i'm on sprint so dont think i can use an hd2

i think eventually someone will port wm

i dont need to have the latest device to feel like life is complete

and i can wait until then

or until all my app needs/wants/likes are met by android

is there a way to search available marketplace apps without an android phone?

I am curious. What is it that WM can do that Android can't? Besides charge a lot more for software.

I ask because I was a huge WM fan until Android.

My patience is wearing thin. This same topic appears like 10 times on the first page of every Evo 4G sub forum. Are we being trolled by Windows Mobile fanboys or what?

Short story: If you want Windows 3.1 on your supercomputer then get in Marty McFly's time machine and go back to 1985.
[EVO 4G General] eigerzoom:
thanks for the appbrain link

things are looking bright

= )

if you found a perfectly working wm rom and all the apps you ever wanted not available on android...you would be more like me and not accept less for more $$$...

a faster processor and bigger screen isn't going to get a job done without the software

i'm perfectly happy with my touch pro

i have next to nothing bad to say about it

with my 3000mah battery i'm sure it still competes with every device out there

but honestly i am seeing lots of apps filling the gap on appbrain

i may be android bound yet

we shall see

i apologize i did search

i came up with nothing

then i found ONE other thread about porting wm to android device

thanks for bearing with me though

it has proved useful now that i can actually search available apps for android

its easy to complain...haha

If you haven't seen the choices at the Android Market then I understand your concern. The reality is that I am a Windows server admin and use my phone for work, and I have found everything I need with Android.

I bet you will too and you get an OS that is light years ahead.

Hi, has anyone come across a 'vault' type app?

I am after a container type app that is password protected to keep files in - i am not after a database for passwords type app - on the pc i use truecrypt. I know how to hide files from media in android, but want a more secure solution as hiding files leaves them open to any file manager/explorer.

Suggestions?

Truecrypt is a great program.

Maybe some file compression apps have an encrypt feature, hmm...

you can try "APG":

This is only for files as such. But do not want the pain of loading and unloading file by file. The way how truecrypt encrypts the whole SD card would be awesome.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrowl:
I finally managed to root my Incredible (using the "click the sd card in and out" method), but now I've run in to an odd problem.

All of my customized ringtones, notification tones, and alarm tones no longer work. It's odd because if I fire up astro player and browse to them, they play just fine. However, they no longer play when I get a text message or a phone call, and they don't even show up in the list to select them anymore!

The only thing that I could guess is that it's a permission issue that may have been caused by the root or unrevoked recovery hack.

Does this look correct:

# ls -l /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
ls -l /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 422973 2010-05-24 11:23 Fifa_World_Cup_2010_Theme.mp3
----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 460172 2010-05-24 11:21 Mario_Bros_Theme.mp3

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?

EDIT: I've also tried moving the "ringtones" "notifications" and "alarms" folders to the root of the sdcard, but that didn't work either.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergeantash:
Guys,

I've had almost every HTC since the early days of the original XDA, I then migrated to a Blackberry Storm2 for a short while but now back in the HTC camp and the proud owner of a Desire.

I am with Vodafone and have many apps installed ('Stocks' and 'Footprints' for instance!) that I simply don't want, other than that I am fairly happy with the 1.9 rom that is standard from the provider.

I would love the 2.2 Rom but understand that when Google finally deploy it to our Vodafone Desires, we'll still be stuck with standard apps that I don't want installed and cannot uninstall.

What is the best option for me to get the baseline 2.2 OS and the ability to uninstall ANY app that I don't want? Please suggest a specific rom if appropriate, or is it possible for me to just 'root' a standard rom giving me the ability to uninstall apps?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tori007:
for u to have a 2.2 rom u will have to root ur device

for me this is the best guide

http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire/

and remember rooting voids warranty and its at ur own risk and back up ur device i use backup pro

or u can use smsbackup and restore and call history backup

contacts are already sync with google so just sign into google to get contacts back
[General Questions and Answers] kinglozzer:
Hi guys

Selling my HTC Touch2 on eBay, I hated it tbh. It was slow, kept freezing etc, so I'm gonna switch to Android.

I'm looking to spend about £180 - £200, though it can stretch as my birthday is in 6 days :D, so I'd say a maximum of £250 (less is better of course).

What phone do you think I should get? I'd love a Nexus One but I probably couldn't even get a used one for that price.

Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

I dont think so. 710 seems to be a safer bet. I ran 768 and if there was high load my phone would randomly reboot. Sure some users are reporting that it is running fine for them, but if it has problem for other users I would assume that 768 is on the high end.

710 vs 768 I dont see much of a difference.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Why in the world would you do this? Do you really need it running at 768 when you're sleeping? Wouldn't this just chew through batteries?

just scroll to the attachments of the first post.

The market app is there if you want to donate.

What's important for it to work is not the ROM, but if have an overclockable kernel (designated as [OC] usually), which is almost any I believe. Actually since SetCPU v2 you CAN use it for stock ROM and kernel too (but you have to adjust a setting after every reboot). Read about it in the link, it's the new beta feature called "perflock disabler."

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Hacre:
http://www.macworld.com/article/151912/2010/06/android_apps.html

It doesn't look like a new issue, first hit on Google for "missing apps in market".

It appears to be affected by the country you're browsing from. I have a user in the UK who can see things like Pure Calendar and Abduction World Attack just fine, however a user outside the UK cannot see them.

This appears to be new with the WWE OTA update, as the Taiwan based ROMs appear fine for the most part.

That said, we had a user on our Superhero build that downloaded and installed a paid app, he switched to VR11.9 and couldn't see it anymore. It remained missing after a downgrade back to Superhero.

What the hell Google..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pharrisee:
I asked this question in the VR 11.9.1 thread as well, but moved it here as itr seemed more like the right place.

Can you try searching the market for aldiko, there should be 2 version, paid and unpaid?

The paid one is also protected (installs to/data/app-private) and that is the one that doesn't show.

I'm seeing other paid apps in the market, but not paid/protected ones. e,g, Extended Controls is paid but not protected and I see that just fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Revoked:
Aldiko paid version doesnt show up
[Hero, G2 Touch General] filipharvey:
No, it would appear that normal paid apps are showing up, however protected apps are not.

I scanned the QR code for Aldiko Premium (protected) as a test (here) and it cannot be found in the market.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pluto:
The new Galaxy S's all have gyroscope .. fascinate has flash , epic has QWERTY

screw all that .. i would've wished an epic but well it's CDMA and i need a GSM version .. oh well .. Galaxy S it is :(

but i was wondering .. does the original Galaxy S has that gyroscope ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pluto:
"When you add in the 6 axis tilt control (gyroscope), the Galaxy S takes gaming to a whole new level. Now, let’s just hope we get some more compelling games on the Android Market."

that bla bla was on the link in the beginning of the thread .. so i believe all of the US S's have it

proof that Epic have it : http://www.androidcentral.com/gaming-sprint-epic-4g

now does the GSM version have it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
Anyone? Does the original Galaxy S that is available in Asia have a gyroscope/six-axis accelerometer built in?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aksd:
The EU and Asian Galaxy S doesn't seem to have a gyroscope. Its got a Bosch Sensortec SMB380 tri-axial accelerometer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
Isn't that the same as a Gyroscope (like the one in iPhone 4)? Because gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_4-3275.php says the following about the iPhone 4:

So does the tri-axial accelerometer in the Galaxy S function in the same way as the one in iPhone 4 or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
some phones say gyroscope but really use the compass in addition to the accerlerometer to get the extra axis.. not sure which we have here.. dont always trust advertisement.s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
No gyro. and acc. are two different devices. One measures angles while the other measure acceleration in different axis.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
as I know the accerlerometer in iphone 3GS can only perceive 2-axis (X, Y). The gyroscope added to iphone 4 make it 3-axis (X,Y,Z); it's equal to SGS's accerlerometer which can perceive 3-axis.

In my opinion, our SGS's accerlerometer will function equally to iphone 4's accerlerometer + gyros
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DEHiCKA:
iPhone4 has a 3-axis Accelerometer and 3-axis Gyro (STM L3G4200D) for precise 6-x axis movement.

SGS has only 3-axis Accelerometer as I know.

Without a Gyro you can read angle movements by a 3-axis magnetometer(compass) but with much less precision.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=720446

It seems that the i9000 has an accelerometer as well as a geo-magnetic 3 axis sensor.

Basically, every version of the galaxy S, including asian/euro ones, have 6 axis sensing capbilities

I just bought an Asian Desire (Taiwan version), and would like to change it to a European firmware, so I'd have the right keyboards with rights spelling mistakes for French, Dutch, German and English.

I downloaded the official European ROM: RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865

I tried to install it. It started well and went into the bootloader (I have version 0,8), but then I got "Error 130".

After looking around on forums, I thought it might not have worked, because I didn't make a Goldcard, so I made one, and tried again. But this time I got "Error 140".

Anybody has an idea of what the problem could be?
[Desire General] mintvilla:
well have you rooted your phone?
[Desire General] wingphil:
you don't need to root your phone to install RUUs, just the gold card.

It failed because you have a newer bootloader than the one in the rom you are trying to install. Try the WWE (World Wide English) version 1.21.405.2 - it has the languages you are after.
[Desire General] Shamankirua:
Thanks for the help! I'm downloading the WWE version, and will try to install it.

I'll get back to let you know if it worked or not ^^. I'm in China, with an awful connection, so it can take a little while :P.

Thanks! The WWE version works great, and has an AMAZING amount of languages! I couldn't get any happier, as I wasn't hoping to get this many languages! :D

hi all,

i found this rom in the mytouch 3G section and want to post it here because i can run it on my 32B so maybe this is working on g1 as they got the same hardware!!

What is working ?

- WiFi + Kernel 2.6.32 up and running.

- 3D Drivers

- JIT + JIT JSC enabled

- Multi-touch zoom on browser

What isnt working yet ?

- No boot animation, screen stays blank while booting but you can check it out using "adb logcat"

- Camera

- Gallery has missing mdpi graphics, I'll fix it later

[G1 Android Development] mblaster:
OK, I'll be the guinea pig on that one ;)

First impression: There IS a bootanimation... Fast boot, first boot took about as long as booting cm5.08 (at least it felt like that, no stop watch involved here).

- Wifi and BT Fail to load.

- IME defaults to some chinese

- feels rather zippy, never saw a rom change orientation so fast.

- sms and calls work (incoming call not tested yet)

- browser feels a good deal faster, 3G working, don't know if it uses hspa

- motion sensors don't seem to work for orientation switching (open keyboard does)

- linpack @ 3.7MFLOPS

- bootloops for me with cyanogens gapps...
