions and you should be fine but we'll guide if necessary. Lastly, is that 32A the one with the headphone jack? (If it is, I can't help you too much lol, I can point you places but that's it)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Taknarosh:
Not to be rude but this link was on the CursorSense thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239

Just follow it step by step. It doesn't take a Computer Engineer to figure it out, by the way it's written and explained.

Also, the official update flashes your radio to the 6.35 radio, so I'll say it again, just go with cursor's ROM you won't regret it.

It's fast, it has no carrier branding, it's fast, it's stable and did I mention it's fast?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] devbro:
I advice you against using an official rom. specially if you want to make modifications/root/hack your phone. those official roms usually fix bugs that are needed for hacky things to be done, such as gaining root.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
My phone has not arrived yet so i cannot provide any more information as of now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
Okay so here is a biggie that i need help for.

I am looking into buying a used HTC Magic (32A) that is in mint condition. The seller told me, after i asked him if i can use an unofficial rom on his, that he has flashed an official rom on it and is unsure if i will be able to flash modified ROMs.

He shall provide me the SPL and Radio versions tomorrow, as well as the ROM version he is using.

What do you think i should do? In case the SPL is perfected (which i suppose is what devbro meant) is there any way to revert back to an engineering SPL and Radio (i am looking into using Cursor's ROM).

Thanks guys. And i shall be providing the Info as soon as i get it so you can help me decide.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
It's called a 'perfect' SPL for a reason. Just get the Radio and SPL and post it up, we'll be able to tell at that point if it is flashable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
So here are the information guys. Please let me know if the phone is flashable:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

ΗΒΟΟΤ-1.76.0009 (SΑP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-6.35.08.29

DEC 8 2009,17:38:48
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Nope, that indeed is the perfect spl. It has not been successfully flashed yet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
So what would you do? Get another phone with a non perfected SPL, or get that one in hope that someone will find a workaround and maybe a wait for an official 2.1 eclair android update for htc magic (although i doubt it tbh).

how bad is the official htc sense ui compared to cursorsense's?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Myself, I bought a 2nd Magic, so I have 2 rootable phones. :)

As for the comparison between official HTC releases and Cursor....I have no idea as I've only used cooked ROM's. Both of my phones came pre-rooted, so I never had the pleasure of a stock ROM. LoL

The official 2.1 should be here in the next few months (as late as June), if you can wait, else you will need to drop the $529US+++ on a Nexus 1. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
I wish i had the money for a nexus.. but i don't.

This guy is selling his HTC magic for quite cheap (200 dollars) that is seriously in mint condition (but unflashable) and i was very interested. What i really want is a phone that will be able to get the 2.1 android. HTC might not release it officially for the magic, that's what concerns me, and i was thinking if they don't i would be able to flash it myself via a custom rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
Well then definately wait until you find one with a flashable HBOOT.

With so many people buying N1's there will be Magic's up for sale. I paid $200CND for my 2nd magic, from a local guy who bought a N1. My first magic I traded my HTC Dream for, not sure what the girl was thinking, but she didn't want the Magic and I was more then happy to trade. LoL
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] petsasj:
Well i am also thinking of getting the hero and get it over with. the hero will deffo get the 2.1 eclair.. What do you think?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tbrummell:
I've never even seen a Hero, let alone used one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] keet:
When I first used Google Maps on my Nexus One, I liked it, but my major complaint was that it cached so little of the map data. I use my Nexus One only with wifi, having no data plan. Google Maps on my Dell Axim X51v seems to cache an unlimited amount of data -- I can download satellite imagery and road maps from all over the world, at least 100 megabytes, and it just keeps downloading it to my S.D.H.C. card. However, Google Maps on the Nexus One, a newer device, doesn't.

I installed Google Earth on my Nexus One, and nicely, it caches apparently unlimited data; I've downloaded well over 100M.B. to my MicroS.D. card. However, it neither shows road maps nor finds directions. I found this rather troublesome -- why don't they just integrate the two? In Windows and Linux, I can find directions and cache gigabytes of map data in Google Earth, and I think that Google Earth should be the same in Android.

Does anyone know of a good program that seamlessly downloads and caches unlimited amounts of satellite imagery and road maps, and finds and shows directions, or perhaps of a patch that makes Google Maps or Google Earth do these things?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alienmonkey:
Anyone having issues with the app Lookout? I keep getting "lookout failed to initialize." It appears to not be able to log in. I tried several times and even attempted to make a new account, but the app does not appear to be running. I can login fine from the web.

It was working fine until I updated the app and upgraded to CyanogenMod v5.0.5.0 & v5.0.5.1, however I am unable to do a nand restore to an older version, as when I did it seems to be corrupted. I'm trying to pinpoint where/what the issue could be and if I'm not the only one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lian1238:
Same here.

CyanogenMod 5.0.5.3 Nexus One

App2SD enabled with ext4
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntiFanBoy:
You'll have to deactivate App2SD prior Lookout Installation.

Lookout need to run on the internal memory for some reason.

Reinstall without this option and it should work fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lookoutkevin:
Thanks everyone for uncovering this issue. We'll be sure to add that to our FAQ.

How important is being able to install to SD Cards to you?
[Droid Eris General] iloveandroid:
There is something for windows that is way easier ABD, all I know this is only for Windows. Mac users you'll have to download Crossover (http://crossover-mac.en.softonic.com/mac) first then download Droid Explorer

Here's are the features of Droid Explorer

1. Multiple Device Support, Copy and auto-apply update.zip, Copy local files to device

2. Auto detection of connected/disconnected device

3. APK file icon and extended information, Device command shell window

4. Reboot device, Reboot device in to recovery mode, Flash Recovery Image

5. Open files for viewing / execution locally with the default file type executable, Drag & Drop file copy from Explorer

6. Package Manager (Install & Uninstall), No need to mount SD card to access files from computer

7. Access files in other directories besides SD card

8. Display open with dialog to specify what to open a file with

9. Right click APK and Install /Uninstall, Delete files from device

10. Take a Screen Shot, Plugins can register as a component to open files, Open from within Computer

[Droid Eris General] Fenny:
Too many noobs in my mind means too many people who don't know what they are doing, or more importantly WHY they are doing it.

While I am relatively new to the android scene, I am certainly not new to *nix, and so I think it is important to understand what you are doing when you customize what is essentially a linux computer with a Java-Based applications platform, and GUI.

It is important to READ before you just go foraging ahead, and this tool makes it much easier for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to do something wrong.
[Droid Eris General] Eimatsu:
@windows user:

it is using microsoft net framework, so you must install one (download free from microsoft.com) to run application.

@author:

I think this is good idea for whom doesnt how to use adb, or hasnt got enough time to understand adb tool.

Please make it better.

Thanks
[Droid Eris General] zaiger:
Has anyone had an error message:

"Droid Explorer has stopped working

Windows is checking for a solution to this problem..."

I have Windows 7 Home premium x64 with microsoft .NET 4.0 framework. I tried the x64 and x86 versions, get the same error message with both.

Edit: I installed the beta 0.8.7.2 and it seems to be working fine so far.

Edit Edit: I am having a hell of a time getting it to recognize my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 x64 box, Motorola Droid, I have busybox installed, my drivers are all up to date, .NET 4.0 framework, USB Debugging ticked. Is there anything else I have overlooked?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darchstar:
That should give some indication as to why they are really buggy. If you were to perhaps use your .27 kernel source you may see better results, as it has a supported openGL, though 3d games will work like crap and camera wouldn't probably work on your phone with it and 2.1.

Don't take this for fact, i'm only speculating. Go try it out for yourself and tell me if it fixes it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GrdLock:
We're using the .29 kernel now. Does it not have OpenGL support? I really don't think that's the issue though, as the lwp's run perfectly fine as long as the phone stays plugged into usb.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] GrdLock:
.27 kernel won't run with 2.1, just tried it.

I am hoping/asking for someone who is familiar with the ppc code to convert this VBA code. I use it to retrieve the daily calvin and hobbes comic on my desktop, but it would be GREAT if something like this could save an image file on my Touch Pro2!

I've never used mortscript, but I don't think it can do this type of thing.

What I'd like to have happen is a little app on my touch pro2 that I could run that would retrieve the daily calvin comic, and save it in a folder, My Documents/My Pictures/Calvin/

...which in turn I could set as the default folder on the Photo & Video Manila Tab. Presto, I now have a Manila tab that gives me my daily dose of Calvin!

...It could save the image as the same filename time it's run, so as to delete yesterdays image, or it could have options, ...Or something else? I'd be happy for anything that would help this little project!

how do you install that?

a little professional spray paint and prep and you can do this for a lot less than sending it in.

Would love to have an all matte black nexus, but how is someone supposed to last without their phone for 3 weeks. By the way did anyone notice that rush delivery which still takes a week is an additional $500. That is just insane.
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
I really want to get this done but the 3 weeks would be tough, not to mention the $200. I do still have my sweet sweet ADP1 (G1) to use for those three weeks but going back to the G1 after using the N1 is pretty tough.
[Nexus One Accessories] Mactagonist:
That is one of the biggest issues with Colorware IMHO, I could almost get myself to pay their crazy prices as they really do amazing, high quality work but the turnaround time is just out of control.

At this point it seems that they are just catering to the part of the market that has the money to either buy right from them or just buy a second device to send in.

Oops, let me rephrase that:)

Has any one with a Nexus One actually been brave enough to order this yet?

I'd love to hear/read some opinions on this.

Since many of us spent the full $500+ on our phones, shipping it off and waiting a few weeks to very it backs, seems a little scary, that's all.
[Nexus One Accessories] ahfunaki:
I would say there isn't anything to be afraid of. This is a very reputable company that has been around for quite some time. I think anyone would be safe sending their phone to them...
[Nexus One Accessories] irishrally:
I think I'm going to send my phone in soon. I can handle playing with my G1 for 3 weeks. I just can't decide what color to get. Maybe just all matte black or all matte white. I'm just worried the all white will look to Apple-y.
[Nexus One Accessories] djsaad1:
I like the all matte black look, but all matte black and a color on the camera looks kind of cool too.

Update us on how long it really takes to get your phone back, when I sent in an ipod a few years ago I am pretty sure it only took about a week and a half from the time they got it to the time they shipped it back.

Hello Everyone!

I have just spent the better part of a week reading just about every thread on this and one other forum in hopes of finding some information on this topic.

Nomatter what I try, If I have a Bluetooth headset synced, and I press the Voice Dialer or Voice Search, or if I am in Car Mode, I am unable to speak into the Bluetooth Headset and get a response from my Nexus One. If I am close enough to the device, the mic on the phone will pick it up, but that is as far as it goes.

This feature doesn't seem to exist in Android, or on any of the Mod's I have seen/tried. Have I missed some greater obvious thing, or is this seemingly obvious feature missing?
[Nexus One General] e-dub:
it's the second most requested feature on google's forum. I would get you a link, but i'm on my mobile right now. i'd say it will be coming soon. i miss voice command, too...
