This blows...makes sense the phone won't come out until after the movie, especially with the way the EVO was released after the Prince of Persia movie.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Not exactly...read what I said in the other thread..
[Epic 4G General] radar5:
thanks for the sweepstakes link!
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
1) If I charge my phone to 100% (green light)

2) Power off phone, let it charge (orange to green light)

3) Power on phone, battery is always 90% at boot

4) I can continue charging this to 100% again (green light)

5) Power off phone....the whole cycle continues.

I've completed this cycle 4 complete times now.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
I think most of those are normal, in one of the 'improving battery life guides' it basically outlined the part about shutting phone off and it switches to Orange again.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] prchohan:
Has Froyo fixed the issue of "Family" and "Friends" contact groups getting deleted on web UI?

I don't like the in call wallpaper (green robot) on Android that appears when I am talking to someone not in my contacts list. Is there any way this can be changed?

Finally, is there a way to make Gmail app allow choosing from more than one email addresses when sending an email? I have configured three "Send From" addresses under my Google Apps email account but Gmail app shows only one (default).

Thanks much.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Delhiteen:
What do you want to do actually this was a different kind of querry......
[Nexus One Android Development] GuestK00233:
I spent all night trying to do this so im going to document this. :confused:

-None of this stuff is my work , thanks to Pershoot, teamdouch and cyanogen for the files to push

-This is a very ugly hack. Maybe someone else can make this simpler by making a flashable rom with this already applied. I'm not knowledgeable enough at this point to make this any easier or i would. :)

-I dont dev , i dont make roms and i dont claim to be good at this. !!!!PLEASE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! BACKUP!!!!

-Feel free to take this and fix my flaws, dont need to give me credit.

okay this is how i got apps2ext in cm6 nexus

Im doing this right after flashing cm , haven't installed apps or registered my account on the phone. i have a existing ext partition.

1.Symlink

(copy any of your apps to the new location if you already have a running system without this hack)

adb remount

adb shell mkdir /sd-ext

adb shell mkdir /sd-ext/app

adb shell rm /data/app

adb shell ln -s /sd-ext/app /data/app

2.init files

Okay i added this to a few init files. but you need to add this line to an init file in

/system/etc/init.d/

busybox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext/

any may work for example this is /system/etc/init.d/00banner

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Print startup info
#
busybox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext/
L="log -p i -t cm"

$L "Welcome to Android `getprop ro.build.version.release` / `getprop ro.modversion`";
$L " _ ";
$L " __ __ _ ___ _ _ __ ___ __ _ _ _ _ __ __))";
$L "((_ \\(/'((_( ((\\( ((_)((_( (('((\\( ((\`1( ((_)((_( ";

$L " ";

3.flash boot.img of kang-o-rama froyo. its in the (final) update zip at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6973422&postcount=2139

extract and copy the boot.img file to your sdcard

adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

adb shell reboot recovery

4. Now you have apps2ext, but wifi wont work

So........

flash pershoots nexus froyo kernel from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ using your recovery

THIS IS UGLY I KNOW

If your smarter than me please make this easier for all of us, this took me hours to figure out on my own + twitter

Thanks ahead of time to whom ever helps with this
[Nexus One Android Development] brandnewsimmy:
I have not tried this rom, but does

pm setInstallLocation 2

(in ADB)

not work with this one?
[Nexus One Android Development] knight4led:
That is for the Froyo built in apps2sd

The OP is trying to get the old style apps2ext working. Two different beasts.
[Nexus One Android Development] medjai:
What's the reason for the boot.img step? I believe after creating the symlink you don't need to do anything else
[Nexus One Android Development] GuestK00233:
aps2sd in froyo dose not use ext and really makes allot of apps feel broken. no widgets no account sync, no launchers, Its horrible. And Cyanogen thinks that this isnt important so want implement a preliminary scripts until its worked into the frame work. so i did it my self. the hard way
[Nexus One Android Development] medjai:
Also how did you create the sd-ext directory when it's a read only file system?
[Nexus One Android Development] sir*mez:
Did you "adb remount"? It is the first command.
[Nexus One Android Development] Harsh:
Darktremor Apps2SD works perfect in CM6-RC1, i am using it and running it perfectly, just used different boot.img file than the described in his thread. All u need is his update.zip, boot.img and Amon Ra recovery, and knowledge of adb/fastboot. Its working great for me.

For best results extract boot.img from MCR21 with Apps2SD.
[Nexus One Android Development] GuestK00233:
thanks good tip
[Nexus One Android Development] Wysie:
Do take note that this way of Apps2SD is essentially the old way (whereby everything is on SD, through the use of symlinks), whereas the one used in CM5.0.8 is achieved through some code additions to framework (and possibly more)... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] medjai:
yes I used adb remount beforehand and it still gives me this read only error
[Captivate General] Jreitnauer7:
Will we be able to put Side Loading Apps on the captivate without rooting?
[Captivate General] cropythy:
Yes, you download and extract the android sdk, connect the phone to your computer and make sure you can detect it with command promt (or terminal in linux or equivalent in mac) by changing to the sdk directory then tools and type adb devices. If it comes up then type the command adb install name_of_the_file_your_trying_to_install.apk.

This worked for aria before root and has worked for the backflip community for some time, no reason to think it won't work for the Captivate. (Sorry for bad explanation, tired and might be a few mistakes in there but thats the quick version of it)
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
i thought rooting was required?
[Captivate General] chaoscentral:
wouldn't necessarily call that "side-loading" you still wont be able to backup all your apks to the sd card and install them from the sd card if u need to wipe.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Is it not possible to pull the SD card, and copy apps to it from PC, and then put back in and install?
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
That would be the definition of side-loading ATT is refering to. Some people just need to be told a third, fourth, fifth time.

Thanks for the adb mention.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
Anyone else notice that the Voicemail sounds terrible? It sounds metallic and the quality is very low. Is there a fix to this or any other visual voicemail apps that you guys recommend? I did not like Fusion Visual Voicemail.
[EVO 4G General] gman8966:
I totally agree. It sounds terribly "tinny".

When I first got the phone, I turned it on and had a voicemail, and I thought to myself, wow this better not be how the calls sound too.
[EVO 4G General] rasterX:
Yup, the sampling rate seems very low (and/or overly compressed), definitely worse than voice audio.

BTW, does anyone know how these visual voicemail systems work? Are the messages cached on the phone, or are they stored by the carrier on their back end?
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
My brother complained of this on his EVO as well. I wonder why anyone with Android wouldn't just use Google voice instead. I have and its been great.
[EVO 4G General] champ052005:
I agree with you guys. I just cant stand to use the stock voicemail anymore. If I am in a semi-loud room, I can barely hear any of my messages.

I am trying the Google Voice App. They have an option for voicemail only as well, so I will report back to tell you guys of the quality.
[EVO 4G General] 06ms6:
I've been using Google Voice for my voicemail since I had my Hero; I love it.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Might as well get the full number. No point in doing voicemail only. This way you got a second number anyway, and plus Sprint doesn't fully support their automated voicemail setup. I think on Sprint you have to have an actual google voice number to do conditional call forwarding. Google voice gives you the code to set this up on sprint.
[Fascinate General] gonzoine:
anyone have any idea when the fascinate will be released?
[Fascinate General] kregstrong:
I heard mid august, wish it was sooner cause I'm bummed about the droud x bein locked down
[Fascinate General] Roland Deschain:
Verizon will probably release it like one day after the 30 day mark of the Droid X, so people that are mad at how locked down it is can't swap it to the Fascinate. Wouldn't surprise me. Makes me hesitant to buy the Droid X, since I'm kind of wanting the Fascinate, but am anxious for a new phone.
[Fascinate General] gonzoine:
I'm kinda new to the android scene. what does it mean to be locked down? that it can't be rooted?
[Fascinate General] Roland Deschain:
Motorola is doing absolutely everything in their power to make the Droid X as restricted as possible, in terms of the Android hacking community getting root access to it. The current most accurate estimate until root access is achieved for the Droid X is "at least 4 months", according to Birdman. Cracking the bootloader (which is necessary to use any custom ROMs) may never be achieved. Motorola is really screwing the pooch here and making a lot of fans of the original Droid unhappy.

Samsung, on the other hand, has embraced the Android hacking community. The bootloader is completely open and accessible, and root was achieved very easily. The huge Galaxy S release around the world and with all the major cell providers in the U.S. might very well catapult Samsung to the top of the list for cell phone manufacturers, which is no easy feat; time will tell. One thing is for sure: there will be a TON of Galaxy S accessories available, and it will have a gigantic hacking community before long. I'm pretty impressed with their Galaxy S launch; not only is it huge and (I think) the biggest phone launch ever by anyone, but the fact that they've managed to keep the phone "wide open" to the hacking community really shows they're in it for the customer and not JUST money. (or rather, they're in it for the money via pleasing their customers)
[Fascinate General] MrNetwork:
OP, how about putting a question mark after the title of the thread to indicate your are asking a question here. Otherwise people are lead to believe you know the release the date.
[Fascinate General] gonzoine:
lol my bad. it's fixed
[Fascinate General] systoxity:
att started dishin theirs out today ahead of schedule. non contract price is 350 for us. check with ur local v store to see if ur galaxy is also gettin put out early.
[Fascinate General] dr154:
No mention of a release date anywhere...
[Fascinate General] mdram-omnia:
ive emailed both samsung and vzw, neither will give me any info as to release date

vzw only said that there are new phones being tested to see how they work on thier network
[Fascinate General] systoxity:
hmmmmmmmm they could be purposely delaying it to give their new droid breathing room. sorry guys
[Fascinate General] bizzshow26:
I wouldn't doubt their holding off on releasing this. The Droidx and droid2 are supposed to be their money makers so why throw this phone in the middle and muck up the sales on the other two. They could also be trying to lock it down who knows. All I know is I want this phone
[Fascinate General] mdram-omnia:
from unwiredview

Yesterday we showed you Verizon’s leaked summer catalog. And while it did feature some usual suspects, such as the Motorola Droid X, and even a yet-unannounced smartphone, the Motorola Droid 2, one device was strangely missing from it.

The formally announced Samsung Fascinate, Verizon’s very own Galaxy S, was nowhere to be found in the catalog, hinting to public availability post-summer season.

And now it looks like, indeed, this may be the last-to-launch of all the different Galaxy S variations to show up in the US

Verizon’s official comment on the Fascinate’s release date now states a “late summer or early fall” possibility. And judging from the construction of that phrase, fall availability seems the most plausible right now.
[Fascinate General] QuickSilver98:
It's unfortunate, but it makes sense that Verizon would hold off in order to sell more Droids
[Fascinate General] mdram-omnia:
read that att launched its galaxy s version on sunday
[Fascinate General] lafester:
I don't get this at all. what the hell does vzw care which phone it sells as long as its selling them. Having such a large customer base they could really lead the way by putting out phone after phone while sprint & att try to keep up.
[Fascinate General] mdram-omnia:
rumor has the droid 2 for august 23rd release, with android 2.2

so that pushes the fascinate out until sept if they keep staggering
[Fascinate General] FSRBIKER:
Verizon really pisses me off with this, since they can't keep up with demand on the DroidX or the Incredible they should have a high end Android phone to offer their customers. I really don't understand the rumored 2Gb internal memory either, it's a high end device and all the other Galaxy's have 16Gb if I remember correctly. I played with the AT&T version and it is a great phone, same overall size as my Droid but alot thinner...just feels good in your hand.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
read somewhere that motorola and Verizon committed over $100,000,000 (one hundred million) dollars in advertising for the droid. motorola needs the droid's to do well or they'll have to leave this industry shortly. This is the last hope for them. They dropped the ball with the evolution of phones to smartphones. And the Droids are their last gasp. So just like ATT won't advertise the captivate on T.V. or thier website. Don't expect Verizon to advertise it either.
[Fascinate General] Epell:
Samsung Fascinate is so much more appealing to me than any of the droid series right now.

Maybe Verizon should ditch motorola and make a deal with samsung :P

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] corruptfate:
Hi guys,

Anyone that have the vignette app figure out how to use the flashlight on the phone and if possible to record video with it?

Thanks in Advance
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ungruntled:
The flash is easy enough in Vignette - there's a button on the screen where you can choose flash off, auto or on. But it's not "true flash", in that it just activates the light for a few seconds before taking the pic. Still better than nothing though, and certianly better than having to activate it through a menu.

However, switching to video mode just loads up the stock video app, so that will be just the same as it was before. It effectively kicks you out of Vignette so it's not ideal, but it's better than having to go through the process of loading the stock camera app yourself.

It doesn't detract from the fact that Vignette is a great camera app, capable of loads of effects and frames. It's definitely worth a purchase.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidPerson:
I havent had an urge to root, but i took a video recently and while the picture was decent, it really didnt do motion well, it was blurry enough i dont think id use it. I know that there is 720p available if i root, but what is the story on fps? what is it stock and what is it rooted? rooted i could get 480/30fps or 720/20fps correct? and is stock 30fps? anything less seems like nexus owners would have been ripped off. is this true and if so is there a chance the 720 fps could go up in the future? basically i want to root but the only change i want is better video quality--is it possible?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Your numbers are correct. The original settings are 24fps, I don't see that as a ripoff.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Stock is only 20 fps I believe. So yes you would see a nice improvement in smooth video. All my Nokia phones did 30 fps and looks much smoother than 20 fps in my opinion.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
I have a few questions which I am a little unclear after rooting my Eris:

What is the purpose of partition sdcard option on the Android Sys Recovery Menu? Within it, there are 4 options and what are they?

is Nand backup sufficient or do I need Nand + ext backup? I am getting an error when running Nand + ext.

When installing custom rom, do I have to do the amon's recovery image step or do I just boot the phone with the system recovery, wipe and flash zip from sdcard?

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Aman Ra replaces the default recovery. IE when you hold volume up while powering on you are in Aman Ra, this will be a permanent change unless you unroot I think. Essentially as long as you installed it when you rooted, you never install it again.

The partitions are used for Apps2SD. as is the ext partitions. Unless your using Apps2SD you only need to do a nand backup. Once you start using Apps2SD you will want to do both.

Lastly often enough when a nand+ext back up will not work, it is because you are missing a /sys/sd folder.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sangweb:
thx for the info

I got it now, so for installing custom rom, all I have to do is boot to the recovery, do a wipe, flash sd card. I am glad I rooted :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Jamolah:
I have a text message with an attachment icon. But when I click on it nothing comes up. I have auto-retrieve checked.

How do I see the attachment?
[XPERIA X10 General] Keegan_P:
It says in the User Guide, but go in to the app, go to the thread, press and hold the attatchment, and press "Copy to SD"
[XPERIA X10 General] Jamolah:
oh thanks a lot, cuz I went to the userguide on the phone. But it didn't say anything.

Thanks again. Will try it out.

okay so I saved it to SD card but how do I look at the pic sent in the text message?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
I think it Sense (?) who automatically does a backup of your system to /sdcard/backup/HTC Desire

All the files look like binary soup, does HTC encrypt them before they store them there? And is there a way to decrypt them?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
I am not sure if this si correct as i cannot remember if i am thinking of the right files but from what i recall certain parts are encrypted (database) but others are not. It depends what files you are looking at in the backup.

you need htc sense to read/ restore and then you can later use a third party to backup / restore also
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
I was just looking for the bookmarks. Annoying I have to see if i can find third party apps to do that though.

Perhaps with googles new app creator i can make it myself so i don't have to rely on 3d party.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
ok so how do i get this onto my phone, i apologize, this is my first android phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Just go ahead and download the zip file su-2.2.2-ef-signed.zip from that thread I linked to. Plug your USB cable into your phone and computer, and either go to Notifications, tap on Chareg Only, and then change it to Disk Drive and press done, then open My Computer (or if on Mac/Linux, double-click the drive on your desktop) and copy the ZIP file directly to SD card, or use ADB to push the file by first turning on USB debugging if it isn't already (Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging) then open Command Prompt (Terminal on Mac/Linux), go to wherever you have ADB located (usually the Tools folder of the Android SDK) and use this command:

WINDOWS: adb push *path to ZIP*\su-2.2.2-ef-signed.zip /sdcard/
MAC/LINUX: ./adb puh *path to ZIP*/su-2.2.2-ef-signed.zip /sdcard/

If you used the ADB method: Go ahead and just use the command "adb reboot recovery" (or "./adb reboot recovery" if on Mac/Linux) to reboot into your Recovery. If you used USB Mass Storage, power off your phone, then hold down the Volume Down button, then continue holding Volume Down while holding the Power button. You will then see the bootloader screen (white screen with three skateboarding Androids at the bottom) and can let go of the buttons as soon as you do. Press Volume-Down to highlight "RECOVERY", and then the Power button to select it. Next you'll see the words "HTC EVO 4G" on a white screen (like a normal boot-up) followed shortly after your Recovery image.

Next, use Volume Up/Down to move your selection up/down and use the Power button to select "Install ZIP from SD Card" (or something along those lines). You should have one option for "install update.zip" and one for "Choose ZIP from SD card" (again, or something similar). Choose the latter of the two, and then use Volume Up/Down to select su-2.2.2-ef-signed.zip, and Power to select. Wait a few moments until you're told that the installation was successful, and then select to reboot the phone.

You should then be able to boot into Android, and have the Super User Permissions app installed! Whenever you try to run something which needs root, you'll get a pop-up asking for permission. Go ahead and launch ROM Manager, and you'll get the pop-up, make sure "Remember" is checked, and then press allow. If ROM Manager still complains that it didn't get permissions, re-launch it, and it should work fine.
