When you hold down the search sensor button you get in-app-wifi toggle, It's really hot, because if your online and you decide to turn on your wifi, no more going to home screen to use your power widget, you just hold down that button and it automatically toggles your wifi. Every day I'm learning something new about this beautiful phone. Also, they have fixed the issue with the 3D gallery, all the pictures load lighting quick and at the same time, wifi seems to be enhanced, and phone reception to, I was on the train earlier and I went into a tunnel and I was able to talk until I reached the station, which is a bit of a way underground. I'm using the prioritizer app, and I used to get reception like that on my G1 when I used it, people didn't believe me until I got a phone call in the subway one day, I heard a kid say who gets phone calls in the subway, lol, and whenever I pass one of those grates that lead to outside, text messages come through sometimes. Share your experiences with this incredible device. Screenshot taken with Android Commander 0.7.9.6:rolleyes:

Mine is set to always use voice search. Anyone know who to change this?
[Nexus One General] adambenjamin:
I use QuickDesk Beta with a Power Control Widget as well as some other nifty shortcuts. If you download it from the market, the next time long press search there will be and option for the QuickDesk.

If you want to change yours going to search you have to go to settings>application>search(or the program being opened) and undo the defaults for that program.

Is that a stock option, on-app wifi? Or is it a piece of a wifi toggle app, why don't i have it.
[Nexus One General] apratomo:
You actually need an app to do that, try search in the market 'In App Wifi Toogle'

it's by Oliver Pearmain
[Nexus One General] knightnz:
A few ROMs have this in as standard (it's pretty useful) but it's not a FroYo thing. It's not in the CM ROMs and possibly won't be.
[Nexus One General] aureliusmaximus:
Just downloaded the in-app wifi toggle from the market. What an extremely handy app!!!

(need to toggle 3g - Wifi a lot since the froyo radio...3g reception in house has worsened quite a bit)

Thanks for the info!
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:
My vote goes to QuickDesk Pro + Power widget as well... much more useful IMHO

[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Best thing to use on the search long press is Quick Settings.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.bwx.bequick

You can customize which settings appear on that list, it's awesome. I use it to toggle wifi, sound, brightness (including an auto-brightness toggle), auto-rotate, and a few more.

Play with the settings and configure it to exactly what you want and then every setting is one click away wherever you are.
[Nexus One General] blas4me:
A little help

Go into application setting, then manage applications, scroll until you find voice search, click on it and there should be a option to clear defaults, clear it. next time you use this function you'll be prompted to choose default action, just don't check the box and the prompt will always come up.:)
[Nexus One General] AndrewM56:
Sweet thanks for sharing this, awesome app
[Nexus One General] blas4me:
You can change your network type for improved reception, go to phone press *#*#4636#*#* and wait for the hidden testing area. Click on phone information, scroll down until you see your set network. Try them all to see which one gives you the best reception. Once you choose one it will reset your network so let it do its thing, your bars and 3G icon should reappear.
[Nexus One General] thepawn:
Er, not really...it may improve network selection, but it won't improve signal.

WCDMA preferred - Use 3G but when signal is weak prefer 3G over GSM.

GSM only - obvious.

WCDMA only - Use only 3G, has no signal then when only GSM present.

GSM auto PRL - Use 3G but when signal is weak, prefer GSM over 3G

All the CDMA/EvDO stuff does apply to our phones...its the same stuff for, but for those networks and GSM/CDMA auto is for combination phones... (ie - "world" phones from Verizon, etc)

Easiest way to improve Nexus One reception - hold it in your left hand.
[Nexus One General] bleedingblue:
Is there a way to configure this, because i only get voice search, which is sort of useless. I would rather have in app wifi.

Google with the FRF91 update. Why do you think updates kept coming out so quickly. Google has a ear to the ground, they put the Nexus out there as a test of Android OS, and they want feedback to improve it. It's all about feedback and improvement.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
You mean the update that came out weeks ago (91) which was a tweak on top of the single Froyo release before it (85)?

The 50/70/72/whatever were all beta testing and were never sent to users.
[Nexus One General] blas4me:
On the 6, from Whitlock to Hunts Point. Where I work in the financial district I'm on the phone in the subway on the platform. The prioritizer app is crazy, when it first came out I had it on my G1, and it gave me unlimited international and domestic calls for like 6 months. But once the dev updated it, it stopped, I just got so used to talking without limit I ran my minutes out in 2days. When it worked I hooked all my friends up. One friend, her moms lives in England so it really helped her out. I don't know what happened, I think the dev changed the script. I hit the dev up trying to get the original script, but he said he didn't change it, all I know is that once I updated the app, that was it, I read the script an it was different from the first.

But before I get flamed yes I have used the search and I have tried to bypass the alignment screen with the alignno.txt (or whatever it was called!) And I have reflashed to various roms including stock with no change to the problem.

Are you stuck in the align screen loop?

I had the same problem the other day and after a bit of searching found a little fix that worked.

When you get to the align screen screen, just turn your diamond so it's in landscape. Tap on all the crosses and it should work! Worked for me anyway!

yup, you can try Benko's 6.5.x roms or Makeveral's BsB rom.

I flashed HSPL3 on my HTC HD2. I heard it voids the warranty. Is that true? If so how do I unvoid it? I did a factory reset, will that unvoid it? A step by step guide would be appreciated, I have no experience with any of this. Help please!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
You really should post questions in the Q&A thread ...

First off you know if you uninstall HSPL you cannot install a custom ROM ..

Ok with that out of the way ..

Run HSPL3 again and select spl2.08 ... done

And just to add, I would not worry about "Voiding" the warranty , unless you have to send it back for some reason, not like the HTC police are gonna show up ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoL250:
So since moving to Froyo with both OTA builds I am happy to use Voice Dialer via my headset...

However I would be happier if I didn't get an error about Voice Dialer having to close unexpectedly.

Anybody else getting this issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoL250:
I hate to bump this, but this still happens.

To add to this issue, typically I can use my headset (now I use a BlueAnt T1) and press the MFB to start the process and can actually dial out, but can only do it once. Everytime after that, Voice Dialer FCs.

Am I missing something?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shararti:
Hello, i'm a web developer and have no experience in developing android roms. Anyways, i'm planning to develop a free website which will let any developer create an online kitchen for his rom, where users like me can come and bake rom according to their needs. Now as i don't have any experience with cooking roms, i would like a little help from the developers. Help i am seeking in is, what features a fully customizable kitchen has, how to change the update.zip for the changes, and adding applications to the zip. I have a little bit idea, but want a clear process.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
you will get flamed for this

This really is an admirable goal, but you're attempting to bite & chew WAY more than your mouth can handle!!!

You're a web developer, good.

You have no experience in developing android roms, bad.

You want to develop a free kitchen, good.

You have no experience with cooking roms, bad.

You want developers to help you in exchange for a free kitchen for their rom, bad & good.

You don't know how to update the "update.zip" file and re-sign it, bad.

You don't know how to add an APK to the above mentioned "update.zip" file and re-sign it, bad.

You have a little bit of an idea, but want a clearer process, bad.

All of the above noted BAD points, have been discussed, referenced, and linked on these forums countless times shararti.

You really need to search, read, search some more, and apply what you've learned.

I too am a Web Developer/Designer. I've been in the business of creating websites since 1999 (off & on). And the above mentioned project it something I WON'T EVEN DARE ATTEMPT.

Good luck!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shararti:
I did search, countless times, everywhere. But as lack of my experience with rom development, it was quite confusing. Well I do know signing and adding apk part, and the rest, i agree, i need some help. I'm willing to give my summer to this project and develop this kitchen for the xda community (i'm also willing to give it away to xda). Now if anyone is willing to help me, please pm me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APrinceAmongMen:
Actually, it isn't that difficult.

There are quite a few scripts and programs that you could simply employ on your website. I'm sure those developers wouldn't mind

You would have to tier your ROM baking based on the major ROM cores, and the features swappable between flavors of those cores.

It's simply letting the user choose what he wants in his base ROM, pushing the files into the zip, and running the script to sign them.

I'd be glad to guide you in the structure of ROMs, and showing you what can be mixed and matched.

PM me. We'll get started. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goonish:
Sounds like a very cool idea and I wish you all the best and hope you find some programmers willing to teach you about roms, and you can do the web coding and make your idea a reality.

I'd use it for sure, would be wicked. Imagine going to this web page on your N1 customizing a ROM, building it and then flashing it. All without going near a computer. Sounds unreal!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Perhaps, share the information here once you two have things worked out?!

XDA is such a huge resource, full of solutions, bricked devices and lost newbs LOL.

After trolling for a few months, I was ready to flash my first WinMo SmartPhone a few years ago. I haven't used a 'regular phone' ever since.

This would be an ideal summer project. As I said, I'm also a Web Developer.

Hit me up for some theme/template ideas. I do most of my work with Notepad++ and Adobe Fireworks CS4.

hhmm, never thought of that!

:)

You're right ... sounds unreal!

Something the iFans would never be able to attain.

Even better, how about, instead of flashing some large file, only the ones affected by an update are flashed, resulting in a much SMALLER file (thus saving on data usage) and a FASTER flashing (saying on battery life).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
Well it all depends on what you want. I would suggest you have a base rom without the boot.img stored with minimal capability in a folder. then allow the user to choose what type of kernel and capabilities they would like with it. That will be the minimum amount for a rom. Then you can follow it up with additions such as extra scripts and applications that can be added and moved to the appropriate directories. at the end, you would zip up the selection and sign it, with the appropriate update-script (which should be the same as the stock rom's unless the additions require something drastic)

So the folder tree should look something like this for one specific ROM:

ROM/ROM Core Files (this is the base rom without boot.img)

ROM/ROM Core Files/META-INF (this is for the update zip)

ROM/ROM Core Files/system (this is where the system apps go)

ROM/ROM Core Files/data (this is where certain apps go)
​

ROM/ROM Kernels (this is where kernels are/boot.img)

ROM/ROM Kernels/boot.img.1 etc​

ROM/Modifications (this is where apps and other mods go)

ROM/Custom Build (this is where the baked rom should go)

Then all you need to figure out is how to move everything to the custom build directory

Move the core to custom directory and a boot.img (rename it from whatever it is to boot.img) and then move and modifications to the appropriate directory inside the custom build folder. Then zip the custom build folder and sign it

That should be about right. its 3 am here lol so i may be missing something. pm me if you need more help or post here
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APrinceAmongMen:
Exactly.

The great thing about it. The ROM core files can be optional. You can bake a kernel or you can bake CM w/ custom kernel and custom mods, i.e. modded phone.apk. You can bake anything and everything.

Mmm baking never sounded so good.

My small contribution to this project

The basic kitchen:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

Sorry it's not a link, apperantly new users cannot post links :eek:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shararti:
Ok so after reading it 3 times carefully, this is what i got to:

All roms have same common files, which are:

1. the META-INF folder.

2. the system folder.

3. the data folder.

This is a basic skeleton of any rom, and every rom has these exact files.

Now what i have to do is, when a user cooks a rom, i have to pick the required boot.img and put it into the basic skeleton, in addition to any apps/modifications user want. Then zip the whole package and sign it.

Is that it?

PS: you also said that i may need to change update-script, in what cases that would be required?

PPS: Do i have to make changes to some other files too? cause it sounds too easy to be true =p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
They usually have the same folders, not files :P

the META-INF has the signature files but most importantly the update-script which tells the phone what to do when your flashing the update.

that SHOULD be it but remember that you may have to remove some apps from the core files of the rom such as amazon mp3 that people may not want, so you will have to see what apps can be removed and decide whether you want users to be able to remove it or not.

You MAY have to change the update-script if for example you want to put some things in the data partition and symlink them or change the data partition to include the ext partition instead of just for apps. Changes like that are usually for ROMs that are too big to fit properly on the nexus ( youll also have to check the size of the system and data folders to make sure they fit on the phone without modification)

Most of this stuff will be figured out in testing haha but ya at the very basicee its what you have here. You really have to know what you actually want users to be able to cook and then build the kitchen to that effect
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shararti:
So does that mean i can use same core for all custom baked roms? Except for the update-script, which in rare cases, may need to be altered.

I took a look at system folder and it's quite populated. Can you tell me what are the basic files that are common for all roms? For the rest of the files, i guess i'll give the user choice to include them or not.

Also can you tell me what is zipalign? Will that be required in baking process?

And to let everyone know, I have already started the working on the kitchen =]
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
Well it really depends on what ROM's your looking at. Some devs change the apps to their liking. For example, CyanogenMod has a modified Settings.apk that has features specific to his rom. However, all ROMs have Settings.apk. As such, you will probably have to have a Core ROM folder for each specific rom.

I would suggest looking at other online kitchens and see what features they offer, come up with a specific feature set and then decide what direction that you want to take.

zipalign is a compression technique that optimizes how .apk files are accessed in android. it makes things faster and is not required but would be nice to have. you lose the benefits if you open and modify any files from a zipaligned apk
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APrinceAmongMen:
Let's clear some things up here.

First, core files are not interchangeable between main roms but only flavors of those main roms.

As of now, we have 3 main roms for the nexus one.

CyanogenMod, Modaco Custom ROM, and Desire/Sense Roms.

Each of these roms have their own unique cores amd features and are not interchangeable.

There are flavors of each of these roms.

Flavors of CM has parts that are interchangeable with other flavors but use Cyans core.

Say there is one CM flavor that has some themieing and a few other changes you don't want. You can take the themed files and put them into your CM base and leave the rest out.

You can't put that themeing into a Modaco Custom ROM though.

Kernels I believe are the only things can be put into any ROM base. Most apps are as well.

Now that I look at it. Doing a Nexus One kitchen isn't that difficult but making a full featured HTC kitchen would be a mountainous task. There are so many mods, roms and themes to keep track of. We'd have to designate people from each device forum to feed us the ROMs and parts that are active and functional.

P. S. Lectures are over at 7 today. ill be able to crack down on it with you then

QUESTION: how do i change the radio and boot animations in a rom?

PS: the good news is, i'm done with all the hard part, and just few small things remaining. Probably if anything else doesn't comes up, you guys should have a n1 kitchen within few days =D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
boot animations are located either in /data/local or /system/media

radio flash will require you to change the update-script

you can look at the FRF50 update with the radio to figure it out ( or pm me if thats too difficult, its a little late else id do it myself)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APrinceAmongMen:
Just make sure the radio is excluded by default.

Another thing about radios, the newest radio usually works on older roms, but old radios don't work on the roms released with and after the newest radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shararti:
Ok the radio thing sounds difficult, i think i'll work on this after the release.

Another question, what happens if i put 2 apk files of the same app in the rom?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If they are named the same they will be replaced. You should implement a check to make sure that doesnt happen without throwing up a flag. Make sure they are the same name at the very least.
