[Wildfire General] albert emmer:
bro, its not bout screen size but the screen resolution. for example, you use 320x240 pixel picture as wallpaper on your 640x480 pixel screen. so how bout the display? it will stretched out the picture to fit with the screen. then u will find out the blocky effect on your screen. haha...

of course the resolution does matters. some games or apps require high resolution to run on that phone.

honestly, i love all the features that wildfire have but the screen resolution get me a lil bit upset=)
[Wildfire General] stavro:
^^ no question about this. just wonder about your question about the benefits of 2.1 on this device, thats all bro ;-)
[Wildfire General] confrontation:
display quality is **** , but I am comparing it to my nexus one.

All other spec's I think are ok for a phone of this level but resolution could be a lot better.
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Small resolution but it is a cheap device.

I am quite satisfied however.
[Wildfire General] mondilv:
HTC's marketing managers must be discharged: 320x240 for 3.2'' display????:eek:

Even good colors is not the solution.

Can see the pixels from 1m, browsing - f..d & stupid game.

Screen MUST be VGA.

I'm very angry: they break my dream (present it to my wife).

When I unzip CM 5.08, I notice that all the files are dated 2/28/2008.. why? (the folder show the current date of 6/19/2010)
[HTC Aria General] KB Smoka:
Here is how to install 3rd party applications. I'm not going to go into detail for every step so a little more research may be required if you don't understand all the terms. Search around, it's how I learned.

1. Download and extract the Android SDK. Once it is extracted copy it to the root of your C drive and to make your life easier rename it to sdk. So in the end it should be C:\sdk.

2. Download and install HTC Sync.

3. After the install of HTC Sync is complete connect your phone to the computer and select the HTC Sync option for the connection type on your phone. It doesn't matter if it fails to connect or gives you any error. When I did it the phone told me it couldn't find HTC Sync on my PC but I just hit OK and moved on.

5. Copy whatever 3rd party apps you are looking to install to the tools folder. (C:\sdk\tools). DO NOT rename the files, I had problems after doing that.

6. Open up a command prompt on your PC (In windows it's start, run, cmd) and change to the tools directory.

cd\

cd sdk\tools

After you change to that directory the prompt should say: c:\sdk\tools.

7. Type adb devices to verify that your computer can see the phone. If everything is working you should get a response that looks something like this:

List of devices attached

HTxxxxxxxxx device

8. Once you verify that the computer and phone are connected type the following:

adb install nameofapp.apk (obviously changing the nameofapp part to whatever the file is named).

You should see it copy the app then install and at the end it will say successful. All done!

Feel free to add to this if I missed anything....

[HTC Aria General] shark0807:
Thanks KB for the update, an easy workaround that I don't mind performing at all. Now if only we can remove those pesky AT&T bloatware they slapped on it, and get a nice Root going, we'll be in business!
[HTC Aria General] thejrah:
Heck, I'd be willing to buy an extra Aria for someone around here if they could get a quick root/2.2 update going for this thing.

trying to install swype on my aria. please help

hello, please help with step 6. i dont know what i need to do. can some one please reply really quick. all i need is to do is install swype. how do i find swype anyways
[HTC Aria General] shark0807:
Step 6 may seem a little unwieldy, but here is a trick I learned.

1) Create a shortcut for CMD.exe on your desktop.

2) Right click the CMD.exe shortcut and go to Properties.

3) In the Start in: bar, type in the directory for the android SDK tools folder you put on your computer. For example, my start in address is:

"I:\HTC Hero\android-sdk-windows\tools"

Now everytime you open this CMD.exe shortcut, it will start in the correct folder to perform adb commands.

As far as Swype goes, you can get an e-mail for the installer through here.

I did run into a problem, since Swype will not install correctly because it needs to download and apply another .apk, which AT&T's blocks will not allow. Swype really isn't important enough to me to get it otherwise, as I'm happy installing the other apps I've been missing out on.

Hope that helps!
[HTC Aria General] ko0ky:
I'm sorry I can't be more technical, but I use an easier way to install 3rd party apps, even multiple installs at once. Everything above is the same except AFTER step 3.. go to http://de.codeplex.com/ and download droidexplorer, once you have it, connect your phone to the pc, execute droidexplorer (droid explorer can take up to 2 mins (or maybe longer) to load so be patient), select drop down menu tools either addons (-batch install) to install multiple apps.. or Manage Packages to install single app. There are lots of other functions using droidexplorer but I think most of them need the device to be root.

(it's been a while since I first installed droidexplorer, so I'm not 100% certain if I even needed the android sdk, but HTC SYNC is definitely needed, if someone wants to give it a shot without installing android sdk to verify, that would be great, let me know and I'll fix up this post.)

THIS HAS BEEN VERIFIED TO WORK ON THE STOCK ATT ARIA by myself, as I just purchased the aria on sunday and already installed over 30 apps.

hope this helps someone.. post any replies if you need help, I'll try to help in any way I can.
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
thanks for the instructions KB. Getting my aria soon and can't wait to ditch the iPhone :p
[HTC Aria General] hocplyr98:
Anyone know if/how you can delete the built in AT&T apps?
[HTC Aria General] apewall:
I'd suspect you would need root access and then you could simply use shell rm /system/app/attbull****.apk
[HTC Aria General] KB Smoka:
Yup....Same thing I did with my Incredible..
[HTC Aria General] Boneshark:
Ok, I got the Swype installer onto my phone, but then it stops me again. Thoughts?
[HTC Aria General] Boneshark:
To elaborate. did "install adb swype-installer.apk" Got the success message. Tried to run swype installer on my phone and it got blocked as a third party app.
[HTC Aria General] hocplyr98:
So, you can just use the Incredible root and it'll work for the Aria?
[HTC Aria General] shark0807:
No no, he was saying he was able to remove the Verizon bloatware from his Incredible after rooting the phone. DO NOT use the Incredible method for rooting on your Aria, as you will possibly brick your phone.
[HTC Aria General] KB Smoka:
Are you sure you have the right apk? If you got success it should already be installed. Check it by going to settings then language and keyboard. You should see Swype as an option.
[HTC Aria General] KB Smoka:
Thanks for clarifying....That could have ended badly.
[HTC Aria General] Boneshark:
yep did "adb install swype-installer.apk" Got the "success" - nothing there. The swype installer is now on my phone. Click on it, log in to it, click download - third party deny message.
[HTC Aria General] Boneshark:
Also there's no swype on my phone in the downloads, only the swype installer. I figured I might have to do the same thing for the swype installer and swype, but the file isn't there. What exactly does running "install swype-installer.apk" accomplish? I figured it would allow me to download the actual Swype program, and not just the installer.

Tried again in CMD "Install_failed_already_exists"
[HTC Aria General] saint168:
I tried this too. Apparently Swype-installer.apk is an Android program for you to download and install the REAL Swype software. I was able to install the swype-installer but the next step fail since it's trying to install Swype directly. Does any have the actual swype apk file? Do you know where I can find it?
[HTC Aria General] saint168:

Now I got Swype installed. It show up in the keyboard selection, I checked the checkbox to use Swype. I am able to run the tutorial of Swype. However, when I go back to any application that uses keyboard, I still got the old Android keyboard. Any idea?

It's working on my Aria now.
[HTC Aria General] c1fe:
go to a text field and do a long press, a selection window should pop up, choose "Input method" and then select swype

[HTC Aria General] Yoshiofthewire:

1) Is USB Debugging On on the phone?

2) Did you install the Sync software on your PC

3) try a different USB port. (Silly, but It happened to me, twice)

Bingo. Now I'm running into a separate problem. the name of my file is MLB.com At Bat 2010 v1.0.2.apk

and I get:

cant find 'v1.0.2.apk' to install

Help!
[HTC Aria General] Yoshiofthewire:
You need to rename it to something else, like MLB.com_At_Bat_2010_v1.0.2.apk

It has been posted that all one needs to do, is remove the sim card and download "blocked apps" by ATT directly through a wifi connection.

What does this multi - step process give you access to that removing the sim won't?

.....wait a minute....the bulb in my dim brain is starting to flicker......

3rd party....as in apps not available through the Android marketplace?

Hey KB,

Let me know if you get my PM. I sent you the link for the app, however my message is not showing in the sent messages folder. If you didn't get anything, let me know so I can try again.
[HTC Aria General] tiga2001:
You can't install via HTC Sync. That software is only to get drivers for the Aria. I believe after you install HTC Sync, you can get software onto your phone using DroidExplorer. My own Aria is rooted, but I believe you don't need root to use DroidExplorer to add files. You'll need root to modify system files, though.
[HTC Aria General] otherguy:
Thinkhope,

Are you still offering the MLB app? If so, PM me...

Thx.
[HTC Aria General] MendedEagle:
Okay so...this is my first post here. Been lurking around because I was trying to decide if I want the Aria. Now I have decided that I do and will be going to AT&T ASAP to get it. But I have a few questions (may seem noobish so please go easy on me) and I've searched as much as I can for an answer...and sorry for bumping an old thread.

Does one have to go through this entire process every time to install third-party apps? Copying the app to Tools, then going through command prompt, etc...or is there a different way in doing it after the first time?

And does the SD card have to be formatted like it does when you would root the phone or can this be done out-of-the-box and immediately?

Is installing thrid-party apps with this method easier/safer than rooting the phone?

Thank you.
[HTC Aria General] tiga2001:
Basically, that's the way to install third-party apps if you don't want to root your phone. The other way is to use DroidExplorer. I believe there are some instructions in this thread about that tool. If you root your phone, you can modify your settings.db to make it so that the phone allows the installation of 3rd-party apps.
[HTC Aria General] zeyoner:
I just flashed to the newest Liberated_Aria (beta) B004 and noticed I know am unable to install 3rd party apps. I remember when I rooted my phone and installed B003 that I also pushed a settings.txt file to my phone. I believe that file allowed me to install 3rd party apps. After I installed B004 and attempted to install Swype I received a message stating "Install Blocked" it then provides me with a button to enter the Applications settings where I can not find a option to allow the install. I'm wondering if anyone can link me to this settings.txt file. I'm not 100% show that's the name of the file.

Edit: attn1 helped me out! and the file name is settings.db

Also, enable installation of non-Market (untrusted) apps (sideloading):

•COMMON:

•Start the phone normally.

•Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)

•Leave the phone running - do not reboot to Clockwork.

•adb remount

•adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

Linux/OS X:

•echo "update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|sqlite3 settings.db

WINDOWS:

•echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

COMMON:

•adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

•Reboot phone and sideloading works. (thanks to fluffyarmada)

Worked like a charm!

[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Dont just generically do step 6. You have to cd to where ever the sdk/tools folder is on your computer. In my case I would type the following:

cd C:/Users/Jason/Documents/android-sdk-windows/tools

If you dont cd to the correct directory then your computer wont recognize adb
[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
nevermind! :D
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
i dont know how things work on Mac's but on a PC you need to set the PATH variable, and add the android tools directory. This way you can run the tools from any directory.

Back in the day this was a required step for setting up _any_ development environment.

Nowadays on windows - I'm pretty sure Visual Studio updates path's for you - and actually uses a Development command line shortcut that sets up all the environment variables for building - so you just launch that if you want a development command line.

[HTC Aria General] 911jason:
I had the same problem and unfortunately I didn't document what steps I took to resolve it. I think you need to run the Android SDK and look for either the SDK manager or some sort of module add-on option. Then you need to add the SDK tools that include ADB. For some reason it's no longer included in the general SDK download.

(I posted in your other thread too, but wanted to include this here for anyone else having the same problem.)

what am i missing? i'm probably just forgetting something else i did to mine last yr.

so you rooted her phone but left the stock aria rom on there? if you left the stock rom, there isn't an option to allow unknown sources. there is a program called droid explorer which works great for installing 3rd party apps on any rooted phone.
