[Desire General] fblasot:
I'm using MissedCalls, both for SMS and Lost Call.

@pina_:

verify that (translated from italian menù...)

menù/setup/tone and display/blink notify has all the mark checked !
[Desire General] cnic:
I couldn't find "handcent" on the Market ...

But Missed Calls kicks asss, just what the typical Legend/Desire needs.

thanks fblasot!

Later edit: yeah .. Missed Calls does not work on my 2.1 Desire.. The notification LED still shuts down after 5 minutes ... Bummer
[Desire General] fblasot:
oh,

I was convinced that led was working well...

Yeasterday I tried with a lost call and after 5 minutes led stops blinking :mad:

But the option "repeat sound & vibration" after N minutes work, so at least some sort of notification is still available with missed call.

I read on the missed call application note that led notification is a problem of android 2.1...

Today I tried with an sms and led blinks for 10 minutes (with each 5 minutes sound and vibration still available...).
[Desire General] aljwatson69:
Sorry to drag up an old topic but I have a minor problem and didn't really want to start a new one for it.

When my Desire is charging is shows an orange LED to show that it isn't finished and a green one when it is. Lovely. Problem is, if I receive a text while it's charging, it then starts flashing blue to show me I have a message but after I have read or replied to it, the charging LED won't come back on. The phone is still charging but it doesn't light up.

Is this a common thing? I'm using Handcent by the way.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
+ 1 Handcent is awesome, Nice solid Blue LED when you get SMS and Calls also. Get it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noidea`:
omfg thank you so much. I'll try this as soon as I get home <33333

This is pretty geek-chic, I love it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] snip3rm00n:
Actually, I do have a question about it. Anyway to boot and use Deb without VNC?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mkhopper:
It sounds like it's an ARM compiled, headless Debian install running in the background, which is why you need VNC to access it, correct?

Is it network aware? How fast is it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chalan30:
no way...RAD!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
I have tried to install following instructions using terminal on he phone......seems like I get through the install.sh ok then after reboot try to run the bootdeb and it says not found.? also I get the vnc fails when trying to connect?

I am sure i am doing something wrong but not sure what.

any suggestions?:D

I forgot to say THANKS Jus!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
i get "bootdeb not found" when i know i copied it over.. i'm going to try again.

alright, copied the files again the same thing. i'm interested in this! it's just something else i can do my iphone friends can't lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nenn:
yes, if you have ssh running on it, im sure you could ssh into the system. the reason for vnc is to have a gui.

hurrah. this is pretty slick, if i had a larger sd card id do this :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drummingfool:
I get the same thing. I know its there, I checked.

Any ideas?

UPDATES / EDITS:

I also tried:

#su bootdeb

gave no output and seemed to go fine, but upon trying to connect through vnc, said vnc connection failed. So the I tried:

#./bootdeb

and got "permission denied". So THEN I tried:

#su ./bootdeb

And again seemed like everything was cool, but VNC still said connection failed. I've tried connecting using both LocalHost and 127.0.0.1, still nada.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
how come the graphics look so ****ty? i mean tp2 users can run ubuntu and it looks perfect. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Try to type

sh bootdeb

And make sure you

cd /sdcard/debian
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Same problem i had... You have to do

mkdir /data/local/mnt

and then cd /sdcard/debian and run it again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Also to everyone

Read the instructions again.. I added

how to use touch screen and how to fix the mounting problem
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
The graphics are also pretty nice.. I used 256 color for the first screen shot. If you use 24bit it cleans it up really nicely.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
I did everything per new instructions and all was good up to the sh bootdeb part, I get a readout of a bunch of crap then: chroot: cant execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory.

But i am closer than last time and getting anxious:D:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Do

adb shell

cd /sdcard/debian

sh installer.sh

sh bootdeb

cd /scripts/

sh onetime.sh

if it ask for password.. just type android
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
no /scripts/ file is being generated as far as i can tell. Is this supposed to be located in phone memory or sdcard?

after bootdeb command and getting "chroot: cant execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory"

cd /scripts/

"cant CD to /scripts/"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Ill look into the bin/bash.. I might of had to make another directory..

but the cd /scripts/ will only work if the debian runs.. its inside of the debian.img.. Thats why you can cd to it yet
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
LOL. How tired after how many beers? :D:eek:

Seriously though, thanks for the help. This will be awesome when its up and running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Try to type

sh bootdeb

let me know what it all says.. Also did you make the directory /data/local/mnt and then rerun the installer.sh?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
good up to bootdeb again: not found, then when i try to cd /scripts/ : cant cd to /scripts/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Type

sh bootdeb
[Hero CDMA Android Development] agentofboom:
I've redone the instructions to the t like 20 times now. made the /data/local/mnt and ran installer.sh

this is what i get at sh bootdeb:

Tell me if you see "mnt" inside of there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Also who is using apps2sd??

It will mess up the debian.. there is a tutorial to set up both to work, but try to turn of apps2sd before trying it.

Im using DarchDroid witch has a2sd off by default, and i never turned it on. I also am using ext4 partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
mnt

dmdata

....and thanks for the help!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
I am not using apps2sd, never liked it much........
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chadillac0000:
I am getting the same error-

chroot: can't execute '/bin/bash': No such file or directory

I am running Freshtoast 1.1 with A2SD and my SD is formatted ext3. Can you point me to the tutorial to get this working with A2SD? I really want to get this working but do not want to give up A2SD to do so.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
I would try to set up ext partition and use darchdroid. so your apps dont move to the sdcard.

You might have to have a ext partition for debian without app2sd set up..

Im reading up on it.. I dont get the error yall are.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
It might not work.. hold on reading more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
I am guessing this requires a partition? ext 3 ?

I have been running Darchdroid but without a partition.:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Try this

adb shell

cd /system/bin

ls

Tell me if you see bootdeb inside of the folder.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
partitioned my sdcard and transferring data back atm..... will do asap;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
the updated instructions work great for me.

darchdroid 2.5.1.2 no apps2sd
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
whoa.. haha they did?

So whats your setup other then the rom?

Do you have an ext partition.. Just not using apps2sd?

Im using the same rom and with ext4 partition.. Not using apps2sd
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
after repartitoning the sdcard and starting over had no problems!! thanks Jus!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Awesome

And say "jus" and then the number "10"

it equals "justin".. just for future reference.. lol

the o in my account name was for my last name.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
i have an ext partition. but i am not using apps2sd
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noidea`:
same :)

Thanks mate works perfectly.

It it looks like some people are not running the installer as su. iirc, I ran it as su. Not being able to move files is a lack of root. then ``su'', ``sh bootdeb'' after the installer.

Note: after running the installer, the first boot of the phone was incredibly laggy. Just another reboot and it'll be fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Glad you got it running.. You were the one that even got me to try it. Lol I read your post and then started to read up on it. When i started to get close I just had to figure it out. lol

For the people who still want to use Apps2sd then they can try this here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509943

I wont add it to the instructions till someone confirms that it works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Yea your not connecting to a computer or some other source.. Its all running locally on your phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] drummingfool:
What about just disabling a2sd on fresh toast 1.1... how hard would THAT be to do? Cant seem to find the instructions anywhere. Everything I can find are just .zip updated, but I would rather do it step-by-step by hand, considering none of the .zips are for the Hero specifically...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Iv read 100 and 1 post about disabling it.. I just cant remember. If i figure it out ill let you know. I know the new v2 fresh toast will have a newer a2sd that is simple to disable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beerock:
lemme know how it goes with the gentoo, wonder if ubuntu netbook remix could work.......anyway I figured out your name awhile ago, Justin O. :D I am just a lazy typest:p

I think this was a huge breakthrough for me with the adb commands......I think I am starting to understand the jibberish, for that many thanks to Jus10o!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Try doing this..

download the freshtoast again.. or open up the zip file from you sdcard or computer.

Navigate to /system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd

Delete all of the stuff from it.. Make a backup if this goes wrong lol

Then push the blank file back to your phone.

adb push 04apps2sd /system/etc/init.d/

Reboot your phone and then wipe ext partition. It wont move anything when you boot back up.

This is my best guess at not using apps2sd for freshtoast v1.1
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noidea`:
yea it is, except instead of just running it in the VM, you have run the server (like a vm) then connect to it via a client. its effective though.

Notes: the lower the quality setting you use in the vnc connection, the faster it is. (common sense, but not for those non-linux-savvy)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fixxxer2008:
id be more happy if we could port ubuntu to the hero like the tp2 users have, only improve on it. im not a fan of debian at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noidea`:
ubuntu is just debian with bloatware and a really nice GUI build in. You can make debian look just like ubuntu

To use icewm.. more simple looking desktop. Runs smoother

change this file by doing this on the phone..

First you need icewm

apt-get install icewm

Then to switch between ice and ldxe do this in terminal on your phone. This is actually easy do to using the trackball

localhost:/# nano /root/.vnc/xstartup

Scroll down to lxsession and delete it.. then type xterm

Save changes by pressing track ball once and the letter o.. Then press enter and then press the track ball once again and type the letter x.

Then connect using VNC.apk and it will load the new desktop.

Delete xterm and type lxsession to change back.

``su''

``sh bootdeb'' ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
ok i tryed installing this with no ext and it didnt work.

im trying it now with an ext4 no app2sd on DC2.0.8.1.

what is the ext for regarding actuly running debian?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Its only used to run debian.. I read up on it. I cant remember what the ext is actually there for. Just know its needed.

And if you disable apps2sd then make sure you clear ext partition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] superstudinor:
Get it to work with ubuntu and i'll jump on it immediately. Good Find!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noidea`:
I'm actually not using an ext partition and its working. I'm having a problem now though, and new that I've read this, I'm thinking that might be the reason.

I'll open a program (in lxde).. say ice browser or w/e. When I'm done, I'll close it then try and start another program. The cpu will spike for a sec, then go back down and the program doesnt open. I'm thinking that the ext partition is extra memory for this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Also make sure your memory setting are set low.. I run AutoKiller and usually have mine set around the middle.. When I run debian I set it really low.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bikcmp:

In essence, take this concept, and this concept, and merge them together into one.

I'd like to be able to choose to use my phone as a lenny boot, or as a android boot, but not as both at the same time. Splitting the resources in two, while running both just doesnt stabilize that well.

[General Topics] colerend:
Hi guys.

I've got an annoying issue with my beloved HTC Desire and I really hope someone can help me with this. Here's the situation...

When I had just received my Desire, I took some test-videos with it. "Testvid1" I'll call the first video I ever made. Seeing as how these videos were just to try the phone out, I soon deleted them.

Now... a while later, I made some new videos and the problem at hand is that the first new video I make, incorrectly receives the thumbnail from Testvid1. Small issue sure, but quite annoying.

I have tried numerous things to solve this, like deleting all files in /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails, or making a copy of the video on the phone only to conclude the copy also received the incorrect thumbnail. I've also deleted all videos on the phone and made new ones.

The last approach presented me with the same issue, where the "first" new video I make keep getting the same incorrect thumbnail, the one representing Testvid1.

So to me it feels like somewhere in the android OS filesystem, there is a thumbnail from my Testvid1, which for some reason did not get removed when I removed the video itself. Any time I would clear all videos and make a new "first" video, this video will get this thumbnail which doesn't seem to ever get removed.

I really would appreciate some help with this cus as small an issue as it may be, it's a very annoying one. Does anyone have any idea how to go about clearing the cache for the thumbnails, or where on the android OS the thumbnails are located? I've searched with ASTRO but haven't been able to find any hint of a directory containing thumbs, other than the /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/, which again I have already deleted several times.

As a small note, I got a response from a guy in another forum who said he had the same problem, and fixed it by deleting the directory /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media/cache but personally I don't even seem to have the folder /sdcard/android.

Also please forgive me for posting this in the general forum and not the HTC Desire forum, I do this because I feel like this is more related to the android OS than the phone itself.
