[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perpetually.inquisitive:
Hi,

I have an interesting problem. I am in Dubai, where the ISP (Etisalat) provides Internet via Fiber-optic cables to my residence. They have this modem which I connect my wi-fi router to.

After connecting to my wi-fi router the usual way, I have to dial-in via a Broadband PPPoE connection, where I provide the ISP username and password. I have to do this every time I connect to the Internet.

Unfortunately, this means I cannot connect my Nexus One to the Internet :( This is because I am not aware of any app/functionality that enables PPPoE dialing on Android.

I had installed Connectify for Windows 7 that enabled me to share my authenticated Internet connection with other devices (and hence my N1). However, after FR83, this seems to have stopped working as well, for some reason. It is extremely difficult to connect to the shared Wifi created by Connectify, and even after connecting, I cannot browse the Internet.

I have already tried setting a static IP address for the N1, but this did not resolve the issue.

Can anybody offer guidance, ideas? Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

PI

Get a router, set the router to connect through PPPoE and every device that connects to the wireless router will work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perpetually.inquisitive:
Thanks, but I wouldn't want to spend more money...

Thanks, but I wouldn't want to spend more money on another router. I have a Wi-fi router already, but I don't know if it has the ability to connect via PPPoE. It's a 3COM 3CRWDR200A-75.

Will try and research if I can enable PPPoE via this somehow.

Cheers,

There you go.

Set your current router to connect through pppoe and you are ready.

Good luck.

I believe ur wifi "router" is only a wifi access point...

just download wifi pppoe
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
More accurately, it is a router that happens to have a wireless interface. Most home wireless routers usually have the functionality of a switch as well (that is, providing multiple connections to the same local network), but they usually include routing capability to move traffic from your local area network to the Internet.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] autonomous-inc:
Alright, so here I am, spending hours on the interwebz looking for a gameboy emulator with a gameshark installment, when I could just ask the community of PPC users (the same one I have) if anyone knows of such a beast.

So XDA, does anyone here on the Rhodium forum (as I said, considering that's the PPC I have) know of a gameboy emulator with the ability to use a gameshark emulator attached?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] judgefudge:
I know of actual emulators, but not with a gameshark attachment. The best is probably Morphgear, but you can use the Java player that comes with the TP2 as well. For that you'll need a gba to .jar converter found by searching google.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjz147:
The keyboard on the Droid X has been released and modded to work on an EVO, and some other 2.1 devices.

I think it is a great KB, and will use it over the HTC KB, I like the space between each keys, the speed, and the multi-touch.

The KB looks simple and is very easy to type on, in fact it finally has the biggest feature I want on an android KB, it corrects commonly misspelled words, but does not display them, or suggest them. This feature is cool but IMO, adds clutter to typing. For example, when typing "heklo" on the the keyboard, it auto corrects it to "hello" without displaying words or suggesting them like on the HTC and Stock Android KB.

Now, the purpose of the post. The only thing that Would make this KB perfect for me is to change the background color behind the keys to a grey color, I provided an image with something that I would like using Paint.

I have never developed for android and have no idea how to do it, but if someone who knows how to do it, could simply open up the code of the app, and just change the background from white to a grey, that would be awesome.

Many people would prefer it IMO, and it is a better typing experience because the colors are different and the keys are more noticeable, making it easier to type more accurately.

I provided a screen shot to show what I was talking about, and the original .APK of the Droid X KB.

Any help is appreciated.

If someone could point me in the right direction in finding it, I would be more than happy too. I'm looking through it now, if i figure it out......... I will make a black one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjz147:
Like I said I have no idea how to develop, but tried something out, maybe it can help you.

I use Astro (file explorer) and when I open it I click browse file.

click 5th option=res>drawable-land-hdpi>then down to keyboard_background.9

I copied that to my computer, edited the pic which was originally white, and then changed it to the grey I wanted, I then deleted the original file to the .APK and then copied the version I edited on their and tried to install it.

But when I went to install it, it says application can not be installed.

If someone could explain it to me, I know because I edited a key file in the app, It probobly won't work or install properly, but does the whole .apk have to be refinalized and ready to install with the change I made to install right?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
You might just need to resign the .apk.. not 100% sure though, never did it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mjz147:
How do you do that?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
Like I said I've never done it, but if I had to I would try this..

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toymullet:
Just got my mytouch slide today and am loving it. I came from g1 rooted and the slide is the **** except I was wondering how come my sync stays on so long I got a mail widget and it doesn't load all my email still syncing and also the internal memory is supposed to be 512mb I thought I only had 150 out of the box.. Is there anyway to clear up more space?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
there is a know issue with the tmobile servers and the tmobile sync.

Go into accounts and sync settings, and cancel the sync. Then press the tmobile sync in there and uncheck it so it doesn't sync anymore.

This will work until they fix it properly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toymullet:
Ok thx, how about my internal memory? Shouldn't it be more? Kinda running out already...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratchetrizzo:
with the way the phone currently is, it looks like /data (where user installable apps go) is fixed at 150MB.

It seems htc/tmobile fibbed a bit about how much installable ram we have. Technically we have 512MB but only 150 is allocated for us to install crap to.

doing a df at a shell shows /system is 245760K (245MB give or take) and /data is 148608K (148MB give or take).
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
I was working on changing the framework.apk and figure some others may want a transparent status bar as well..

Place the framework-res.apk on the root of your sd card

reboot into recovery

mount system and sdcard

adb shell

/system/bin/cat /sdcard/framework-res.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk

/system/bin/chmod 4777 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

exit

reboot

ENJOY!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] nyonya:
I can't seem to get adb shell to work - says my device is disconnected. I have the latest sdk installed. What could I be doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] pman219:
Complete NOOB question:

How do you mount system and sdcard while in recovery ?

TYIA
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] drieves1:
adb remount
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Gimpeh:
I can't wait for a transparent notification tab at the top. Bring on customizations!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
You need to be rooted with unrevoked reflash tool and reboot to recovery. Go to partitions menu

Mount system and mount sdcard.

Here is a pic of my personal one...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
Last screen shot did not upload right. See if this one does...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
Just curious -- what program are you using to edit the images? I can't seem to get the transparency right, so if there's any way you can give a few "steps for success" that'd be awesome.

No matter what I do, when I push my own modifications back to the phone, the transparency is either lost (i.e. opaque) or too much (i.e. 100% transparent).

Anyway - great work - hoping you can share the technique. (sorry if it's a bit of a graphics noob question!)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
Nevermind! Got it all figured out. Well, except for those .9 png's. Been trying like hell to turn to actual -items- in the notification pane transparent too, but no dice.

Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
The .9 s are easier if you zoom in. I use coreldraw. Gimp is a free one you can download but i don't remember if it did the transparency right. U can copy the transparency from mine and resize it too. Works well.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] D3vr04:

I tried replacing the files from your apk to mine with no luck. Can you double check?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
You have to re-sign it if you change it unless you use 7zip.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] craigmack:
I use 7zip. Those are the files you changed?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] corywf:
I tried just using those files also (with 7zip) and I just get a black background. Is there another file I'm missing?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Can anyone confirm this working on skyraider 2.0?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] deficitism:
So I made a flashable patch to get this ported to 2.2 (leak)

I'm having a small issue. The colors change just fine, however, it is not transparent at all. Yes, I'm certain the PNGs themselves are transparent, but once applied to the phone, zero transparency.

Is there something I'm missing? Is there a file I need to edit to 'allow' transparency on the device?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Coolsaber57:
Just FYI, at least on the motorola droid froyo, there is a hex edit in services.jar that you have to make. Look at Xeudoxus' xUltimate tool for more details.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] deficitism:
Thanks for the tip!

Anyone aware of the change you need to make in services.jar to enable transparency?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
So I've tried installing this twice now, each time after install the phone blanks after the HTC boot screen, chills for a few minutes, then reboots.

Followed the instructions, which didn't error or complain. I'm confident I've done something wrong, just not sure what.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ximfinity:
I think this may need to be updated for the new roms.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
Makes sense to me. I think someone got it going as part of a CM6 theme, so hopefully the standalone wont require too much effort/time.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
I'm still working on the status bar for 2.2 . I can also confirm it lacking transparency.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
Thanks for the confirmation.

Any way I can assist, or is it just an issue of finding the time to do it?

I can pull the framework-res.apk from CM6 if those files would help at all.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] in4nerd:
What exactly is..

So what exactly is turning transparent?

The notifications background?

Im looking to turn the actual status >> bar << transparent

I've tried to make the bar transparent but it was just black, then I realized it was probably in the xml somewhere but I never got around to tring to find it. This read on my mytouch

I now have an Evo n haven't got around to it yet but from what I've seem this thread was misleading but if anyone knows how it would be an awesome time saver
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] intenselyinsane:
Both are made transparent. Pull down bar and status bar. Use a light wallpaper to see it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] in4nerd:
i see...for 2.2?

which xml file is it?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] james_pnut:
Quick question. Maybe you make a zip file so we can push this for 2.2 for incredible or maybe a MM theme. Not so good with pushing with adb.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] networkmagician419:
Where is IHTFP69 at? The reason I ask is because Skyraider 3.3 has the transparency set just fine.. I have seen other posts on this issue, and I will search around, there has to be an answer for this... I made the blue theme you see in this pic, and I can tell you 2 things: 1. There is not a .png file to make the background, and 2. I was unable to change it to blue. I also would like to know how to change the color and transparency.. thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] smkd13:
Now I have been working on this for a bit now and got most everything done with the exception of some app icons. I can seem to find the ones for vibrate, silent, and then you have a usb cable hooked up to the compuer icons? Anyone have any luck with these?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jamgirl:
I'm a newbie to my Android phone, I am in the Caribbean so I have no access to the market on my phone, i had to trick it to get apps on it at first because it would not see the content of the SD card because i could not download the File Manager.

I noticed I could not play videos so after getting the file manager I decided to download a video player and hoped that would solve the problem, well all it does is play the audio of the movie and my screen remains dark and blank, what am i doing wrong guys? and if its the software that's the problem where can i download a good video player for free that will work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
I'm guessing you're unrooted, correct?

For the videos (which I assume you're playing off the sdcard) did they ever work? If they didn't it's going to be because they're using a codec your phone doesn't support (probably divx, xvid, although I doubt the avi container would show up in many video apps), so you'll need to convert them or find a player that does support them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Can you record video with your camera/camcorder app and then play them back?

If so then you can play video just fine and it's just a codec issue.

If not then it sounds like an app or rom issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jamgirl:
Yes Binary you are indeed correct, it was a codec issue, i can indeed play videos my camera records plus i downloaded an mp4 from online after i posted my complaint here and it played just fine on my MT3G, the problem was i converted the movies to play on my phone with

"Allok 3GP PSP MP4 iPod Video Converter"

but for some reason it seemed to mess up the mp4 format because it wont play on my phone but it plays back fine on my computeri even redid them in 3GP and my phone still didnt play them, I downloaded another converter and the movies are indeed playing just fine. thanks again for your speedy response
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
No problem and you're welcome. :)

I'll close the thread for now. If you need it opened again for whatever reason, send me a private message with a link to this thread and I'll open it up again for comments.

Is this true, if it is... someones gonna get a hurt real bad.

HTC HD3

I just got the HD2 and says it might be coming out in November.
[HD2 General] HackMimic:
if it is true we wont get it in the US till next year. That is how it has been historically form htc. ie touch pro , touch pro 2, diamond, diamond 2, HD(blackstone) and HD2 were all released in Europe/Asia first then the US gets a dumb down version in a sense. We in the US are just starting to get some video calling support where as asia and europe have had it for years.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
Actually, in this case... for HTC... our model of the HD2 is considerably upgraded compared to the EURO version.

But yes, historically... that was the FIRST time that an exception was made for the United States models.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Those are the same rumored specs from months ago. Windows Phone 7 doen not support that resolution, 1280x720 or whatever it is. These rumors are based off of someones "dream phone" specs that were made up. Someone then took them as fact and these specs have been showing up as the rumored HD3 since.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Unfortunately if true, this thing will be coming to Sprint since they are the only ones in the US with WiMAX

Hopefully a GSM/UMTS/HSPA+ version is released
[HD2 General] Androidious:
Yup it b true. Just check out the web.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
considerably? i hardly think double the rom (yes, thats the only difference) counts as "consideably"

add to that the radios that brick tmous phones but not euro, and id say the tmous is worse.

i certainly wouldn't swap my safe euro leo for a brickable tmous just for the extra rom. not a chance.

if i were a tmous user, id hate tmous for making the hd2 easier to brick and unable to take all the roms.
[HD2 General] angingrich:
If you go back to their source site, they list the processor as being, a "1.5 GB" snapdragon.

Doubt this is legitimate. Especially considering that MS is moving to WinMo 7, which means no more 6.5. WinMo 7 has pretty specific tech spec requirements.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no they don't, they say "1.5GHz", which we know already exists.

well, except MS say they're keeping winmo 6.x , it will become the corporate platform with winphone7 as the retail platform.
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
I think it's fake. Unless HTC comes out publicly to announce it, or there is further verifiable evidence.

~Jasecloud4
[HD2 General] speoples20:
As far as the specs of the phone not sure if its real or not. (Do we really want an even bigger screen? 4.5 :eek:) But we all knew WP7 was coming at the end of the year and they would have an awesome phone to launch it on. And with the rate that new "super phones" are coming out you just have to pick one and stay with it and not worry about what might be coming out in 5 months.
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
My eyes suck , I really like a bigger screen , 5.0 " would be nice.:D
[HD2 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
oh dam, didnt know these are coming out so soon!
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
hd, hd2, hd3, hd4, hd5...etc.

there is always new device with better features and more powerfull around the corner or coming soon. Before hd2, there was htc hd, right? lol and after hd3 there will be hd4..so lets not panick.. I knew about hd3 b4 the release of hd2 here in usa, I just hope hd3 will work on t-mobile 3g serivce when it comes out.
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
Man I just bought an HD2 this month :(
[HD2 General] speoples20:
What are you bummed about its doubtful that we will see the HD3 in the US till next year.
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
Yea but then I'll have to either wait another year till I can upgrade and get a full discount or fork over another $200-$300
[HD2 General] speoples20:
By now I would think everyone would be use to speed in which new phones come out. Its like with computers you are going to be spending a lot of money to stay on the bleeding edge of tech.
[HD2 General] vetvito:
I say its a fake. I doubt if HTC would launch a device with a new a OS called the HD3.

their choice of words on the site is horribly wrong as well. Its Windows Phone 7. The mobile version is dead. Windows embedded is what will continue along side Windows Phone 7.

Sent from my Hero CDMA using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[HD2 General] |Blitzkrieg|:
And if you DO choose to wait, the HD4 will be right around the corner, which means you can either upgrade then and have to wait a year after the HD5 comes out, or pay out for it!

By which time the HD6 will be out...

You see where this is going
[HD2 General] Gibbage:
I call BS. Lets look at the facts.

Bigger screen, much bigger battery, yet has the exact same weight and dimentions of the HD2? Hows that even possible? The screen is almost edge2edge at 4.3. Do you honestly think a 4.5 will fit on this thing? I hot about 1MM on each side!!!

Total BS. Just wont work in real life.
[HD2 General] nikmash232:
They gotta stop keeping windows mobile on this phone. Would love to see android on this phone especially if these specs are true.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
WinPhone 7 DOES NOT support the screen resolution that they say this phone is, so its impossible. Plus these were the same specs that were someones dream phone that people took as a true rumor and the rumors spread. These specs are complete bs.

[HD2 General] DeekoVB5:
No way. Clearly its just someone trying to come up with advanced-sounding specs. First and foremost - an 1800 mAh battery, with no increase in weight? Also, the physical size of the phone is exactly the same dimensions, but the screen is bigger? Have you seen how small the bezel is on the HD2?

Fake.
