[HD2 General] shaolin85:
Hello everyone,

most of us are still waiting for the perfect completion of android / Linux Project for our HD2s.

the main reason for me is flash player support, since we have been abandoned and left behind with our HD2 Devices. the android project came in the rescue.

despite the fact that all android builds out there still a work in progress, however, with a refined copy of HTC Desire rom with wifi support, i have managed to use flash 10.1 on my HD2 and it was fairly smooth.

settings i have used to achieve this:

1* i used HTC Sense (HTC Desire base rom) v2.5 (11-July-2010)

2* follow guide to have flash flayer 10.1 on android 2.1.

I've already tried the same process with the smooth Nexus One build , but for some reason i don't know, i did not work. so i tried the HTC Desire build and worked like a charm for me.

I just wanted to share my experience regarding flash 10.1 on HD2.

that's all.

regards.
[HD2 General] fracmo2000:
awesomeawesomeawesome :D

Once they get a build with mic...im gonna try this :D

thanks for testing and lettings us know!
[HD2 General] ascrackoo1:
internet?

How did you get wifi/3g working on your hd2 in android?
[HD2 General] shaolin85:
currently there are builds that support wifi ,gsm, bluetooth...etc but alot has to be done. check third post of android project thread. or see the urls in my first post in this topic.
[Android Software Development] balaji.admin:
I use WinMo 6.5 and my own ROM having Sense 2.5

I'm dependent on the following feature.

Enter the "Date of Birth" and / or "Anniversary" dates to contacts. Save the contacts and Sync it with Windows using ActiveSync or WMDC. This automatically creates birthday / anniversary events in Calendar. This helps me a lot.

Is this auto event generation there in Android?

Any info on this might help me to migrate to Android.
[Android Software Development] halfsoul:
I think so, but I've never used it. Go to Google Calendar (on computer), under "Other calendars": Add -> Browse Interesting Calendars -> More -> Contacts' birthdays and events

(I think this requires your contacts to be in Google's Cloud)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
anyone else having major keyboard lag, I have smart keyboard pro and this can get so laggy to the point its un-usable, i switch back to samsung keyboard and this is generally quicker but there is still lag, i am typing away but phone is a few words behind.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cheetah2k:
IMO, the keyboard and dialer are slow compared to my Nexus One.

Not sure why, maybe its because Samsung have used their own custom keyboard.. I did find that if you disabled haptic feedback (vibration) it was slightly better.

I'm running JF3 Firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dexter666:
Samsung keyboard is fast comparing to custom kb like htc ime which have lags like you are describing. But on current rom I didn't noticed any.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damianarnold:
Try switching off the click and reducing haptic (vibration)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
thanks will try that, i am currently on JFB

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] NotBillable:
Now that we have the root, has anyone been able to figure out how to increase the volume on this thing? Not the loudspeaker volume, but the volume during calls. I saw a post somewhere around here that someone was able to edit the equalizer on the x10 because it had been rooted.

I really hope there is something out there that increases the call volume aswell.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cbaltzer:
As far as I know/knew, Google Talk was incompatible with transports to other networks (MSN). However, I saw this post

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=73c73792d8500518&hl=en

Which implied to me that it actually was working. Can anyone confirm that it is, and possible give me some tips on how to set it up?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bommel0815:
I use a free transport with mine.

use an app like Psi on the desktop, add your google talk account, do a service discovery, enter the server you want to use and attach the transport.

I use MSN and ICQ transports and it works well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cbaltzer:
I've got it set up now, thanks! There seems to be a significant delay in contacts changing status (online/offline). I'm guessing that's normal though.

Also, is there a way to get contacts to show up by their MSN nickname, instead of their email address? Some seem to, while others are stuck as an email. Maybe it just takes time for them to change?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_fish:
I am using an ICQ Transport which is working just fine, no delay (guess that depends on what transport you're using, i'm on headcounter.org ((they've got MSN too)))

You should change the addresses manually (on GTalk) i had to do so too with some of my ICQ contacts as the transport isn't exactly perfect.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
I use transports to some IM networks specific for my country: Gadu-Gadu and Tlen. I use them for years and get little issues. It's really nice to have talk history from all networks in one place - accessible from WWW or mobile Gmail app.

I think Jabber doesn't store contacts names on server side - only their IDs. This is client responsibility to name IDs, so even if you name them in one Jabber client, second one won't know these names.

GTalk, on the other hand, uses Google Contacts to store names and other information. If you look into all your contacts, you will see these imported from other IMs, e.g. contact named "example@jabber.com" with email "example@jabber.com". Then you could change their names and this should affect names in GTalk app.

But this is somewhat screwed up. First: you get a lot of garbage in your contacts and you can't remove it, because then Gtalk will automatically remove Jabber contacts too. Ofc if you re-add Jabber contacts then Google Contacts will be automatically recreated.

Second: you probably want to merge IM information with already existing contacts. You could move all info from existing contacts to IM ones and then remove first ones, but this is totally stupid. Unfortunately if you will try to do it other way, then GTalk will remove your Jabber contacts ;-)

I have found a trick: you have to disable sync in your phone and modify contacts from Gmail interface. Move IM info to old contacts, remove garbage and then GTalk won't remove Jabber contacts during sync, because it will find them in other contacts.

But there is also some tricky thing. GTalk info must be stored in exactly the same way as in automatically created contacts. AFAIR it must be added as email field of private type. This is totally stupid, because Google Contacts API supports field especially for GTalk information and actually Android use it in some places, but GTalk syncing doesn't. If you add this information as GTalk field, then GTalk will remove Jabber contact or recreate garbage - I don't remember. I have added IM info in both email and GTalk fields to get full functionality.

Ahh and it's possible that Google fixed some of these issues. I was porting my contacts about year ago.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theSpam:
Which transport server did you use for MSN?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cbaltzer:
Sorry for the late reply, I sent in my N1 for a replacement, and haven't gotten the new one yet so I've been using my iPhone.

I used jabber.hot-chilli.net which gave me a bit of delay, then headcounter.org as it was recommended above. Headcounter didn't convert emails to nicknames like hot-chilli did (sometimes), so I switched back. Still looking for alternatives.

Edit: Actually, I remember there being a problem after I switched to headcounter.org, causing Talk to force close. Something with how the contact names are parsed, I saw in another thread.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peosb:
does this work anymore for anyone?

I'm unable to get any services listed when I'm connected to GTalk.

Tested several transport servers but neither are returning any services.

If I connect to an other jabber server services are returned from the same transport servers..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cbaltzer:
Use Psi to add the transport. Set it up to connect to Google's servers and sign in. When you go to add the transport, manually put in another server. Use jabber.hot-chilli.net, they use an updated Jabber server that parses names correctly so they don't crash Google Talk.

You'll have to authorize each contact once the transport is added, but Google put in an authorization limit per day, so only 40 or so will go through. The rest you'll see with a little red question mark on their status icon. Right click on them and go to authorize and resend the authorization manually. This may take a couple of days depending on how many contacts you have. As they authorize you'll see them show up in Google Talk.

Also, you may want to add their IM address to your actual contacts. Open GMail and find a contact, add a Google Talk IM listing, and put in their_email\40hotmailorwhatever.com@msn.jabber.hot-chilli.net. When you're signed in on your phone you'll see their status next to their name in Messages, Phone, and Contacts. Its handy.

I wrote a blog post on it here: http://chrisbaltzer.com

I'm from Spain and using CoPilot on my X10, so I recommended it to a friend from Uruguay and then I noticed that Copilot has not got maps of southamerica.

Does anyone know any other gps app who works there, without connection data of course?

I'm specialy interested in Uruguay!

Thanks a lot

noone using GPS in southamerica??? :(
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:

[XPERIA X10 General] Hoshar:
Try to use MapDroid
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Thanks, but Mapdroyd is only a map. Do not allows searching nor tracing routes either.

I'm searchig for any free navigator app which works in southamerica. I can't belive it doesn't exist.

Anyway thank you so much for you reply.

Im having a small problem id like to get some help with. After the update my wallpapers dont seem to be "panoramic" anymore....

Where as before i could "crop" large sized images without any problems, and they would move when u swiped the screen, i can no longer do so and the backround images on the phone appear to be static (backrounds dont move when u swipe).This probelm seem to there regardless of a pictures resolution

Not so fast. The Aria community still can't get any wifi hotspot apps working. We believe AT&T has done some fooling around with the kernel to prevent these apps from working. We do have tethering working over USB though.

[Android] gnarlyc:
So, I've looked at every vendor tree that I can find. Not all of them are set up the same, but that appears to be taken care of via the .mk files. I really want to help some folks with an Eris vendor tree. Is there anyone out there who can and will explain a few things to me?

1) What proprietary files can we leave in the repo, if any? I've seen at least one repo that seems to have some proprietary binaries in it, but then uses the extract-files.sh to pull the rest. I just don't get where the line is. Maybe they don't either?

2) Why can't we put all of the proprietary files in the repo? If we're building the ROM, and we're just going to put them on the ROM and post it anyway...

(I get copyright issues, but posting them in the ROM and posting them in the repo seem to be pretty much the same to me. )

Thanks!
[Android] sbarne3:
I would like to know the same thing.

I would also like to see a detailed "map" of the files in a "generic" rom

I have tried making sense of them by looking inside, but I am having a hard time telling if the files I am seeing are generic Android, device specific, or extra files someone threw in to customize the rom

I think a good start would be a list of the minimum files required to get Android running on a device along with a description of what each file (or at least each group of files) does.

Then maybe later add a description of the optional packages.

ROM chefs could then use that list as a starting place and add the specific information for the device they are cooking for.

Anyone know of a list like this or maybe one that is at least partially complete so that we wouldn't have to start from scratch?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CasualStarlord:
Hey guys, just wondering if there are any mods or replacements for the email tab in sense, because it's so so damn aweful :D

I've seen a heap of mods focussed on SMS's and the SMS display inside the current energyroms are great, but the email still looks like arse, and when you look at it in that stupid flippy page it's completely useless because it doesn't mark emails as read... is there any way to put the full email inboxes (and possibly the sms inbox on the sms tab) from outlook (like the normal ugly microsoft ones that are at least useful, if not the prettiest display of emails) (activesync) or imap account inboxes so that they show up directly in the email tab instead of having to delve into the inbox from that screen all the time?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
Awful? LOL. I think it's awesome. I would die to get my sms to show like in the email tab. :D

I would really love to.. but it might be heavy and slow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CasualStarlord:
It looks good, but thats about it.

Things that should have been there from day 1

1. Dedicated reply/replyall/forward key somewhere on the interface on the email tab

2. Mark all as read, on the email page

3. 1 click or maybe a

4. option to view just a list of items in the inbox within the sense tab instead of 1 at a time...

Maybe I should make a sense mod...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rterblanche:
I just want a delete button in Sense.

I am subscribed to a lot of mailing lists and want to delete some of those e-mails by just looking at the heading of the mail.

I have sometimes seen a delete button in sense, but as soon as you go to the next mail it disappears, to never come back.

So in short I want mail to work like SMS tab.

It does the job but Sense gets taken away. I only want the App Drawer to change.

Hello,

Don't think that's possible even with root as the widgets and app drawer are all built into sense.

I maybe wrong.
[Desire General] dipje:
yeah, the drawer is a part of the home screen.

So if you replace the HTC launcher (to get another drawer) you don't use the HTC homescreen, and can't use HTC widgets.

Until somebody makes a 'mod' of Rosie that has another launcher, this ain't so easy :)
