I had exactly the same thing yesterday, everything had been working fine for a week or so, and then suddenly when I went to the market, nothing would download.

Like you, I tried all of the obvious rebooting etc etc, but still downloads just displayed "starting download" or something similar, and it just stayed there!

Finally decided to do a "Factory data reset", under "Privacy" in the "Settings" menu and that seemed to work. I hope it doesn't start doing it again, as it took me forever to get everything setup again!
[Desire General] watercool:
had the same today.

i went to cache/dalvik-cache and deleted system@app@vending.apk@classes.dex

worked afterwards :)

No idea what I have done but it did help

Hello fellahs.

After installing the new version og google maps (version 4210) i now have a navigation app launcher in the app draw, however i live in a country were google maps navigation isnt available, and it tells me aswell when i try to launch it.

So my question is if you people that live a place where maps navigation is available, have always had that app launcher, or did you first get it in this update aswell?

The app looks like a blue arrow and is just called "Navigation".

Iam just wondering if google is gearing up for realeaseing navigation to new locatins.

What should #200 be?

Come on people, flood me with suggestions! First one to guess an app I don't already have (and is halfway useful), gets a prize!

EDIT: So I've been suggested 3 apps that I don't have and are currently determining whether or not either of the three could be my 200th app.

They are:

Hockey Nations

Bar Tender

FeedR

Remember the Milk / Astrid (doing RTM for free) Had Astrid installed, but I'm too lazy to keep stuff in it. The only "list/task" app I use is Our Groceries, which actually gets forgotten about more than it's used.

mobile package tracker Don't order packages enough...

Dropbox Already have it.

FeedR Gonna give this one a shot, as NewsRob is awesome but way too expensive for a simple news reader.

Hockey Nations Not a hockey fan, but the graphics of this app looks pretty intense... gonna give it a try too.

iTag I usually edit all the tags on the computer before offloading to the phone... but I could see where this would be useful.

SongDNA Search Couldn't find this app...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] antoniouslj:

AK Notepad If it had Google docs sync support, I'd use it over Gdocs... but that only means replacing an already installed app.

Bump May try this once my wife gets her fender mytouch, but until then it's useless to me.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oberonblaq:
Can anyone tell me if and how i can get all of the ringtones from the various nexus one roms?

I have used a few different roms on my nexus and in each rom I hear a ringtone that i really like so I want to get all of those ringtones into my current rom (Enom 1.8.1).

So can anyone help me get these ringtones.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
This should be in the Q&A section.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
What ringtones, you can push them to /system/media/audio/ringtones
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oberonblaq:
So if i have the roms how do I extract the ringtones from the roms while they are on my laptop. Then I want to place the extracted ringtones on to my phone via usb.

So how do I do this? Is there a guide, a video tutorial, something?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
This has been discussed before. Search for guides on how to setup adb, mount the /system/ partition, and push the files to the location above.

You can extract the 'rom' zip file and look in the directory above to get the ringtones.

You can also just copy them to your sdcard and move them over from terminal or file manager.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dmulligan:
I just read about a G1 getting a LinPack score of about 3.5ish. Most of the nearly 100% improvementwas attributed to using a rom with JIT. Since the G1 is very similar to the Vogue shouldn't we be able to get similar results.

I am currently getting 1.65.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
If you thinks that's impressive, you should check out the new Froyo 2.2.

The Nexus One, which has 2.1 got a scrore of 6.5-7 MFLOPS, but with 2.2 it got 37.5 MFLOPS! That's an incredible performance increase.

I want 2.2, the G1 owners can keep their JIT compiler. Them fancy pants people. BTW, the article says that the HTC Hero averages a measly score of about 2 MFLOPS, so us getting 1.65 isn't bad. Though why the Nexus One gets 37.5 MFLOPS with 2.2 makes me wonder. It could be that 2.2 uses the FPU that's in the SnapDragonl, instead of the interger. If that's the case then our devices can only ever do ~1.65, cause they don't come with a FPU processor.

Though if JIT does give G1 owners a boost, then it'll certainly give us a boost. G1 doesn't have a FPU either. I'm also concerned about the 3D accelerator, as we get bad performance in some tests.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
The G1 and Vogue share the same chipset--although their CPU is clocked at 528 Mhz, and ours at 400 (at least natively, that is.)

That probably accounts for the difference of 1.65 vs. 2 MFLOPs result.

If the Linpack test is to scale across all platforms, and we estimate an average 400% improvement in floating point performance, we can probably expect 6-8 in terms of a MFLOPs score on Linpack with Froyo.

Real-world applications (integer arithmetic) will not benefit nearly as well as FP arithmetic, because FP arithmetic is incredibly burdensome. However, perhaps an expected improvement of.. 100%, or 2x, is reasonable (depending). Programs with small rapid loops, etc. will see the most benefit. It'll be interesting to see how the Vogue performs.

In regards to graphics / the Vogue GPU:

I'm not completely up to speed on it, but I believe a primitive driver does work for OGL 1.0-based acceleration (Neocore?) but that's it; nothing more than 1.0 (which would explain why Live Wallpapers do not accelerate properly/crash, etc.)

I was under the impression the chipset between the Vogue and the G1/Hero/Eris was the same, and that if we simply used the driver from the G1/Hero/Eris's 2.1 ROM, we'd have full 3D acceleration.. but I don't think that's the case. There's plenty of smarter individuals here who would've ascertained the same thing, but nothing available.

I think (from a GPU perspective) we have official OGL 1.0 support and that's it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
The Kaiser, like the Vogue, uses the 400 Mhz Qualcomm chip. The difference between the chip in the Vogue/Polaris/Kaiser and devices like the G1 is Mhz and small changes done to the ATI accelerator. Though, I don't think the changes for the accelerator are major.

I have no idea about our Android setup. Is it using open source drivers? Is it using a driver taken directly from another Android device and modified, like from the G1?

I also wondered about the battery life using Android with 3D acceleration. Since Android is linux and linux open source graphic drivers are horrible and usually don't have any power management, could it be our poor battery life is due to the graphics driver?

Could it also be that the graphics driver from the G1 would work on our devices, but is a proprietary driver, and therefore can't be distributed? So instead we use open source drivers to avoid legal action?

If anyone knows the answers to these questions that would be great. I'm trying to wonder why my Kaiser with Android uses more battery life when not in use. Browsing the web or talking on the phone the battery life seems normal, but it's when it's idle that it consumes power twice as fast as Windows Mobile. To me it seems something isn't totally off when the device is in standby, and I'm thinking it's graphics related.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I've tested JIT enabled dalvikvm's on both Donut and Eclair. I never saw any noticable improvement in speed. I did however observe longer boot times and odd behavior from heavy memory intensive applications. For example, the browser sometimes doesn't launch when you have clicked it.

Give the JIT dalvikvm a try. Let me know if you experience anything positive on our vogues.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Here's a post for the G1 that uses JIT.

So, does that mean we just need eclair based roms, or is there more to that?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Eh, I'd just wait for Froyo, for an official JIT system designed specifically for use with the native apps in Froyo as well. Running an unofficial JIT compiler with older apps may cause some problems/force closes.. who knows.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
Without JIT (multiple test runs):

~ 1.65 MFLOPS for first 15 mins or so after startup

~ 2.33 MFLOPS after 15 mins after startup

Time to enable JIT and possible problems with apps, etc. it may cause probably isn't worth it to me.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
You guys should check out this thread made by garringm from the Kaiser forum, if you wanna enable JIT. It should work, considering Kaiser users are using Vogue Android builds.

You'll need the Android SDK installed on your PC. Works with Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair and mssmison's CM 5.0.7 test 3. I ran linpack and got 3.3 MFLOPS.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] myn:
I find at least for our vogues, linpack is not the best thing to judge by. It more calculations based which in most cases doesn't judge load times and the agility of our applications.

As I mentioned, I've used jit on a number of Donut and Eclair roms and although linpack may report a higher score the user experience in the speed dept wasn't improved.

Infact I found app load times to be longer with a jit enabled dalvikvm.

Are you sure the linkpack score isn't acting as a placebo?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Shidell:
Part of the issue is using (an unofficial) JIT compiler on a system not truly designed for it.

Froyo's compiler (along with Froyo's system) are designed to work with and efficiently use the new compiler, which means the best performance (and user experience) is going to come with Froyo, not Eclair/Donut/Cupcake with an unofficial JIT compiler.

I think we should just be patient--Froyo will be out soon, and we will surely port it to the Vogue, which will answer all of our questions.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Yes, the load times of applications are longer. Especially when applications are already loading slowly, this certainly doesn't help.

Linpack is probably correct, as are the delays. I've played with emulators in the past, and I understand a bit about JIT. JIT is related to dynamic compilation, which a lot of emulators used in the past. Modern emulators like Dolphin uses JIT.

The idea is that instead of compiling data interpretively, it does it all in one shot, before the program executes. That way the program runs like it was made natively for the hardware. It would make sense that the applications have a delay in execution with JIT.

G1 owners don't have a problem with this since applications launch instantly on their phones. Running JIT for them makes no tangible difference. For us it's worse because we already have a 2-10 second delay to execute applications. This just makes it worse.

Another thing to consider is that many applications don't use MFLOPS, which is the FPU we don't have. Only 3D applications use that, and we don't use many of those. At least not yet. I'd like to try Quake 3 with it and see how it runs.
[Desire Themes and Apps] zoltar99:
Apologies if this has been discussed before, I have been researching this for a few days now and have tried every single method that has been advised but was unable to replace the hosts file from my Desire with a custom one. Seems the methods used for the Hero and other Android phones do not work on the Desire. Has anyone managed to replace the default 'hosts' file with a custom one?

My Desire IS rooted. I have tried the adb push method after deleting original file and remounting, I always get an error, something 'cannot allocate space' or similar. I have also tried using Root Explorer, again it says the file is too big. If I make the hosts file smaller by removing some data from it, it copies it, then the phone restarts itself and then when i check, the old hosts file is back (the original hosts file only has one entry for local host 127.0.0.1). I also tried editing the hosts file on the device using Root Explorer, I save, then the phone restarts and all the changes are lost. I seem to have tried all the possibilities and had no joy.

And before you ask, yes, I tried installing the AdFree app from the market, it doesn't seem to do anything, and sometimes it does restart my phone as well.

Any advice how to sort this out would be much appreciated.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Pyr0x64:
are you doing all this in recovery mode?
[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:
Hello,

i have created a patched Adfree app for Desire

Adree now loads the hosts-file to

/sdcard/etc/hosts

i have removed /system/etc/hosts

and symlinked to /sdcard/etc/hosts

after the first start klick on "revert" and then on "Update & Install Hosts"

after that you can edit the Hosts file in /sdcard/etc/hosts and it will be used by android system

all files attached

(start in recovery using recovery script,

after that run the install script - STEP1 inside,

reboot into System

run install Script - STEP2)

please tell me if it wont work for you

[Desire Themes and Apps] aslocum:
where is the problem? I have just pushed my custom hosts file to /system/etc in recovery and it works without any problems.

Just mount /system in the root recovery and push it...

my hosts is from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=664532
[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:
i had this error 2 times,

after pressing "revert" the error is gone

--edit--

seems to be a random error.

but after "revert" it works

@ aslocum

the problem is, that you cant update the file if the system is running. but if u symlink it, it is possible
[Desire Themes and Apps] aslocum:
How many times do you update the hosts file? The hosts from the thread I linked is really good and optimized. better the the adfree one.i do not need to update it till we get full write access...
[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:
you are right, it is not necessary to update the hosts-file all the time,

but i like it to add / replace the file even when im not near to a PC.

i thought it is a solution, and i want to share it with all the others.
[Desire Themes and Apps] aslocum:
No offense to you :) sometimes im also in the mood just to make something work and others wont understand why ;)

Hey kingchris,

Thanks for your efforts in creating the patched version. I have installed your apk, put the hosts file on the sdcard in /etc folder. Ran the app, clicked revert, it said Success, then Download and install Hosts, it went ok, now it says 'No need to update, your system already has the latest version. I click ok, but it doesn't seem to block any ads. Not sure what to do. Does the app have to be running in the background to work?

Trying to run the install script I got the following:

C:\adfreepatched>adb-windows.exe shell mount /system

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:

boot into recovery.

run recovery-windows.bat

run install-adfree-windows-step1.bat

reboot into your normal system

install-adfree-windows-step2.bat

then start adfree

if you get the Error Message try it again.

i think this is not an error created by the modification,

this is a problem on checking and downloading the hosts file

i made an error in the first script

in the script i wrote adb mount but it has to be adb shell mount
[Desire Themes and Apps] zoltar99:
Uninstalled the program, deleted the /etc/hosts from my sdcard and started all over. If i boot into recovery mode and I get to the green recovery screen, I can no longer type any commands from the terminal window. If I reboot into Android, I run the two install commands and here are the results:

pkg: /data/local/tmp/signed-Adfree_patched.apk

Success

The program is installed on my phone, it says Update found, i press ok, then click on Revert, all it does is it restarts my phone. Here, I went and replaced the 1KB hosts file from /sdcard/etc/ with the one in your folder, then when I clicked Revert, it said Success! Your hosts file has been restored. I then clicked Download & install hosts, and it said Success! your Android device should now be AdFree, however you might need to reboot to clear your cache. I rebooted the device. Ran AdFree again and it says your good to go! No need to update, your system already has the latest version.

So I guess it should now be working?

I installed a few 'free' apps from the market to see if I get the adds, and sure they are there.

For some reason, I still think it is using the /system/etc/hosts version instead of the version on the sdcard.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:
you have to open a second Command,if you are in the green recovery console

and run the step1.bat there

if you type after you have done all the steps

cd system

cd etc

ls -al *host*

you should see something like

lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 17 May 13 04:43 hosts -> /sdcard/etc/hosts

then its rights
[Desire Themes and Apps] zoltar99:
I got that, thanks, but please read the second part of my last message and tell me do you think that is ok? I have installed Adfree, it says it is up to date, but it is still not blocking ads, apparently.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:
sould be right now
[Desire Themes and Apps] zoltar99:
That's what I thought, but is there another way to tes apart from running apps that use adds? I tried by putting a few sites taken from the hosts file into the browser, and it opens all of them :( I have a customised hosts file on my pc as well, and it works like a charm.
[Desire Themes and Apps] kingchris:
then use your customized one. idk if the files from adfree uptodate. but i can say it will work
[Desire Themes and Apps] zoltar99:
Finally Adfree working

Thanks a lot man, seems to be working ok now, I have had so much trouble getting this to work, finally working.
