If you want flash, you could always use Skyfire. Flash surprisingly works within the web browser.

Im wondering where these are..if they are to be found anywhere on the phone or the net.. the one with the blue lake, and the orangy forest one? and how would i get them to show up under wallpapers.. instead of manually having to get the picture to fit using the box thing that you have to do if you select it from the gallery..

thanks.

After installing Froyo, my connection sucks, I keep going from 3G to Edge, and even though I went back to 2.1 my connection is much worse than prior to the Froyo upgrade.

I am going to try out some of the other radio images, do I need to wipe anything before I do so?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
No, you don't need to wipe... just flash the radio and you're good to go.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:

I have a lot of hopes for the whole cloud thing (push notifications?!) but this chrome thing can be done without Froyo or a cloud etc. I have oneliner scripts on my phone and computer to send clipboard contents back and forth between the two via ssh. Copy any text on the PC and click an icon and, bang, it's in my phone's clipboard. Copy some text on the phone and tap a gscript shortcut and, bang, it's in my computer's clipboard.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anstosa:
Not completely true. When you send a link to your phone with the extension, if you have text highlighted, it does copy it to your Android clipboard and like you said that's possible without the push server. However remember that the page/maps open automatically. It's not just sending a text link, it's sending an Android Intent. That is a very powerful tool that opens a lot of new possibilities for developers. Sending links back and forth is quite useful but it's really just a proof of concept.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailliw320:
I have a stock N1, updated to Froyo. So every now and then, ever since I got the phone, the screen just stops responding when waking it up. Sometimes, the screen doesn't turn on at all, but the soft buttons light up. And the only way I've found to fix the problem is to either restart the phone, or connect it to my USB.

Was wondering if it's a hardware or software issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
same thing happening to me aswell...seems to be only since Froyo flash. Really crappy when you are trying to show off the phone and you have to reboot first.:rolleyes: Im gonna mess around a bit tonight and see if I figure anything out...Im also not getting any trackball notifications...:confused: I think its software related, for now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailliw320:
I can say it's not Froyo since I've had this problem before the update, unfortunately. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshlusignan:
Ok some weird stuff going on for sure..

With CM 5.0.6 every couple days I would the keyboard would "uncalibrate", but the screen would never freeze up.

Since installing Froyo I am getting the freezing and unresponsive screen at least once a day.

Lets hope my it is not my screen getting worse. Ill have to flash back to CM 5.0.6 and see if I still get freezing.

Bye bye Froyo, see you in a couple days!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailliw320:
So...anyone else with this issue pre-Froyo? :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
ive never had my nexus freeze, then i flashed froyo and that day it froze for about a minute, now it has done the hard sleep thing and it does it more times per day each subsequent day.

I know that we have an early "test" version of froyo so this stuff isnt grave, but since there seem to be groups of people experiencing different issues, i also wonder if its possible that specific apps can cause problems unrelated to the app since they arent really ready for froyo...is that possible and does anyone know of apps to beware of? not so much apps that dont work but apps that cause other problems?

Edit: my phone is stock by the way
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
i used to have a lot of problems when i switched from landscape to portrait mode with the calibrations but since ive put on 2.2 that problem is long gone and i have no other issues...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbooth:
I had shocking touchscreen issues on 5.0.6, to the point where the phone was unusable and I had to reboot or pull the battery. Turning the screen off and on using power button would work occasionally but not always. Unfortunately I am still having the occasional problem on froyo. I had some mates trying to troubleshoot for me and took a few logs, the recurring error was (CM 5.0.6):

I/InputDevice( 117): Dropping bad point #1: newY=176 closestDy=3401 maxDy=2779

I haven't taken a log while on froyo
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailliw320:
Thanks for the input, fellas. Sounds like it's a more apparent issue in this test release of Froyo. I've had the issue since before flashing the update, with stock 2.1, but it's sounding like it's software related and nothing actually wrong with my phone. Guess I won't bother contacting HTC haha
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djteotancolis:
so i managed to root my g1....now when i install apps how do i know that its installing in the memory card and not the phone memory

2:what are the full advantages of rooting

3:anythin i should know since i did my rootin
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
1. Type in terminal

busybox df -h

and look in your /system/sd, if any of it used - then you're doing it right.

2. Tethering, apps2sd, Ram swap, overclocking, different roms, etc,

3. Search before asking, google is your friend, post in the right forum (which you did). You can figure out everything else else.

Good luck.

what do you get if you type

su

and which rom are on you?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djteotancolis:
it asks me if i want to allow or deny
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Allow it (and check the mark to always to it, you'll get sick of allowing it every time).

See if works

su
busybox df-h

This is weird though....this does not modify anything else... just gives you the output of your partitions.... works for me without su prompt.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Which rom did you flash once you rooted your phone? This will determine if you have busybox utility (which is helpfull)

OK.... here's another one

ls /system/sd/app
ls /data/app

That will give you a list of apps installed in each partition (/data/app is internal, /system/sd/app is external)

Doesn't quite give you the size or free space in each but gives you at least some idea of where your apps are going.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djteotancolis:
i flashed the generic rom from unlockr
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
So it may not have that utility... sorry I'm not about to look through that whole website just to find out. And it's not a big deal for most people anyway. I'm sure you will not be on that rom too long anyway :D .

thats ok actually i think i need to downgrade to 1.5 again cuz i'm not even able to instal other roms it just aborts
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RoastGecko:
I changed to WM 6.5 last night. I had the AT&T 6.1 rom before.

With both ROMs, my camera is just black. Doesn't show anything at all (not even darkly.

Any ideas? It's probably not software if it doesn't change when I update the ROM right?

I don't care for 6.5 much, so I'm going to try another 6.1 rom in a minute...

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ashasaur:
Your radio ROM is incorrect for whatever hardware/ROM revision you are using. Experiment around with different radios until you get one that allows your camera to work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Nice of you to search for the oldest problem out there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RoastGecko:
Thanks. Its been awhile since I played with a Windows Mobile phone, so I'm a little rusty. I forgot that some software stayed even when the OS was changed... geee... so simple ;)

Thanks for the advice. I'll just assume in the future that if I search and find nothing, that I must have used the wrong terms, and shouldn't bother asking in the future. Glad you saved me.

I did search. Now, when I searched "radio rom camera problem" (after the 1st response) I got tons of hits. When I searched "8925 camera is black only" I got nothing relevant. It's new to me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RoastGecko:
Well, oddly enough, I encountered a much more serious problem with the ROM I was using, so I went back to 6.1 (I don't like 6.5 for some reason)

After loading the AT&T 6.1 rom, the camera works...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ashasaur:
Thats because the ATT ROM has an included radio, which evidentally is one that works with your hardware revision and enables the camera.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RoastGecko:
Ok- So Radio rom can be flashed with or without the OS rom? Good to know.

The radio rom has to match the hardware? Or the OS?

I'd like to give the WM6.5 rom another try, if I can get everything to work ;)

Alot of the stuff I'm reading I'm remembering some of... it's been along time... lots of "oh yeah...!" moments... I want to be making my own roms in no time.. I guess I'm a few years late to the party... sad that they are killing Windows Mobile...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
A couple years late to the Kaiser party, but I still love my Kaiser and it my not be as flashy and my be a tick slower and may not have the spacious screen that the HD2 has, but with a custom rom and a little tweaking, it does everything An HD2 does, and I love my keyboard.

Windows Mobile isn't dead, it was just taking a long vacation while Steve and Bill and the others were playing the " fat cat " billionaire roles to the hilt while the company went down the toilet.

Hopefully Windows Phone 7 series is the start of a resurgence that will integrate Windows, Windows Mobile, Zune OS and XBox into a fully integrated powerhouse, before it is too late.

Maybe Apple overtaking them is exactly what they need.

It was also on the rom flashing tutorial

what's up Denco
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RoastGecko:
Being no stranger to flashing roms on any of the dozen WM devices I've had over the years, I didn't bother to read a tutorial.

The only reason I ran in here and asked, was I recieved the phone in the mail that day. I needed to know if I needed to send it back.

Now, I need to go get back to fixing my 8525 for the misses....
[Android Software Development] kadmos:
greetings

was referred to this forum from someone at androidcommunity.com regarding this...

i searched the forum but couldnt find any relevant posts - can anyone point me in the right direction for doing this properly?

specifically how could one set an image resource based on a string variable being used for part of the image's file name

i tried this based on a post i saw elsewhere:

myContext.getResources().getIdentifier(myStringVariable + "_thumbnail", "drawable", myContext.getPackageName()));

but it returnes a string(or an integer?) of numbers (the resource id?) that setImageResource couldnt use unless i just wasnt doing it properly.

is there perhaps a way to get the resource name based on that id number or whatever it is that im getting?

apreesh
[Android Software Development] kadmos:

dang
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
getIdentifier() returns int and yes, it could be used in setImageResource() method.

But why you want to set resources from strings?
[Android Software Development] kadmos:
because the image being set is based on user selection and is not just one image its several associated images so there is a number sequence to the image file names as well that i did not show in the snippet i posted.

but i went back and plugged some of those returned values (resources ids?) from getIdentifier() into setImageResource() and it does indeed work so thanks for that - i have an idea what i was doing wrong before but for the sake of moving on im using a different solution now - in short i am now defining each group of images as a separate class member int[] and i will probably use a switch case to plug the correct one into the gridview. its ugly, but i currently only have 11 different groups and no more than 16 images per group so it will work for now until i can study the resource object more and figure out a way to get counts of associated image resources based on a part of the resource name, like with a regular expression or something, because thats the next problem i will have to deal with if i am not pre-defining all of these arrays.

if you know of a way to do that that would be awesome but ill will probably look into it more myself once i get this app closed up and can go back and fix stuff. im pressed for time right now.

thanks
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
It's really bad thing to use getIdentifier() method, we should always use R class. I think your problem resides somewhere before, you try to do something, that you shouldn't :-)

How do you get these strings? You mentioned they are from user, but he doesn't write them by hand, right? If this is some selectable list, etc., they should be ints, enums, or some objects from the beginning. Not strings. Parsing strings is always ugly.

Ahh and if you have group of many small images, it is usually better to concatenate them into one big image - it's more efficient and you don't have to use 200 R constants in your code.
[Android Software Development] kadmos:
the string comes from the tag associated with a clickable imageView selected from the previous screen - a menu item if you will. the string will serve several purposes, retrieving related data, etc, but the first thing i needed to work out was retrieving the correct images and displaying them. i dont know how i could concatenate the images into one big image because each one needs to be clickable itself and handle certain events associated with itself.

i will go ahead and admit this is my first app so im basically figuring stuff out as i go. and learning most of my oop from flash has probably handicapped me :p

i appreciate your help dude
[Android Software Development] kadmos:
the only other thing i could think of trying was creating an xml doc to group the associated resource names together and figure out how to read from that to know which images to set

i dont see any methods in the R class i could use for sorting, grouping and then retrieving certain resources based on user interaction
[Android Software Development] kadmos:
switch cant eval string types...!?

:(
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
Nope :-)

As I said, strings aren't good for identifying things - regardless of the language used. This is why people created int constants and/or enums.

And no, I doubt there are some mechanisms of grouping resources, etc. It must be simple, you are trying to complicate everything :-)
[Android Software Development] AuxLV:
I have a strong feeling that you should change your app architecture and get rid of strings. But here quick general fix (not a good solution! but just works).

Map your strings to R ints:

Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
map.put("button_normal", R.drawable.button_normal);
map.put("button_pressed", R.drawable.button_pressed);
// etc

Accessing will be done:

map.get("button_" + state); // Return int id, use as you need.

This is a bad practice, but it will work. Consider re-archirecturing your app.

@Brut.all: do you have any plans on updating apktool with 2.2 support?
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
@kadmos

Full example:

public static enum Planet {
MERCURY(R.string.planet_mercury, R.drawable.planet_mercury),
VENUS(R.string.planet_venus, R.drawable.planet_venus),
EARTH(R.string.planet_earth, R.drawable.planet_earth),
MARS(R.string.planet_mars, R.drawable.planet_mars);

public final int nameResId;
public final int imageResId;

public static Planet findByNameResId(int nameResId) {
for (Planet p : values()) {
if (p.nameResId == nameResId) {
return p;
}
}
return null;
}

private Planet(int nameResId, int imageResId) {
this.nameResId = nameResId;
this.imageResId = imageResId;
}
}

You have enum of planets, each of them has its name and image. Then you could do something like:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
for (Planet planet : Planet.values()) {
menu.add(0, planet.nameResId, 0, planet.nameResId);
}
return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
Planet planet = Planet.findByNameResId(item.getItemId());
doSomethingWithPlanetImage(planet.imageResId);
return true;
}

You identifies planets by ints (nameResId in this example - of course it must be unique), not by strings. Operations on ints are several times faster, than on strings, this is why Google decided to identify all things: resources, menu items, etc. just by ints.

Ahh and no, writing switch-cases to do something depending on given object isn't true OOP. OOP is above: enums know, which drawable is connected to them, there is no need for switches.

Yeah, of course, I want to work on apktool this weekend. Unfortunately baksmali doesn't support Froyo yet, so I can't support it fully neither.
[Android Software Development] Steven__:
@Brut.all:

Ha, I recognise that example :p It's from the Java Trail/tutorial on enums isn't it? Except they used gravity rather than drawable references.

@kadmos:

Are all the images known from the beginning? In other words, is the user creating them at runtime or are you including them with your app? If they are included with your APK then normally, as Brut said, you should be able to use the identifiers directly.

Concatenating the images all into one isn't hard to do, as you can still draw the specific bitmaps out using the Bitmap.create(bitmapToGetAPartOutOf, ....) method. You can then make those individual bitmaps into ImageViews and only have to remember the 'grid reference' for where they came out of the big image. That said, you'd have to balance the added complexity of creating the big images against the ease of not having loads of R constants. I can't really say anymore because I'm not fully following what you're trying to achieve.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I took planets example, because it's good, but everything was written from scratch :-)

I'm pretty sure I saw this concatenating approach somewhere in official Android's guidelines for performance, but now I can't find it :-/ Also I don't have much experience in Android development, so if no one else suggest this approach, then I think kadmos could forget about it.
[Android Software Development] kadmos:
i know its not true oop i didnt want to have to do that but i have not yet seen a way to pass any value from a selected item into a method that could use that value to retrieve x amount of associated resources (images in this case).

using the planets example, say i had x (varying) amount of pics of each planet's surface in my drawables and wanted only those planet's pics to display in a grid view when a user selects whichever planet. thats really all this is. being new to this i just dont know the most efficient way to do it. if this was Flash i could just group all the images file names/paths in an external xml doc and use that to load them from whatever folder at runtime - i wouldnt need any of those 200 or so images declared as anything or even as assets in my library (and i would only need the xml because flash cant access a file system on its own to see and filter files that it would or wouldnt need based on, say, a string comparison - though there is third party software like Zinc that gives Flash that capability.)

so i did get this to work by passing a number as a tag (string) in a bundle though an imageView click event and then casting the string as an int to use in the switch - which as of now leads to one of 11 different int arrays of resources names (images) ive got declared in my ImageAdapter class to populate my gridView.

the way i wished i could made this work would have been to use a string (like a planet name) ,passed from whatever planet image/menu item/whatever was clicked, and use that string to compare and determine which and how many images in drawables were associated with that planet and then use that to create my gridView at runtime.
[Android Software Development] Steven__:
I see what you're saying, that makes sense. Just as a quick note though, if you're declaring your ImageViews programmatically, you don't have to use a string object for the tag. You can directly give the integer and then cast it back when you get the tag. Just remember to use (Integer) as the tag is actually just an unspecified object.

Yes, I can see why you'd want to do it this way. Your current problem is that if you add more images, you have to manually update your arrays. :mad: Unfortunately I can't think of a better, 'clean' way of doing it.
