[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I did the root without unlocking bootloader method up to the point before flashing the amon RA. I downloaded ROM Manager and installed it that way. When I reboot after installing via ROM Manager and go into recovery it works. If I power down and then back up again (holding vol down, choosing recovery) I'm back at stock recovery. Is this normal? If not, how do I get it to ALWAYS go to my custom recovery ROM?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OutlawPro:
It's normal. You need to rename your install_recovery.sh so that it doesn't run on bootup. It is in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I'm so new to this... Can you explain in further detail how to rename it? I don't know where to find or how to access "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh".

Must be regional. I found it here http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/bohlool.net.toogleHotspot/ but when I scan the barcode I get no result on my phone. I grabbed the apk off your site so will try that out

EDIT: Now I just get "There is a problem parsing the package"

Interesting, because I can see it without any problem on my Nexus One stock 2.2. Did you restart the market app? this is the link EasyShare gave me: http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:bohlool.net.toogleHotspot

User comments are strange

I've check the comment for my app, despite the fact that I said this app is not supported on Droid(s) because they disabled or restricted WIFI, I got lots of (30) 1 star with commnets like "dosn't work on droid, ..."

but this one is interesting:

"DO NOT USE THIS APP...DEV PUT A 'DO NOT INSTALL ON SDCARD' RESTRICTION ON THIS APP SO IT WASTES PHONE'S INTERNAL MEMORY. Try Tether Share FREE!"

The app is "132KB" and it is a widget and most launcher apps will not show widgets if they installed on sd-card.

I can't understand some users, but thats the downside of democracy.

I see this everywhere. When I search for it I don't get anything that explains what these terms mean, almost as if it is common knowledge around here (probably is, I'm new). I imagine this is a ridiculously noob question so please excuse my ignorance. Maybe I didn't use the perfect search term or missed an explanation hidden deep on page 30 of some thread with a strange title but I did a good faith search before asking this. Although I've had nothing but absolute polite experiences here wwith experienced people helping guys like me I still feel the need to explain myself... probably a habit left over from other less forgiving/friendly message boards.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Busybox provides your device with additional Linux / UNIX based commands that you sometimes need for root level tasks

cut and pasted from another thread:

An odex file is basically a chunk of source code that has already been extracted from the apk and put on /system/. This is done to speed up the first boot of a rom (you know how your first boot takes a long time… that’s while it is extracting all of these dex files) and also to save space on /data/. Our stock sprint rom comes with this odex files to give you those benefits, however it also prevents us from “hacking” those files and modifying them. This build has taken all those odex files and injected them back in the apk’s. So expect a slower first boot, and more space taken up on /data/. Deodexing files allow us to theme them.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Yeah, phone forums can be tough to search because the terms are so generic and frequently used it can take forever to find an answer among the baziillions of results returned most of which have nothing to do with what you were trying to figure out. Yet standard forum etiquette dictates that you do a search first so what ends up happening is a search usually returns one thread after another that look like pay dirt as you read the thread title but end up with nothing more than a "do a search dumbass" response. More than once I have spent a lot of time searching for something here and gave up. This is not true of any other forum where I normally turn up an answer in minutes, even seconds. At any rate you have your answers but dont be afraid to ask something here as long as you have done your part and made a valid effort to seek the information out without a spoon feed. Most of us get it, those that dont are not worth worrying about.

[Desire General] Cactus42:
Got a Desire on Virgin Mobile, and it's missing the "Virgin" network details both in the top right-hand corner of the lockscreen (though I get the Emergency Call Only and No Service text) and on the pulldown notification screen.

If you go into Settings > About Phone > Status, the Network shows Virgin, and the APN's have been set correctly too. It's a minor thing as the phone works fine, just wondered if there's a fix/workaround. This happens on any Froyo ROM I've tried, but on 2.1 ROMS it shows this fine.

Hi,

I have been reading about Google's Openspot app these days and would like to give it a try, but apparently it's not available in my country yet. Would someone care to upload the .apk file?

By the way, do you guys know the reason for the geographical restriction? Being crowd-sourced, there should be no restricted data or reason not to use it just everywhere should there?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] $ik:
Open Spot

I was looking for that app too. Since I could not find it on the internet I faked a US provider and installed it from the market. And now I share it with people who don't have root.

Have fun. But I think nobody is actually using it ^^

This app is developed by volunteers at Google. It's not an "official" Project.

I have copied the update into may phone but it show "This hot fix is not compatible with your device"

My rom version 1.19.707.1 (51489) WWE. Does that means this hotfix is only for Windows mobile 6.5 which rom version is higher than 1.86.707.4.

Any one can help. THX.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] agrickard:
I believe it is only for WinMo 6.5 with Sense/Manilla 2.5, since it is a hotfix for Sense 2.5's messages.

Even with this I had to copy the .exe file to my phone (not memory card) and run it from there as it did nothing when trying to run from my SD card.
[Desire General] pjm77:
Hey desire fans:)

I've been wondering if it's possible to use desire's optical track pad more like a trackball on nexus one - not like the link-to-link jump but to get normal cursor for selecting text etc.

Does anybody think that would work?
[Desire General] cgrec92:
if you are using sense then you can simply hold down on text you want to select, a magnifying glass will even appear for precision, and you can then extend your selection with 2 large arrows - pretty simple there

if you are not using sense (froyo i presume) then in a browser or gmail etc go to menu -> more and select text, you can then move your trackpad and it will be displayed as a cursor in which you can select text

hope this helps
[Desire General] doggie123:
If you mean when editing or entering text, you can do the following on the Desire (or probably any Sense UI phone with a trackpad):

gently swipe left / right / up / down over the trackpad to move the text cursor,

long-press (click) the trackpad to pop-up a menu with several options (select all, copy all, start selecting text, paste, etc),

after choosing "select text", the text cursor will slightly alter its appearance, and then swiping in any direction will create an expanding text selection; long-press it once more to perform Copy or Cut operations with the selected text, or to simply stop selecting text in case you changed your mind.

As the previous poster said you can usually select text using touch screen actions as well, but using the trackpad can be more accurate or just plain easier.

Enjoy :D
[Desire General] pjm77:
Thanks guys!

It'll make my life easier!

Ultimately what I'm looking for is just to get a normal mouse cursor - it's not just about selecting&typing in text - you can do so much more...

Is it possible to flash nexus one rom to desire? Would track pad start working as trackball then?

[Streak 5 Android Development] sottyc:
Is android as bad as apple? Iv come from a N900 and it was simple. You pressed a button and the app was sent to the background (still running) and then you press a different button to see all the apps running in little windows..

I dont even know how to close a app for good or keep it running in background and how to see whats open and whats not without a app killer app?

Am I missing something?

As bad as apple? Nope...but i am also waitin' for this "button". =)
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
there's no taskswitcher built in, there's obviously lots out there, but that doesnt mean it has no multi-tasking as you can press the switch apps by going to home screen and trigger the app again which has been running in the back ground.
[Streak 5 Android Development] sottyc:
How do I do this dont get what I press? It seems to have a mind of its own and I never know how to close the app for good or keep it running..

sorry new to android..
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
to close most well behaving apps you use the back button, holding down back button will close whatever app you are using with just one press.

some apps will stay resident (but not active) in the background if you press the home key once which should drop you back to the homepage.

on the streak if you hold the home key down then you get the switcher screen and across the bottom there's a list of recently used apps, so you can switch between apps that way..

I'm also new to android and learning quickly :D

tbh I've tried a few taskswitchers etc and have jkAppswitch at the mo because it works well, but that method above works ok as well.

I wish Dell had given us a basic drop down taskswitcher..
[Streak 5 Android Development] dead101:
Once tap to back button take you backward

tapping twise close the app

holding back button takes you to homescreen which you were on

home tap dosent close the app its just take you to homescreen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisko:
Hello, I'm still thinking if I should update the radio of my Desire to the latest version (to have 720p and stuff), but I am not sure if the procedure would go normally. So before I start, I ask you this - what would happen if for some reason the radio flash crashes in the middle of the process?

Would I be able to flash it again or my phone is gone forever?

For example on the iPhone radio (baseband? are they the same) can't break the phone at all and you can flash it as many times as you want. Is the same case on the Desire or something BAD goes ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qliratu:
If it goes bad... u have a very expensive brick ;-)

Dont touch your phone while flashing, just put it on the table and wait 5 mins (that's what i did)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
As above, if you have a bad radio flash your phone will be useless.

It's perfectly safe to do, just don't interrupt it, and remember that it reboots twice during the flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefh:
It happened with my previous phone, HERO, your phone will be bricked if you interrupt a radio flash. But after sending it for service, they replaced my mainboard in warranty, had it back within 3 working days! :)

It only took me longer to root that one again, as it had a newer firmware.

So wait for such an update to finish, even when it reboots during the process. That's where I thought it was already finished, so I took the battery out...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
Don't warry about this.

If any thing goes wrong you can still flash it again or downgrade your radio.

If you want to be sure act like this:

1: Battery>40%;

2: Put a copy of both radio(the new one and the one you are using now) in your sd root;

3: Reboot in recovery and make a NAND backup(it doesn't include radio);

4: Flash the latest radio(THE PHONE WILL REBOOT 2 OR 3 TIMES DO NOT TOUCH IT UNTILL IT'S FULLY BOOTED)

5: Enjoy your up-to-date phone.

If phone goes in boot loop flash the old radio back and restore NAND, then try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
If the flash goes wrong, you cannot just simply reflash or downgrade the radio. If it goes wrong it will almost certainly totally brick the phone. There are posts from people who interrupted a radio flash and the phone refused to power on. Nothing fixed it apart from a warranty repair by HTC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bisko:
socktug, that's good to know. Well, when I get home I will set up my spellbook, payerbook and anything-requiring-mana-book, several mana potions and will flash the new radio :)

Thanks all for the answers!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
also during the flash the phone seems to turn off for about 10 seconds, do not touch the power buttons or pull the battery

literally just dont touch it no matter what, it will seem like its not working but it is
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jussy:
Because of my stupidity during my first radio flash I didn't read the info and when phone rebooted I've pulled out the battery.

Then phone went in boot loop and I got it workin again doing as writen before.

Maybe I've just been lucky.

Not exactly what you are asking for, but you could do a search for swype.

It's a keyboard that you just swipe your finger across the correct letters and it somehow works out what you want to type! It's really very accurate.

Failing that you could try better keyboard or smart keyboard pro. I can't remember which, but one of them has skins and iPhone is an option on it.
