What upsets Android about this? The removal of the apps or of the directory itself? If it's the directory, what happens if the removal & link creation are done in one step which I think ln -fs allows?

Oh, hang on - is there a problem simply because your terminal app is in use & is one of the apps being moved? In that case you could install it in /system in the first place to avoid this, or you could use two distinct terminal apps & let each move the other.

Sorry - ignore me if I'm being annoying. Just curious about Android & Linux in general :)

Hi, can anybody help me,

1. I still confuse in what size is recommended fot FAT32 and EXT3 ? For example I have 4Gb sdcard.

2. Which partition will be store apps, FAT32 or EXT3 ???

3. Should I create swap partition ??

Thanks and sorry if my question is so dumb :)
[Galaxy Spica Themes and Apps] cauli:
Try this sdcard partitioning guide. Apps will be stored on the ext partition (be it ext2, ext3 etc). Whether you want swap depends on the ROM you use, but there's no harm creating one just in case.

The problem is...

i downloaded apps.. (games) it installs but when i try to open the.it tell's me to download parts of if...

i think..because i took my sd card out..and the phone were still runing...

Wondering if you lot could help me.

I’m working on a mobile app, on one of the screens there is a box for the customer to “sign”, but if the customers signature have a horizontal stroke in it, it causes the app to move to the next screen.

This only appears to be happening on WM6.5, what is this feature, I first thought it was TouchFlo but I have disabled all that, so is it something within Windows and is there a reg hack or way to disable it within settings.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nick
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
I don't know a way of disabling it, but I assume you're using a tabcontrol as that functionality was added to them in WM6.5. Since I don't know if you can simply disable this (I doubt it as well), I'd recommend using panels rather than a tabcontrol.

Sorry if that's not a relevant post, but that's the only reason I can think off that a horizontal swipe would cause what you described.

hi I am new to the forum and just left the iPhone game.

I was a little surprised to find no Skype app available. I know there is fring but its no where near as good. is there any way to load Skype not from the app store? will this work? any other suggestions much appreciated.

[Legend General] IonSpin:
Hi,

there are some problems with some of the market applications not showing up (BarCode Scanner, Google Googles...), and i guess Skype is in this group. It seems that this problem is present on all 2.1 systems. There was a rumor on google groups regarding this issue, that HTC will be releasing an update for legend (although that should resolve problems with Layar).

You can always search for Skype APK file and try if it works.

Hello everyone here at XDA.

Just recieved my HTC Desire but my data plan only allows 1gb transfer every month.

I tried out a few apps but havent found a single one actually working on HTC Desire.

I need a widget or something that stays in the notification area showing how much data i used over gprs/3g and not Wifi.

On most apps in market people have commented the programs doesnt work on Desire.

Anyone found one working.

If I have a *.apk that I download, is there anyway to backup/extract it?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostfaced:
The apk is really just a ZIP file. Try renaming the file to whatever.apk.zip and open using your favorite ZIP utility. You should be able to view all the contents. Resources (such as images) can be extracted. The java code is compiled into a .dex file so you can't view the raw code, but there are utilities (like this one) to decompile it: http://dedexer.sourceforge.net/

how to extract .apk.p files

I have a zip file with .apk.p files in it which are exracted with package_extract_file in the updater script. Is there a way to manually extract these, since renaming to .zip doesn't help if I open them with any unzipper program?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I believe the files you are referring to - the files ending in ".p" - are "patch" files. They only appear in the OTA download .zip file, and they are worthless to you. They are not complete files, but just enough data to patch the corresponding 1.5 app .apk so that it turns into the 2.1 version.

If you want the complete .apk files which they correspond to, just download the Leak-V3 .zip file, extract the "system.img" file, and then unpack that file using the "unyaffs" utility (search for it, you'll find it at code.Google.com).

[Desire General] Zubair226:
Hi,

Iv been searching the forum and cannot find info on the above or its scattered all over. Just thought Id make a new Thread so those of whom have played with their Desire from Orange and T-mobile can feedback on the carriers roms.

I am an existing Tmobile customer and was thinking of going to Orange this time round however im not sure who to take.

This may also be helpful to those who are a bit wary or dont want to flash the original stock Rom..

So People plz update with your findings on the Network Roms placed on your phones.

thanks
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Orange is apparently badly branded, the handset also carries the orange logo.

T-mobile is virtually unbranded apart from a T-Mobile startup animation and the internet icon changed. No branding on the handset itself.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
I have a desire from Virgin mobile, it has a Virgin logo on startup, and came with a desktop shortcut to the virgin mobile site which I deleted. No other branding though.
[Desire General] stewalker:
no branding on orange if you get the nadset from carphone warehouse
[Desire General] xfile087:
Hmmm. I bought an unlocked and supposedly unbranded Desire from clove.co.uk and that has the original Desire startup logo HOWEVER does have a Virgin Media desktop shortcut. :/
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
orange branding can be removed by flashing the HTC generic ROM, and that also allows you to update when HTC release updates and no need to wait for orange to do that.
[Desire General] xfile087:
Is there an actual way to tell if it's generic apart from visually? Firmware version etc?
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
Yes. If it is firmware version 1.15.405.3 or 1.15.405.4 it is generic.
[Desire General] myk202020:
Yep, unbranded from CPW.

Bloke brought mine out the storeroom before he knew what carrier I was on.
[Desire General] xfile087:
Thanks! Mine is 1.15.405.4 so that would mean Generic? Yet it has a Virgin Media shortcut/homepage. No matter I guess, it works fine.
[Desire General] coochan8:
Bought mine from CPW on Vodafone. No branding and unlocked. Firmware version 1.15.405.4.

[Desire General] EddyOS:
that is the latest FW for Vodafone devices - 1.15.xxx.4 is the latest (1.15.405.4 is the generic unbranded, sim-free Desire)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's not on there but someone put it in ROM development (1.15.405.3) and you should be able to get the OTA afterwards
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
I think GTalk has been renamed to just Talk.
[Desire General] Jazd71:
It just doesn't exist on the orange Desire and the other rubbish they put on is infuriating,

I was searching many hours for a solution but could not find anything...

Maybe somebodies knowledge of the Registry is that good to show me a way how to get back the native Windows interface for the contact management (the one that is used when Sense is deactivated) without turning HTC sense 2.5 off?

Thanks in advance!

p.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mitsi:
Try SSMaHo 0.0.4.0. With this, you will be able to hook the contacts function in Sense to WM instead of Sense. Does that make sense?? ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] photona:
Sorry, shame on me, as a greenhorn in this forum I violated its well-founded hygiene and posted in the wrong place. Maybe an admin could delete this thread or move it to the right discussion. But at least let me say thanks to mitsi, your advice gave me the impulse to search further (I tried SSMaHo 0.0.4.0., but I don´t want to use such a "big" program to change just one simple thing that even can be done by typing some simple ascii code in the registry).

Finally ... (maybe someone else is interested in this) I found out that the desired contacts-interface can be accessed by "\Windows\poutlook.exe" with the argument "contacts". So, to acces the native windows mobile interface by touching the left softkey at the Homescreen, I just had to change the according entries in the registry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\HomeLSKPath -> poutlook.exe

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\HomeLSKArguments -> contacts

Thats it for now

I have a problem and have't been able to find any information on it. I have a TMoUS HD2. I had an original Jawbone lying around so I paired it and it works perfectly. I decided to pick up a Jawbone 2. I paired it, but it developed a problem. While outgoing calls are no problem, I cannot answer calls with it, nor can I initiate voice dialing with it. Incoming calls are routed through the handset. I deleted the pairing, and re-paired it to no effect. I also tried the original Jawbone again and it again worked fine. What I don't understand is why it initially worked properly, then developed this problem (with no changes to the phone).

Any ideas?

[HD2 General] Edwin320:
well, it was probably me. I was answering with the handset rather than the earpiece. it didn't matter with the old one, but it does with this one. chalk it up to unfamiliarity with the newer unit. either that or the phone woke up in a better mood today.

look around the development thread, and use google. from those, i was able to unlock, root, and install enom's ROM w/o too much trouble. using the 'spare parts' app in enom's ROM, you can uninstall things you couldn't before, like amazon.mp3, for which i have no use.

i don't know about proxy wifi settings, never had to mess with it. that seems like a browser condition, not a ROM condition tho. could fix thru router tho, if you're at home. MAC address proxy assignment would be your best bet, i would think.

For the most part, morphs are more for smaller visual edits, but some people like to make whole themes just using morphs.

There aren't very many comprehensive themes out for the Nexus yet, but over time that will change as more people get the phone.

Those are the mods/themes I saw/knew off the top of my head that were made for MCR. I don't think there are many others.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FormelLMS:
Thank you for linking my themes! Nice! :)

Metamorph can change ALL icons, pictures, png from every apk/jar which is not installed by market! You can do many many things with it.

For me it is so, that I wanted to change the look from MY nexus. So I did my themes for me and share them to the community. I like it when others like it.

Metamorph has the biggest advantage, that you can change many things to many different roms.

With normal themes you can't do this.

And: For us themers it is easier to make new things and the patching on your phones is faster than re-installing apps.

Problems with MCR Roms:

I've asked Paul at MoDaCo for a few weeks, why we can't theme his ROM. It wasn't possible to do this, because some files wasn't deodexed.

Now, since the last three updates, the MCR ROMs are themeable. So we can start making themes for MCR ROMs since then.

Cyanogen and enomthers ROM was from start up fully themeable because it is build from AOSP. AND the first rooted nexus rom was the cyanogen ROM, so that the most of the community uses this ROM.

Most of us themers do the work for the ROM what we self used on our phones.

So: Cyanogen ROM has the most themes.

So, hoping I could enlighten it a bit. :)
