This app works great! Stopped all sorts of apps from starting up! Good stuff, thanks!

**EDIT**

Only killed them once the phone was booted completely. Didn't do a logcat to verify this at first.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chowlala:
Haha, actually I noticed what it does is just kill the task that starts up. It doesn't PREVENT the task from starting though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
Should be something like startup auditor then. Actually preventing apps from starting up would require a rooted phone with the autostarts app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chowlala:
Yeah, could there be a chance someone in the community would be able to mod the app to do so? Not sure if the dev is reading this here. Lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
I think the dev is probably trying to cater to non rooted users as well lol. Not 100% sure of this, but stopping apps from starting up at all should require a rooted phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Somebody has. It's called Autostarts as stated. Find it on the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chowlala:
We want an app that PREVENTS apps from starting up from boot, not something that starts more... haha.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] paulk_:
As was stated twice, that's what autostarts does?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chowlala:
Hmm, my bad, sorta misunderstood both the msg here, and the app description.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DrJB:
nice it's like Msconfig for your phone LOL

I have some .bin files for the Sony X10, could someone tell me how I view the contents of these files?

I'm hoping one of these files is the bootloader.....

Thanks for your help
[Nexus One General] webexwebex:
Garmin and Asus have released several GarminFone with Garmin navigation software. I know it's not in 2.1.

Will there be garmin running on Nexus One(2.1 or 2.2)?

Thanks!:)
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Why would you need that...
[Nexus One General] lnjryan:
I agree, why would you need that if you can already download Google Maps from the market?

I have a Garmin Nuvi 265 T in my car and the software is almost identical to Google Maps Navigation.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
lol. You can always tell when people have solid coverage all around them. For many of us no matter which carrier we are on we are often without coverage. That makes online mapping useless to us at those times, hence the need for having a solution that works without a data connection. There are also those who are running their phones on wifi without a data plan or those who are pay per kilobyte and would prefer not pull down the data required.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Garmin allows offline turn by turn right?

That's why someone would want garmin on their phones.
[Nexus One General] lnjryan:
I dont believe that to be true.

If I have no satellite signal the Garmin barks right away.

You get a popup screen that says Poor Satellite Reception.

I've even seen it on a clear day without a cloud in the sky.
[Nexus One General] btmec:
I believe the previous post was meaning "offline" as being not connected to the internet. The garmin units do not require an internet data connection but must be able to receive the GPS signal. When you are traveling outside your phone coverage area the data connection on your phone is worthless. Thus the need for a stand alone GPS unit.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Forgot to mention that Navigon is supposed to hit here shortly with their android navigation. I emailed them and they described the launch as "imminent". That one will reportedly come in two versions, a stand alone and a connected version.
[Nexus One General] lnjryan:
so then again why would you want this on your nexus one...

and doesn't the nexus have a GPS receiver?
[Nexus One General] gllu:
Man, you are obviously in the dark about this thing, so why comment?

The guy is looking for an offline navigation app, one that has maps and routing abilities stored on the phone flash card. I need such a solution too and think it would be great to have a garmin app for android.

Unfortunately I am quite sure it will be non-profitable for garmin to release such, as it will be hacked in hours after the release.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Maybe I'll make it more clear...

People want to be able to navigate using GPS ONLY, not using EDGE/3G/HSDPA data.

There are already solutions for that, free and paid (cracked MotoNav adjusted for Nexus, CoPilot, Sygic, Waze etc), but naturally, people want better solutions, and some want Garmin - why not? Also, iGO is supposed to release the next Android version, which might be better than the one MotoNav is based on.

And yes, Nexus has a built-in GPS receiver. Too many don't understand the meaning of A-GPS, which is just a regular GPS, but the lock is acquired more quickly, using cellular triangulation to calculate approximate position and look for specific satellites available at that position, speeding the GPS lock time by a serious margin. Or using other algorithms for speeding up the GPS lock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
[Nexus One General] NexuGsx:
I'm going to spell it out as much as possible:

A Garmin system keeps all maps locally stored on the device, so the only signal needed is GPS (aka being outside). All route information is calculated on device, with no 3G/E needed.

The Google Maps system only stores what you have downloaded through 3G/E in its cache, so it needs a pretty constant 3G/E connection in order to download maps, navigation routes, etc, as well as the GPS to position. Not everywhere you go has a 3G/E connection, so Google Maps doesn't work everywhere.

Garmin only needs a GPS signal to navigate, Google Maps needs a GPS connection and a 3G/E connection.
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
good clarification !

now, about the google maps cache; how much "look ahead" does it cache, if any ? I haven't experimented with turning off connectivity (cellular) on the phone while using the navigation app yet, so I'm curious.

if it were easily possible to cache ohhh, just the route, on a 1000 meter resolution for a long trip, wouldn't that work fairly well ?

I'm sure someone here is a garmin/gmaps/copilot guru, and can answer that. Hope I haven't changed the subject too much.

:)
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
I would like to see some posters in this thread use Google Maps abroad, you know when you actually need navigation, when they are roaming. Say hello to a pretty hefty phone bill if you used Google Maps for your navigation needs.

More offline map solutions are needed on Android and hopefully they will come soon.
[Nexus One General] tostefoo:
totaly agree with you .... also in Bulgaria 1MB 3G/E traffic cost around 3EUR - so if i need to be navigated morning from home to my workplace it will cost me more then the fuel :(
[Nexus One General] webexwebex:
Just to clarify, as I know, Google Navigation is just available in a few countries and it doesn't provide offline map and needs data connection to download map...

If your country doesn't have Google Navigation, or the expense of GPRS/EDGE/3G is expensive(for example, in xxx, it cost about 1.5$ for 1M), you will need Garmin or something else that provide offline map(doesn't need data connection), navigation.

Garmin is available in symbian and win mobile now. Hope Nexus One could have it soon...
[Nexus One General] webexwebex:
The expense of adding my google account and downloading 2.1 update1 is 18.5$ when Nexus one was started for the first time. Just 19M data, can you imagine? ;)

Off course, it's not in U.S.
[Nexus One General] lnjryan:
Thank you for explaining it to me... obviously I didn't understand the OP's question...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I caught this on LH a few weeks ago:

http://lifehacker.com/5508032/mapdroyd-downloads-free-maps-for-offline-navigation
[Nexus One General] rony05:
android navigon is out for some time now. not NA version tough . don't understand what you mean by stand alone and connected version .
[Nexus One General] webexwebex:
hi, thanks for the reply. Where can I find free or cracked navigation app on nexus one?
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Stand alone= does not require data connection, maps are stored onboard and the host unit performs required calculations. Connected= maps are not stored on board and calculations are performed remotely. I took it from what appeared to be American English that the OP was American and the NA version of Navigon is supposed to hit soon.

Speaking of the OP, warez and such are a no no here.
[Nexus One General] kroff:
Garmin navigation would be really sweet :)

i've been using navigon and copilot for some time now, but i still have a garmin device in my car. way better map coverage. and a lot more maps to choose from. basically every country on this planet has some sort of garmin compatible map out there.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Yeah Mapdroyd has been around for quite a while actually. It was one of the first apps I downloaded since I got my Nexus. Though lacking in many features but it's probably the best and easiest solution for folks like me living in Asia that don't have paid apps in the market and Google Navigation.

Don't really like Open street maps but better than nothing I suppose. Another free alternative is Rmaps. http://robertdeveloper.blogspot.com/

You can rip Google maps into map files for Rmaps to access offline. But not as straight forward and downloading stored maps can be time consuming and huge.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Search Google for "waze", and you get a free one. Waze can download the whole country/area map to the phone, and unless you want traffic-based route - it won't need a cellular connection to route.

In the same way, using Google will bring you to the modification of MotoNav that can run on Nexus. iGO currently doesn't support Nexus' resolution in any official app.
[Nexus One General] NRGZ28:
Asking for pirated software here is against the forum rules. Please refrain from doing that in the future.

I'm sure there's plenty of free solutions as well :) Enjoy.
[Nexus One General] gllu:
What I really need is offline offroad navigation which no free program has. This is maybe the worst part of the android now, as all other mobile OS have the option.
[Nexus One General] Ryanmcleod1:
Screw Navigon, Get Coplilot. I have had it for a couple weeks now and it is waaaaay better than my garmin on windows mobile and better than google maps on android. It dosnt need internet connection at all unless you want to check the weather from inside the app or gas prices. Its a full featured navigation suite. The only thing is you want to get the latest release cause it might go haywire like it did on my nexus one.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Try Orux Maps.
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
You should try out http://mobac.dnsalias.org/ with http://codesector.com/maverick.php

You create the map on your PC (very easy), with quite a few options on which map you want to use and you put it on your SD card. Maverick isn't free though, it costs €3, but you can buy it from their site if you don't have market access. The lite version also works fine.

You can navigate via the map or with a compass sporting a waypoint. You'll need a rather large SD card though if you want to have bigger areas with the closest zoom levels.
[Nexus One General] Marine6680:
It would be a great option to have if google maps would allow you to download the entire route and the roads near and around that route before you head out and then use that data for the trip, (this could be done via wifi) and then there would be no data use for navigation after, unless you asked it for something. Saving enough data to help should you make a wrong turn or take an exit for food/gas, so long as you don't wander to far off course. This way, you would not need to store large map files, and/or these files can be temp files auto-deleted after being used.

I do know that the navigation will work without a data connection currently, but it will not be able to recalculate should you venture off the set course. I know because on a recent trip I hit a large dead zone and the navigation followed with me, but when I turned off the course to go to a gas station, the app could not compensate until I got back on course again. How far/much of the route is actually cached I have no clue though.
[Nexus One General] mindfrost82:
CoPilot as an app is pretty good, but their maps have been horrible for me. 3 subdivisions that have been around for 5+ years aren't even in CoPilot's maps (They've been in Navteq and TeleAtlas databases for about 3 years now).

Back when I was on WM, I tried lots of nav apps and for me, the best routes were those by Garmin. It picked the same routes as a Nuvi and they seemed to be the most logical.

Google Maps Nav has been good too (and those subdivisions show up in there too), but I do prefer having offline maps with Google Local Search (or some sort of live search) like Garmin had in WM.

So I too am waiting for Garmin to release an Android app :)
[Nexus One General] rony05:
Exactly! coopilot maps are terrible old.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
It seems to download maps for quite a bit of the route (and only seems to need GPRS to keep up to date).

If it runs out it switches to an overhead view which is obviously less detailed but covers a wider area. I've never had it give up completely - even driving some distance into the countryside.

Personally although it's a good navigation app it doesn't really replace a dedicated satnav yet - no good POI support (you can add kml files up to about 1000 points but even my good beer guide is about 2500, and you can't do warn near poi so no speed camera support), no automatic rerouting around traffic blackspots, etc. OTOH I do find myself using it a fair bit.
[Nexus One General] webexwebex:
Agree. Hope it will be ready soon!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rajivshahi:
Hi to all devs and fellow XDA members i would like to request all the developers to make a app to activate camera without other person knowing it... with following functionality...

1) fake call , so that you can take your mobile out.

2) start camera without any shutter sound or flash with the answering of fake call

3) Turn display off or show lockscreen( wallpaper) while recording... (recording in background for video mode)...

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

there is somewhat a similar app for android.. link here
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I know how to initiate the camera, and potentially how to make it start recording without user interface...and how to make it hide in the background thereafter....I dont know how to make a fake call tho....

Question tho: How would recording while the person's head is on the phone help? Just wondering :-P
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
He wants it to look like he's received a call, but he's actually started video recording people around him.

Sounds like a rather unusual request to me. Out of all the reasons I can think of for wanting this application, most of them are seedy or illegal. Maybe that's just my mind :p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rajivshahi:
Thanx for your intrest... regarding the fake app , it's just a screen schot of an unknown person and some random number and ringing... may be just a screenshot like this and when you click(slide) the answer button it will initiate the camera.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Thanx again...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rajivshahi:
Well it's good that you think it that way... where i work there are lots people who are mostly blugging and talking against someons back. with this app i would be able to get the evidence of what is going around. I think that is not illegal:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Pauly_k:
Get 'baby monitor' set a number, leave your phone somewhere hidden, when noise is heard it rings the designated number. You can hear everything on the other side of that phone. Best option for now..... :)

Nice idea though, this app would be awesome!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
It depends what you're going to do with the recording.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] shah1237:
while your intentions must be good, however you do understand such app would be an invasion of privacy as well as considered illegal.

i wonder someone will make such app public.

best way to get it going would be to learn software skills and make you own. ;)

remember dont make it public.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] JohnCena83:
Remember, Guardian use it for looking activities of his teens. An employer would find it useful to determine if a phone is being used to make personal calls at the expense of the company.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] khankll:
dear i need such software,where can i get it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] buzzin:
Actually if it is a recording made in a public place it is legal and no consent is needed. What you do with it (or more a case of what you use it for) after words is the key to legal issues. At least in Canada.
[HD2 General] Hotlad00:
hey all, gone thru the search and cant find a guide, how do i change where my camera photos are saved as at the min they are saved to a folder called 100media, also how do i take the photos out of there into a seperate folder?
[HD2 General] filohipo:
Hello

You have an option to choose where your HD2 stores the photos - either in microSD card or internal memory

Start->Photo->Tools->touch Hd2 icon in Menu

it changes from a sd icon to HD2 icon
[General Questions and Answers] htc fan89:
hey guys,

I love how the htc incredible looks, it looks better than the nexus one and i love the red color that's inside also. So, would we ever see a gsm version of it?
[General Questions and Answers] Agent Zach:
After several LONG hours of looking into this, as I'd LOVE an Incredible but hate Verizon, HTC has yet to speak of it. I'll bring it up with Brandon from PocketNow. See if he could possibly request a Professional Response from HTC.

As of right now, the Incredible with Verizon is the equivalent of the iFail with AT&T.
[General Questions and Answers] htc fan89:
It be awesome if htc make's a gsm version of it. I would pick incredible over a desire anytime lol and thanks for the reply.
[General Questions and Answers] Orangestrat:
How much pain and suffering would it take to stuff the radio from a Desire or an N1 into the Incredible? The rest of the internals are pretty much the same, and the software would take a little (or a lot) finesse.

Would I have to mess with MEID/IMEI/serial numbers?

Am I missing something?

hi, all, i have recently purchased LEGEND INDIA model rom version is 1.32.720.2 with radio 47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L,

ringer is becoming silent on its own, randomly, i am missing calls because of that? what may be the problem?
[Legend General] tech_life:
go to mobile network settings and choose gsm/wcdma auto ....this will fix the ringtone issue .......
[Legend General] sfara:
You must be joking...what's the 2G/3G has to do with the ringtones ? I would try to stop the accelerometer...the one that lowers the ringtone sound when u pick it up.
[Legend General] dryspuri:
hi, i think u misunderstood!!

i have got no problem with ringing becoming silent or low when i pickup or move the phone!!

all of sudden phone is on the table a call comes & ringer is not ringing this happens randomly!!

i wonder whats the problem, i restarted the phone after restart it has never happened!!!
[Legend General] nickporwal:
i also have Legend india version.i also facing this ringing problem. i have disabled the accelerometer which lowers the ringtone. even then it gets muffled after 10 or 20 seconds automatically. but i dnt have any issues listening songs. please help! i tried many setting bt no luck...

[Hero CDMA General] subrm1:
I am new to the forum, so please be gentle...

I recently rooted my HTC Hero (Sprint) and was wondering if I will be required to unroot when it comes time (whenever it will be) to upgrade to the official 2.1 release. I guess my question really is, will the release automatically undo the exploit that gives me root permissions, or will I have to do it before the upgrade will install?
[Hero CDMA General] spiritcrusher33:
Why not wait for roms from the 2.1 update..so u dont have to unroot.

-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
The official release is going to unroot your phone and it will not matter whether you are rooted or not.

Also, if you decide to run the official RUU you may not be able to gain root access again. Most likely a method will be found, but there are no guarantees.

Another alternative is to wait a day after the official release and run one of the custom ROMs here that will utilize the official version, but maintain your ability to keep root.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Also, the process is not automagic. The update will have to be downloaded on your PC or you will have to go to a Sprint Store/Bestbuy to have them do the update for you.

Don't worry about the message you get saying an update is available. It's won't install it self.

But +1 for waiting 24 hours for a dev rom.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
Um don't u mean probably within two or three hours after official update is out. U know the rom devs will not wait a whole day. Lol
[Hero CDMA General] subrm1:
Forgive my ignorance...I used asroot2 to root my Hero vice flashing the ROM, will this make a difference? I have not actually loaded a ROM yet. I downloaded ROM Manager and intend to use it, is it worth while or is there a better way out there?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Rom Manager only works if you have flashed ClockWork recovery.

Most our devs just do AmonRa updates.

asroot2 is what we all used (for sprint users at least...)(or some variation in the implementation of it)

Pretty much asroot2 allows root access until you flash a rom that has su installed in to the /bin directory. After you have flashed a rom, asroot2 is useless and actually probably removed, never really paid attention.

No appoligies needed for your questions as they have merrit. But searching the forum for "unroot for 2.1 update" would yeild most of these answers.
[Hero CDMA General] subrm1:
So I've got the recovery image...which ROM would be recommended to just experiment with? This will be the first time I've done this.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
Look for cb.cp-v69 it is the fastest, most stablest Rom everest. Est. ;p
