for me, the nexus one is still superior to the desire.

only the ability to unlock the bootloader on the nexus beats all the advantages of the desire ( if it has any).

Seriously, i believe sense is a more polished UI but some are so useless. Examples are the messages and mail widgets. who actually reads sms and mails by swyping to the screens for the corresponding widgets . or do you actually click on the respective icon on the homescreen.

The extra ram on the desire shouldnt be taken into consideration as the bloated sense accounts for that.

For some of you who say that custom 2.2 will be there for desire before htc. well i kinda agree but i am also sure that most of them would be full of bugs. having the kernel source doesnt necessarily mean that porting the froyo would be a piece of cake!

and that too only if a stable root is achieved. Cause if things stays like how it is, i am sure that most of us will end up with the USB/SD..... brick problem. This is just a question of time.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Yes.

The G1 and the Magic got upgrades to 1. 6, and the Droid Eris and Sprint Hero upgrades to 2. 1 (with the GSM Hero coming June).

[Desire General] gogol:
What's the use of this unlocked bootloader for most / average users?

Why is it a big deal for you?

About 2.2, I like the ability to run apps from SD Card ... Flash 10.1 is a nice bonus if the hardware acceleration works.

Hi

I have a problem using my sony ericsson xperia x10. When i call a number it simply sais that the phone call is shutting down. How to fix this problem, btw the phone is 2 days old!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonecold-DTV:
I been searching for threads but cant seem to find anyone with the same problem.

running stock 1.5 and wanted to use the auto rooter in fresh kitchen I disabled htc sync like it asked it pass the test on the help screen except powershell and sendkeys but that said it was ok. but the phone status never updates it just stuck there so I cant root I can do anything and it a real pain in the butt trying to find anything to figure out what going on. Why isnt the phone picking up in fresh kitchen ?

Any suggestions or help would be appericated.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmoch2:
Make sure that you have the drivers from HTC Sync on your PC and also make sure that usb debugging is turned on.

Not sure if that will help, but I just used fresh kitchen to root a friends phone and it worked perfect.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stonecold-DTV:
htc sync installed and debugging on , the pretest on the help page seems to pass and says that it sees a valid adb device, other programs can see the phone and access it with out trouble. Not sure what exactly is going on might be I am in a virtual pc enviroment and attached the andriod phone device in the virtual pc enviroment I just flashed a friends to 2.1 offical did not have a problem with it but I am just not sure about what to do now.
[HD2 General] mobi:
Hello All,

I'm with TMOUS and obviously have the HD2 and I'm going to be roaming in the UK & Spain in the near future so first off, I'm wondering what is the quickest and easiest way to disable the data on the phone. My plan is to either switch the data on infrequently or only when on a wifi connection.

Next, has anyone got any advice on any TMOUS product for roaming? Pre-Paid data or something like that? Anyone from the UK tell me if there is anything like a pay as you go phone/data plan available in the UK that would be more cost effective?

Same thing goes for Spain or would the same UK pay as you go sim be cheaper than US roaming?

Thanks all in advance for any pointers.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
if you want to use the UK prepaid phone service, you would need to unlock your phone if you haven't already so you can use another cellphone provider's sim card. Im not sure how to completely disable the data connection other than tapping on the top menu bar, tapping on the phone signal bar, then going to the bottom and tapping on the data connection to toggle it on and off.
[HD2 General] PGMMA:
I just got back from France and the UK and the phone (stock ROM) never once connected to data unless I responded yes to the roaming warning. When I did agree I was however surprised that it was able to connect to 3G when T-Mobile USA said that it cannot.

[G1 Android Development] ryanswj:
OK so maybe my post isn't for the G1 but I had to post this somewhere in a high-volume area so someone would look at it.

I'm trying to actually port HTC Sense to the Samsung Galaxy Spica (i5700). I have a HTC Hero System dump to play with.

I have gone so far as to manage to be able to see HTC Sense as one of the options when I press the home button. On clicking HTC Sense, i see a black background with the HTC word. Then, force close.

Any other HTC app would force close. I have made sure that i have the com.htc.framework.jar in my system/framework and the permissions.xml file.

Could a dev or someone be so kind as to tell me what I am missing?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you are missing the reason for the FC, it will be in the logcat
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
sounds to me like you're trying to push HTC's framework components and Rosie to your stock android rom. It won't work. The htc framework has other dependencies on changes that they made to the stock framework, so, at the very least, I think you also need htc's framework and core jars. Those also depend on some libs. Your best bet is to port the whole thing and drop your base build completely. Then you only have to replace about less than 10-15 hardware-related files.

I guess a teardown to examine which parts are really necessary would be helpful. We could eventually see which classes we actually need to get sense running over stock android and use smali to pull those and push them to our stock builds.

Anybody feel like wasting that much time?

idk if the galaxy spica has a dedicated call button, but see if phone launches when you push it.

Also, what happens when you choose home?

and, are you dealing with 1.5 or 2.1?
[G1 Android Development] ryanswj:
Hi, Galaxy Spica does have a dedicated call key and the stock android dialer launches when I open it.

Dealing with 2.1 here :)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
ok bro, obviously you're pushing frameworks/apks on top of stock galaxy rom... not gonna work. If that phone supports roms, then make a dedicated hero, not a hybrid, cuz those don't work.
[G1 Android Development] ryanswj:
So basically start the phone in recovery mode and zip everything up then apply the zip?
[G1 Android Development] wcdisciple:
Aaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddd cut! That's a wrap! :p
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
not really.... you have to have at least:

galaxy kernel that deals with moved directories (idk how much space the galaxy has internal, it might fit without moving app or something)

ALL files have to be from a sense device. pretty much.

-libs and kos and extra apps and keyboard layout (in etc) are exceptions.

And you need an update script, and a data folder with extra apps, etc.

Have fun, good luck!

i've been trying to find info on doing this for weeks and havent found anything so now i'm posting,

when you go into messaging or people tabs and tap to see all everything has a grey background, and same in some settings menus. i would like to see about editing this to make my rom the way i would like it...

is there any way to change this to, for example, black and change the text colour to white and so on?

i've had a look at the packages and can't figure out what i need to do to change this.

is it possible or just a pipe dream of mine...

I have a bunch of audio books I keep in /sdram/abooks and use MortPlayer which can be configured to use any particular directory.

Problem is the music player now lists my audio books. I want the music player to just list my music files (i.e. what I put in /sdram/mp3). I can't seem to find any way to do that?

Is there an alternative app that will do that? (will have to be in the free section of Market as the powers that be prevent us non-americans from searching through paid apps, go figure).

extract the attached file on your pc, then copy the .nomedia file inside the folder to those folders that you don't wish to have them show in either Photo or Music Player...

Hope this helps,

[Desire Themes and Apps] madsere:
Thanks for the suggestion. Creating an empty .nomedia file in a directory seems to stop the media player from looking into this directory for media files. It isn't the best way to do it though, imagine you have to go through this process every time you install software that creates a directory on the sdram card. I can't understand the developers of the media player didn't at least make it an option to limit the search for media to certain directories.

I added the .nomedia file into the desired directories but the unwanted songs are still visible in the native HTC music player.

Is there a way to refresh the track list somehow?

[Desire Themes and Apps] ferus:
I solved his by connecting the Desire to PC via mass storage and disconnecting again. The SD card got "refreshed" this way :-)

MortPlayer Music (free on Astroid Marked) lets you define a directory for music files.

Ok, I'm not a total noob. I've been trying to return to 1.5 as cleanly as possible, but now I'm having an error when trying to remount my phone.

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

This is what I did:

Flashed the 1.5 RUU that Flipz has had out for months. No errors

Ran the Avalaunch PRI fix to get rid of the flipz_01 PRI name

updated my profile

updated my PRL (which is now 65000??)

rooted through the normal sequence without error, I can boot to the recovery just fine, but when I adb shell into the phone I end up at $ instead of #. I have to su to get to # and at the c:\windows-sdk-windows\tools\adb remount fails with "remount failed: operation not permitted"

Is it possible that the PRI update has foiled the root exploit? I even restored a nand backup that I know had a working root and I still have the same results. This is too weird.

Anyone else have this issue? I searched the forum but I came up empty.

Yeah the wording got me. I was hoping it was as simple as that for you tho. Defiantly Strange. Believe me I've had plenty of those moments where hours would have been saved if someone could have just said "no your just doing it wrong".

Maybe try rerunning the RUU and start from scratch the PRI fix should hold thru the RUU but if it did affect something else running the RUU again may correct it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nextelian:
I RUU'd about 4 times so far on two different laptops, one with XP and one with Win7, running both versions of the HTC Sync drivers.

Something is definitely different. I'm thinking of doing the PRI fix again to see if that helps. The PRL being 65000 instead of the normal 60664 is another anomaly I'm curious about.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagle128:

root commands: Permission denied

Dear Sirs,

I have been through this thread and tried everything but I have the same issue as the previous gentlemen.

I have HTC Desire Z with CM 7.0.3.

When I boot the phone normally and "adb shell", I can get a root prompt (id command shows root user, "cd" shows "/"). But ANY command I run brings permission denied (even ls, chmod and pwd). I literally can't do anything. Same whether I boot with/without S D card. I CAN however issue commands such as "adb pull /init.rc" if I exit and go back to DOS.

However if I boot into clockworkmod recovery and mount /data and /system, and then open an adb shell via USB, I can connect as root and browse everything, everything is fine and all commands work OK. /etc/fstab shows all partitions would be mounted as rw.

So it looks like some application during boot, is resetting the permission for /system to be ro, and also removing root's privileges.

Please could you let us know if there is a method to determine what app is doing this during boot. I cannot see anywhere in init.rc where I can catch this application that is doing this and prevent it from making /system inaccessible after boot.

Preferably if someone could point me to the complete log of the boot process that shows each command that is run, I might have a clue as to where in the boot up process, the /system partition suddenly becomes ro and root loses all permissions.

I suspect the other users in the forum may have a similar problem.

I have attached a copy of my init.rc that was adb pulled after full boot.

Thanks
