root, and flash cyanogenmod 6 rom. then all your contacts, calander and apps will restore when you sign into google!

*gushes* boy how i love you google. how did i manage all those years with without you on winmo?

ps, check out titanium backup if you do not want to jump to a froyo rom. if you root it can backup practically everything and a ton still even if you do not root. there is a free and paid version. paid version is just faster and one click restores.

pss this shouldnt be in the development section, should be in q&a

Is there a way to save and then restore my call history, text messages, settings, and all that stuff after I flash another rom? I'm thinking of moving to super d to super e or complete eclair and i would like to keep that stuff.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gophergun:
There are a number of applications that do this, either seperately like SMS Backup And Restore for SMS alone, or applications like Titanium Backup and Backup For Root Users, which backup multiple things. However, it may also be worthwhile to try a Nandroid and then a no-wipe update, which will keep your settings, app data, etc.

So i've been trying to play a few ROMS in FpseCE on my JASJAR - but unfortunatley i've been having problems. When i open FpseCE, it prompts me to select a ROM, so i navigate to my ROM folder and select one, but then the program just closes to the today screen and nothing else. just quits.

I'm running a 64mb device, stock-standard except for the battery (3200mAh), Tomals 8.9, running FpseCE from 8GB SDHC card, (BIOS is SCHP1001) :confused: .

The ROMS i've tried are

-Oddworld, Abe's Oddysee :cool:

-Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 :cool:

I've tried to research the problem but unfortunatley have found little information. Anything remotley helpful would be greatly appreciated, cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] Daewoo:
I live in the sticks and the evdo on my phone is the only high speed internet connection available.

I have no trouble using the ICS to tether to a computer. What I want to do is tether and then share that connection with other computers on the network. When I go to network connections and right click on the windows mobile internet sharing device icon and go through and choose to share the connection with other computers on the network it tells me that the ip address required for internet connection sharing is already in use.

I am guessing that it needs 192.168.0.1 for the network internet connection sharing to work, and that the phone (touch pro) is assigning it to itself when I start ICS.

Anybody have any idea how to make this work?

Thanks

Hi to All and specifically to Singaporeans,

Do you live in Singapore and are quite peeved that you cant read straits times in your Windows Mobile handset?

Well this is the app for you. With UI similar to metro, it allows you to read full articles without the need to visit Straits Times' website on your phone.

Now with offline reading capabilities for your transit needs!

The app needs CF3.5 and is created with the help of the excellent sliderlist by Obelix_A

Current Features

- read full articles available from StraitsTimes.com Free

- view pictures and captions related to the articles

- change font size for articles

- offline syncing

- low-bandwidth mode (by displaying images only when articles are read)

- auto updater

Planned Features

- reading of articles from a specific date

- bookmarking articles

Known Bugs/Issues

- application is known to crash for Omnia2 and OmniaPro devices, upon a selection of a section

download fromhttp://appslah.com/stmobile.cab Version 0.694

i would appreciate feedback and feature-requests.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sian:
Your last picture posted here has a grammatical error - 'has been', not 'has be'.

Tried this app. Very smooth.. in fact, a bit too sensitive.. When i scrolled, I keep opened links accidentally.

A ligther background or something more 'relax' would be nice I think. This is a bit too 'dark' to my liking.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] shank1986:
hey bro, i tried looking hard, couldnt find the gramatical error.... i might be going blind :D

as for the over sensitivity, rest assured i would be passing the feedback to obelix, the creator of the slider control; which is used in this app. I have to give him credit for making this awesome control that cuts the development by almost half when designing the UI portion

Would take that as a feature request and put it into my tast list for the next few releases

once again thanks for not only using the app, but providing feedback for it too. There is no point in people just using app without telling us, the developers, what they really want to see. Its after all you the users who end up using it on a daily basis. So thank you! :D

on a side note, got a nice email from microsoft this morning

Hi

Just wonder - would you consider making this reads the other Singapore e-news intead of just ST? While it's nice to have one app for one news site, I really don't like the idea of filling my screen with few icons for different newspaper.

Just a thought. Of cos', it would have to be a different names then. Ha..

But this programme so far running very smoothly and scrolling is good too. Well done!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] shank1986:
hmm, it would increase the complexity of the app, introducing the possibilities of having more bugs. I would avoid that.

moreover i have done up the CNA app as well as the backend of Today app as well... just a matter of time before they become general release items as well :D

And I notice a 2 second lag when I scroll it way way up or down (till the icons are gone) before they appear again but meh, I could still live with it :cool:

Whenever I mount my N1 now (windows 7) I am getting that darstardly

"Would you like to Scan & Fix Removable drive f:?"

-Scan and Fix recommended.

-Continue without scanning.

Really starts so become painful after a while.

Can someone suggest a way to remove this message, apart from the obvious scan, which does not work.

Tried:

-Scan and Fix which does not work because Win7 reports the N1 as RAW format.

- Disabling Autoplay (no change)

- emptying recycle bin on PC with N1 mounted

- running Chkdsk :f /f from a admin window which fails too.

Mounting it to other PCs does not result in the message, implying nothing is genuinely wrong with the drive. I just need to convince my regular PC that this is the case. So far I cannot get the message across to it!!

I adb pushed some .apks from a Froyo zip onto my mytouch1.2 but they didnt work...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] str8arrow:
how to uninstall

I've tried a few methods.

The one I've found that works the best is this : mv <source> <destination> ...it's supposed to be a move command but it actually deletes files. rm also likely does the same (eg rm <filename.filetype OR foldername>)

BEFORE using these commands though, type in

adb shell <enter>

cd <foldername> <enter>

cd <foldername> <enter>....to get to folder (directory) of your choice

**TO get to app directory to uninstall apps, do cd system -->cd app -->mv appname.apk

I use the /sdcard as the destination for the mv command - I noticed the files NEVER get moved so this is just a delete command.

You could also delete a whole folder with this command. do cd system

mv app /sdcard

(this would delete the entire app folder/directory from the device).

That's pretty much it. Works for me. Was trial and error though - adb uninstall command ALWAYS resulted in 'failure ' or 'file not found' and the same with adb shell --> # uninstall appname.apk ---> 'failure'.

So I hope this works for you! Good luck .

str8arrow

NOTE: I've had an awful time because my stupid tablet has refused to download things from the market. It stalls in the initial 'starting download' bit and then just hangs, and then says 'download failed'. Apparently there's some problem with the sync'ing but I can't log into Gmail or GoogleTalk to try to resolve this (Gmail won't allow me to enter anything - left it on overnight and it said 'getting mail' / 'sync in progress' and the sync never completed after 12 hrs. The GoogleTalk app just displayed a black screen. So I am getting nowhere.

if anyone knows how to fix this pls let me know. I'm apparently not the only one. Others /various tablets have had similar issues - I have a 7" BPDN (Pandigital black novel).

Please, help!

str8arrow

adb shell <enter>

then

cd system

cd app

mv <filename.apk> <destination> (this should move the file BUT it never shows up in destination or elsewhere, so this is effectively a delete command, you could also do mv <foldername> <destination> to delete a whole folder.

**I usu. use /sdcard as my destination. so mv filename.apk /sdcard

OR

cd system

cd app

rm <filename.filetype> does the same sort of thing.

(eg adb shell <enter>

**I tried the uninstall commands listed but.. (adb uninstall-->'failure', or 'file not found' etc, adb shell --> uninstall --> same error).

Commands for removing apps.

I run as root on all my OS's, so I don't have to navigate to my sdk directory. I just type "adb devices", I don't know how your adb is setup, but get adb running and run these commands.

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/app/whatever.apk

Or whatever path you pushed the files to. Try running fix_permissions to make your apps run properly and stop FC issues

This is mainly a proof of concept rom i cooked up for good measure of root. thanx goes to maejrep for his help and testing.

this rom was just a dirty kang of the Nexus One update from google. for the most part its usable. meaning most things work. the down fall are the thing that dont.

What works:

- basic android

- JIT of course

- A2SD google style

- data

- phone

- hw3d

What doesnt work: :rolleyes:

- cameras < i believe that it may be possible to fix at least the main cam. will work on this first

- mms < send can be fixed i know for sure. will come in next build

- 4G DATA < maejrep was working on this a bit. still not sure how 4G works just yet. i will look into it

- tethering < at the moment, its no dice

It works :) If you can do without camera (and the other things), it's usable, and works great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
Really curious about how this performs... anyone done a linpack benchmark yet? Or Quadrant? Also, do the tethering features work?

Hell, if this runs just as good as it does with the N1 -- and all I'm sacrificing is the camera, and 4G (which is flaky here anyway) -- I might be running this on day one!

Any suggestions?

[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
Whoa.. Did you do both? Cause that would mean you don't have a reboot option :) The problem with the update script is it has both a reboot file, AND a line in the update script to symlink the reboot file. You should only need to fix one or the other for it to work. If you removed both the file and the line, you would have no 'reboot'.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gators0223:
Haha...good call.

I was just kinda anxious to try it out. Didn't quite think that one through. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
nbd, you can fix it in recovery pretty easily, if you need to. Just symlink reboot to toolbox.. go back to the custom recovery, then:

$ adb shell

# mount /system
# cd /system/bin/
# ln -s toolbox reboot

done.
