There is a Google map app which has just been updated to include voice recognition but if you are after turn by turn navigation then Waze is another free app. Waze maps are user created and new roads and updates appear every day, not obviously as polished as Copilot or TomTom but then you cant complain when its free.

In the Blue Magic ROM thread, it says to clear cache on every boot, how would I go about doing that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
in Amon-Ra's recovery there as an option to wipe your dalvix cache. Hope it helps :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Actually, it does this every boot by itself.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
But if you want to clear it yourself, you can get a cache clearing app off the market like Cachecleaner (free) and just use that. And you can also do what Protomanez said
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
regular cache is different than dalvik-cache.

regular cache is stored in /data/data/"app.name.here"

while dalvik-cache is stored in /data/

If you clear the dalvik-cache it will take a while for your phone to boot up because it has to reload the dalvik-cache back to your data directory all over again.

I just came from the i-phone (long story) and i'm looking for a app that i had after i jailbroke my I-phone. Its called v-wallpapers it lets u use video ringtones and video wallpapers this is the best app ever invented. I have just jailbroke my hero or what u call rooting but i can't find a app like this does this exist on android?

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
The hero hardware doesnt compare to the iphones. The hero just got livewallpapers not to long ago do to just recently get android 2.1. Nothing compared to Vwallpapers, but as close as you will get. Its just a moving background.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] obelisk79:
Something with hardware like the EVO, Nexus One etc will be needed to support a feature like that.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] atoz350:
If HTC would enable a separate GPU support this would be possible.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
It would be a big battery drain on current android phones. If it ran at all times in the background. Or even for just short times, it would still.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] hood420:
I would think this would be doable on the Hero, or any Android device. It's not much more than using a GIF image as a background.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jus10o:
Then it wouldnt be Vwallpapers. I was googling the app, it can play mp4 and of course iphone video as your wallpaper. Here is a site that has some

http://www.thememyphone.com/thumbnails-155.html

Even people talking about the phone in popular blogs say it would be a big battery drain. Now on our htc heros thats a big issue.

We just got livewallpapers. Much less a video running in the background. While simultaneously moving and operating the desktop of htc sense.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] auau465121:
yeah i kinow i have some videos on youtube showing with i was doing with v-wallpapers but i can't post them in here it keep tellimng me for spam reasons. I think if the hero can support livewallpapers i should be able to do it and yes v-wallpapers was a big battery drain but i had a car charger so i really didnt mind.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dochoppy:
It should be doable. it is just showing a looping video. With out sound, if that is playing sound as well that would be really annoying. :P
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] auau465121:
I

no with the i-phone all u had to do is turn the media volume down and u hear nothing. i put music videos as wallpapers i had 50 cent in the club as my wallpaper and lil wayne a mille as my default ringtone and u could assign a different video tone to every contact u had.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ceger:
How did it affect your battery life? I have to imagine your time between charges got drastically reduced.

I stopped using live wallpapers since it ate battery.

Ceger
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] auau465121:
it was alright it wasn't bad as u wouid think i would say about the same battery life as when u use live wallpapers and keep gps on on the hero.But as i said as long as i had a car charger it didn't really affect me. I wish i could post my youtube videos to show just how nice this app was.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] GODZSON:
You can lower media's volume with the Android as well, it would be nice to have this on our phones bg.. and seeing how fast creativity flows in XDA it would be soon till someone posts it.. You can edit your thread as Dev for Live Anime Wallpapers and see if devs come and work together and make it happen..

Be Safe,

Hi everyone,

Is there anyway you can force the headphone profile when plugging in something into the 3.5mm socket?

When listening to music on my standard headphones, all is well but when I plug the Desire into my car radio's aux in, the phone initially goes into headphone only mode but then decides to switch to headset.

When it switches to headset, it randomly calls, skips music and stops the music. Rather annoying when your driving.

Any idea's?

Cheers

Gavin
[Desire General] macrik:
3,5 mm stereo (TRS) type jacks do cause issues

Hi, I had exactly the same problem (see other post on this forum: 6269599 and 667240)

I guess you'll need a TRS (car stereo 3,5mm 3 contacts) to TRRS (HTC, 3,5 mm 4 contacts) adapter.

There's no issue with the standard headset delivered with the Desire

[HD2 General] d33f:
As a new owner of the HTC HD2 i am very satified with this device, it's furfilling my tweaker needs :D.

had some SOD problems with the 1.48 stock rom, so i updated to 1.72 (vodafone dutch) rom and didn't had the SOD problems anymore.

But what i encountered was that the device many times wouldn't boot anymore (it freezes at the orange windows mobile screen), had to soft reset it, sometimes even 6,7 times in a row before it was able to boot through.

You can understand that this is very frustrating.

Have gone through every program and uninstalled everything till i found the cause, and that was Lookout mobile security?

After i uninstalled Lookout, i didn't have the booting problem anymore.

Are there more people out there with the same problem? because i do need some antivirus protection on my mobile but not in change of instability
[HD2 General] LookoutSupport:
Lookout

@d33f - we have successfully tested the app thoroughly on many WinMo phones. What is your CE OS version and build number?

If you'd like we can continue the conversation as a Lookout support ticket - please email support /at/ mylookout /dot/ com and we’ll work to figure this out.

[Android] 76dodo:
Hello!

I see all these advices on making a ROM. But these advices and the issues they deal with are IMHO not the real issue. If you have a Nexus One phone and want to modify the Android OS there's nothing stopping you. It's "easy". It's all "there".

But what if you have a new Android phone which has proprietary driver code and made by a company that has NO interest in sharing it's code or make it easy for you to root your phone? Making ROMs for these devices is the interesting thing to talk about. Otherwise you can change the name on this forum part to: "Make ROM = *.android.com"

So these two issues are the most important ones IMHO:

1) Devices DO get rooted. So some people must know how to get there. I assume that there is no "one way" of doing this but it would be nice to discuss this and make some sort of a list on what to THINK about.

Many devices will never get rooted because the brand is despised here. That is why it would be good to have some general knowledge so others that ARE interested in these despised brands can take action.

2) You have a rooted device. You load a standard Android OS ROM. All proprietary drivers are lost and thus many features and maybe whole hardware units are unavailable to you. How do you locate and use unsupported hardware in your ROM?

I understand why many "elite" devs have a Nexus One since there are no propietary driver code in that one and rooting was easy. So the doorway to the Nexus One Kitchen is wide open. But what about the rest of the new Android phones that are out and will come. Why don't you discuss and explain the general thinking in rooting a device and finding/using hardware/features that are lost because of proprietary driver code.

Thanks for your time

[Nexus One General] anthro:
I subscribed to an unlimited for one day 3G service. I've been Googling for instructions and the only thing I found is this, which tells that I should use the APN "http.globe.com.ph". I still couldn't connect after setting the APN (I made an APN setting with a name and an APN. All other fields are blank).

I tried it on a Nokia E63. It worked. When I tried browsing, without tweaking any setting yet, it just asked me for an APN and all APN's are predefined. I selected one (Globe Connect) and it worked. I was able to browse on the E63.

Any idea what I should do?
[Desire General] daming:
I read a news from the following link

http://marmarday.com/?p=7239

It says N1 will be updated to Android 2.2 on the Horizon, and what about the Desire?
[Desire General] micks_address:
i think it will but there will be a slight delay as HTC need to update Sense to work with 2.2 whereas the N1 has no overlays so can be updated as soon as the update is released
[Desire General] salahag:
I wouldn't count on that.

HTC Hero used to be the top of the line before the Legend and the Desire came out. I think the Hero was launched in September, but until now the latest """Rumors""" say it will be updated to 2.1 in June.

Not to mention, android 1.5 on the Hero has limitations, which naturally should become a reason for updating, but yet, that wasn't good enough.

So worrying about it is just a waste of callories :)

But when the Desire gets rooted, we'll have plently of cooked 2.2, 2.5... etc Roms
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
If 2.2 is when their "Defragmentation Solving" thing comes into effect then probably yes.

Because in theory, HTC wouldn't have to do anything, sense and all the apps would happily run on top of 2.2 as separate apps.
[Desire General] abc27:
They had better... Flash 10.1, DivX and 720p recording depend on it.
[Desire General] salahag:
Still, it will take HTC alot of work to migrate to 2.2 in the first place. After which defragmentation concept can be applied.

Anyway, the complexity of it will be clear when that feature is out.
[Desire General] salahag:
Did you read this somewhere?
[Desire General] abc27:
Flash 10.1 is definitley in FroYo. DivX and 720P recording was something HTC promised to be released in an update after the desire was launched so to me it makes sense that FroYo would be the update.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Look at it this way...HTC supposedly take such a long time because they build Sense to integrate tightly with the underlying OS. It's hooked in. The direction Google is taking is going to mean Sense is a separate self standing app/service...so HTC now have to re-write it probably from the ground up. That's not a trivial task if that's what this means.
[Desire General] salahag:
You're right, all these are promised to be coming to the Desire, and Flash 10.1 is rumored to be coming to Nexus 1 with Froyo.

But that doesn't mean all these features require the update to Froyo, at least I hope so, or the Desire will have to wait for a long time.
[Desire General] daming:
I agree with you, waiting for 'rooted'.
[Desire General] abc27:
I can't wait to root mine. Good thing is that it won't affect the warranty unlike the Nexus One.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
I REALLY hope that the seperated update stuff will be here sooner than later. I am actually quite surprised since I got the Hero that it's not in Android to start with.

And it's the only way Google can avoid fragmentation, which imho is one of the biggest threat to the platform so far.

Warranty issue also depends on where you live. They can put in as much warranty void thingies in as they want. But when my phone has a hardware issue and they don't want to fix because I changed something in the software they will be in trouble. And then they can try and prove my software change damaged the hardware.
[Desire General] mtbmtbmtb:
I thought it was the other way around?
[Desire General] deovferreira:
Also, don't forget that HTC has access to early builds and source of future versions because they are building terminals based on it. Porting Sense is probably being done right now, they don't have to wait like we do.
[Desire General] abc27:
It's not check the thread I made "Rooting and warranty statement"
[Desire General] Noiz:
My missus works for Vodafone and had a visit from HTC last week promoting the Legend and Desire. They told her that 2.2 would be coming to both but she didn't think to ask when.

So, yes. :)

Hey guys, I am switching over from the htc blackstone and have experienced with using roms cooked by chefs. However, I am a beginner when it comes to android and have a few questions regarding cooked roms.

How polished are the roms cooked by the major chefs here? Because when using roms cooked for winmo, each ones have irritating bugs that need to be reflashed constantly on a weekly basis.

Is the desire rom build still in its early beta stage?

Thanks guys!
[Nexus One General] darx:
Cyan's ROM is perfect from my use. I have yet to try a sense rom, like modaco's because of compatibility problems. I can vouch for cyans rom being FAST and without error.
[Nexus One General] sthoeft:
As far as I can tell the (non Sense) ROMs from Cyanogen and MoDaCa are really stable and don't have any issues with standart android apps.
[Nexus One General] raven2000:

[Nexus One General] GlenH:

[Nexus One General] y2whisper:
Some of the roms can be, but thats mainly in test roms or "alpha" releases. Guys that create roms here are good at letting you know what issues are present in roms so you can decide if thats a big deal for you or not.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
As a former winmo guy I would say there were plenty of stable roms that didnt require reflashing, ever. Where you using mtty? At any rate I have only tried enoms rom so far. It has a couple odd issues for me but most of them I found answers to, the gain over the stock rom is well worth dealing with them and the rom itself has been stable. I'll be giving CM a shot here shortly and see how that goes. There is in general a feeling of android development being in its infancy to me as compared to the winmo stuff.
[Nexus One General] FaJu:
The Desire rom is still in alpha stages, but it is polished enough to be considered a full release.
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
All ROMs available for N1 are near perfection. No major bugs.
[Nexus One General] tropmonky:
don't be posting stuff that just isn't true... Pretty much all the ROMS are super stable (as I type this I just got a call I tried to pick up with bluetooth and the phone froze up, only happend about 3 times in the last month).

However, some ROMs are farther than others.. Right now from what I know ALL the SenseUI roms do not have 100% Bluetooth working... this is because the bluetooth stack has hooks into the SenseUI Kernel. The Nexus One can't use that kernel...

There are always little fixes for the ROMs that cooks produce, but on the whole the N1 has experienced very stable roms for the most part. (I'm comparing to lots of other phones I have played with like my HTC Tilt, LOL).
[Nexus One General] din0_22:
My experience coming from the infamous HD2 (Leo) to my very first Android which happened to be the Nexus one, i can only imagine how HAPPY you will become.

I have been a looooong time Big time fan of Winmo from Pocket PC 2002 to WM 6.5 until few weeks ago when i decided to abort the ship.

I have just realized how stupid i am to compromise all my time in a mobile operating system that keeps on wasting my time (i.e. Taking out the battery because it hangs/froze up for so many times in one day, never missed a day without a dropped call, constantly ending task in task manager to speed up the phone etc.. etc.. Upgrading firmware every freaking week thinking that maybe this time it will be more stable etc.. etc..)

I did not realized all these until one day, i have decided to write down how many times i would need to restart my infamous HD2 in one day, guess what?? 37 times!

to make it short, i sold it and got the nexus one! and for the first time in my life, i felt that this phone is worth every penny!

Although, i missed the HTC sense... i now rooted it and installed kingklick version of desire rom which is absolutely amazing! and much much better than my previous HD2!

Now that the Android Market is getting popular each day! Im Lovin it!

Since day 1, i have not even restarted the phone nor had experience any hangs or any malfunction.
[Nexus One General] andredabomb92:
dont even think about using the sense rom, they have bugs and get slow over time, not to mention the horrible battery drain from the htc sense system bc of all the apps running, just stick with cyanogen or MCR

edit: i also came from winmo (omnia user) and the flashing experience isnt as exciting as winmo's, i personally enjoyed flashing like every week, but on the nexus you will flash like once every now and then as their roms are more stable, and new rom releases arent that often as the nexus is still new and is pretty much the most up to date android phone, so dont expect much until newer phones with better or different interfaces are released...
[Nexus One General] din0_22:
what are you talkin about??? i am using kingklick version 1.0 desire rom for two weeks and never had an issue (besides the noted bluetooth and camera flash capture). which ofcourse are acceptable to my daily use.

the rom itself is fast compared to the original modaco alpha 21, although it is still based with the modaco (with kings mods, it made a lot of progress)

it also includes the wifi and usb tether application built in.

never had a problem with the 3g or hsdpa and reception as well.

overall ot is great!
