[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Here are steps to do if it is not already installed on your phone. However, if it is you can not install when it is already there. I'm not sure how to remove in terminal and everything I've tried it tells me read only blah, blah, blah...

I tried mount -o remount,rw /system---that is suppose to work.

1.Make sure anything you want installed is in

the root of the sdcard..(/sdcard/nameoffile.apk)

2. Download a terminal emulator from the market.

If it installs continue..If not then continue on back to the thread.

3. Open up the terminal emulator. It should ask permission from SU. >Always allow

4. Now type the following

su (hit enter)

install /sdcard/name_of_file.apk /system/app/name_of_file.apk----if it is a system app

If it is a downloaded app then use /data/app
[Hero CDMA General] redlinethecar:
Ok.... well I tried that way also and I get the error

install: not found

I downloaded the terminal app from the market and entered the commands as you said for ex.

install /sdcard/HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk

Thanks a lot though I wish it could have been that easy.

Ok, I know it sounds crazy but has anyone out there found a good way to mount one of these to a motorcycle?

I have a couple bikes but my new long distance bike is a Honda ST1300 and I am to a point where I am either going to install another Garmin mount for my Street Pilot 2730 on the ST1300 or come up with some way to mount my Nexus One. Basically all I am looking for is the ability to listen to music and hear the navigation. I have the music and nav working now because I have a J&M 2003 CB/Intercom/Aux input on the bike. I can plug my phone in and get sound. So far I have been putting my phone in my jacket pocket with a headphone extension jack run to it. I would rather mount it so it would be easier to charge off a powerlet jack on the bike. I thought about buying one of the Google Car Docks as I like how it seems to securely hold the phone but I fear there is too much built into the base for that to work for me. I was going to pull the base off and try and modify it to use a RAM mount.

My other option that I was considering was a RAM Aqua Box for PDAs. Anyone out there ever try them? I was thinking I might be able to modify one to have a headphone jack and power pass through some how. That would give me the added benefit of being water resistant. My original plan was to just take it down when it is raining.

Anyone out there try any of this?
[Nexus One Accessories] dave98rt:
I have been trying to find something similar. I have the car dock and think it should be sturdy enough to use on a bike if you have a large enough flat area to mount it to. The way the suction cup locks in seems very secure. I haven't tried it yet but intend to soon. A ram mount solution would be much better, however. Has anyone tried the Iphone Ram mount with the nexus one? I've heard that the nexus one fits many of those Iphone cradles so this could be a possible solution.
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
I can't mount the suction cut to the wind screen as it has an electric windscreen that moves up and down. It would be fine if I had the screen up all the way but in the lower positions it wouldn't work out. About the only other place I could stick it would be on the tank and I don't like that location that well. So I guess I will have to keep my eyes out for a RAM solution. While the iphone and the Nexus are close in size I don't know how well it would work. The Car dock would be the best option. I guess I should just buy one and see if I can modify it to suit my needs. the generic holders are fine in a car but on a motorcycle where they are subject to a lot more forces (wind) and if they fall they are toast means I really need a secure mount.
[Nexus One Accessories] wschom:
Have you tried this

http://www.google.com/products?q=motorcycle+cell+phone+mount+nexus&hl=en&aq=f
[Nexus One Accessories] shograt:
Well, as of a few minutes ago, that google search gave two results. Of the two, the one intended as a bicycle mount looked like it'd hold the N1 more securely... but both of 'em leave the phone fairly exposed.

For both of the mounts shown, I'd have to say no. Bumps hit harder on a bike - instead of one wheel dipping down into a pothole out of three, you have one out of two. At speed, that's a serious jostle, and neither mount would give me confidence in the phone staying in place.

A ride started with the sun out, can turn rainy at the drop of a dime, and if you're out on the highway, it can take a minute to get off to the side to cover your phone - plenty of time for it to get soaked.

My helmets retain pristine appearance for roughly 20 minutes of ownership - there's a lot of stuff flying through the air on the highway which you'd barely notice (if at all) when riding a car; that tiny rock kicked 20' into the air by the truck 12 car lengths in front of you, could easily smack the back of the phone.

All in all, my recommendation is either a RAM case + mount (expensive! I've priced their stuff), or a small pelican case w/ DIY mounting (cheap, ugly, works - did this for a previous phone and GPS), or do more or less what you've been doing - jacket pocket, screen off. I'd switch over from Bluetooth to a wired connection to helmet speakers, as that'll save your battery - when running mine this way, I can get 5-6 hours of GPS nav from the N1 while riding. Bluetooth, I'd suspect cuts that down by a lot...

If you're doing longer rides (fun! But you shouldn't need GPS for that... I just tape some basic route instructions to my tank, and use the speakers for music), carry a charged-up second battery, and swap when you gas up. When you stop for the night, charge both.

-- Okay, I should've read your OP better - you're not using BT, you're using the headphone jack. With music + nav + screen off, should still be able to do a long ride without issues, I'd think. Handlebar mounts - the closest I've come to inserting my bike into someone's car was when I was looking down at the GPS. Better to go audio only.

(Also: I don't care how rain-proof a jacket claims to be, don't trust 'em - trashed an iphone that way. Now I use a 'seal pouch', safe to submerge (assuming I'm not running a headphone out of it - but with the headphone routed through it, it's still rain-safe, at least), and keep that in my pocket for use when the skies gray up.
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
Thanks, the one that resembles the Google mount where it wraps around the phone more might do the trick. While the bar mount included does me no good it looks like it has a ball on the end that may work with a RAM mount. If it doesn't I am only out $20. I think I will order one up.
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
Keep in mind there are many types of motorcycles out there. What you said is true on some. If I were riding a cruiser (Harley or one of the many clones) it would say I 100% agree. I don't think I would attempt this on that type of a bike. However the bike I am riding is a Honda ST1300. These bikes are very smooth. I have ridden Harleys and some of the many clones and the V4 with the counter balancers makes an engine buttery smooth and very quite. It is amazing how many of us complain about things you never hear people talk about on a motorcycle. Things like how loud the tires are. Yes, I don't like the tires I am running now because they are too loud.

ST1300

The cowling and electrically adjustable windscreen on it offers lots of protection when needed. I just got back from a trip from Arizona to Minnesota and hit lots of rain from Kansas through to Iowa. I had my phone in my jacket pocket and it was fine. Now keep in mind that my suit is water resistant alone and I had another rain suit on top of it. This was easy to do though because the temps were pretty low. On my ST1100 I have mounted my Garmin 2730 behind the cowling in a similar location to where I would mount the phone and it has very rarely seen any moisture while on the move. I know many other riders on this same bike that use Garmin Nuvis that are not waterproof like my Garmin 2730 and they just put a zip lock bag over it if there is light rain. If it is heavy it goes in one of the many storage bins. I would do the same with the phone. Honestly the most I will use it in this mount is on short rides in good weather. If I am doing a long touring ride it will go in a zip lock in the clear map pouch of my tank bag. I just don't ride around with a tank bag other than when touring.

As for rocks and debris. I am not too worried about them. Again the bike is offers good protection. Sure my helmet takes a beating if I run the windscreen in the low position but with it bumped up again it is pretty much like being on a Goldwing. Potholes are the reason I wanted a mount that wrapped around the phone like what the Google Car Dock does rather than something generic or these simple ones that the phone slides into.

Also in case anyone else is interested in doing something like this in the future. The problem with using the phone like this is that you can't interface with the screen when you have gloves on. I found out that you can stitch some silver thread into the glove so that it conducts through to your skin and you will then be able to interface with the screen. I have also tested and discovered that this works through zip lock style bags as well as the zip lock/clear map case combo on the tank bag. While it should be mentioned it isn't a good idea to be setting up a new route while on the move it is handy to be able to say, route around a detour should you be stopped in traffic or start up the music player should it stop for some reason.

All well and good, but please don't accuse me of riding a cruiser! I ride a naked/standard/streetfighter, depending on who you ask (FWIW: 02 Triumph TB, with ZRX1100 front & rear, rearsets).
[Nexus One Accessories] ohgood:
sweet

--- ride that is. very sweet. i've not seen one of those up on one wheel before. wow !

i would worry about vibration and moisture without a water resistant box. i've traveled with only a tomtom suction cupped to the tank, and it was secure. would i put my nexus there, certainly not. i also wouldn't put my nexus in the open air. or ANY PHONE that i might rely on in an accident....

when i ride here is what i do:

UNLOCK THE PHONE

PUT "ICE" contract on the main screen, then "WIFE", "PARENTS" with direct dial on the MIDDLE screen

... then just ride sanely as ever, and hope no one has to use my shortcuts. remember, they'll have a much harder time alerting your loved ones if the phone is locked !

also, print an address label, bright orange, with "ICE PHONE IN XYZ COMPARTMENT!!!" on whatever part of your bars / screen/ lid is visible. they're cheap, easy to print/change, and can save a life if your buddy/wife/whatever has fallen and you are unconsciouse.

i'm not preaching, or being negative, hope you don't take it that way. :)

******

if/when you try out a good, rubber isolated water resistant mount, PLEASE UPDATE THIS THREAD. others would enjoy your knowledge :)

the bmw forums have some really helpful guys. snobby, sure, but helpful ;-)

ride safe :)
[Nexus One Accessories] shograt:
I've lost faith in ICE contacts ever since I asked a few EMT's whether they check the phone for tagged entries of that nature, and they'd never even heard of the convention. So instead, I just keep a card with contact info in my front breast pocket, in case the wallet gets torn away.

BMW: sure, they'll be helpful, but a large part of the ego there seems to be how much your farkles cost you - velvet-lined, custom machined from aluminum recovered from the space shuttle crash, hand-delivered by the German Prime Minister. I'd check sv650 (or similar, tiger, whatever) forums, since they seem to care more about making something which works, but cheaply.

I may be a bit biased against BMW's. And Harleys.

The small-sized Pelican case (iphone sized) will hold the nexus quite nicely, and the overpressure valve can be made to accomodate cabling in & out of the case in a water-tight fashion. 's what I used for a few years, until I decided I ended up spending too much time looking at lcd's instead of the road.
[Nexus One Accessories] sixcoronas:
If you are still thinking about a Pelican case, this might work for you:

[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
I didn't mean that you were riding a cruiser, just that I would see it being an issue on that type of bike. Where I really have never been hit by anything other than that hands and helmet. Most people have no idea what a ST is because not many are imported so I wasn't sure if you knew what it looked like.
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
Yeah, while not as easy to put up on one wheel as a sport bike (it is 723lbs wet), it will lift in 1st and 2nd without much effort.

That is a good point about needing a phone after an accident. Although after an accident hard enough where I might damage it in a mount, I probably wouldn't be calling anyone. I know a few people that wear custom dog tags when riding with contact info.

I guess the other point of view is that if something were to happen to my phone, I do have insurance on it. I think they replacement deductible was $150 or so. That is less than a lot of GPS devices. Well at least the ones that are worth a darn.

I really wanted to go with the aqua box but I don't know if I can get power and audio jacks in there.

I've got a brodit holder en route and have a rivet gun waiting!

**EDIT** I've ordered one of those Amzer Bike mounts though. Has anyone tried one yet?
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
What are you using the rivet gun for? It looks like you posted photos to a bar mount as well. A bar mount doesn't do me any good on the ST1300. It doesn't use traditional round bars like your bike.

Bars on a ST1300
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
Rivet gun is for the Brodit Holder I ordered -

I was thinking just to rivet this holder on the left side of the dash.

Since seeing the bike mount, I will wait and see if that can do the job for me before I go drilling holes in things! :)
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
Let me know how it works if you think of it.

I am leaning more towards a holder that holds the top of the phone as well. The other option that I am thinking about is the pelican case. I will drill a hole in it to feed a USB cable with a right angle micro USB plug through and seal it up. That way I can power. Then I might add Bluetooth to the intercom system so I don't have to mess with the audio jack.
[Nexus One Accessories] AndyCr15:
I don't really want a case round it myself, but definitely I'm wondering about some kind of clip to go on the top to hold it in.

Definitely I want an A2DP BT headset, so I can patch all sound, music, podcasts and calls through the helmet wireless-ly. I do this in my car now and it's awesome!
[Nexus One Accessories] sennister:
I have been looking into buying another kit J&M Kit for my bike that would let me do this. For all the parts that I want it is going to add another $500 in parts. That would give me A2DP BT connection to the phone for all sound, music and phone calls. It would also add GMRS/FRS radio for two way communication with other bikes that I ride with in addition to the CB 2 way radio that I have right now. At that point I might as well hook up my Garmin GPS as well because it will give me another input that I won't be using. I already have over $1000 sunk into the communications on my bike to get me intercom, CB and all the other stuff needed to make it work such as noise filters and antenna. I would probably want to add another antenna for the GMRS/FRS radio then to boost my range as not everyone has the ability to talk on both bands. That is kind of the problem I have now. Half of use are on CB and half on GMRS/FRS. With the setup I have now I can pull my aux input and loose music and connect into a GMRS/FRS radio and listen. I just can't talk as I don't have all then necessary parts yet.

Eventually all this stuff gets to the point where it is too easy to get a hold of me. Right now I like it that I can't be reached by cell when I am out riding. It lets me get away from work and all the interruptions in life. Besides talking on the phone and juggling all those radios and GPS is a distraction that can be dangerous on a bike.

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
there are several ongoing issues with the alarms.

tips to try to help get it working for you are...

use bsbtweaks to turn on "notification dismiss x time" (I forget the exact wording) to turn on proper windows snooze times.

set your alarms and alarm sounds using settings menu all settings clocks and alarms instead of the htcalarms screen.

in settings menu all settings sounds and notifications, in the dropdown find "reminders" and tick show message on screen.

hope these help some.

So my fuze bricked on me several months back and I bought a tilt 2. Been using it mostly for audio books at work, but recently wanted to switch back to listening to some streaming radio stations online, namely di.fm. Which I did just fine on my fuze, it saved an .asx file and I was able to open that straight into windows media player.

My tilt 2 won't recognize .asx files and won't stream for the life of it, anyone have any similar issues? I'm running stock rom with no touchflo.

Get TCPMP - it will play anything you throw at it

Get it from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5538008&postcount=694

In case you dont know how to use it, just copy any .cab file to the device or storage card, go to the location with file explorer and click on it. It will install.

Follow the instructions on that thread regarding settings, and also, make sure you go into the 'file types' settings and make it default for .asx, .avi, .aac, etc.

I would not let it play .m4v though, as the built-in player by HTC does a better job of playing those than TCPMP does, due to direct hardware support. It will play full-sized xvid movies commonly found in torrents (the ones made to fit on a standard cd, about 700mb) without messing with them pretty well - not perfect, but OK.

Also, if you're into it, check my radio station:

Greetings all

I'm an XDA veteran, and have had an idea for an application I'd like to develop. I have programming skills, mainly in VB6.

So my question is, what application/language is best/simplest for developing my app on WIndows Mobile? The main criteria I have is that I want to be able to read data from and write data to a remote windows based pc - I'm assuming that I'm going to do that via wifi or bluetooth networking.

I'm "between jobs" at the moment, so looking for a development platform that won't cost me much, if anything. I intend to make my application initially as free/donateware - it's something I need, but may be useful to others, but I don't want the hassle of trying to make it secure, serial numbers etc, for it to end up cracked on a warez site!

So what's the best development tool for PC/Windows Mobile development?

Thanks in advance
